ANSWER: Suggested Answer: Vicarious experience can help by providing you with experience you may not have had. Therefore, reading a book or watching a movie about teachers may show you intriguing aspects of the profession. However, one must also remember that the vicarious experience you gain from reading a book or watching a movie may not always be completely realistic. In literature, movies, and other art forms, particular facets are emphasized to create interest, so the actual book or movie may not be factually correct in every detail.
