"Civil discourse is about listening to and acknowledging someone else's point of view. The goal is to talk, not to agree, experts said."
"Cassandra Dahnke, co-founder of the Institute for Civility, a nonpartisan nonprofit, said her organization defines civility as 'claiming and caring for one's identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else's in the process.'"
"Strong civility, on the other hand, is characterized by the recognition and respect of differences, by open dialogue with the goal to understand each other (not necessarily to persuade), and by active listening," Lambe said.
"Kathryn Joyce, director of the Civil Discourse for Citizenship program at Ohio State University's Center for Ethics and Human Values, advised people to think about civil discourse as an opportunity to explore a particular topic with others."
