Show Notes

Political disagreement is nothing new in the United States. The Founding Fathers certainly didn't see eye-to-eye at all times when they were drafting documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But their disagreements always gave way to compromise, a pattern that helped develop the country we know today.

In recent years, however, political disagreement seems to have reached new heights, and some argue the great American tradition of compromise has been replaced by contempt. Our panel examines the impact political polarization is having on our country. What explains the rise in political violence? Why is rhetoric more heated than ever? And is there still room for dignity in politics?

In this episode, host Jason Perry is joined by Tim Shriver — founder of The Dignity Index, Natalie Gochnour — director of the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah, and Boyd Matheson — host of "Sunday Edition" on KSL 5 TV.
