Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Better Arguments 101
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
Join us for a one-hour introduction to the Better Arguments Project, a national civic initiative created to help bridge divides – not by papering over those divides but by helping Americans have Better Arguments. Together, we will reflect on the role of arguments in healthy democracy and we will introduce the 3 dimensions and 5 Principles of a Better Argument. If you are new to the Better Arguments Project, this session is a perfect way to get started.
The Better Arguments Project is a partnership between the Aspen Institute Citizenship and American Identity Program, Facing History and Ourselves, and Allstate.Join us for a one-hour introduction to the Better Arguments Project, a national civic initiative created to help bridge divides – not by papering over those divides but by helping Americans have Better Arguments.
