Critical Thinking [Oxford University Oxplore & TSA Section 2 Prompts]

    Ended Fri, Aug 2, 2024

Each session, we will go through one topic. Examples: - Would a world in which no one ever experienced disappointment be better or worse than the world as it is? [Oxford University Thinking Skills Assessment Section 2 (Philosophy, Politics & Economics)] - Should everyone be paid the same? [oxplore.org, a free educational website created by the University of Oxford designed to allow anyone to engage with complex ideas across a wide range of subjects] Why join? - If you are applying to a UK university, there you go! The most important thing UK universities look for in their interviews, arguably may be critical thinking. - Even if you are applying to an internship, another university or heading straight to the workplace, critical thinking unleashes a lot and it is a necessary and highly valued skill.

Debate Summer School

    Ended Mon, Aug 22, 2022

In our Debate Summer School we use thought experiments, debates and discussions to sharpen your analytical skills, introduce you to new ideas, and give you the confidence they need to argue effectively. The subjects we discuss and debate on will range from topical issues - for example climate change, to moral problems from everyday life - for example payment for children's work, to big questions which have plagued philosophers for centuries such as the nature of truth and reality for example is there a God? There is no one correct answer – only the ability to ask questions to gain a wider understanding, a range of methods to tackle you with, and the requirement to think logically and give reasons for your arguments. Informal group discussions allow you to get to grips with some challenging ideas in a relaxed environment. You can also make friends. Seminar debates on moral issues such as “Is it wrong to steal if I am poor and hungry?”, “Can it ever be right to kill one person if you save lots of others?”, “Should the government ban smoking?”, “Is animal testing in the name of science OK?” Interactive thought experiments tackling issues such as “How do we know if we’re dreaming” and “What makes me the same person I was yesterday?” and "Is the world an illusion?". The tutor – Jil Shah – has achieved a percentage of 100% throughout her philosophy, religion and ethics course - her students say she is friendly, approachable, and experienced working with people of all ages - whether older than her, the same age or younger! Working larger or smaller groups, they will help students navigate through these fascinating and complex debates, and will explain the issues at the right pace for them. PREREQUISITES: You must know what debate is, must be comfortable to switch on your mic and share your points and you must be willing to attend all the sessions. DEBATE GROUP 2: If you want to be part of group 2, you must have some experience in debate. EQUIPMENT: You must have a pen and paper to take notes! MORE SESSIONS will be added.
