According to Heinrichs, political arguments are typically split into two sides: morality and the advantageous. He says that long term the advantageous is the one to win more often than morality.

When one thinks of the most evil and powerful person through history, one often thinks of Adolf Hitler. However, most of the feats accomplished by Hitler would have been impossible without the help of his lesser known right-hand man, Heinrich Himmler. Deemed “the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), he helped Hitler carry out his brutal genocide of the Jewish religion. Heinrich Himmler played an extremely important role in the Holocaust.
The Nazi Germany envisioned that the population under its control, and future generations, would have absolute loyalty to Adolf Hitler, the administration, and Nazi standards. In order to accomplish this ambition, comprehensive indoctrination of the youth into Nazi ideology was a priority, and the youth of Nazi Germany were a particular emphasis of the Nazi administration’s propaganda (The National Holocaust Centre & Museum, Paragraph 1). In the novel “All the Light We Cannot See”, by Anthony Doerr, an issue of indoctrinating the youth has been introduced in the novel. Since the 1920s, the Nazi German Party has targeted the German youth as a special audience for its propaganda of messages.
In an earlier paper Haidt and Graham(2007) found that for extreme liberals, Harm / Care and Fairness / Reciprocity where almost always relivent, however those who are extremely conservative find that they value all five more equally when making moral choice. This correlates almost perfectly with the earlier paper from Graham, Haidt and Nosek(2009), showing that the findings seem highly reliable. Haidt and Graham(2007) go on to say that the recognition of the final three moral foundations(Ingroup / Loyalty, Authority / Respect and Purity / Sanctity) is key to allowing more fair and even discussions between the two political standpoints.
We live in a world blanketed by the darkness of ignorance. Instead of blindly searching for the black or white answers, we must defeat the enemy by moving toward common ground. Currently in politics, we see the negative effect of polarization as the presidential campaign has become candidate centered rather than issue centered. We see the candidates resort to bully-like tactics where they attack each other personally, rather than focusing on the issues at hand. While it is said that polarity is an integral part of nature, we need our differences to bring us together as a whole, rather than drive us apart. Polarization is inevitable due to the unique design of every individual, but issues are seen as either black or white, when really

Let’s begin with abortion because it is one of the most controversial topics related to reproductive health. The two sides are obviously pro-choice and pro-life but the way that they are presented and named have some weight to each side. The pro-choice side seems like an inclusive and positive way to talk about your rights, because you can choose what you believe is best for you. Then when we look at pro-life, it says that life is the only option and if you are against it, then you are bad. Protestors against abortion often have signs saying baby killers, focusing on the negative side of a decision that is not theirs’ to speak on. In the essay The Only Good Abortion is My Abortion, the author speaks about how the choice to get an abortion is
