Is everything that we know about the world that we live in true ?!
Let’s start with a simple example, as we are international students. All of us were expecting a lot of things about the other nationalities, which we realised were wrong after we met people all over the world. For example, the stereotype about the Colombian people is that they are drug dealers , involved in any kind of criminal activities and they are aggressive, and so on. But when we met them they were totally different from our expectation. They were kind, tolerant and friendly. The same thing is with other nationalities. the French are very romantic and they barely take a shower, the Chinese are too intelligent, the Arabs are stinking rich and terrorists. All of us know that is not true - unless you are stubborn- and the reality is something completely different. All those things were implanted into our heads by an intellectual weapon called the media.
Yes the media is the biggest liar in the world. The media nowadays seems to show the fallacy as a truth. Do you think that you know everything about the world ?! Do you know that around 500 children die starving every day in some areas such as Nigeria and Somalia ? Do you know that there is fierce war in Syria these days which is causing 200 innocent people to die a day? I advise all of us to search about the reality and don't completely rely on the media information. the media show us what their owner want to show and hide what they don’t want from the people to know
