This activity is created by CILMAR. It is inspired by and uses this article:

Green, E. (2019, Feb. 21). These are the Americans who live in a bubble. The Atlantic. Retrieved from  https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/02/americans-remain-deeply-ambivalent-about-diversity/583123/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=atlantic-daily-newsletter&utm_content=20190221&silverid-ref=MzEwMTU3MjkwODM5S0&fbclid=IwAR3vWHOQLe_BARtDg1Y8Vi2ol_V2RAjBvgoGPtPr6DTtPh0SaASonodD1Jo

Political difference is often a divisive issue and should be treated with care. The article emphasizes that people of all political backgrounds tend towards sameness, so it's important to remind the group of this in discussion. 

This activity is similar to the tool, "Auditing Your Personal Networks." They can also be used together.
