TFY CHAPTER 8 SUMMARY
VIEWPOINTS: WHAT’S THE FILTER?
Critical thinking means leaning to recognize viewpoints and how they shape the content of any message.
Viewpoints-like assumptions, opinions, and evaluations-can either be consciously or unconsciously assumed.
We communicate best when we are aware of our own viewpoint and can understand and respect the viewpoints of others as well.
Unconscious viewpoints include the egocentric, ethnocentric, religiocentric, androcentric, and anthropocentric.
Periodicals can express viewpoints through images, words, and in the framing given to information. Framing decisions made by an editor can exercise a hidden influence over the reader.
