Informed civil discourse is simply having an informed discussion with someone or a group about an issue or topic. It is incredibly important to utilize informed civil discourse in numerous situations because it keeps the discussion or debate fair and there is a shared mutual respect from both parties. Communication is key, especially in a government system, as all parts must be informed. It also creates a sense of trust because those who participate are respectful of each other.
I actually have participated in informed civil discourse a few times about the topic of racism and policing. I am a criminal justice major and have studied the medias influence on the claims of racism in the police force. I have spoken with a few people about this issue, and have shared the knowledge I have gained about the situation through school and personal research. I actually just had a conversation with someone about it not even an hour before writing this post! It makes it so much easier to share and hear other people’s point of view when each side is civil, informed about the situation, and willing to listen. By having a civil discussion about this issue, I believe that the truth of the matter will be spread, instead of hate and controversy.
