Unleash the power of clear and critical thinking
Many times a day, often without realising it, we make sense and influence how others make sense of the world around us. We do this using arguments. Not arguments with raised voices. Arguments which involve claims and supporting reasons. The problem is that arguments often come at us so fast that we don’t have the time to analyse their merits and respond effectively.
