I know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me With Facts by Jeffrey Kluger, was published in "In Time" on October 29,2010.
   According to Kluger, a march which was held in downtown Manhattan, says that "Humans have long been dupes, easily deceived by rumor and flat-outs-lies."Yes it is true that from long time people are easily believe in rumors and flat-outs-lies. Research study at Ohio state says that people tent to follow the false easily.      
  According to professor R.Kelly Garrett and Erik Nisbet, they will study about people who believe rumor about the proposed Islamic cultural center. They want change whether the fact will change their concept or not. If not then professor will try to convince the fact so that people who believe in rumors can go through it.
  While, it is true that people never try to understand the reality and facts, once they get information with incident happening than they stick with that fact even though it's not true. They never realize how people suffer from their belief. Recently i watch a bollywood movie, "My Name is Khan but im not a terrorist." which actually base on how Muslim family suffer after 9/11 in their living life. The family are being suffering from suspicious where ever they go and being living their life in a bad impression in community. The hero a muslim man, he is a innocent and a simple man. Even though he is a innocent and simple he is always target from those people who believe in rumors that all Muslims are terrorist. which is not true. The movie really touch me.
   Professor Garret and Nisbet face two difficulties they said that It is easy to change people belief through changing out look or performing strong response. and even in a best circumstance only one by third people were willing to change their decision with keeping or focusing on their point of view.
  In some case because of egoistic character people stick upon their words. They never try to know the facts. In journey of teaching people, not to belief in rumors and flat-outs-lies, the investigators came up to studying on each people brain performance. specially working on their prefrontal cortext and amygdala which play an important role to solve problem and fell certain emotion respectively.
 According to my my knowledge regarding prefrontal context and amygdala, prefrontal context lie on the front part of our brain. It's main function is to solve problem responding upon the data through senses. It  play important role to make decision whether it it is right or wrong. Amygdala it is an almond shape. it help to feel emotion and shows in human behavior. it play an important role in people personality.
 To make any decision people must go with detail, truth and facts rather than  believing in rumors and flat-outs-lies.
