Nowadays social issues and politics can be very polarizing. Many tend to view those who disagree with them as hateful or ignorant with lots of assumptions. 

Sociologist Ilana Redstone says the reason for this is because you’re probably certain of too much. She joins the 21st to talk about her new book called “The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More— and How We Can Judge Others Less.”
