Fundamentals

I think there are some very fundamental differences in the perspective of people in this county.  It is important to recognize that others have a different set of basic values, which drives their lives and decisions.  I was thinking about what the questions would gleam those differences.

Do you think it is your obligation to help those who have less?  Does it matter if those people are in your family, are your religion, are your race, are in your state, or are Americans?

Do you feel that people who who disagree with you are bad?

Who do you trust?  The media, religious leaders, scripture, experts, friends, family, etc?

How important is faith to you?  If your religious perspective differs from the perspectives of "experts" in an area, what do you do?

Of the groups that disagree with your perspective the most, how many of those people do you know very well?  (Muslims, evangelicals, homosexuals, atheists, socialists, transgender, white supremacists, black lives matters supporters, liberals, undocumented immigrants, farmers, bankers, etc)

How to you feel about the next 50 years?  Optimistic, fearful, curious?

What are the questions that you would ask?
