Checkpoint 8

 

 

 

7. Is the information biased in any way?

There is often more than one way of looking at a piece of information.

Saying something in a certain way to make you think or believe a particular thing is called bias.

Balancing

A site that is unbiased will aim to give you a balanced opinion.

 

Half a glass of water

Imagine a glass that has been filled to the half way line.

How would a person describe it?

 

It's half empty


Both are correct, but the way it is said makes you think differently. If someone says it is half full you think of a nice full glass. But if someone says it is half empty you think of an empty glass.
