            The following appeared in a health newsletter.
            "Nosinia is an herb that many users report to be as effective as prescription medications at fighting allergy symptoms. Researchers recently compared Nosinia to a placebo in 95 men and women with seasonal allergies to ragweed pollen. Participants in the study reported that neither Nosinia nor the placebo offered significant relief. However, for the most severe allergy symptoms, the researchers reported that Nosinia was more effective than the placebo in providing relief. Furthermore, at the end of the study, participants given Nosinia were more likely than participants given a placebo to report feeling healthier. We, therefore, recommend using Nosinia to help with your severe allergy symptoms."

              • How reliable is the study's sample size?
              • How does the severity of symptoms affect the results?
              • Was the placebo truly effective in reducing allergy symptoms?
              • Is there any independent evidence for Nosinia’s effectiveness?

              The following appeared as a letter to the editor from the owner of a skate shop in Central Plaza.
              "Two years ago the city council voted to prohibit skateboarding in Central Plaza. They claimed that skateboard users were responsible for litter and vandalism that were keeping other visitors from coming to the plaza. In the past two years, however, there has been only a small increase in the number of visitors to Central Plaza, and litter and vandalism are still problematic. Skateboarding is permitted in Monroe Park, however, and there is no problem with litter or vandalism there. In order to restore Central Plaza to its former glory, then, we recommend that the city lift its prohibition on skateboarding in the plaza."

                • What is the current level of litter and vandalism in Central Plaza?
                • How much foot traffic has increased in Monroe Park compared to Central Plaza?
                • Has the local economy in the plaza improved since the ban on skateboarding?
                • How successful has the Monroe Park skateboarding program been in other cities?

                “Color photography has eliminated the need for realism in artistic painting, in the opinion of a number of art scholars and artists. At the same time, many members of the art community still feel that realistic artwork is still valuable and worthwhile.”

                  • Agree, because color photography has eliminated the need for realistic art.
                  • Disagree, as realism in art serves as an important expression of human creativity.
                  • Agree, but only in some cases, color photography does not affect all artistic forms.
                  • Disagree, as traditional forms of art hold inherent value independent of color photography.

                • 6.
                  The primary role of the media should be to inform the public rather than to entertain.
