    Module 2: Recognizing Evaluative Word Choices to Detect Biases and Propaganda Devices used

    Advertisements in media, be it in print or in broadcast are meant to promote an idea, a cause or a
    commercial product. They are intended to make something known to the public. Advertisements use
    propaganda for this purpose. Propaganda techniques are methods, measures or devices for spreading beliefs or
    actions. They are used for business, political, military or religious reasons. But, we should always remember
    that not everything said in an advertisement is true or factual. Some are merely propagandas or those done with
    false claims. Thus, it is better to ask or do research from reliable sources before believing.
    A bias is a judgment based on as personal point of view. Propaganda techniques also refer to the
    spreading of information, ideas or rumors. It is meant to make people accept them. The ideas are usually false or
    misleading.

    else to make it acceptable.

    Module 3:
    Compare and Contrast Content of Materials Viewed to Other Sources of
    Information (Print, Online, and Broadcast)

    The term Media refers to the groups that communicate information and news to people.
    Most of us get information about government from the media because it would be
    impossible to gather all the news by ourselves.
    Media outlets have responded to the increasing reliance of human on television and the
    internet by making the news even more readily available to people. There are three main
    types of news media: print media, broadcast media, and the internet.
    Print Media
    The oldest media forms are newspapers, magazines, journals, newsletters, and other
    printed materials. These publications are collectively known as the Print Media. Although
    print media readership has declined in the last few decades, many people still read a
    newspaper every day or a news magazine on a regular basis. The influence of print
    media is therefore significant. Regular readers of print media tend to be more likely to be
    politically active.
    Broadcast Media
    Broadcast Media are news reports broadcast via radio and television. Television news is
    hugely important because most people get news from television broadcasts than from
    any other source.
    Online
    The internet is slowly transforming the news media because people are relying on online
    sources of news instead of traditional print and broadcast media. People surf the sites of
    more traditional media outlets, such as ABS-CBN, GMA News, and CNN, but also turn to
    unique online news sources such as weblogs.
    The Importance of Comparing and Contrasting Content of Materials
    With the information that you get from different sources discussed above, it is very
    important that you know how to compare and contrast ideas to enable you to identify
    conflicting and consistent information, and to critically evaluate sources. Likewise, it is
    also very important to be able to think critically about information, and understand that
    different sources are going to provide different versions.
    The Difference Between Comparing and Contrasting
    Comparing simply discusses elements that are similar, while contrasting discusses
    elements that are different. For example, if we make a comparison between a cat and a
    dog, we can say:
    Cats and dogs are both domestic animals since they have been known to live alongside
    humans. However, if we make a contrast between them, we can say:
    Cats and dogs differ the way they sound; the dogs bark, howl, or growl, whereas cats
    meow or snarl.
