Introduction
In an era where the rapid spread of information is unprecedented, misinformation and false narratives have emerged as pervasive threats to the integrity of public discourse and the functioning of democratic societies. These challenges are not confined to a single region or culture but are global in nature, often fueled by technological advancements that have transformed how information is disseminated and consumed. From deep fakes and manipulated content to orchestrated disinformation campaigns, the landscape of information has become a battleground where truth and falsehood vie for supremacy. “Combatting Misinformation and Global Nation’s False Narratives Through Education” explores the crucial role that education plays in addressing these challenges. While the technological, political, and social dimensions of misinformation have been widely studied, there remains a significant gap in understanding how education can serve as a powerful tool to counteract misinformation and disinformation. This book delves into the multifaceted ways in which educational strategies can be employed to develop critical thinking skills, media literacy, and an informed citizenry capable of discerning truth from falsehood.
