Jill Stien

The statement and accompanying image are part of a campaign to encourage a political debate involving Jill Stein with other prominent political figures. The tone is provocative and uses metaphorical language ('chickens') to suggest that the other politicians are avoiding debate out of fear or reluctance. The image visually represents this metaphor by depicting the politicians' heads on the bodies of chickens.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement may indirectly cause harm by using derogatory imagery and language, which could diminish the quality of public discourse. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The use of animal imagery to represent political figures does not respect the dignity of the individuals involved, potentially reducing the respectfulness of the discourse. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement uses humor and metaphor to convey its message, which could be seen as an attempt to engage viewers, but it might lack the empathy and compassion necessary for constructive political dialogue.
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   While the statement aims to initiate a debate, the approach may not effectively promote understanding or constructive dialogue due to its mocking tone. [-1]
5. Principle 5:

   I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.

   The campaign is clear in its call to action, though it could be more effective in fostering dialogue by adopting a more respectful tone.
6. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The use of provocative imagery and language might not be using influence in the most positive way to better society, as it could polarize rather than unite. [-1]
7. Principle 7:

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement upholds the principle of free speech but may not use this freedom with the utmost responsibility and integrity, given the potentially divisive imagery and language.
