Empathy and News
Read the article above. How we relay a message matters. Context is everything. This is why you are being asked to understand how context can influence you as a reader.
“Issues such as health care, poverty and discrimination all should
elicit compassion,” Oliver says. “But presenting these issues as
personalized stories more effectively evokes emotions that lead to
greater caring, willingness to help and interest in obtaining more
information.”
Can you think of a time your interest was sparked in a global issue through a novel, film, or song? Please make note of an example when the medium mattered to you (100 words please)
