Dale Due No Due Date Points 10 Submitting a text entry box or a file upload This is just to spark a good discussion about biases in the way information is presented. There are no right or wrong answers, and it does not matter which political party you agree with-this is just to broaden your thinking and help you question perspectives. Reference the provided copy of the Democratic Party 2017 Survey in files for the following exercise: In a sentence or two per question, When reading the Democratic Party 2017 Survey: 1. Did you feel pressured to choose one of the topics in the sections under Personal Priorities? If yes, why? 2. Were there any Republican policies listed that you did not find as troubling before reading the survey? 3. Whether or not you are a Republican, do you feel that the option "I am not troubled by any of the policies of 4, Question #2 of Section III assumes that you find all aspects of the Trump presidency disturbing. Why/how do you 5. Do you think referring to the Democratic Party as the "minority' in Congress affects what the survey participant 6. Sections V and VI give the survey participant the opportunity to give their own input into the strategies of the DNC President Trump" generalizes the opinions of Republicans as a whole? Why or why not? think this question could help the Democratic party? thinks? of the or at very least the illusion that they do. Do you think it is a good strategy to have those points at the end docume nt near the donation section? How do you think this will affect how people donate to the DNC? 7. Are there any other ways this survey is biased in its presentation? Is this a "good" or "bad" thing? 8. Is there any bias in the presentation?

Answer 1

1. NO, i didn't feel pressured to choose the topics in personal priorities as these are very general topics. A political party must know its citizens choices to be able to govern better.

2. No, there were some republican policies thatt i didn't find as troubling. Every policy was troubling.

3. Yes, i feel that it generalises the opinion of republicans as the survey should also have the option to tick which poilicies are troublong and which not.

4. This question assumes that all policies of trump are found disturbing. This might help the democratic party in deciding why majority people are against Trump's policies, and what exactly disturbs people.

5. It is the vote bank politics. Writing democratic party as minority in the congress, hits the emotions of survey participants.

6. It is good strategy to have those points as it shows that the party believes in people and their ideas and that the party works for the people. And also more the ideas more is the opportunity for the party that any idea might work.

7. Yes the survey is biased in the sense that it demands contribution to become a member of NDC. This just to raise funds for the party. If one doesn't want to become its member. This is not a good thing.

8. Yes there is bias in the presentation, the survey demand name and address and details of the participants, which is not right. It should be anonymously filled.
