Breaking The Deadlock

Americans seem to have forgotten how to have a public dialog about challenging topics without it devolving into acrimony and shouting, without it defaulting into a simple "yes" versus "no," right versus wrong framework. A Deadlock. But research shows that audiences are exhausted by the win-lose model. They want discussions that work toward common ground in finding real world solutions. Deadlock, offers an alternative to that. This is a panel show featuring a talented moderator and 10 to 12 smart, thoughtful panelists with a wide variety of backgrounds and points of view. But in this program, there are no ad hominem attacks, no 'point-scoring', no posturing. Here the focus is on constructive conversation. In Deadlock, our moderator, Aaron Tang, Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis, will present the panel with a hypothetical scenario based on real life situations to pull participants and the audience into interesting, substantive, challenging, and humanizing conversations about key issues facing us as Americans.
