The best 4 questions for the 4th of July

In partnership with

America the Beautiful.

It feels like there has never been more discord and confusion for the country.

Confusion is an opportunity to search for clarity.

Here are 4 questions to ask at your 4th of July get-together for maximum conversation

Memories: What's your favorite Fourth of July memory from when you were a kid?

Fantasies: If you could have been present for any moment in American history, which would you choose and why?

Philosophies: What do you think the founders got most right about human nature?

Possibilities: If you could add one amendment to the Constitution today, what would it be?

These aren't meant to start debates—they're designed to get people thinking and sharing stories instead of arguing talking points.

Sometimes the best way to celebrate America is to remember why we're all here in the first place.

Happy 4th.

P.S. Pro tip: Start with Memories. Everyone has a story, and stories connect us before ideas divide us.
