Enligt sociologen Mikael Klintman tolkar vi mellanmänskliga och politiska budskap genom fyra slags filter. Blir vi medvetna om dessa ökar chansen till att förstå hur budskap formas – och varför vi reagerar som vi gör. Mikael Klintman har under många år forskat om kunskapsresistens och den egna gruppens påverkan på individen. En övergripande slutsats är att vi har svårt att ta till oss kunskap som
