We look at the European Commission’s list of identifying traits of a conspiracy theory.
Assignment:
With the help of the European Commission’s list, identify one or two conspiracy theories. Then explain what traits they have that coincides with the list.
Something to think about:
It is very nice to feel that you are a little bit smarter than others. That is also the big appeal for conspiracy theorists. But, if you think about all the intelligent people that have walked this earth before you, it should humble your opinion on yourself a tiny, little bit. And that is a good thing. Try to focus on what you have learned and on your capacity for critical thinking.
Remember – not following the/a group is not the same as critical thinking.
