Why is it critical to be conscious of who/where our information comes from, and the main message that is trying to be portrayed.

Answer 1

Hi! You should always double check where your information comes from because it could be wrong or false information. When you consume false information you believe things that are not true and think of them as differently than what they are. If you spread the information you learned from an incorrect source, more people will believe the wrong thing thinking that it is true. To understand the main message being portrayed, you must remember all the information you consume is trying to make you think of something a certain way. So ask yourself, what does this piece of information want me to believe? And who is trying to tell me this? Where did they get their sources and where can I double check it?
