How do you overcome the negative effects of group polarization when there are very divided viewpoints on what’s right?
Should we continue to have national political debates during elections?
How would you recommend continuing the discussion or debate without the negative effects of group polarization?

What criteria should one use to determine whether a decision-making process is of high quality or not?
Given all these criteria, which criterion do you believe is the hardest to achieve when trying to implement a significant social regulation that impacts the larger population (e.g., health care regulation change)?
Substantiate your opinion and include a supporting theory or concepts from the reading.
Does power corrupt? Defend your answer. Provide a recent example in the news that justifies your argument. Substantiate your opinion and include a supporting theory or concepts from the textbook.
