Introduction To Media Manipulation Tactics and Propaganda
Manipulation tactics work because they address our blind spots, our assumptions and our vulnerabilities.
In this course we will look into how we can be persuaded to adopt certain beliefs through language tricks, subtle suggestions and emotional manipulation.
We will look into how we give away our power in the name of good intentions and we will see how we can take it back.
This is the first part of the Tools of Media Manipulation course in which I discuss the fundamentals of media manipulation and how it relates to our emotional wounds. Before we are able to identify manipulative behavior we need to understand how our mind works and how we form belief.
I intend to create one or two more parts on Media Manipulation in which I will discuss each tool in detail (Labels/Frames, Assuming Reasons, Repetition, Authority Figures, False Opposites, Discrediting Dissent, etc). In the next parts I will also discuss ways of defending ourselves from manipulation tactics.
Identify media manipulation tactics.
Understand how emotional wounds and vulnerabilities can be exploited by the media.
See how unhealthy dynamics in personal relationships can be identified among media manipulation strategies.

Very nice, i wait the second part. ;D.
Great introductive course. Is pushes to attend the next one. Just a little suggest: when theacher reads or describes features, sometimes it could be useful to use several different voice intonation. That's to say sometimes tone is monotonic and does not focus on principal concepts. But it's a small thing..
Very good course. I think in the first lecture the pronunciation was MPD instead of NPD. Rest apart, it is a very informative course.

Information is very much valuable, but narration is not that up to the mark, kind of boring.
