Question.489 - Chapter 7 Exercises - Logic and Critical Thinking
Answer Below:
Chapter 7 Exercises Exercise 7.1 1) When people build attitude of reasonable scepticism, they do not accept the news without analysing it. So, even though the online information spread my news media is true, people reject to accept it until and unless there are legitimate reasons behind it accepting or rejecting the news. When there is a wide spread of fake news, news consumers lose faith in online sources that provide regular news of the world, because they get stuck between which one to believe and which one not to. 9) I believe sharing fake news is unethical because as the world has become completely digitalized, everyone are depending on the online resources to learn, and understand what is happening around them. Online resources are the only saviors in such case. Spreading fake news shows selfishness of the one who has taken the advantage of online media. People who believe that fake news and follow the same might get into trouble like financially, politically, and socially. 13) Lateral reading is nothing but finding an information of a source while reading it. Exercise 7.2 2) The news post of American Patriot Daily News Network seems more satirical as it is mocking Joe Bidens reaction during his speech. Exercise 7.3 3) Fake News Exercise 7.4 1) The Fact Check organizations verdict on the vaccine-cancer claim was that it is true that virus existed in the polio vaccine but there is no evidence that proves the virus causes cancer within the human body. 2) Sources used by Fact Check organization are International Journal of Cancer, study findings of National Academies Institute of Medicine, National Academics report, and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. 3) I believe Fact Check organization has come up with the right decision at the end regarding whether polio vaccine caused cancer in humans or not because it has provided scientific evidence for each of its claims.More Articles From Philosophy
