Using Multivariate Statistics

Course Description In this course, we will explore the question of the actual and potential connections between democracy and education. Our focus of attention will be placed on a critical examination of democratic theory and its implications for the civic education roles and contributions of teachers, adult educators, community development practitioners, and community organizers. We will survey and deal critically with a range of competing conceptions of democracy, variously described as classical, republican, liberal, radical, marxist, neomarxist, pragmatist, feminist, populist, pluralist, postmodern, and/or participatory. Using narrative inquiry as a means for illuminating and interpreting contemporary practice, we will analyze the implications of different conceptions of democracy for the practical work of civic education.

Democracy and education.

Human beings are described by many spiritual traditions as ‘blind’ or ‘asleep’ or ‘in a dream.’ These terms refers to the limited attenuated state of consciousness of most human beings caught up in patterns of conditioned thought, feeling and perception, which prevent the development of our latent, higher spiritual possibilities. In the words of Idries Shah: “Man, like a sleepwalker who suddenly ‘comes to’ on some lonely road has in general no correct idea as to his origins or his destiny.” In some religious traditions, such as Christianity and Islam, the myth of the ‘Fall from the Garden of Eden’ symbolizes the loss of the primordial state through the veiling of higher consciousness. Other traditions use similar metaphors to describe the spiritual condition of humanity:

The Human Condition.

Politeness: some universals in language usage

This chapter introduces the topic of incivility, exploring its role in a variety of contexts, including workplace bullying, attacks on female gamers, and the 2016 presidential election. The roots of incivility are addressed, along with the casualties of incivility, which can harm people’s self-esteem and relationships or chill public debate. This overview shows how incivility has seeped into almost all aspects of human life. This sets the stage for the main focus of this book, which is how online incivility in news site comment streams influences public debate and political participation. This chapter provides a roadmap for the rest of the book and argues that comment streams have the potential to offer the type of discussions across disagreement vital in a democracy.

Introduction: Incivility in Today’s World

When people comment online about important topics, they offer the potential to engage in a deliberative discussion, but they also may become uncivil. People must care deeply about a topic to deliberate about it, but those strong feelings also may lead to uncivil speech when they are confronted with a counter viewpoint. This chapter proposes a conceptual model of how incivility and deliberation—or at least “deliberative moments”—may co-occur in comment streams. I argue that some types of uncivil speech are so virulent that they prevent quality debate. However, less severe forms of incivility may still allow for a vigorous discussion, rooted in reason, bolstered by evidence, and open to disagreement. This chapter also proposes a plan to test this model.

Can Incivility and Deliberation Co-exist?

This chapter analyzes 3508 user-generated news site comments to answer one of the over-arching questions of this book: Can incivility and deliberation co-exist in news site comment streams? Findings show that aspects of public deliberation, such as using evidence to support one’s point or asking legitimate questions, were present in 25.9% of comments. In contrast, uncivil attributes—profanity, name-calling, and hate speech—were present in 17.8% of comments. Results suggest strongly that incivility and deliberation can overlap in comments streams, particularly when the incivility is less virulent. Overall, results point to cautious optimism for the potential for deliberative debate in comment streams.

Analyzing Comments in the News

This chapter answers the main questions of this book: Can online comment streams on news websites ever foster the robust and important public debate that democracy requires? What influence does incivility in these streams have on political participation and the larger public discussion about issues of the day? It also synthesizes the main findings and explains what they mean for the potential of commenting streams to be a space of public deliberation. Finally, this chapter suggests strongly that comment streams are too vital to be abandoned and offers concrete strategies for improving them.
