In a world where disagreements often lead to hate and contempt, Spencer J. Cox, the Republican governor of Utah, believes it is still possible to have respectful disagreements. He shares the story of a viral campaign ad created with his Democratic opponent in 2020 as an example of this belief in action. Cox offers four practical steps we can all take to mend the divisions in our societies and communities, showing that it is possible to disagree without resorting to animosity or hostility. By embracing this approach, we can work towards creating a more harmonious and understanding world for everyone to thrive in. Let us strive to engage in discussions and debates with respect and civility, even when our opinions differ greatly.
