I Know the Truth, So Don’t Bother Me with Facts

As human being, we are easily influenced by rumors according to the article “I Know the Truth, So Don’t Bother Me with Facts” by Jeffrey Kluger tells us how human being mind change permanently. The author says that two researchers from “Ohio State University”   made a study on 750 people spreading a fake rumor to see human mind reaction. They affirm that is easy to manipulate other point of view and what they believe in. We can change our point conducted for our instincts without see whether the source of rumor is true or false.

 
We do not want to be wrong when we want to make a decision.  We might think different from others about any topic or believes, it could be a discord between them.  People have some basic knowledge from their childhood which makes them trusting their memory instead of reversing their opinion.  When I was a child, my mother usually told me that don’t talk with a stranger, however, one day I made a mistake, and I went outside without her permission on unusual hour.  As a result of my behavior, my watch was stolen by a strange.  Fortunately, I did not get any injuries from those robbers at that place; it really made me nerves and scare.  Those men had knives in their hands and pushed me to give to them my watch. If you are a little kid, you have to listen what your mom said.

            
           Indeed, we are easily manipulated by a lot of sources of advertisement, for example, some people believe what they read by media advertisement to use products to lose extra pounds in a short period of time. Advertisements influence and manipulate us to buy two products for one price apparently and all the time. They show some commercials with fake pictures of models who apparently lost weight quickly and we believe on that. Our mine are influenced and changed constantly to make a decision by the product in fashion.
          
           We want to express our ideas and beliefs to be accepted for others. Although, a lot of and contrary opinions are coming up to change what we believe in. We still keep what we do and trust.  So when some of us are facing the truth what they truly reject, they will not accept that at all.  We have our own ego about this world so that we would not like being told we are wrong.

          We should be careful of what other people are telling us because we don’t know when it is truth or false.  The best that we can do it is sometimes heard our cognition. Most of the times, it tells us what we have to do as human beings.  We have the right to verify other point of view, and change our minds based on our belief and conveniences.
