"The pattern applies to the cultural materials on the syllabus. If teachers want students to discern the implicit meanings in commercial images, they should have students study images of more complexity and subtlety. A few days with images taken from great photography and film will equip them to “read” music videos much more effectively than will a few days with those videos themselves. Poetry by Alexander Pope and Edna St. Vincent Millay will do more for students’ verbal cognizance than will political advertisements and Twitter tweets.
This is the immediate virtue of anti-relevance. If teachers want to raise critical thinking about contemporary mass culture, they should expose students to past high culture."
Based on internationally acknowledged cognitive science research, our software taps into human beings’ extraordinary visual and spatial intelligence to improve critical thinking, shared reasoning, and conflict resolution. Our products and methods help individuals and groups to analyze and solve complex and strategic problems.
