Yes, I am willing to actively participate in an ideal harmonious discourse in this class and contribute to creating an attention space built on mutual respect. I much look forward to it!
I am willing to work toward ideal harmonious discourse, but I don't anticipate perfection. I think often emotions and conflict get in the way of ideal/harmonious discourse, but are also useful and appropriate. Sometimes emotions lead to domination of conversation, and questioning of others motives. Folks can have a tough time accepting views that do not match with their experience/biases. I dont anticipate that all members of the group including myself will acheive ideal at all times
I am willing to engage and put effort into discussions where I feel it is productive and others are being receptive. If I feel that the discussion is unproductive, I am inclined to withdraw.
My answer is an affirmative yes. We are all so different. I want to know how my peers think, and want to know how that compares to my own perspectives and understandings. Is there someone who thinks just like me?
I wonder how much persuasion and discourse can even happen in a world where many do not share the slightest premise about what is wrong/how to move forward.
I do believe that coming together and trying to be genuinely open to new ideas is an important aspect of discussion. What I won't be willing to do is stand by and watch someone use that space to harm others.
Yes. I am willing to engage in this type of discourse. I am concerned about the entire class' willingness to listen and engage, especially concerning arguments we may fundamentally disagree with.
I don't have any reservations about working towards an ideal discourse. It's a noble goal, and it's one that more people should work towards. I'm excited to give it a go.
I am willing to engage in ideal discourse. I think it can be difficult to get people to change engrained views, especially in a few hours or days. But I am willing to make the effort
