“I know the Truth, So Don’t Bother Me With Facts” by Jeffrey
kluger, was published in “in time” on October 29,2010. Title essay focused on
people believing in rumors and flat-out-lies.
According to the kluger, March which was held in down town
Manhattan, says that “human have long been dupes, easily deceived by rumors and
flat-out-lies.” Research study at Ohio State says that people tent to follow
false easily.
It is true and I
agree with author’s point of view, that people are easily believed in rumors
and flat-out-lies. People never care about the one who are suffering. They just
follow the rumors, without even knowing the truth. Certain people are being
viewed in suspicious way, everywhere they go. As a result those people have to
struggle and prove themself as innocent. So it’s better not to judge other
people without even knowing them, and nobody has any right to make their life
miserable.
According to professor R.Kelly Garrett and Erik Nisbet, they
will study people who believe rumor about the proposed Islamic culture. They
want to check whether they will change their concept or not. If not than
professor will try to convince the fact so that people who believe in rumors
can go through it.
Professor Garret and Nisbet face two difficulties they said
that it is easy to change people belief through changing out look or performing
and strong response even in best explanation 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-out-lies, the investigators came upto studying
on each people brain performance. Specially working on prefrontal context and
amygdala which play an important role to solve the problem and fell certain
emotion respectively.
The essay was really interesting. I am a girl from Nepal,
grown up In Buddhist family. It is true that Buddha was born in Nepal In
kaplivastu district. The news forecast in one of the indian news that Buddha
was born in India makes me aggressive and disappointment. Actually it’s not
only me, we all Nepalese people are disappointed. I joined laguardia college,
where I attend CSE 099. I used a book “opining the door” there authors mention
that Buddha was born in India makes me shocked. How people believe in rumors.
Beside investigating and knowing truth author easily believe in rumor which is
not true. The authors make it clear that many people involves in lies.
The essay was most educational. I learned that
rather than believing in rumors or flats-out-lies, we have to know the truth.
Telling lies and starting rumors cause trouble. It is best to be honest.
