What reflects a view that all college students should be evaluated based on their affiliation with social movements?

The correct answer focuses on a way of evaluating students that simplifies complex issues into basic, often sensationalized narratives. Tabloid thinking involves reducing nuanced topics, such as students' abilities or worth, to their participation in social movements, often overlooking the broader context of their individual experiences and achievements. This approach tends to emphasize emotional appeal and readily digestible information, rather than a detailed, critical analysis of a student's academic and personal qualifications.

This choice implies a tendency to create a binary perspective where students are categorized based on their involvement in social movements—highlighting either support or opposition to specific causes—rather than assessing their overall capabilities or contributions to the academic community. This perspective may neglect the importance of varied backgrounds, interests, and competencies that students bring to their educational environments.
