You believe in finding a balanced approach to policy-making that incorporates the best ideas from both the left and the right, promoting stability and compromise.
Centrism is a political ideology that advocates for a balanced approach to policy-making, drawing upon ideas from both the left and the right of the political spectrum. Centrists often seek to promote moderate policies that avoid the perceived extremes of left-wing and right-wing ideologies. They typically emphasize practical solutions over ideological purity, and they may support a mix of progressive and conservative policies depending on the issue at hand.
The history of centrism is complex and varies across different countries and political systems. However, it is generally associa…

How do you think a balance between screen time and other activities could improve your daily life?
@9JFJRXP 2yrs2Y
There's always a perfect balance you have to strike with all things new and the truth people have to realize is you can't do everything in your life so make every decision with as much though as a move in professional chess.
@9JDCFVC2yrs2Y
I think it could improve your life by making people be more succesful and fit.
@9JDCK252yrs2Y
Screen time can prevent you from seeing new things. While other activities can help you see new things.
@9JDCDSZ2yrs2Y
The balance might greatly affect me in a certain manner. If I do more screen time than other activities, I might not be able to do anything to help my community. If it’s the other way around, I could be willing to help my community for the greater good.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When facing a complex moral issue, how does understanding multiple perspectives help shape your judgment?
I enjoy learning from different perspectives and then deciding for myself what I want to choose.
@9KTDPNJWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Understanding multiple perspectives allows you to make the best decisions for the people.
@9KTDT8GIndependent2yrs2Y
it helps show all the issues that we are looking at and we can combine all of our solution's just to help see the bigger issue.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Imagine a world where all leaders are centrists; do you see it as a peaceful utopia or a stagnant society?
@9HGJYBJ2yrs2Y
Stagnant society. No war, may mean no change. No change, no positives or negatives. We may die out as a result of this viewpoint.
@9HGJRNY2yrs2Y
A mix of both it has flaws and it has its none flaws
@9HGJQJB2yrs2Y
I'm not sure because it hasn't happened so I can't imagine what the outcome would be.
@9HGJZ962yrs2Y
I don't know what centrism is, so I am unable to give a accurate answer.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When encountering a new idea, do you consciously try to understand both its pros and cons before forming an opinion?
@9HXDKMCIndependent 2yrs2Y
yes because its important to consider all aspects of a topic in order to have a true informed opinion
@9HY9WQD2yrs2Y
I think there are multiple arguments that I feel like this such as arguments with religion, gay marriage, abortion and more.
@9HXD3V9Independent2yrs2Y
Yes I try to consciously understand both it’s pros and cons before forming an opinion.
@9HXFTKN2yrs2Y
Yes I do but sometimes certain topics do make you lean more towards one side
@9HXD4SW2yrs2Y
Yes before forming any opinion i like to look at the pros and cons first
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is a centrist approach in politics capable of fostering innovation, or does it inherently favor the status quo?
@9H86DPQ 2yrs2Y
Centrism seems like a smart approach to politics because it sees both sides arguments.
@9H85SLF2yrs2Y
Centrism allows both parties to negotiate what is better for both of them. We will always have somebody mad when we make decisions, but it's better for everyone to be heard and have a say in the matter.
@9H84WPK2yrs2Y
Centrists provide nothing to a political discussion besides playing devils advocate
@9H87J9C2yrs2Y
Centrism promotes government stability, and enactment of common-sense, bipartisan legislation into law. Centrism can be compatible with innovation as innovation is not inherently partisan, and stability of the central/national government can facilitate experimentation with innovative ideas at the state, and local levels and in the private sector.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
From your experience, does aiming for balance in a group project lead to better or worse results?
@9HG26PL2yrs2Y
Yes. There has to be a singular guiding principle at work, rather than everyone taking something from one another. That is all well and good, but if it comes at the cost of the guiding principle it must be stopped.
@9HFY65K2yrs2Y
worse, there needs to be a hirearchy in order to get things done.
@9HGK9N62yrs2Y
It all depends on how the balance is achieved and if all are really in agreement.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might considering different viewpoints lead to a more fulfilling personal relationship with your peers?
@9L3546SIndependence1yr1Y
Because you will see something from all angles and not just yours.
@9L34QPG1yr1Y
By allowing yourself to see someone else's side, it becomes easier to find a middle ground and work towards a solution. When someone is unable to put their belief aside for a moment no progress can happen.
Seeing different perspectives can help you see what your friends see.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you ever find yourself torn between friends' opposing views; how do you handle it?
@9HG7LFBIndependent2yrs2Y
I do find myself in a position where me and my friends have opposing views, I try to remember that we all have different life experiences that cause us to view things differently. At the end of the day however I can still love people even if we don't agree.
@9HG75H82yrs2Y
I have my own opinion I’d see both sides and if I can’t decide between 2 I walk out
@9HG72P62yrs2Y
I ignore them and tell them my opinion matters to myself

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Could centrism be the key to overcoming a common challenge at our school, like student council elections or fundraising?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways do you think balance in media consumption might influence your views on current events?
@9L4W4N71yr1Y
I think the media pushes many people to either the far right or far left, I think that something needs to be done with the algorithms to decrease it.
Centrism in America more often than not is just a form of cowardice. To be a true centrist, you have to not care. For example, if you're neutral on the stance of free education, than you aren't actually providing any real substance.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways do you believe the principle 'everything in moderation' could apply to our use of technology?
It could be used because people are constantly using and consuming media to where most people can't go for at least a week without seeing some form of media.
@9KDR53P2yrs2Y
I think we do need to limit technology, especially at younger ages. Particularly during the ages of 0-8 as those ages are the developing ages, and bad habits can be started there. Then some limitations for the rest of the minors sounds good too as social media has a huge impact on young kids causing lots of body image issues as well as self-esteem issues.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would society change if social media platforms promoted centrist views more than polarizing ones?
@9HTZQX42yrs2Y
I think it would help with a divide, not fully, but i think people have more in common and polarized ideas lead to misinformation and propaganda
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When confronted with a school challenge, how does drawing from diverse strategies help find effective solutions?
@9L5CNHF1yr1Y
centrism helps find more effective solutions by cutting off all the excessive punishments and trying to form a more suitable punshment that still teaches lessons
it helps as it makes us learn new ways to solve problems and in the process is revolutionizes our people and country.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think being a centrist makes someone a better listener, considering they value multiple perspectives?
@9HGV5Q92yrs2Y
It's possible, but in most cases, "centrists" are really just right-wingers trying to appear more agreeable. In practice, these people will actually just call anything left-wing "radical".
@9HG8Y4H2yrs2Y
yes, i do think it can make some one a better listener as they have to listen to all sides of a story.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you had to debate a controversial topic at school, would you prefer centrist arguments, and if so, why?
No, centrism is cowardice. There is no middle ground in the face of injustice. There is right and wrong. I’m not religious, but even the Bible is critical of those who are “lukewarm.” Centrism is a way to avoid taking any real stance.
This is because it is necessary to recall the basic attitude that nothing is equally superior to anything else and logically criticize centralism.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think a school policy crafted with input from all student groups would differ from one made by just a few?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the ideology of centrism be beneficial in negotiating peace among countries in conflict?
Compromise is necessary to find any true progress. If there is no common ground, nothing will truly change
@9J5BFTK2yrs2Y
because typically people are radical in their beliefs and therefore a moderate approach can provide a failsafe for politics because as seen throughout history disagreements often lead to violence
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When has listening to a wide range of musical genres, reading different literary styles, or viewing various art forms given you a more well-rounded appreciation for creativity?
Doing these things has opened my mind and when I do these things I feel more like myself.
@9LHT7LRRepublican1yr1Y
it gives people more ideas and respect and let's them build a community to help others or spread there opinion
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways does incorporating feedback from all team members impact the outcome of a project or assignment?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Are there areas in personal relationships where centrism might be the key to harmony?
@9HGH4G2Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
Yes, but yet agian that is up to the individual it should not be a topic dicided on by society but rather a personal choice.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What would a centrist approach to tackling the issues of online privacy and security look like?
@9HV9CMQWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Make sure that the websites are safe so that info doesn't get out in the wrong.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways could incorporating diverse techniques improve outcomes in sports, music, or other performance activities?
@9KDR53P2yrs2Y
Incorporating diversity should be done not as a political device but as a personal one. I like seeing more diverse media and the easiest way to show it make sure you're doing it right, and not just because 'we were required to'.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever been in a situation where neither 'yes' nor 'no' was the right answer and a compromise was better?
@9KF964V2yrs2Y
yes, it is better to woke it out with someone who has different thinking than you and you guys could come up with something new.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does a club or team benefit from incorporating a variety of viewpoints when making decisions?
@9LBZ5DB1yr1Y
A team benefits by looking at multiple perspectives because it gives them a variety to brainstorm the best benefits and least consequences before making a final decision.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might a centrist approach to planning school events ensure inclusivity and widespread enjoyment?
@9KND6XP2yrs2Y
I feel that political parties should not matter when it comes to school events. In the education system the safety and the enjoyment of the children should be prioritized.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might a willingness to explore the middle ground benefit personal relationships, like friendships or partnerships?
@9KN4GG7Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
It benefits by the people in the relationships being more fair and working well together.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think centrism impacts the representation of minority or extreme viewpoints within a democracy?
@9H7XLDLWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Supporting democracy not only promotes such fundamental American values as religious freedom and worker rights, but also helps create a more secure, stable, and safe environment.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you find it more effective to follow one ideology strictly or to adapt based on different issues in your personal life?
@9LGNKT41yr1Y
Adaptation is very important but so is having core values that you stand by. An individual with no values stands by in all cases of injustice. Someone who refuses to change their opinion will never acknowledge the failures and shortcomings of their leadership
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways do you think a balanced diet compares to the idea of political balance in centrism?
@9KPP6MC2yrs2Y
Centrism in the united states doesn't functionally exist. We have a moderate right party, and a far right party, and a central position between them is still just right-wing.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you imagine a world where political decisions are made through consensus; would it be less divisive?
@9JRWLJS2yrs2Y
I think it would be better if political decisions could be made through consensus especially if it is a practical solution that would work well.
