A BLURRING OF THE

LINE BETWEEN
OPINION AND FACT
GROUP 2
 FACTS VS. OPINIONS

FACTS
-It can refer to either something that is true or something that is claimed to
be true.

OPINIONS
- It's a feeling or thoughts regarding something or someone.
WHAT IS OUR TREND ABOUT?

• It used to be that comprehending the news was much simpler.

The distinction between objective, verifiable fact and author
and producer opinion was typically made by newspapers, radio,
and television stations. To separate subjective content from
more objective reporting, they utilized words like editorial, op-
ed, and commentary.
• A remark that can be proven accurate or untrue is referred to be
a fact. An opinion is a non-provable representation of a person's
feelings. Opinions can be founded on facts or emotions, and
they can also be used to deceive people. As a result, it's critical
to understand the author's intent and language choices. The
author will sometimes let the facts speak for themselves.
EXAMPLES OF
MICRO AND
MACRO
 MICRO

• In medical social work: Working with an increasing number of

customers who are suffering from health problems and sickness as a
result of the deterioration of air and water quality.
• Clinical therapy with individuals, families, and groups: People who
have lost their jobs, houses, and financial security, as well as a sacred
natural site and a sense of community
 MACRO

• Collaboration with different levels of government to develop

regulations that reduce pollution in the air, water, and soil.

• Supporting Indigenous peoples' self-determination and

control over their lands and resources.
FICTIONAL
EXAMPLES
TV SERIES:
 1ST EXAMPLE: SEX EDUCATION

• Every episode of Sex Education is jam-packed with sex

questions that everyone, young and old, wonders about
but few have the courage to ask. If you have a small
child in your life, this show will inspire you to be more
transparent about your trustworthiness than ever before.
• For those concerned that these discussions may
encourage sex, evidence demonstrates that the reverse
is true: accurate, comprehensive sex education does not
encourage sex; rather, it helps young people have safer
sex when they are ready.
 2ND EXAMPLE: 13 REASONS WHY

• When viewing content that is controversial, such as 13 Reasons

Why, assist students in articulating their thoughts. The challenging
challenges shown do occur in schools and communities, therefore
adults must listen, take adolescents' concerns seriously, and be
willing to offer assistance. Remind students that mental health
specialists employed by the school are accessible to assist them.
• Emphasize that the behavior of the second counselor in the series
is viewed as unacceptable by almost all school-based mental
health experts. It is critical that all school-based mental health
practitioners get suicide risk assessment training. Ascertain that
parents, instructors, and students are aware of the dangers of
suicide.
