Blog Entry 6

                                      I know the Truth

 
Humans have long been foolishness, easily tricked by rumors and beleive lies. This weakness has been on full display recently a research accomplished at Ohio state University conducted a study to determine how sticky such false beliefs are and what it takes to free people from believing them. when people try to take time for learning the facts, the effort they do is not even close to good.
           Firstly, If we talk about the facts we know what to do and where to go but as we can  see some people believe their own religion and do totally different thing what even their religion don’t tell them to do so.Religion says don’t lie but people are lying too many times .On the other hand according to Hinduism there is a rule called “sati dhaha” it says if husband died wife should should die too and they killed the wife and burn the wife with her husband. So as we can see people are following it blindly.

           Secondly, in the new study, two professor named R. Kelly Garret and Erik Nisbet from ohio state university, recruited 750 people who reported being familier with and believing at lest one of the rumors about the proposed Islamic center. They then set about to determine whether exposure to the facts of the case would change their opinions and if so, how best those facts should be presented. While Garret and Nisbet were disturbed by how easy it is to manipulate people thought with insinuating pictures or inflammatory quotes.

            Thirdly, when people do take time to learn the facts, the effort often does no good. However, people love to believe blindly even though they know what is good and what is wrong. But they don’t want to use their brain and they feel comfort to follow what path religion is showing them even though its good or bad they don’t want to judge it. That’s how human made off.

             Finally, we may not always agree on what those facts but at a minimum we need to agree that they mean more than fantasy. No matter what the scans and other studies reveal, of course, it is up to us to find a place in a world of facts and make our decisions based on that information. At least if we hope to get anything accomplished.
