Episode 29: Learning to Respect One Another and to Stop Justifying Bad Behavior

Chatting With My Amigas

We live in a world of many conflicting beliefs and opinions, and unfortunately there is a trend toward giving the loudest voices in the room precedence over the rest. In today's conversation between the Four Amigas, we unpack some of the issues we have with intolerance in today's society. We see these problems arising in all areas of modern life, whether we are in the workplace, at schools, or attending family gatherings, creating an unsafe and unaccepting atmosphere for many people. With so many hot-button political issues and the prevalence of social media in our lives, it can be hard to escape the judgment of others and the cruel ways that different stances can lead to being discounted. To hear us talk about how this relates to important subjects such as abortion laws and freedom of religion, and how we can begin to have more respect and space for different opinions and belief systems, tune in today!
