Purpose
This format identifies common assumptions that the source content challenges and presents each as a contrast between what most people believe and what the evidence shows. It creates productive tension on every slide. The assumptions are stated confidently and fairly, never as strawmen, and the counter-perspectives are grounded in evidence from the source.
Structure
The carousel opens with a cover slide pairing a headline about the tension with a short context line.
Five assumption-and-reality pairs follow, each split across two slides. The assumption gets its own slide. The reality gets its own slide.
The carousel closes with a call to action.
Best used when
The source content argues against a prevailing view or challenges conventional wisdom
The goal is to drive engagement, comments, and debate
The audience would recognize the assumptions as things they or their peers genuinely believe
