Module 2: Challenge 2.1

Information is a powerful tool. It can be meaningfully used or indiscriminately

misused. When you encounter a piece of information, how would you react then?

Believe at once? Give the benefit of the doubt? Try to verify? Find out the credibility

of the information including the sources? Why? How would you practice the

techniques of external and internal criticisms in other aspects of your everyday

life?

- Indeed, information is a powerful tool, but we should not believe everything we see

or hear. However, we should not dismiss information simply because we do not

know where it came from. Fact checking is essential, especially when it can affect

someone else's life. We should always practice external and internal criticism

techniques in our lives so th at we do not become victims of misinformation. When

we are given something, we should always verify its authenticity and credibility.

We should always remember that inconsistency is a significant factor in

determining whether or not someone is lying.
