It is constructed around four significant terms - Bias, Censorship, Opinion and Propaganda, encouraging students not just to grasp these concepts but also apply them imaginatively.

The goal is cultivation of conscious understanding about how personal experiences can greatly influence individual perspectives—a critical life skill that often gets overlooked.
