Current Social Issues Immigration Discussion

/in /by

Consider one of the following current social issues – or one of your choice:

Gun violence

Racism

  • Economic inequality
  • Sexism
  • Violent crime
  • Immigration
  • For the initial post, address the following:
  • State your position on one of these issues – are you for, against, or neutral? Explain why. Avoid vagueness or ambiguity in your response. Make your position very clear.

  • In your responses, look for another student’s post, either on the same or a different issue. Choose, where possible, a peer whose initial post has not yet been examined by another student, and examine it. Do you agree or disagree with your peer?
  • Is your initial reaction to your peer “So, right; you bet!” or is it “So wrong, you’re all wet!”

Examine carefully your thinking in response to your peers:

What part, if any, have facts, heuristics, or dominance structuring played in your response?

What part, if any, has cognitive bias played in your response?
