Short relevant videos for discussion - write down some notes on the questions below:

• What suggestions does the speaker make for being good media consumers?

• What is a "filter bubble"?
• Who were the traditional "gatekeepers" and what has taken their place?
• What problems does this phenomenon cause for modern society?

• According to the video, why are liberals and conservatives so divided?
• How can we have better political conversations?
• Do you see a similar phenomenon in your country?
