BLOG# 6






In my opinion what Truman was living is something everyone would enjoy, to experience a life with no type of violence or any bad habits. I don't think my life or anyone else's is compared to the life in Seahaven, it is a life that we only see in movies or shows something invented from people to satisfy humankind. I think that we only live that life when we're kids because we don't see how the world really is, we're to young to realize the truth.I would prefer to live somewhere where I know I'm not being lied to constantly and live somewhere where everything is not just make believe that's why I wouldn't live in the world Cristoff created. It is not healthy to live a life in a place where everything is perfect because then you won't learn the reality of life and the real struggle people yet go threw. We probably can see hope living a life like that but at the end it is not reality it is just a myth people would like to live.

How would you feel if you were lied to constantly? Extremely upset right? Unfortunately people are lied to every day by false theories the world is generating. I think what Jeffrey Kluger states is true, people are imposed to hearing so many lies they can’t believe the truth anymore.


I think that people create lies to get away with things in an easy way, it can be to sell something , prove an false allegation etc. Garret and Nisbet assisting professors of communication at Ohio State University have reported that it is easy to manipulate people’s belief by just demonstrating pictures or stirring quotes. I believe that people are being manipulated by facts that others are creating, people think that just by seeing you should believe , but don’t realize some things are just completely false. They also states that “fewer people were willing to reverse their positions, regardless of the contradictory evidence they were given” that gives me the impression that people are being brain washed easily.




Also, I agree that people don't like admitting that they're wrong. It is hard for them to admit it because they do not want to accept that they're being humiliated by the own lies they are creating.I live with people who everyday believe in something which is false, who sometimes are deeply devoted towards something and if you try arguing with them to make them understand they have the tendency to get furious.Everywhere we're seeing people act like they have the power to heal someone but people are just being hypnotized by the lies.In my opinion it is clear that things can get worst and unfortunately it will impact the younger generation more.


I conclusion things can get worst, because people one day will get tired of the lies and may revolt.This is affecting society and apparently people don't care.We need to stop believing in facts that are shown to us before things get worst.

 *Claim:
           I believe that people have been living off from lies and unfortunately the truth is not being used constantly.Religion is part of the lives of all, but now a days its hard to believe whose right or not.

 Reason 1:
           - Many Religion have been created to satisfy societies belief.
 Reason 2: 
           - In some religion I've realised that they try to make you donate a certain amout of money and if they do donate they think that God will forgive their sins.
 Reason 3:
         -My cousin is involved in a religion which takes away at least 20% of his paycheck every 2 weeks.


I think It is hard to believe in many things that people show us, but it is in our hands to stop the lies and not keep being fooled with the same nonsence over and over. People need to realised that everything has their skeem and people can go low not caring for others and what these lies do to you.

According to "The Allegory of the Cave" by Plato, Socrates a great philosopher is trying to explain how these group of prisoners were chained since birth and had never seen the light of the sun. They kept seeing shadows in the walls from the fire and listening to voices but never knew there was another life across those walls. Finally a prisoner was released from its slavery and noticed a brighter light than the one he was used to, He realised that the world he had grown up from wasn't real but the one he had just seen was. The man went back to the cave to inform the other prisoners about what he had discovered but they were not interested with what  he was saying they only belived in what they thought it was real(the shadows, and voices on the walls).












Everyone goes threw moments where you just feel like there's no escape no matter what direction your looking at, and I feel the same way at times, I feel like I'm chained to my job and its hard to let loose, but being aware that there are more opportunities out there and I'm not making an effort to loosen myself from it. Sometimes I feel drained and disappointed when I see that people are making more than I am and that they're succeeding in life when I should be doing the same. Unfortunately I'm not the only one who is chained but my co-workers feel the same, if I'm in the position I am is because I feel afraid to brake those chains and move on. My plan is to break them soon and hopefully get a better treatment, not looking back at the position I was in.

                              "I know the Truth, So don't Bother Me with Facts "


According to the passage from Jeffrey Kluger "I know the truth, so don't bother me with facts" states that humans have long been duplicates by rumors and lies and sometimes is very easy to do so. The passage states that a study was made just to determine how such false beliefs and allegations are made and what does it take to free people from believing in these. Secondly it states how easy it is to be able to manipulate people and their beliefs with just showing pictures and false quotes and allegations, just to make them believe in something that is not real and even if people try to take the time to learn these facts the effort is not as good as it should. The author Kluger, also states that when subjects are presented with data that contradicts their beliefs, they often lead to a situation responding to an inclination to present a partial perspective because no one likes to admit they’re wrong.

BLOG# 1 :

According to Kalle Lasp advertisements are shown everywhere you go, not only visibly but we hear them as well. In my opinion "Ads' are made to make the viewer consume more of they're product.

These adevertisements are just looking for a way to make people spend they're money. Anywhere you go you'll find any kind of "ad" around and its not only located in gas stations, fast food restaurants but in schools as well and that's a way to make kids spend their allowance on unnecessary things. In my opinion I don't think its right for kids to be around "ads' all the time especially if its a junk food ad or a candy ad, that's making kids grow up with health complications.There are some advertisements which are very useful but these are very rare to see.

When you see an advertisement in a store the first thing you think is if you need it and moments later you realize you have it in your hands without realizing its just a skeem from companies to sell their products.For example my friends son had seen a toy on display  and this toy was no where to be found, the child was crying hysterically and screaming in the store, his mother drove everywhere to find it and at last she did. Not only this had an impact towards her sons mood but towards the mother as well because she just wanted to please his behavior.

Most of these ads have a message to show but other's don't and for this reason I do not think 'ads' should be up everywhere. Things keep changing as the years go by and I honestly don't think they're were so many companies advertising as there is today. As the author states everyday there are more ads adding up into our sights from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep. People haven't realized the absurdity of this and some unfortunately don't even care. Ads are not only affecting the adults but the kids as well. Ads should be cut down a little more so that way people can spend less money on unnecessary things.

In conclusion ads are not to motivating towards society, its just creating things to get worst not only in America but in the world as well. With ads all around us it just makes everyone "hype" and we don't see how much these are affecting us. Something should be done about this, if not things can just get worst.
