Choices 2.0 Chapter 6

In Chapter six of Joe Hardin's Choices 2.0 he emphasizes that media has in a sense brain washed its' viewers. Hardin provides evidence such as the commercials we see while watching our favorite TV show, driving to work and simply reading the newspaper. The biasness inside the media has a strong effect on the viewer. While writing a paper one must remember to have an open mind and have an even playing field for all views to be expressed. His purpose is to show that although we have our own personal beliefs about things, our readers should be able to view all evidence before making a decision or be influenced by our own biasness. Media is a perfect example of how biasness blinds the audience and hides the truth. Hardin's tone in this chapter is very informative and over protective. He reminds the reader not to believe everything he/she reads or sees. This piece seems to hint that when writing our own personal piece to be open minded, and win the argument by providing enough evidence not but undermining the other view.
