Last election season, we were drawn into a lively debates around dinner tables and in coffee houses because of the primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION

- Is it truly possible for one to remain impartial during the election season?
- More importantly, how does your worldview influence the way that you vote?
