How do we end up with different ideas and opinions? How can we talk about these ideas and opinions to each other even when we disagree?

Such as:

*When I read, see or hear something, how do I know if it's true or false?

*What if I'm right and my friend's wrong? How do we stay friends?

  • Is it okay to change my mind?

Dr Matt explains how to avoid confirmation bias and 'us' vs 'them' thinking, and how to stay calm and show respect to others in the heat of an argument, along with tips on how to debate like a pro! Included are some thought experiments to do at home or in the classroom that will help kids speak their mind without losing their cool.

Dr Matt Agnew is a popular author and commentator on TV and radio including appearances on The Morning Show, ABC News Breakfast, ABC Melbourne, Wave FM, Triple J and popular podcasts such as Dr Karl's Shirtload of Science.
