Telling Real from Fake can be really Important
December 19, 2018
The TED video talks about how to tell the difference between fiction and real. And it really should opens people’s eyes because, the video teaches people to look at the situation closer. Especially journalists and teenagers, they really have to look closer and make sure they have the right facts, wether they’re gossiping or they’re writing an article. And people feel that for teenagaers, and journalists, it’s always important to make sure it’s all facts and that they get the information from a trustworthy resource. Because people believe that journalists are to be real and factual, because they get their information from them, whether its news, gossip,etc..
To tell real from fake is very important because while writing an article they can’t just wing it. They have to prove their information. They have to look at the picture a little more closely because as the TED video said, there are a lot of fake photos out there so they really have to do a lot of research to make sure it’s real. And that takes time.
Teenagers tend to mix things up a lot. When a rumour goes around it’s like a game of telephone, as the rumour goes student by student what actually happened seems to get lost. Wether someone misheard it, or someone just changes it to make it worse for who the rumour is about. It’s not only teenagers it’s all ages. As a teenager I know it’s not that hard at all to get mixed up.
Just be careful where you get your information, this goes for everyone.
