Nearly 8 in 10 teens say social media influences the way people think about important issues?

The damaging side of advocacy happens when people spread untrue information and lies. Good advocates have to be able to look into potentially difficult/emotional/controversial issues but remain truthful accurate and fair. When people rely on a lie they might be using false statistics doctored images and so on to support their claims which only further undermines their credibility

Spot the Difference:

Questions to think about 

Which statement uses evidence?

Which statement sounds more emotional or biased?

Which statement would build more trust with an audience?

Read the examples below and decide which one is responsible advocacy and which one may be misinformation:

Example A

“Research shows that school based health centers can improve student access to healthcare and mental health support.”

Example B

“Schools without health centers do not care about student health at all.”
