Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important to read or watch news presented by people whose views are different from your own than it is to read or watch news presented by those whose views are similar to your own. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

News

provides us with most of the essential information that helps us to understand what's happening around us. With the surge of modernism, the

news

is presented through different platforms

such

as the Internet, TV, newspapers, etc.

Therefore

, it is very critical to consider whether we read these reports in favour of our

views

or the contrary.

Although

some may consider that it is better to watch

news

presented by people who hold the same perspective, I personally, agree with the statement that it is recommended to listen to different

views

. I strongly feel

this

way for two main reasons, which I shall delve into in the following essay. First and foremost, observing in a contrasting manner broadens our scope of knowledge and understanding. What we may think is right but in the

fact

Add a comma

,fact

show examples

it might be incorrect. My own life is an example of

this

. When I started learning about the keto diet in the

news

, it broadcasted positive and efficient results, which made me start the keto regime. But down the lane, I understood that there were some added negative effects with

this

diet when I heard about it from a different broadcast. Listening to divergent

views

will improve our critical thinking and

hence

, increase our width of thinking.

Secondly

, reading opposing

views

will help us to see things more from an objective perspective. When we listen to

views

of the same opinions we tend to think only subjectively. Factual matters determine the solidity of content rather than hearsay information.

For example

, I was under the assumption that genetically modified food is harmful, based on the

news

report I read. But reading about it online on a different broadcast written by scientists said that some are genetically modified to be more healthy and more organic. Having objective thinking in matters will help us to get a clear picture of the scenario. In conclusion,

although

, some people may hinder from watching any contrasting

views

because they might not have gone through any contrasting instance, I personally believe that watching the

news

which presents different

views

than our own will help us to broaden our knowledge and

as well as

improve our objective thinking.
