"The main thing I got out of this book is to be aware of, and avoid, polarizing views on an issue. Simplistic "pro" and "con" approaches lead to seemingly irresolvable conflict and usually do not reflect the full complexity of issues. A better approach is to search for common values, brainstorm for creative solutions, and find ways to address the underlying problem.
For example, instead of getting caught in the "pro-life"/"pro-choice" rhetoric, a national organization called "Search for Common Ground" has activists on both sides of the issue working "together for common goals such as reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in the first place." (p.66) I am reminded of one of my favorite bumper stickers: "Against abortion? Promote birth control!""
