Designers have the role of form\u00ading lan\u00adguage at a visu\u00adal level and so a social respons\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity for that con\u00adtent. This respons\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity is com\u00adpoun\u00added by the free access to media enables by every\u00adone. The example giv\u00aden by the group was that we all have access to \u2018Meine Kampf\u2019. The ques\u00adtion was should we have access to it and if so does it assume, should it assume that we are respons\u00adible in our con\u00adsump\u00adtion of it?<\/p>\n
Therefore I would con\u00adclude that con\u00adsumers have a respons\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity to be dis\u00adcern\u00ading and to seek edu\u00adca\u00adtion in order to under\u00adstand the con\u00adtent in con\u00adtext and not to simply absorb as \u2018stand-alone\u2019 mes\u00adsages devoid of con\u00adtext. But of course the real respons\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity lies with the design\u00ader or more accur\u00adately, the visu\u00adal com\u00admu\u00adnic\u00adat\u00adors. Who does that really include? Is it the designer\/advertising exec\/client\/corporation\/user\/customer? How is this weighted?<\/p>\n
Tabloid news comes to mind as the most obvi\u00adous way in which people are influ\u00adenced in a highly neg\u00adat\u00adive way with com\u00adplete ignor\u00adance. To the undis\u00adcern\u00ading eye the \u2018news\u2019 appears as such, a sequence of facts nicely pack\u00adaged with relat\u00ading imagery and in a format that is eas\u00adily con\u00adsumed. When the fact is that it is manip\u00adu\u00adlat\u00adively (often clum\u00adsily) con\u00adstruc\u00adted in order to draw the read\u00ader to draw erro\u00adneous con\u00adclu\u00adsions. Sensational and col\u00adour\u00adful stor\u00adies are con\u00adsumed and lazily used as mark\u00aders in place of any real know\u00adledge as to what to expect from the world. Stereotypes, clich\u00e9s and ignor\u00adance are bred this way and con\u00adtin\u00adues to do so as the web car\u00adries the baton.<\/p>\n
Statistics and met\u00adrics dis\u00adtort\u00ading the facts, was one area raised in the dis\u00adcus\u00adsion as a quan\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adable meth\u00adod of per\u00adsua\u00adsion. \u2018Bad Science\u2019 was men\u00adtioned. Is there a way of extract\u00ading facts from journ\u00adal\u00adist\u00adic lean and then present\u00ading them without bias?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
