Social Psychologist Ted talk on moral roots of liberals and conservatives

[marylandblue]

Jonathan Haidt has done a lot of research in moral psychology and politics. He identified the basic inborn categories of moral thinking we all share, but liberals and conservatives weight them differently. His work is a great resource for anyone who wants to understand the other side better, or for that matter our side too. If you want to think all conservatives are racists, this might not be for you. 18 1/2 minutes.

This is from 2008, but still applies and he continues speak about current topics.

Just listened to this interesting podcast on Hidden Brain (NPR) on same topic. Thought it was illuminating!
