Simple Course Project

Today, the prevalence of social media, the rise of algorithms, filter bubbles, bots, and international hacking efforts have brought the issue of fake news to the forefront of our national and international consciousness.  As you read in the webtext this week, the spread of misinformation is not an entirely new problem and it does not have one simple solution. However, there are changes all information consumers can make to how they engage with stories, facts, and data that can lead us from a post-truth world to a pro-truth world.

Read Katy Steinmetz’s ,  and viewing all of Professor Alex Edmans TED Talk What to Trust in a Post-Truth World, use link below:

create an initial post that responds to each of the prompts below:

  • Edmans argues that confirmation bias causes us to believe information that confirms our point of view, which sometimes leads to accepting and sharing information that is fake, misleading, or misrepresentative. Think of an example of this from your own life. How did confirmation bias shape your understanding of an issue?
  • Give some specific strategies to explain how we can move beyond confirmation bias to make sure what were accepting and sharing is true.  
  • Who do you think bears the primary responsibility for stopping the spread of fake news, information consumers, information producers, or the government?  

Your post should include at least one outside source (and an accompanying citation) to support your points.

Clinician (Counselor) Burnout

/in /by

Many clinicians and mental health professionals share certain personality traits. Usually, they are empathetic, driven, determined, and emotionally invested in their patients. But these same personality traits that help them do their jobs well also place them at risk for clinician burnout.

Describe one personality trait of yours that may put you at risk for burnout in the future. How do you plan on addressing this and managing your stress level so that you do not experience burnout? (If you do not feel comfortable discussing your own personality traits, you may choose any of the traits listed above.)

In a world where it seems people do not care enough about others, take advantage of everything (and often every one) that they can, and are even downright mean quite often –  I would have to say that mine is that I care too much, am overly sympathetic, and perhaps have too much empathy.
