ENG099: ENG099: The article "Individuals in Groups" by Car...:
I am very surprised by reading this article, where people are observed acting in an emergency scenario, and how their reactions are when they have to solve a problem in an accident. Some experiments with students in groups of three and individually are exposed acting in two different scenarios. One of them, in a room full of smoke and the other, watching a woman screaming of pain. The analysis showed how human being react different in group than on their own. Their natural instinct reaction to act are blocked in groups but the reaction is different for individual person, they act faster in a danger scenario. I believe most of us have had similar experiences acting or watching people acting on an emergency.

ENG099: The article "Individuals in Groups" by Carol Tavri...: I was very surprised reading this article,where people were observed how they act in an emergency scenario. Indeed I have never thought why our behavior are different when we act in group or individually. I believe most of us have had similar experiences acting or watching people acting on an emergency.

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.

They affirm that is easy to manipulate other point of view and what they believe even if those people are confronted, their belief and their answer become better.

    The author of the article "Hype" tell us about how advertisements are the first sight to people every day. People weak up in the morning and get advertisement and during the whole day everywhere, such as, on television and on the radio. People get commercials in their minds as poison. They receive thousand of marketing messages permanently and it increases absurdity. People go out and drive their car and see advertisements everywhere. They drive through the country way and the view is broken in some intervals by giant billboards. Life change and there is nowhere to run, advertisements have a big influence in people's mind.
  
   I strongly believe that advertisements have changed our life in several aspects. First of all, television commercials invite people to buy a lot of products from different sources that people can not avoid to watch every day. People early in the morning even on the radio listen commercials many times between news or songs and people brain is contagious of that. People on the street can see different sights even landscape than before. Nowadays, people life is totally different and full of billion of advertisements everywhere and unfortunately they have to go on in this advertisement world.
