Semantics - Word Choice/Meanings

Started by asking if you wanted a new phone.  Concluded with a more detailed question asking the same thing.  The objective was for you to realize how wording can reshape a question so pre-determined results could be obtained.  Essentially, polling & surveys can be easily manipulated.

We also finished yesterday's handout (Side 2 done in small groups).

WQ: What is the purpose of constantly testing nuclear weapons?
