Civic reflection... does something extremely important -- it cultivates a habit of mind and communication that increases the capacity of regular participants to be able to identify, articulate, and address the complex problems that are so common in our life and work. It helps people think outside the box, it pushes people from their ruts, it reminds people that their point of view is not the only legitimate point of view.
