Mandates and Respect

How should we actually react to everything that is going on in the world and the always-changing events; COVID vaccinations, anti-bullying, everyone wins, gender pronouns, and whatever else is to come? Perhaps we should accept that everyone will have an opinion on each of these issues. While remaining respectable adults, we need to have talks in addition to understanding what others think and grasp what's going on. How can we know if the vaccine information we've gathered is accurate? Sometimes the media and big voices out there distort the facts by combining them with their own opinions and political views. The most important way we can make progress now is to listen intently to both sides, and, without being defensive, talk through these difficult discussions. That's the only way we're going to reduce the polarization.
