TFY Chapter Eight Viewpoint
The chapter is about how to recognize viewpoints and understand how they filter reality for us. Exercises and discussion in this chapter will show you how stories revolve around viewpoints, how conscious and unconscious viewpoints differ, how news framing conveys covert viewpoints, and how political viewpoints might be characterized. Writing applications will allow you to sample the rhetoric, ideas and values of multiple viewpoints, both familiar and unfamiliar. A concluding reading presents a viewpoint on our reluctance to talk about religion and politics.
