Why you are seeing more fake photos and videos in your social media feeds Imagine you are shown a picture of a protest and asked What is going on in this picture?" You say, "It looks like a climate march." When asked, "what is it that you see makes you say that it is a climate march?", you point to the signs. Others notice the police presence, the age of the crowd, the place where it's happening or the lighting. Early classroom observations in the 1990s revealed that children carried these reasoning habits beyond the art class, asking, "what's going on in this text?" or "in this maths problem?" Learners internalise this protocol and apply it intuitively to other activities in their everyday lives. The questions above – and others you might ask – will help you understand what's depicted, and deepen your thinking about this image."
