Produktbeschreibung
D. Michael Rivage-Seul's eye-opening new book, The Magic Glasses of Critical Thinking: Seeing Through Alternative Fact & Fake News, invites readers to try out what Baba Dick Gregory calls the "magic glasses" of critical thinking. Gregory's eyewear suggests ten rules for seeing through the haze created by any culture's ruling group mind. The criteria urge students to: (1) reflect systemically, (2) select market (as an organizing principle), (3) reject neutrality, (4) suspect ideology, (5) respect history, (6) inspect scientifically, (7) quadra-sect violence, (8) connect with your deepest self, (9) collect conclusions, and (10) detect silences. The Magic Glasses of Critical Thinking then applies those criteria to a broader contemporary context where fascist tendencies reminiscent of the 1930s are unmistakable. Surprising interpretations of familiar Hollywood and documentary films illustrate every point, making this book a fascinating text and discussion starter for critical thinking and composition courses at the secondary and post-secondary levels.

Rezensionen
"I love this book. It's brilliantly written by a very wise man who's been serially enriched by spending time with some of the world's greatest visionaries, and he shares what he's learned from his conversations with them. The book is addictively readable. I started to skim the book to see if it was worth putting my time into and found I couldn't stop reading. D. Michael Rivage-Seul brings sparkling vivacity to the potentially dry topic of critical thinking. As one who has interviewed hundreds of visionaries, I found this book to offer new perspectives and ways of seeing-which is what building critical thinking skills is all about. This book offers so much more than what its title, at first glance, suggests. Have a taste and you will, like me, find yourself wanting to consume all the courses of this delicious meal." -Rob Kall, Host of the Bottom Up Radio Show, Publisher of OpEdNews.com, and Author of Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution
