Blog Entry 5: I know the Truth

People always don’t like being duped because the feeling is badly. Some people know the truth will be hurt them, they also want to know it. Other people hope to be protected, even though they are duped. But I think when people know that everyone know truth, and just self don’t know, I believe they can’t accept because most people think the fact is very important for them. I agree with the author that although people are easily duped by rumors and lies, people should know facts, because the flat-out lie and rumors make some people don't believe again, and people should accept facts although they believe that they are wrong.

According to Jeffrey Kluger in the article “I know the Truth, so Don’t Bother Me with Facts.” People easily duped by rumors and lies. At Ohio State University, They study what it makes it free people from believing. There are 750 people believe at least one rumors. And then tell them facts to change their opinions. Garret and Nisbet have two difficult conclusions; first, give insinuating pictures or inflammatory quotes to control people's belief. Second, even have best environment; also have one person to reverse his positions and contradictory evidence. Although people take to learn the facts, the effort doesn't must to be good. Some people are ego, they don't like to admit they are wrong, but some investigators are considered.

In the life, there are most rumors and flat-out lies. For the rumors, we don’t know which is true, most people in order to check them to go to adventure. For flat-out lies, some people give wrong information to mislead. If people listen more and more, people should not believe others. For example, my parents are very old-fashioned. When I live in the New York by myself, and my parents live in the China. There wasn’t parents’ restriction, I would go out to club, and play with my friends. When parents asked me why did I not at home, or why did I come back home later, I always lied to them that I was at school, or at friend’s home. Sometimes, parents would ask me what did I do stay at my friends home, I always said good things such as we talked about we would transfer which college, how to find a good job, or our dreams to them. One time, my lies were debunked, and then, they did not believe me. When I told them true, they are always doubtful of me. When we say a lie, we need use more and more lies to explain the lie. At one day, when we don’t lie, we don’t know how to explain the true thing, and other people maybe don’t believe your saying.

Some facts are hard accepting to people because the face is far for people thoughts, but people have power to know fact. People always think that most people agree the thing is true, they don't know some faces grasp in a few people. People also should know that to think which one is right. Through time pass, there are more and more people to prove the face. Let other people believe. For example, as long ago as 260 B.C., the Greek astronomer Aristechus said that the Earth moves with the Sun, but nobody believed him. At this time, the religion gave him death penalty. Until A.D. 1728, almost 2000 years, the British astronomer James Bradly was proved that the Earth is sure around with the Sun to move. However, people always know what the truth.


In conclusion,. When people face truth, people should think more and more that about the possibility of the things, and don’t blindly believe that all people think of “the truth.” People should believe themselves heart, and brave to face the fact.
