Fact or Opinion?
Sometimes, we may see online videos, news or pictures that convey messages by other people.
Although hearing or reading other people’s opinions is important and can also be useful to helping you make up your mind, it’s important to understand that it is
opinion!
Being able to distinguish between fact and opinion develops our critical and analytical skills. Whether on the news, in advertising, or a history book, opinions can be used to mislead us.
Telling the difference is important to avoid being manipulated. We can then learn new things that are true and form our own opinions. It can be difficult sometimes to tell between the two, but taking a closer look at the language used is a good indicator.
