Psychology and Political Framing

Tom Bergstrom

March 15, 2015

Humanist Community member and Board member Tom Bergstrom will present an overview of how conservatives and liberals think. This information is based on Professor George Lakoff’s writings (e.g., The Political Mind) and videos. Learning how people frame their beliefs helps others learn how to speak to and work with those different world views. Political framing unfortunately can allow selfish political groups to train voters to vote against their best interests. Thus, the goal of this Forum is to help liberals work with conservatives, and to learn how to successfully frame liberal views.
