available, who's to say what's actually true and what's false? If you can't tell, why not just make life easy and go with what supports your current beliefs?
So what options do we have? Many suggest that addressing the issue by reforming adult behavior is aiming too far from the source. An alternative solution is using early education to help individuals recognize these problems and apply critical(批评的) thinking to the information they consume. Currently, there is a push in the US to include Internet information classes into primary and secondary school curriculums. The movement, which has received some support, aims to make fact-checking seem like second nature to individuals at an early age.
Primary and secondary school are supposed to be supplying students with the skills they need to develop into productive, informed members of our society. As our society develops, the curriculum we are teaching our students need to develop as well. We need to go further and also instruct our youth on online information literacy(识读).
The Internet is an amazing tool, but to use it most effectively we have to accept its benefits while also understanding the ways in which it makes us vulnerable. If students are still learning dated practices such as writing in school, shouldn't they be learning how to consume the Internet responsibly as well?
