Our Shared Reality is Broken

A shared sense of reality is the idea that a person is confident within their own sense of self and their social relationships around them. When this reality is shared humankind is cohesive, but when it is disrupted, is when we have groups of different people believing different sides of one true fact. This happens when our society is not prepared to acknowledge and disregard misinformation in the media. Instead, people take what they hear at face value which creates unrest and mistrust among the masses. “…and we agree, believing that a shared reality is necessary for membership in the community of values that defines America. America cannot act with unity or purpose, globally or domestically, if it is a “house divided” against itself.”
