Self Profile Assignment
Introduction:
Although I often share my opinion about news thinking that it is an opinion I created, there are many factors that have helped to shape my perspective, and make it what it is today. My parents, a Canadian news source and travelling the world are all important factors that have had a profound impact on my perspective. Being self aware about how your views of the world have been affected by others is exceedingly important, and something everyone should be aware of.
Factors That Have Influenced My Perspective:
Although news and current world events, are often things I primarily watch or read on my own, my parents have made a significant things. It is hard following news and world issues, when you are quite …show more content…
The article is about the EU offering more money for turkey camps, in order for them to take in more refugees. The article showed just how copious the amount of people who left Syria for new lives is. Although Turkey’s economy is not as robust as it has been before, it is not a country which is in a large state of economic turmoil. Despite the fact that the article is primarily statistical and demographic, my parents, the news source and travelling, have all had a large impact on my perspective. My parents often share their input on the migrant crisis, and almost have the stance that the EU is not doing close to enough to help the immigrants.

The perspective of a citizen of Turkey on the article rather than my perspective, is completely different, and it is important for everyone to know why. Having your own perspective is extremely important, but being self aware of what has influenced your opinion, takes it one step further, and is something everyone should be knowledgeable
