Dinner Table Dynamics: "Sour Grapes"

As we conclude the series Dinner Table Dynamics we hope that you have found useful and relatable conversations you can carry home with you for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and beyond. For our final episode, two Santa Fe College Ethics Bowl participants, husband and wife team, Paola and Brian talk about playful rivalries turned sour in Sour Grapes. The duo discuss labeling and mirroring tactics to bridge the divide between opposing views. How and why we identify with groups or "tribes" and how does that association relate to others that have differing loyalties?
