Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The article's framing emphasizes the negative impacts of the trade war on the US stock market. While acknowledging some positive developments like the better-than-expected unemployment report, the narrative prioritizes the negative market reactions and expert concerns about potential economic downturns. The headline (if one existed) likely would have highlighted the stock market drop, further amplifying this negative framing.
Language Bias
The article uses language that reflects the negative sentiment surrounding the trade war. Words and phrases such as "concerns," "bad news", "threat of recession", and "anxiety" contribute to a generally pessimistic tone. While these are accurate reflections of some market sentiment, the consistent use of this kind of language might subtly influence reader perception towards a more negative outlook than perhaps warranted by a completely neutral reporting.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the immediate market reactions and expert opinions regarding the trade war, but omits discussion of potential long-term economic consequences beyond the immediate market fluctuations. It also lacks detail on the specific goods affected by tariffs and the distribution of those impacts across different sectors of the American and Chinese economies. Further, the article doesn't explore alternative economic policy responses or perspectives beyond those quoted.
False Dichotomy
The article presents a somewhat simplistic eitheor scenario: either the trade war will cause a recession, or it will not. It doesn't sufficiently explore the range of potential economic outcomes that fall between these two extremes, such as a slowdown in growth or a prolonged period of stagnation. This simplification could mislead readers into thinking the situation is more binary than it is.
Gender Bias
The article mentions a female analyst, Ms. Bajja, providing an expert opinion. However, the article is largely focused on male figures, including President Trump and other male analysts and economists, and is somewhat unbalanced. More female voices could be included for a more equitable representation of expertise.
Sustainable Development Goals
The article discusses the negative impacts of trade tensions between the US and China on the American economy, including potential job losses and decreased economic growth. Increased tariffs and trade uncertainty directly affect businesses and employment prospects, hindering sustainable economic growth. The quote "آسیبهای واردشده به اقتصاد آمریکا همچنان پابرجاست" highlights the ongoing negative consequences.
