I recently revisited a TED talk I watched about a year ago due to
another thread. Basically, the talk explores the differences in attitudes toward morality between liberals and conservatives, demonstrating that part of the reason these two groups seem to perpetually disagree is because they have fundamentally different attitudes about how to define what is moral. It's not terribly long - 20 minutes - and I definitely recommend it.
How does this make you feel?
What are your thoughts on the presentation?
How might this knowledge be applied to actual politics?
I also went to his website,
Your Morals.Org, and took the Moral Foundations Questionnaire. It requires registration, but I think it would be really interesting if others took the questionnaire and posted their scores here.
Mine:
Harm: 3.2
Fairness: 4.3
Loyalty: 1.3
Authority: 0.7
Purity: 0.2
