▶ Your Answer :
The society has become more complex
than ever, and many different resources release a lot of news every day. There
is a controversy whether a person must get information from many different news
resources. I strongly agree with the statement that a person should obtain information
from different news resources rather than relying on one type of resource. The first
reason is that people can have subjective views about issues if they get information
from only one new resource, and the second reason is about exposure to many
different topics.
To begin
with, people can receive inaccurate information if they only get information
from one media. One news resource can have one sided view rather than having
diverse views. For instance, some new medias are known for their conservative
views or liberal views depending on what news medias that people are watching. These
news channels show opinionated views about certain issues such as government
policies and social topics, thus if people are only watching these types of news
channels, people would not have a chance to hear from both sides about the
certain issues. It is a fetched assumption that one would be well-informed without
learning about many opinions from different resources,
Second, one
can be well-informed by broadening their perspective. Different news resources
have various topics of the news, however, if people are only watching one news
resource, then people would be exposed to limited amount of topics. For example,
I used to watch sports channels only whenever I have a free time. After some
time, I realized that I could not follow up on the current events and trendy
news. The reason was that I did not get enough access to other news resources
that dealt with more of our current events and politics. I was more
well-informed when I started to watch other news stations besides sport
channels.
Finally,
I strongly agree that people must obtain information from different news resources
to stay well-informed. The reasons are people can have objective views as well
as they can have knowledge about a wide variety of topics. |
