BLOG 5 "I KNOW THE TRUTH, SO DONT BOTHER ME WITH FACTS"

When the author “Jeffrey Kluger” in states in the article that “humans have long been dupes, and easily deceived by rumors and flat lies,” Just because many people could be easy to manipulated with insinuating pictures or inflammatory quotes. Him saying having say that make me relate and agree to his statement, because many people included myself have believe in rumors and lies, and thinking they are true. Also because I have come across people that no matter how many prove or facts of the true, they are so stubborn that they stick with what believes and what they heard before, that is sometimes is so difficult to reverse their position for simple ego.

                First of all, since my childhood I have always come across with people that loves to gossip and they are so good at it, with such a confidence that is hard not to believe them. One good example is my cousin, where she cannot be happy with her husband because every time she hears, or they tell her in person a rumor about him is always a fight since she believes every rumor out there, specially coming from her called friends, without looking at the facts or investigating furthermore how the true was. In addition to that I cannot lie, but have to admit I gotten fooled too and have believes those lies and many more without knowing if is just rumors. However I could say I have learned my lesson not to believe everything I hear; now I have to see in order to believe.

  Secondly I could agree with “Jeffrey Kluger” because there are so many people that have more confidents in rumors and they disregard the facts and the chance of daunting. People easily could be manipulated, with just any insinuating pictures or inflammatory quotes. For example people magazines and any other entertainment magazine out there no matter the language, that loves to quotes things without having the prove if it is true. They always find the way to put pictures of artist that somehow they get a perfect shot, when the artists are giving each other a kiss in their cheeks but in the picture it shows something totally different, that it looks like they are making out. Even TV shows are a perfect way to manipulate people, because I could say that probably there is an 80 percent chance that what they say is not true, and the other 20 percent it is.

Finally the passage “ I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts” give a great example in how our everyday lives are filled with rumors, gossip, people assuming and making it seen that is true. Also people who believe so deeply like they believe in their religion, which is impossible for them to reverse their beliefs and change what they think and their statements.

BLOG 3 part #2 COMPARING MY STAGEIN LIFE WITH THE CAVE.

By reading the “Allegory of the Cave” I feel that I could somehow relate to it.

Just to visualize this people lives, how they grow up in a world that the only thing
They thought it was real was the shadows they saw projected in the wall, and never
Got to see the real world in another perspective, by visualizing the real true and not  
Making a fool of them self’s. I come to relate this with my situation in this world, not only
Mines but everyone else, I feel like that in some way I’m still in the stage where I’m walking
Out into the light, and finding out of so many true of so many stories telling I grew up with.
 As I was a child, I remember how I had to wake up every Sunday morning and was told to go to
church With my grandmother, if not God was going to punish me for not obeying, or even worst
for not Believing in him. Now that I’m old enough and could make my own rules and not force to
obey My mother in that sense, and understand things more clearly that could make my own
Conclusion. I come to understand that everything she was telling me was not
true, And that if I didn’t went to church nothing would happen to me, or if I don’t believe in him.
I have come across to so many videos in you tube that talk about God, and ask people what they
Thought, that opened my mind even though not everyone had the same answers. Now that I feel that I’m walking out into the light Is because I’m starting to believe that most of the things that people talk about God are not true, Just because I’m a person that if I don’t see it with my own eyes I won’t believe. Like one thing I don’t believe I that he died and came back after three days, that the book called bible was written from him, since that’s what some people say. However who could prove me all this is right, Nobody was there to see it, and no one from that century had come back from death to say “yes I have seen God with my own eye”. Therefore I would should my path of keep walking towards the light, and and not believing that everything is true in life.

BLOG 3 ''THE ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE''

This dialectic between two men called “Socrates’’ And “Glaucon,” Where “Socrates” explains and describes the life Of a group of people that have lived their entire lives, chained to one Another and to a blank rusty blank wall in a cave. This people grow up by just looking At the shadows of subjects, and people walking by a front of a fire they had behind them, That they never knew what it was, and this shadows where reflected on the blank wall in front of them. However one of the prisoners gets the chance and was Set free, where he got to experience the real world, and figure that all his life he was Living in a lie, that the cave he would called world, wasn’t the real world, that the real World was outside the cave, where he experience and learn what was the sun, how birds Looked like, the grass, and how he learn and could understand now from where this shadows He called world came from. Although he got the knowledge of the real and the fake, this was Not enough to be humiliated by the rest of the group when he went back to the cave, trying To set the others free also from a false world they were in it. The rest of them would make Fun of him and ironically they thought he was the crazy one. Never the less he decided To go back to a better life, then to be stuck in the world called Cave and the shadows he could only see.  

BLOG 2 "I KNOW THE TRUTH, SO DON’T BOTHER ME WITH FACTS."

According to this Article by “Jeffrey Kluger” humans are an easily target to fall for rumors and flat-out lies. No matter what facts we have for rumors, they think is right. Humans will always stick with what they believe because they heard it from someone else, or because is what they deeply belief.  However it is easy to manipulate some people’s beliefs system with these facts that less than a third of people were willing to reverse their position and change their statement towards whatever they thought it was right.

BLOG 1 ''HYPE''

        ''Hype'' is a passage of advertisement, in this passage we find out how advertisement has grown over the years, and how it makes a big impact in  North America. As is instated in the passage there are every day an estimate of “2 billion display ads, 3 million radios commercials and more than 200,00 TV commercials are dump into North America.’’ This is crazy if this is only in North   America, I could imagine all over the world.

   I’m originally from Colombia, and I could tell you that is the same thing as here in America. Advertisement is one of the biggest businesses all over the world, and now with better technology and more advances we are getting, is going to get even bigger. In this passage the author show an example how every were we go there are ads, like on the trains, buses, the stations, banks, ATMS, computers, even our cell phones. Every were we go there is no scape even restaurants. I have seen most of the McDonalds how they have a big flat screen TVS, in the sitting area with flash advertisements, and even though we are eating, it could be in a group of friends or by ourselves, there would be someone who will stop eating, or talking to take a look at any ad that is showing in the screen.
   The author said “there is nowhere to run, no one is exempt and no one will spared ’’  I find this so true now days is impossible to say I would not pay attention to the ads, or walk by without looking or taking a quick pick to any of this ads out there. Even downloading video games for you cell phones you cannot escape. Now there are some free games that when you download them, right at the middle of the game or when you lose it will automatically pop-pop an advertisement, and we don’t have no other choice then read them read them while we wait for the game to show up again.
    Advertisement will always keep producing and the advertiser will always come up with new ideas to show their ads. Eventually no matter how many times we did not pay attention to many of the ads out there, but with just a glance we take, will stay in back of our brains that later in the future we would use that advertisement we saw in our advantage. Therefore the clever marketing stratefy of advertisment, will always make an impact not only to North America, but all over the world.
