Discussing Controversial Issues, No. 3: Understanding Different Points of View

Emphasizes the importance, when discussing differing points of view, for participants to give reasons for their arguments as well as to ask for clarification and reasons from others if something is unclear. Stresses the moderator's responsibility to state areas of agreement or disagreement or, at times, to ask for temporary agreements. Identifies these situations by focusing on a student group discussion.
