In this age of polarized politics and antagonism-as-agenda, the ways in which we understand the world and engage in constructive dialogue affects how we think, feel and behave. Begin with a refresher in critical thinking (logic) and move to a comprehensive analysis of the ever changing media environment. Discuss how to evaluate messages, including such topics as irrational techniques and the misappropriation of statistics. Key issues of students’ interests will also be examined.
