Computer Games:
Who'd've believed it? Researchers now say computer games aren't just fun, they're educational! Our lawyers won't let us give you access to the games themselves, but we think you can't play these without learning how to think critically.

T.V. and Movies:
Watch closely. Every one of these contains some political thinking that's worth arguing about. Whatever your politics, there's
no better way to learn than by confronting ideas you don't like.
