This Ted Talk made us think of many Civic Mirror countries and the political problems they experienced as well – can democracy exist without trust? While just a simulation, the number of CM fascist coups in 2011/12 was record breaking. Was a lack of trust always at the core of democratic breakdown? What could prevent this? Check out the video, very powerful.
What People are Saying
The Civic Mirror is an amazing tool for students. Through the simulation, our class has not only learned more about our political system, but also about ourselves as students and citizens. It’s brought our class together and got us talking about important issues in our country and in our world and what we can do to change them. I would recommend this program to colleges everywhere.
