▶ Your Answer : Some people might argue that getting news from sources that have common in their way of thinking is good method. However, in my opinion, I think that reading news provided by people who think differently is better way to get sources. I think this way for two reasons, which I explore in the following essay. To begin with, getting opposing opinion helps to improve statement clearly. There could be some mistaken idea or minor error in thoughts. While people get sources from counterpart who have different idea, they can find out those misconception and revise it to perfect. My own experience demonstrates convincing evidence of this. When I was freshman, I was preparing for debating tournament. The main topic was about 'Death Penalty' which I disagree with. I had difficulty to find out evidence of it. I, however, surfed internet about reason why the death penalty needed, and got many idea why it has to be exist. After I gathered information of counterpart, I was able to write down my opinion clearly. If I have tried to get information only from similar stance, I could have not organize my opinion properly. On top of that, it could develop thoughts to the next level which means create a new idea. To be specific, when people encounter to debating idea, they struggle to overcome the situation. In the consequence, people can figure out new method. There was a German philosopher who argue this phenomenon. Hegel argue that thesis and antithesis encounter each other, it will be synthesized to another solution. For example, there is a recent study conducted by Seoul University to determine better way to make new idea whether using opposite idea or similar one. It resulted in seventy-seven percentage of people who got opposite idea are more likely to make new idea easily. This is because different idea helps them broaden their viewpoint, they, therefore, enhance their idea creatively. This is obvious evidence that getting different news from my opinion is better way. To sum up, getting opposing opinion makes their statement clearly, and also it enhances our thoughts that helps people more creative. In this regard, I think that it is better to get news from people who thought differently. |
