Critical Thinking and Media Literacy: Navigating in a Digital World
In the age of the internet and social media, we are constantly bombarded with an avalanche of news, opinions and data, often contradictory and misleading. Faced with this tide of information, critical thinking becomes an invaluable tool for navigating the digital landscape with clarity and discernment.
Critical thinking allows us to question, analyze and evaluate the information we find online in an objective and reflective manner. It helps us to identify manipulation and misinformation, as well as to distinguish between verifiable facts and personal opinions. We learn to look for reliable sources and to corroborate information before accepting it as true, avoiding falling into disinformation and propaganda traps.

What are the challenges and benefits of forgiving those who have caused us harm?
