Critical Thinking and Manipulation Defence
The programme teaches you to verify claims instead of believing them. You will master argument structure and common logical fallacies, examine cognitive biases and how sellers, politicians and media exploit them. Dedicated blocks cover source work and fact-checking, reading statistics and charts, assessing risks and probabilities, and recognising manipulative techniques in negotiations and advertising. You will learn to base decisions on verifiable grounds, separate observation from interpretation, and hold an intellectually honest argument without turning it into a conflict.
