Answers
Following is the evaluation:-
Explanation:
The role of own belief is such that when a person has his/her own set of beliefs and ideologies, that tends to construct his/her pattern of thinking, perception, way of life and his decision making process.
Apart from that, what the world perceives adds pressure and influence, which is commonly known as societal pressure.
When media reporting is done, one must be ethical in his/her dealings and be a non partisan and neutral person, however when influenced by worldview, i.e. popular view, the reporter may do bias reporting.
