Objectivity:
Why?

Why visit this web page?
- Information on the web can include
basic facts, personal opinions, primary sources,
secondary sources, links to other pages, and more.
- Sometimes the web is not the best
place to begin to search. Information on the web page
needs to be complete and easy to use.
- The depth of the information from a
web site varies. Sometimes a web site may give too many
details while others fail to present enough information
about a topic.
Why does this web page exist?
- Information needs to be presented with
a minimum of bias by expressing more than one viewpoint.
- If an argument is to be successful,
information either supports or refutes the claim.
- If the intent of the web page is not
clear, advertisement or sponsors associated with the page
may give an indication to it.
Pick one of these sites and see if it meets the
OBJECTIVITY criteria.
