The reading and the lecture are both about the power of information. The author of the reading feels that there are three main points about how people collect information. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He is of the opinion that these explanations are faulty.
To begin with, the author argues that residents get information about issues from broadcasts and television news, that very often could be with humor or political manipulations. The article mentions that this way can lead to misinformation and fact check can reveal the truth and enlighten false facts. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that facts do not necessarily have the power to change people’s minds. The lecturer tells that people seldom change their minds if they get a corrected fact. Additionally, he says that it makes the efficiency of fact checking doubtful.
Secondly, the writer suggests that having all information allows people to develop as an intelligent person. In the article, it is said that listening to opposing opinions plays a vital role because people are able to see the problem from all the sides. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that people’s opinions are often based on their beliefs. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that residents change facts in order to fit them to their beliefs. It makes them immune to new information and reinforces believes.
Finally, the author posits that accurate information plays an important role to make a decision. Moreover, he tells that men try to find the truth, because they are driven by instinct when they are scared. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is that when people feel fear, they don’t receive new information. He notes that as a result, people become vulnerable to be misinformed and they are easy to control. //304
