Enjoy constructive discussions about controversial issues in a friendly atmosphere? Join one of our Delicate Dialogues!
2nd Mondays ~ 7-8pm ~ Council Chambers ~ ADULTS AND TEENS WELCOME!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS!
- Prior to the dialogue, read the brief Opposing Viewpoints piece that explores both sides of the chosen topic—copies provided at the library.
- Come to the dialogue prepared to discuss both sides of the issue using points from the reading, but you should also feel free to offer insights from your own experience/perspective, other information you have gathered from reading, TV, etc.
- Leave the dialogue with an enriched understanding of both sides of a “delicate” issue—and come back for more!
JAN. 12—TOPIC: Health Care
- “Universal Health Care Is Necessary to Increase Access to Quality Medicine,” by Barack Obama.
- “Universal Health Care Will Reduce the Quality of American Medicine,” by Adam P. Summers.
"We're not going to agree on every single issue, but what we have to do is to be able to create an atmosphere where we can disagree without being disagreeable and then focus on those things that we hold in common as Americans." ~ Barack Obama
