Thinking Critically about the Media and Science
In our concluding forum, we will examine critical thinking in relation to the media and science. Discuss how to critically analyze media sources, the impact of advertising, and the concept of media literacy. Share your thoughts on the differences between scientific reasoning and pseudoscience, using astrology as a case study. Reflect on the importance of rigorous evaluation when distinguishing credible science from pseudoscientific claims.
