The
History of the Cuban Missile Crisis – a TED-ed lesson; “Imagine
going about your life knowing that, at any given moment, you and everyone you
know could be wiped out without warning at the push of a button. This was the
reality for millions of people during the forty-five year period after World
War II now known as the Cold War. Matthew A. Jordan explains the history behind
the peak of all this panic — the thirteen days of the Cuban Missile Crisis.” (L:H; SA:SS)
The Living Room Candidate – “The Living Room
Candidate contains more than 300 commercials, from every presidential
election since 1952, when Madison Avenue advertising executive Rosser Reeves
convinced Dwight Eisenhower that short ads played during such popular TV
programs as I Love Lucy would reach more voters than any other
form of advertising. This innovation had a permanent effect on the way presidential
campaigns are run.” (L:H; SA:SS)
Logical Fallacies – free downloadable poster; “A
logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. Logical fallacies are like tricks or
illusions of thought, and they're often very sneakily used by politicians and
the media to fool people. Don't be fooled! This website has been designed to
help you identify and call out dodgy logic wherever it may raise its ugly,
incoherent head. Rollover the icons above and click for examples. If you
see someone committing a fallacy, link them to it e.g.
yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman” (L:H; SA:SS)
