Help Build CivilSpeak – Make the World Better!
You’re not alone if you’ve noticed an increase in division and incivility throughout the world. You can help! CivilSpeak is based on the philosophy that people expand their capacity to embrace diversity, promote civility, and gain confidence in their future when they are informed and able to understand one another. Below are some specific problems CivilSpeak is built to help remedy.
Clear up Discord Pollution
There are many industries that legally operate locally and globally that profit from discord. Promoting discord is common in many industries such as politics and entertainment journalism. Although polarizing campaign advertisements motivate voters and divisive editorials perpetuate loyal viewers, they also have a destructive affect on society. Regardless of your political beliefs or views on certain issues, we can all benefit from cleaning up the discord pollution that is all around us. CivilSpeak provides a non-bias platform that enables all users the ability to share and promote perspectives and ideas effectively, safely and with civility. With a unique blend of crowd sourcing, machine learning and user experience techniques, your voice will become more effective, and your understanding of differing views will also broaden.
No More Squandering Good Ideas
Have you ever had a burst of inspiration – an amazing idea that could solve a big problem, and yet there was no one to share it with? The irony of being one among 8 billion people on this planet is that we can often feel isolated – since we are just one voice among billions. One of the main features of CivilSpeak, is that it intelligently congeals common perspectives and ideas among the masses. In addition, CivilSpeak also identifies new ideas and perspectives and bounces them off of other users who review and actively promote based on the interest it generates. Although you are one among billions of people, you no longer need to shout to be heard and to make a difference. Today, the growing isolation we experience in our society fosters a feeling of oppression and indifference; however with CivilSpeak, we finally can provide humanity with the tools needed to connect and be heard.
Dispel Misinformation & Disinformation
Misinformation and disinformation is often intentional and a common practice used to manipulate others through coordinated campaigns. In many cases, the results of these campaigns can be catastrophic for individuals and communities. CivilSpeak is designed to allow communities to build reasoning and fact frames to support their perspectives. These facts can then be vetted through a fact-check marketplace – where professional fact checkers offer their services and will publish their detailed findings in a standardized format for all CivilSpeak users to benefit. Where deception is now common, you and others will have the ability to officially establish what is fact and what is fiction.
Narrow the Growing Trust Gap
There is a growing distrust with our neighbors, our news sources and our leadership. The main cause for this gap of trust is due to a lack of real genuine human connection. With CivilSpeak, personal experiences and emotional mapping helps others understand the human impact that certain issues have on each other. It is unfortunately a common practice with humanity to demonize or write off those with an opposing view because we cannot accept that a rational person would think or feel differently than us. However, providing this feature allows individuals and communities to share their feelings and experiences in a way that most people will be able to understand and relate to – building empathy, mutual understanding and closing the Trust Gap.
