Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inoculation theory suggests that exposing people to weak forms of a persuasive argument can help them build resistance to it, much like a vaccine. This theory has been applied successfully to various issues, including resisting alcohol use, protecting against credit card abuse, banning animal testing, and legalizing marijuana. However, there is limited evidence to suggest it has been directly applied to or is successful in the context of dismantling nuclear arms, making it the exception.
