Don’t Be Fooled by False Information
I am sometimes surprised how much false information we are surrounded by nowadays. Why do you think this is so? One reason is that living in the age of the Internet, we are exposed to a wide variety of unreliable or even misleading information. That’s why we need to acquire “media literacy.”
First of all, we have to check the sources of any information we come across. We need to ask ourselves whether the information comes from a reliable source. Advertisements are full of false or exaggerated claims, so it is also important for us to make sure that there is enough evidence or data supporting them. It is necessary for us to always look at the information from different angles, suspecting it might be wrong. In this way, we will be able to avoid being taken in by misinformation.
