Every STAKEHOLDER in a controversy has a particular point of view or BIAS.
Consulting as many stakeholders as possible, guarantees you a fresh, strong diversity of opinions to consider before you make up your mind.
For example -
The legal driving age - should it be changed to 15?
Each of the following stakeholders would have a unique point of view.
15-year-olds
- Their parents
- Insurance companies
- Automobile manufacturers
- University researchers
- BC Ministry of Health
- Doctors who work in emergency rooms at hospitals.
TO DO: For the example above, discuss what you predict the bias of the stakeholders would be. FOR or AGAINST AND WHY. Submit it to your teacher for approval.
