Hi TOK List,

  I thought this essay on marriage and the coronavirus was worthwhile.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/opinion/coronavirus-relationships.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_200317&campaign_id=2&instance_id=16829&segment_id=22299&user_id=8e4f03af2447d5adeb5069c9fb9bdf47&regi_id=352238940317

  It reminded me of a few things regarding taking others perspectives and holding multiple truths.

For example, it reminded me that I used to give a lecture on justification dynamics and filtering as part of a workshop on building multicultural competency. In it, I would set up the fact that my Dad was a history professor who studied George Washington and then discussed how different folks might view Washington. I then played this clip from Dave Chappelle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DmcdlyOUoM. The specific comment pops up at about 1 minute in, and I would share the first 90 seconds of the clip (with a warning about language 😊).

 It also reminded me of this blog I did on taking perspectives in romantic relationships:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/opinion/coronavirus-relationships.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_200317&campaign_id=2&instance_id=16829&segment_id=22299&user_id=8e4f03af2447d5adeb5069c9fb9bdf47&regi_id=352238940317

Finally, I thought this was a good article on how to “reframe” how during this crisis we might adjust in ways that are beneficial:

Take care to all!

Best,
Gregg
