Agree

Yes, provide trigger warnings but students do not need safe spaces

This answer might be slightly more aligned with democratic ideals because it suggests a compromise. Providing trigger warnings respects the need for emotional and psychological safety, acknowledging that some content might be distressing, while still encouraging exposure to challenging ideas without the necessity of retreating to a safe space. It balances the need for free speech and protection from harm.

Slightly agree

Yes

The ideology of democracy emphasizes freedom of expression and the importance of diverse viewpoints, which could support the idea of trigger warnings and safe spaces as means to ensure all students feel comfortable participating in academic discussions. However, democracy also values robust debate and the challenging of ideas, which might be seen as being limited by too stringent use of trigger warnings and safe spaces.

Neutral

No

While democracy values the free exchange of ideas and might see the refusal to provide trigger warnings and safe spaces as a way to encourage resilience and exposure to diverse viewpoints, it also recognizes the importance of inclusivity and ensuring that all members of a community feel safe and valued. The balance between these principles makes this a neutral stance.

Slightly disagree

Yes, provide safe spaces but students do not need trigger warnings

Democracy's emphasis on debate, discussion, and the challenging of ideas might be seen as being somewhat at odds with the concept of safe spaces if those spaces are used to avoid exposure to differing viewpoints. However, the support for individual rights and protections could justify their existence, albeit less strongly than support for trigger warnings.
