BLOG 8 "I Know the Truth, so Don't Bother Me with Facts"

   I definitely agree with author Jeffrey Kluger. I strongly believe it is really easy to deceive or at least change people's opinion. Today there are a few main way to change people's mind such as TV and radio broadcast. By this broadcast it is easy the change a mass of people at the same time.
  I think TV and Radio broadcast might be very dangerous if we don't use them right. Especially for politicians TV and radio is the most important device to reach people. Back in day we all saw how politician change people's opinion and made them agree with their opinions by using TV and radio. But this is not true. Because mostly people use those device to get to true news. I  have recently seen even news has big lies on the TV. It was tree days ago and  I was watching news on a Turkish channel. In the news it was saying an American war plane was hit by soldiers in Libya. But same news was different in American channels. It says an American war plane crashed because of a technical problem. I really don't know which one is true and which one that i have to believe. There is a only one true but two different news.
   However sometimes it might be hard to change people's opinion because of  information pollution. Because something or somebody made them believe in that. For example religions. There are four big religion and some other small religions in the world and people believe in these religions. Maybe they all go same target from different way but it is really hard to explain to people. Because they all believe that their own religion is right.First religion showed up in the world about three thousand years ago and since that they people used to lived in peace only two hundred forty five years.
   On the other hand it is easy to control people if they are uneducated or narrow minded. But if we educate people i believe that people can live in peace because they all are going to know the truth. So if we can find real truth and if the truth is one people may start to live in peace evidently they are going to learn same truth and live together such as ancient Greeks.
  As a result people might change their opinion if they find the truth and can live all together in peace.Even if we  they stubbornly support their opinion they have to respect each other. I believe this respect hold people together.
