In a two-page written speech, to be given in front of an audience of parents and college faculty, in which you support the school’s decision to turn off cell phones during class, address the following. Use the aforementioned letters as examples to refute:
Identify evidence of bias in each of the three letters. How can you describe the notion of bias?
Define perspective. How does the concept of perspective influence the opinions of the speaker in each letter?
Is the school’s new proposal fair? Give your view with a set of arguments to support your view.
Give an opposing view to each letter and its arguments, and give your explanation for why your arguments should be more persuasive than the opposition’s.
Is there a bias at work in your view as well?
Briefly explain the perspectives of both sides of each argument. How does critical thought affect perspective?
