“I think America’s strange, in that Americans are always told that there are only two sides to sides to every story, two sides to every debate, two sides to every argument. And I am vehemently opposed to that idea . . . If you only have two choices, people are always going to make one of two choices. Which means people are automatically going to be against each other . . . Nuance doesn’t sell as well in America. Nuance means you can’t just take a stand and fight the other person. Nuance means we have to talk a little bit more. And until the American political system can find a way to represent the nuance that exists within America, you are going to create this false impression that there is This or That . . . no, no, no, no, no . . . [Because life really is grey].”- Trevor Noah,

Part of the reason nuance may be ignored by some is because it is simpler to do just that – ignore it. It’s not easy to have a critically considered conversation about topics with substance. It’s also not easy to present a complex idea to the public AND help them to truly understand it. Communicating clearly, leading well to abide by those you are leading, is hard.

There is a reason leaders who don’t want their followers to think for themselves, simplify complex policies and ideologies to an either/or choice: they do not want them to think about it because if they do, they may realize the leader’s approach is destructive to the larger good as the issue is far from simple and quite complex. All the more reason to make sure we each are critical thinkers, thinking for ourselves, keeping an open mind, examining multiple credible sources and asking effective questions.
-----------------

As justification for Critical Thinking and Nuance, I offer the debate on "Abortion"...while only a small fraction of our population wants it to be banned under all circumstances, the vast majority of Americans understand that "Certain Circumstances"...i.e. "Nuances"... Justify its legality. Consequently, politicians have co-opted the issue for political gain as a Binary, and not nuanced, issue.
