The vast and growing gap between liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats – is a defining feature of American politics today.
When it comes to getting news about politics and government, liberals and conservatives inhabit different worlds. There is little overlap in the news sources they turn to and trust. And whether discussing politics online or with friends, they are more likely than others to interact with like-minded individuals, according to a new Pew Research Center study.
Let's read a couple of political articles as a group and then discuss them, as well as the news media, social media and the way people talk about politics with friends and family.

Impro is ostensibly a book about improvisation and the theater. Depending on where you are coming from, it might be no more than that, or it might be a near-religious experience. – vkr
Let's try some improv exercises based on Keith Johnstone's excellent book.
In this exercise, you will meet new people, learn a bit about one another, and then read and discuss two controversial articles together.

In the Aron et al. (1997) experiment, pairs of individuals, over the course of 45 minutes, carried out self-disclosure and relationship building tasks that gradually increased in intensity. A common misconception is that the goal was to create a long-lasting relationship between the individuals in the study, but rather it was to create a temporary feeling of closeness.
Let's try a couple of questions that with your group. Then we can read some articles together and discuss them.
