Grandmother of 15 reported dead after eating cat food.
A friend told me their sweet, old and beloved cat of 15 years died the other day. Over the course of her 15 years, she ate quite a lot of cat food. Her grandkittens will miss her.
What is the point?
When making a decision, ambiguity can lead one to great misunderstanding. How many assumptions did you make about the statement “Grandmother of 15 reported dead after eating cat food.”?
- Grandmother was a human
- Cat food was tainted
- Death caused by cat food
- Grandmother had 15 grandchildren
Try this tonight:
Read, listen to or watch the news reports. Write down all the ambiguous statements that you hear. Then think about how that influences your thinking and deciding about the news stories.
