Public Defenders: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) (YouTube Video)
Whether you know it or not, you are already a mass consumer of statistical information, but are you a critical consumer?
Daily, you are bombarded with numbers in nearly all aspects of life, but how often do you stop and consider the validity of all those sounds bites, recent polls, and quotes?
The goal of this class, above all else, is to hone your ability to be critical of information you are exposed to. Watch the video above from John Olive's Last Week Tonight on the public defenders of this country and answer the following prompts.
While watching the video, did any of the fact presented by John make you question the "facts" or how they were presented? Why or why not?
Assuming the information presented is accurate, is this the best way to disseminate these issues to the general public? Why or why not?
If you were the spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office, how would you spin these numbers to make it look like this is not an issue and everything is fine?
Your response should be 500-750 words, in APA format, 12pt font, 1" margins, Cover page (abstract not required), references page, etc. Make sure to use a .doc, docx, or rtf file format and attach the file when submitting.
This assignment has a minimum of five (5) required sources. While the video can count as one source, this means you need to find additional sources to add detail and support to your answers. Look for real world examples in the news, peer reviewed journals, etc.
