Social issues such as viruses, vaccines, climate change, presidential elections, and every flavor of natural or man-made tragedy have infiltrated our thoughts. Rather than let it all get you down, have fun learning critical thinking skills and quizzing your family and friends with this printable poster to spot and avoid flaws in reasoning, as well as help you develop strong philosophical arguments, so that you can be the best version of yourself and make informed choices.

Don’t be fooled.
