Objectivity
One of the positive sides to
Wikipedia is that most entries
are not bias in nature. Anyone
can edit the information so
having one side only details is
less likely.
5. Between these two web pages I would select
the www.livepositively.com page. While I
would encourage my students to continue
looking for different web pages, I would at
least be comfortable in knowing that Coca Cola
would need to provide accurate information by
law.
Wikipedia is a good source to get general
information, but you can’t always be sure it’s
credible.
