" in a world of abusive talk-show hosts, misogynistic rap groups and earphone-encased teen-agers. Habermas continues to believe that somewhere behind the better of our attempts to communicate with each other, there have to be some shared values, shared respect and acknowledged equality."
I think this is the only part that sticks out because I understand it the most... I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to the subject of politics. So most of the time spent reading this article was looking up words and and trying to get an understanding
When it comes to communication...I think we are actually sinking. With all of the technology and people getting around the face to face communication are skills are actually becoming more inadequate. We can take the aspect of getting to know someone as a friend or romantically, I have noticed for a lot of people instead of going out or even just calling on the phone, people are communicating via text. Asking all the important questions over the text instead of face to face or even on the phone. Communication now days is so different even when I was growing up. Most business meetings are done over the phone or they have some type of device that connects everyone together. There is no coming into the office and meeting with the boss and the other employers anymore. There seems to be a shortcut to everything now. Also another example kids do not know how to write papers anymore they are putting their text messaging slang into their school work which I find it to be a issue.
It seems like Habermas view is a bit far fetched but who am I to say anything can happen.
