By opening up your mind to look at multiple different perspectives and thoroughly identifying every aspect that could give a sense of bias or propaganda, we can gain a stronger understanding of the varying narratives present. Headlines, images, and word choice can easily persuade the audience as well as give off a potential bias towards a specific topic. In order to have a strong comprehension on a topic you need to look deeper into the text, note who the author is, what their claim or argument is, and use critical thinking to search for potential biases. For instance, in my research project I was required to find three perspectives on the same topic, the Al-Ahli Hospital bombing. In the Palestinian perspective they used strong word choice such as bombing and genocide, quotes from press conferences or even other countries leaders, and statistics like the number of deaths to get their point across. There was a clear preference for the Palestinian citizens in the article and the author made their argument very clear (United Nations). On the contrary, The Arab perspective used a more subtle tone and videos showing the blast prior to landing on the hospital. Their claim was that the Israeli people have been framed and people refuse to hear their side of the story because they have been portrayed as targeted and blamed due to their previous actions (Toler). This proves that it is required to not just read one article because you never fully hear the true story until you’ve heard both perspectives and as shown above both articles have very different views on the explosion. Lastly the neutral perspective has to be fully aware of the word choice and imagery to stay as unbiased as possible. Not only do they have to use neutral language but they also need to give information from both sides. For example the neutral perspective article I chose gives support towards both sides but claims “facts matter” (Sari). By using the words facts and statistics that give people a sense of confidence in their knowledge it opens up their mind to have the capability to get a better understanding of the bigger picture and not feel required to bias towards a group due to their flashier or bolder article. Therefore, in order to gain a strong understanding on a topic you need to thoroughly identify every possible bias and open your mind to every narrative given.
