Be a Detective
How can we know what's real and what's not? How can we make sure we're not fooled? Here are a few tips.
The next time you're scrolling through your social media feed, ask yourself: Is this real? Is it biased? Is it something you should share with others? This is a muscle we need to develop increasingly as we navigate a digital jungle. So:
Be a detective. When you come across a piece of information, ask yourself: Who created it? What is their purpose? What evidence are they using to support their claims?
Don't believe everything you see. Just because something is published online doesn't mean it's true. Do your research to verify information before sharing it with others.
Be aware of your own biases. We all have biases, and it's essential to be mindful of how they can influence our interpretation of information.
Be a responsible digital citizen. Think carefully about the information you share online. Be mindful of the potential impact of your words and actions on others.
