Eco chambers = an environment where a person People don’t live in an echo chamber bc people
only encounters info or opinions that reflect and will consume a lot of information true social
reinforce their own media and that is why it is impossible that they
live in an EC.
When Trump was elected many liberal students When you use a lot of SM sources you
were not happy bc they didn’t understand how a can’t be part of an EC
non-liberal could be chosen. This is because they go People will place SM as least reliable
to a liberal university. media source bc they don’t trust the news
spread on there
When students live in a liberal echo chamber, they
can’t learn a lot about their country from another
vision. They have to stand open for different
opinions to lean about the society.
It is important to talk about this topic bc it’s giving
another side to the story.
He has a high level of education that reflects in good He tells his own statement and then the interview
arguments.
Differs from other article:
The author has a very strong opinion, so it is more - More easy language
subjective. - More pictures
- 2 POV’s
He starts off with a situation: he tells the story about
how the students reacted after Trump’s election. He The author was totally subjective
comes with a very big claim on what the Americans
did and did wrong.
He used more difficult words. So difficult and strong
opinions that it almost doesn’t look like an opinion
piece.
Conclusion: there is a lack of ideological diversity in
universities.
Solution: embrace the diversity we
encourage
Recruit job applicants with divers
political and sociological views
Bring conservative speakers to
university to get in contact with
divers’ points of view
Avoid the work environment to be
, hateful towards conservatives and
evangelicals
Build an environment free of EC where
everyone’s views and beliefs can be
discussed
It is a little bit objective when he uses a fact that
says ‘10% of the professors form the social sciences
are republicans. Anywhere else is he subjective
because above the title of the article stays ‘opinion’.
