Internet Activity


Students: Complete the following tasks:

1. Find two World Wide Web sites that you feel take positions that run contrary to your own views and to the views of most members of our society. These sites might, for example, advocate white supremacy, complete racial separation, or even cloning.

2. Analyze the sites to determine the strategies used to convince people to adopt the group’s views. Were they good, and how do you know?

3. Discuss the strategies the author used to try and persuade you. Identify the fallacies that you recognize. Be prepared to share your research.
