100 Days in the News:day thirty-three project: How Much Political Conversation I can Tolerate with Family
Welcome to day 33 of the 100 Days in the news project. For 67 more days I will be pulling news stories from my Google reader and making artwork about it!
Today’s inspiration is:
from Psychology Today:
Okay. The holidays are approaching. So is the election. In my family these things mean total conversation meltdown. I live in a city and am an artist, my parents live in the country in bible belt USA.
Yes, can you beleive it? We disagree.
The trouble is though, we really do like to debate and try to prove one another wrong. Every now and then we actually manage to learn something from one another and these are golden moments. In an effort to keep the peace I’m mailing the chart below to my family. We want to talk about some level of politics- maybe we can just steer the subject matter a bit and be forewarned if we tread into the areas I can’t stand to talk about with them.
Note: “Women” covers everything from women’s roles in politics to women’s rights
