I think just like the activity we did in class we can’t just completely ignore the media because it gives us biased information as there are somethings that we have to listen to in order to be safe such as the weather etc. Similarly there are statistics that we could use in order to have important/real statistics that we could use in our own arguments, opinions or research.

I think this is very important to note on how there are so many fake statistics out there that continue to live on and create biased from those who encounter these statistics.

I have a question about this, so was the statistic stated by the C.D.F. not specific enough or was it only talking about children death by gun violence, it gets a little confusing here?

I agree with this point and it’s also very surprising that an article would say such a thing when it is such a crazy statistic to state. Also, the fact that the student put that into his essay showed how people are so easy to believe crazy statistics like this if it is a “credible-looking” source.
