PHIL 101B PT - Critical Thinking & Popular Culture

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

In this course we will develop and strengthen skills required to identify, construct and evaluate arguments. We will investigate the nature of evidence and logical relations between claims. We will cultivate and internalize standards of critical thinking practice and build an understanding and appreciation for open-minded, ongoing dialogue that seeks truth. These goals will be incorporated into a critical examination of popular culture. We will seek to understand what is popular culture, how it influences us in how we view ourselves and others. We will evaluate the forces that shape popular culture, and our critical, and non-critical, responses to those forces.

Prerequisite(s): None.
