Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #32579 Good Information
Instructions
One  of  the  characteristics  of  good  information  identified  earlier  was  that  it  should  be  balanced.  In  an  ideal  world,  objective  or  balanced  information  would  present  all  the    for  and  against,  and  leave  you  to  weigh  this  up  and  draw  conclusions.  In  the  real  world,  however,  we  recognize  that  all  information  presents  a  position  of  ,  although  this  may  not  necessarily  be  intentional.  Objectivity  may  therefore  be  an  unachievable  ideal.  This  means  that  the  onus  is  on  you  as  the  reader  and  user  of  the  information  to    a  critical  awareness  of  the  positions  represented  in  what  you  read,  and  to  take  account  of  this  when  you  interpret  the  information.  In  some  cases,  authors  may  explicitly  express  a  particular  viewpoint  -  this  is  perfectly  valid  as  long  as  they  are  open  about  the  perspective  they  represent.  Hidden  bias,  whether  or  not  it  is  ,  can  be  misleading.  This  could  be  particularly  important  in  a  subject  area  where  there  is  controversy.
