HAOC Meeting: The psychology of political Liberals & Conservatives

Lou Regal's presentation concerns the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives.

His talk will be based on several sources, but primarily The Righteous Mind by Jonathon Haidt. This book helps explain some of the conflicts and lack of compromise among our politicians and within other institutions. According to the author, the "conservatives" have a distinct advantage over the "liberals."

This will be a Power Point presentation.

Peter Anderson has suggested that people check out a “TED” talk on this issue. This can be found at the link,

Anderson thinks that this is good background material on Regal's talk.

As usual our program allows for a Q&A period following the presentation.
