Comparing and Contrasting Articles

Oftentimes, as in the case of many of your nonfiction books, a broader perspective on a topic can give you a greater understanding of all parties involved. All of the topics you have chosen are complex in nature and require you to compare and contrast not only different perspectives on an issue but will also sometimes challenge your perspective from section to section in many of these sources. It is important to understand how these sources connect to and interact with one another.

Follow the steps below to see how this process looks in the real world:

1) Refresh your memory of the infographic we looked at on Thursday:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/12/environmental-impact-hamburger_n_4063807.html?utm_hp_ref=food&ir=Food

2) Now, choose one of the links below to read and compare and contrast with the infographic:

http://www.capitalpress.com/article/20140211/ARTICLE/140219975

http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2014/02/17/opinion-a-farmers-challenge-to-chipotle/

3) Answer the following questions in 3-6 sentences each:

A. How does the article give you a broader perspective on the topic in the infographic?

B. What information in the article confirms information given in the infographic? What information in the article contradicts information given in the infographic?

C. After reading the article, has your personal opinion been affected at all? If so, how has this challenged your beliefs? If not, how has it reinforced your personal beliefs?

Bias: Huffington Post Food Infographic

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/12/environmental-impact-hamburger_n_4063807.html?utm_hp_ref=food&ir=Food

1.    Where did you feel a challenge to your own beliefs, attitudes, or status in the infograpic? List 2-3 places you felt particularly strongly that this happened.

2.    What perspective do you have that creates these challenges?

Do you think this infographic has any bias? Why or why not?
