3. What is the most common supporting evidence used by both sides? (EX: over 50% of the pro-choice articles cite the bible, scientific findings, or polls, etc.”
- Temperature data and measurable information
- Historical evidence
4. Does any article use Cialdini’s 6 persuasive strategies, descriptive norms, and/or injunctive norms in any form? If so, please elaborate as to practice linking theories to real-world examples. If not, please put down N/A
- Most of the articles will use Authority to back up their facts and ideas about how this will effect the reader.
- Some articles rely on Social Proof by implying that everyone on earth has a responsibility and is working to fix the problem, (ie: entire countries taking steps to reduce pollution)
- Scarcity is also used in a few that reference our only earth.
- Liking : N/A
- Reciprocity : N/A
- Consistency : N/A
5. What is the ontological nature of both frames? In other words, how are the two sides viewing the core of the issue differently? (EX: Proponents of pro-life believe that life begins at conception, hence abortion is killing and should thus not be legalized. Whereas proponents of pro-choice believe that life begins at birth, hence what a woman wants to do to her body is her choice and the state should not interfere. In essence, the two sides differ in how they define “life.”)
- Global Warming focuses more on the consequences of the world heating up and not as much on the cause of it. Noting several times in different articles that there is historical precedence and this is inevitable.
- Climate Change seems to focus more on reducing emissions and reducing the human impact on the world.
- It should be noted that the ontological representation of both of these concepts are close and interchangeable for many, leading to a highly objective viewpoint on the framing of these concepts.
6. If you were to write a news article on the topic, what would a “neutral frame” look like? Please explain.
- A neutral frame in this particular scenario would be difficult to achieve because the definition of the base frame is subject to the objective interpretation of the reader. Both Global Warming and Climate Change carry very similar messages to many and are often used interchangeably. A truly neutral frame can never be achieved because of the shifting ambiguity of their defined interpretation in the public eye. The closest to a neutral framing would be long term raw data. This data would include findings from studies both about the previous states of the warming and cooling of the earth and the current state of the temperature of the earth as influenced by human beings’ actions.
