"プロパガンダの対象とする聴衆を考えるとき、自然な自己防衛機構である批判的な能力を認識しなければなりません。"
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
When people are exposed to messages trying to convince them of something, their minds automatically start questioning and analyzing these messages. This ability to think critically acts like a protective shield, helping them to not just accept everything they hear. For example, if someone is watching a commercial that claims a product will make them immediately successful, their critical thinking skills help them question if the claim is too good to be true or if there’s more to the story. This is important because it stops people from being easily misled or manipulated by false information. People can use this critical thinking ability every day, like when deciding who to vote for or what news to believe, ensuring they make more informed and fair decisions.
