Imagine a debate where candidates engage respectfully, without mocking or interrupting each other. Following a notable classroom rule can push debates towards civility and focus on important issues.
Cognitive science indicates that humans are conditioned to judge appearances quickly. This instinct, while rooted in survival, obscures the real issues, such as policies and qualifications, during debates.
The proposed '30-second rule' could help redirect debates away from personal attacks, encouraging candidates to focus more on policies while modeling respectful discourse that voters can emulate.
By implementing this approach, candidates would not only elevate the debate experience but also promote a culture of civility in the political landscape, benefiting society as a whole.
