Our use of social media often means we are only ever exposed to others who have similar views. We get our news from sources that agree with us, creating an echo chamber that narrows our horizons and separates us from people with opposing viewpoints. To counter this, a new video platform called The Perspective has emerged that encourages users to participate in live video debate with people outside their networks. Covering current events and classic debates, this platform provides a place to empathize with those on the other side of the fence.
