▶ Your Answer :
It is evident that
in our current society, information has a tremendous importance in our lives.
Some people might think that finding various news sources does not a big deal,
while others do not. I however, believe that the information today is really
important. There are several reasons that I could discuss to support my argument so I will limit my discussion to the two that I feel are the most relevant to the topic: The concepts of balanced
viewpoint and specific information.
First of all,
maintaining a balanced sight is needed talent today. We can easily access to Internet
which contains plenty of information. However most of them has a biased sight
even if it is a news which has to be correct and fair. On top of that, If we
rely on a single source, we could easily be misinformed. Hence, we need to get
information from various news sources to maintain balanced sight. A couple
of days ago, for instance, I saw on TV news that a son killed his mother
cruelly. The news showed his apparatus and his elaborate plan, which makes me
think him an evil. However, few days later I read another newspaper that the
boy commited murder because he could not bear his mother's violence which lasted
for 10 years anymore. I felt sorry for him and I realized that if I don't see the
various news sources, I would pass substantial points.
Second, the mass of
mixed information do not filter the texts we need. Each media covers the
specific information and their purposes, ranges are all different. If you need
a specific information about marine animals, you have to see the marine
journal, not the daily newspaper. When I was a freshman in university, I had a
hard time looking for a composer's detailed biography. However, my professor told
me to look for the Grove dictionary which contains vast information of music
history, I could write my essay really quickly. As this experience clearly
shows, the more news sources we use to learn, the better information we can
get.
All things
considered, with the reasons mentioned above, I believe that I have sufficiently
and adequately explained my position on the matters regarding this issue. |
