Writing.Com General Discussion

Rational thinking is a part of both society & environment and health classes in South Australia as well, where arguments are looked at rationally. As a teacher, I had a list of fallacies the curriculum told me to teach the students to watch out for, and these were 11-13 year olds. Yes, ad hominem was one. We had in-class debates about things in the news, and it was brought up by students again and again that the online world does not know how to debate properly.

Just something else the Internet has destroyed.

Seriously, with the disinformation, theft, toxicity, and "dumbing down" of people... is the Internet really that good?

And we seem to have drifted from reading comprehension...

Sorry!
