<p>The topic revolves around how cable news changes our perception of the world. If you could take the time to quickly fill it out, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>How</a> does the portrayal of the world given by cable news affect our sense of it? Survey</p>
<p>Just took it! :)</p>
<p>There, though a line between “liberal” and “conservative” doesn’t cover everyone.</p>
<p>I just took the survey.</p>
<p>I took it.</p>
<p>Took it. Just know that there are several different types of biases skewing your data. ;)</p>
<p>True, hume, but it is for the OP’s English class, not Statistics, haha. I think it just needs to be completed for a grade.</p>
<p>Oh, and I used the “Other News Sources” box to air my grievances with the survey. And add another news source. You really shouldn’t allow people to write an unlimited amount in that box…</p>
<p>You’re welcome.</p>
<p>(I took it)</p>
<p>I took it</p>
<p>you owe me, 2nd period tomorrow or else</p>
<p>I took it. Good luck!</p>
<p>Done.</p>
<p>But I’m really neither conservative nor liberal–it’s not just a nice spectrum on which you can plop down people.</p>
<p>
Exactly! I’m fiercely socialist, but also fiercely pro-life.</p>
<p>I make both sides mad.</p>
<p>Took it!</p>
<p>^Wow, that’s an interesting combination! Pro status haha</p>
<p>
That’s because abortion is more of a scientific issue. I’m pretty liberal when it comes to social issues, but am still pro-life also.</p>
<p>Well, technically neither are “political.” Most people in the US share the same (or similar) political views; that we should be a democracy, republic, or some combination thereof.</p>
<p>Rather, it is the economic issues (socialism vs. capitalism) and the social issues (abortion, who to hate and why) that divide people.</p>
<p>Back on that “Can I be Republican” thread, I used a deductively valid pure hypothetical syllogism to prove that abortion is murder.</p>
<p>My views don’t seem an unnatural mix to me; socialism pretty much entails being pro-life. Just have to tell those on both sides incorrectly using “socialist” as a short-hand for “ultra-liberal.”</p>
<p>Interesting… I’m neither entirely pro-choice nor entirely pro-life–I think 1st trimester is OK, and after that in cases of rape/mother’s health, but that line between where I think it’s ok and where it’s not is a little fuzzy… I don’t know enough about the science.</p>
<p>I’m generally very liberal on social issues though, and pretty conservative on economic and foreign policy issues. Obviously this mix makes sense to me and I can justify it to myself–otherwise why would I believe these things–but to others it might not. I’m sort of libertarian, except I do believe in a fair amount of government intervention in foreign policy.</p>
<p>So it’s really much more complicated than a simple conservative vs. liberal.</p>
