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.
