• What role may deep fakes play in cognition, with their ability to fool our perception, memory, and/or decision making? Why is this significant? What implications might this have for society, the entertainment industry, and the political sphere?
• When you move away from the individual and move into groups, how do cognitive abilities interact to create social currents like human rights, nationalism, and social justice, for example?
• How does the concept of cognition in the modern world apply to at least one of the following programmatic course themes?
  • Self-care
  • Social justice
  • Emotional intelligence (EI)
  • Career connections
  • Ethics
