...• Do information media have social responsibility? If yes, in what ways? If no, why not? Yes, I think information media does or at least should have social responsibility. Generally, people rely on these types of media for information about all kinds of things. Politics, crime, natural disasters, and news in general. If an information media source inaccurately reports information, then the public is left with false information that they may perceive as truth. This could lead to issues, such as people being upset and even contacting public figures to change or even prevent things from happening, that are not actual problems. For example, in the Tool Wire lab, one of the people I communicated with mentioned a law she had heard about that would raise taxes on small businesses, effectively, putting her out of business. She stated she had heard about the law online in a podcast. She planned to contact her local representatives to stop this law. Unfortunately, she had not further researched the accuracy of that pod cast and therefore the information could have likely been false. So while she and others, were contacting the representatives, filing petitions etc. Other things could have been happening that the representative should have been addressing! Due to situations like this, I think information media needs to be responsible for what they report and how! If a source is bias, I think it needs to be up front about that. Also, all contributor or reporters need to have credentials...

...so-called "Mill's methods" are five rules for investigating causes that he has proposed. § S05.1 The Method of Agreement | The best way to introduce Mill's methods is perhaps through an example. Suppose your family went out together for a buffet dinner, but when you got home all of you started feeling sick and experienced stomach aches. How do you determine the cause of the illness? Suppose you draw up a table of the food taken by each family member : Member / Food taken | Oyster | Beef | Salad | Noodles | Fallen ill? | Mum | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Dad | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Sister | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes | You | Yes | No | Yes | No | Yes | Mill's rule of agreement says that if in all cases where an effect occurs, there is a single prior factor C that is common to all those cases, then C is the cause of the effect. According to the table in this example, the only thing that all of you have eaten is oyster. So applying the rule of agreement we infer that eating oyster is the cause of the illnesses. § S05.2 The Method of Difference | | Now suppose the table had been different in the following way: Member / Food taken | Oyster | Beef | Salad | Noodles | Fallen ill? | Mum | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Dad | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Sister | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | You | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No | In this particular case you are the only one who did not fall ill.
