Course content
The purpose of the discipline is the formation of critical thinking, the acquisition of knowledge about protection against harmful and hidden influences in political communication, the formation of skills and abilities to recognize and resist manipulative technologies in political discourse. Recognition of the techniques of suggestion, neurolinguistic manipulation is carried out on the example of texts of political discourse (political advertising, propaganda, etc.). Attention is also focused on the scientific concepts of the information and communication society. The study of the techniques of "black PR" and "black rhetoric" is also accompanied by comments on recognizing and countering suggestive influences. Defining the Internet as a separate new environment for political manipulation allows us to outline the principles of suggestive linguistics in Internet communication. Concepts, forms and methods of psychological protection also belong to the subjects of consideration.
