Some topics go hand in hand with controversy.
People disagree because of differences in their value systems, in what they accept as factually correct, in what they have been exposed to, or in what their ultimate goals are. In this imperfect world, it is useful to expose future adults to such differences and to give them practice in resolving them. Consensus building tasks attempt to do that. The essence of a consensus building task is the requirement that differing viewpoints be articulated, considered, and accommodated where possible. For better or worse, current events and recent history provide many opportunities for practice.
