Argumentation:
This one of AYA's signature courses. The objectives are to teach students the rules of argumentation, of claims and conclusions, of evidence and premises. They are to learn how to construct and deconstruct arguments, how to challenge each others arguments and how remain confident in themselves as they see their arguments challenged.
Resource: Anthony Westons's Rules of Argumentation.
Falsification:
The dominant manifestation of the MAAFA currently is mind control of Afrikan people so that we apparently willingly do what weakens our power as a people, and simultaneously supports those who have and continue to oppress us. In short, we've accepted false conclusions (ugly, inadequate, too emotional, etc.) about ourselves and those that oppress us based on false evidence. Students will learn to identify some of those false conclusions and to ferret out their errant premises. They will also learn to build strong arguments for a Afrikan consciousness that strengthens us and enables us to heal, fight,and rebuild. Our primary guide for this part of the journey will be Amos N. Wilson.
