How do you approach a discussion knowing there will be conflicting opinions?
@9JH647Q1yr1Y
The primary argument for the big tent approach is rooted in intellectual humility: properly recognizing the limitations to what each of us knows.
@9JH5SXT1yr1Y
I simply state my opinion, why based on my life experiences and values I stand for this particular claim, then listen carefully to others
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you handle a situation where two valuable but opposing ideas are presented?
@9JYWCTF1yr1Y
I would try to see the middle ground and incorporate both ideals to were the values of both are somewhat represented.
@9JBKWMR1yr1Y
I would list out the ways that both ideas help the environment, community, government, etc. and go based on that. If one idea has more benefits than the other, then I'd more than likely would go with that idea, unless the downsides are worse than the benefits. Otherwise, I'd go with the second option, also depending on the benefits and downsides.
well first i have no idea at all but if I'm making a choice i would take the time to understand the options before i make a decision
@9JBLBRN1yr1Y
The use of the big tent is good for a wide diverse aspect to attract a larger audience for politics, but it can be taken and used for the sheer purpose of using people for their votes.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why do you think it's important for different generations to be represented in decision-making processes?
@9KCV32Q1yr1Y
all generations are affected by the decisions being made
@9KJJKYH12mos12MO
All generations are affected. Even the youngest generation that may not be heavily affected now WILL be affected when they’re older. Additionally, all generations are impacted but in different ways and scales on any and all topics!
@9K8LDKV1yr1Y
Not every generation have the same perspective so we have to make sure every generation is included, once they are of age
@9KCTTQ91yr1Y
Different experiences and viewpoints from different generations will create a more unbiased decision making process.

So that you are open to more ideas instead of being stuck on one opinion.
@9KYDPD8 12mos12MO
Keeping an open mind is beneficial for everyone because considering other’s opinions is important when in a debate or discussion.
@9KYHMPY12mos12MO
If we diversify our government, there will be less of one sole group that has the most power. There will be more minorities, and the majority of people will cease to exist.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can you describe a time when diversity within a team led to creative or unexpected solutions?
@9HTZ5S61yr1Y
My first thought is the United Nations. This is an example of various diverse cultures coming together and creating solutions to problems all over the world
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does it mean to you to have your ideas embraced in a group with diverse views?
My ideas and opinions should be considered and heard, but should also be understood to not be the only "correct" opinion.
@9KCTSYX1yr1Y
I think it would be nice if all different types get together and embrace each others idealizations and have a respectable conversation about that.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What is the power of having both loud and quiet voices heard in group discussions?
@9HV22XQ1yr1Y
The quiet people tend to think deeper about the conversation and let their answers marinate while the loud people tend to be more blunt and just say what on their minds, leading to a conversation with lots of mixed input.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think varied perspectives can strengthen a team's decision-making process?
@9KCXSKX1yr1Y
Others ways to strengthen a team's decision-making process is to bring different people together and explore different opinions, comments, and ideas.

It helps because more people means different and more solutions to different problems

How might diversity within a political party lead to internal growth and stronger policy proposals?
@9KZZPY412mos12MO
they are more aware of what they know and what they support.
@9KZZNHXRepublican12mos12MO
If there is diversity within a government then new ideas can come about and not just one party can take over and possibly become a dictatorship.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why do you think some people are afraid of including too many different opinions?
@9HH4JLR1yr1Y
People have few informed opinions and prefer to follow the herd
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has a teacher or coach created a sense of unity among diverse individuals?
@9HPDWRS1yr1Y
creating a "Big Tent'' or fostering unity among diverse individuals is often a commendable approach. ir involves embracing inclusivity and recognizing the value that different perspectives bring to a group or community. this can contribute to a more collaborative and supportive environment.
some coaches do a great job of making a team of different individuals
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What are some potential downsides to a group that only welcomes like-minded individuals?
@9HN63R3Libertarian 1yr1Y
There is no diversity of opinion and no challenge. It is healthy to be faced with adversity to strengthen your views.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why might some group members feel hesitant to express opinions that differ from the majority?
@9HM6Z9BIndependent1yr1Y
There is still the risk of separation and too much majority within the “tent.”
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Does a 'Big Tent' approach dilute a political party's core principles or strengthen them through diversity?
@9HDX9J41yr1Y
I think it might strength because it's based off of everyone else point of view not just one persons.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y

@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
How can teams or clubs at school ensure that everyone, regardless of popularity or confidence, is heard and valued?
@9L8MZB311mos11MO
Everyone should be able to argue their case on why they should be accepted to the group and have an anonymous vote in a hat
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
When have you felt that your unique characteristics were an asset to the collective wisdom of a group?
@9L6M28N 11mos11MO
Political parties should have a broad range of different people but there should also be more political parties since the two parties only actually represent a small portion of the population. There would be a lot better representation if there were 8 major parties compared to 2 major parties.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Does bringing in diverse perspectives under one political 'tent' promote unity or create confusion and conflict?
@9H3Z22H1yr1Y
I believe, in general, "Big Tent" ideologies are smart because if there is a party or group that have diverse perspectives, it has a higher chance of reaching more people and for citizens to be able to agree more issues.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
What strategies have you seen be effective in preventing a large, diverse group from fracturing into smaller, less inclusive subgroups?
It can be beneficial to a country's inclusivity, but at times there are cultural groups or ideologies who are against it which breaks its main objective which is to make inclusivity for all, one of its strategies is to create an open environment for all and making sure all needs are catered while their ideas are unified and preserved which is a good strategy after all.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can a group be truly strong if it only surrounds itself with similar viewpoints?
@9JH52Q91yr1Y
No, because you are only seeing one side of the part
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
What creative solutions have you found when trying to include and represent everyone's voice in a group decision?
@8Z5SKCG 11mos11MO
You can usually get good ideas from a wide multitude of people, but the issues begin to arise the longer the group is established. In the beginning we inheriting try to find what we have in common, and tackle those issues with precision that makes everyone happy. But the longer the group is established, the more we begin to see our differences. Which leads to nothing more than strife and confusion amongst people watching from the outside.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
Why is it beneficial to have varying viewpoints when tackling a complex issue at school or within your circle of friends?
@9L7VLDP 11mos11MO
More opinions/views more opportunity for discussion. Find a common ground.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What are some ways that having various life experiences represented in a group has been beneficial?

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When has listening to a wide array of voices led to personal growth or learning for you?
@9KCKBYX1yr1Y
You should have an open mind when it comes to everyone's opinion so that you can decipher what views you share.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What role do you believe respect and understanding play in discussions among people with varying views?
@9KN8QHX12mos12MO
I think that it is very important to respect other people's view even if you do not agree.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever felt empowered by a group's acceptance, and how did it impact your contributions?
@9JQMJF41yr1Y
I don't feel empowered because people are accepted.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
What role do shared human experiences play in uniting people with different political beliefs?
@9KYD3HJ12mos12MO
They allow people from opposing sides to relate to one another and work towards a common goal
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think a group benefits from actively seeking out and listening to minority voices?
@9KNG4QS12mos12MO
I think its important to listen to minorities, but we should listen to the majority.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How did it feel the last time your unique perspective was celebrated in a team setting?
However, the Big Tent ideology is not without its challenges. Balancing the interests and views of a diverse coalition can be difficult, and there is often a risk of internal divisions and conflicts. Despite these challenges, the Big Tent approach remains a popular strategy for many political parties seeking to maximize their appeal and influence.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y

Building consensus in a classroom with diverse views can be challenging but do-able by finding common ground, focus shared on other perspectives, and goals.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What strategies can a group use to make sure minority voices are not just heard, but also acted upon?
@9J7MYD51yr1Y
Have more POC in the government? I don't really understand the importance.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever changed a group for the better by introducing a unique perspective of your own?
@9J6RJGS1yr1Y
Yes when you have friends, you have to talk to be on agreements with each other. I usually introduce the fact that just because we aren't constantly talk doesn't mean we aren't friends. My friends take this information and use it maybe when they haven't heard from me.
