Blog 3: Summary of I know the truth

In the article “I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts” by Jeffrey Kluger states that, its hard to try to change the way that people beliefs. According to professors R. Kelly Garret and Erik Nisbet from Ohio State University they said, that is easier to deceive people with false information just by showing to them any type of strategies such as pictures and that they'll believe more in false information or rumors, then believe in someone that is telling the truth with facts. People tends to believe in rumors because they just don't want to bother themselves by finding out the truth, becoming dependable from others. Moreover, i agree with the Kluger, when he states that it is hard to try to convince or change people beliefs, because most of the people don't like to be wrong in front of others and they can also have some type of stubborn personality.

Furthermore, there are many reasons of why its hard to manipulate those people that don't like to be wrong in front of others and why people have stubborn personality. Per example, many people believe more in their ego than in anything else. The reason of why they think like that is depending in their lifestyle, culture, religion, experiences or just because the have some type of fear or scared to be tell wrong in front of others. [You are listing reasons rather than supporting one reason with evidence].

Afterwards, stubborn personality plays an important role because those people that they are always right, without known that acting like that they become more ignorant. They completely close their eyes and mind to the world by refusing to change their mind or beliefs about any idea. Stubborn people will always defends their own ideas and the way that they think, even thought, they can see the truth with facts. [General; you need detail here]

Nevertheless, based on the article, i believe that is so difficult to try to change people beliefs, because most of the people have a very hard understanding mind to learn logical thoughts with facts specially when they already known it without facts. Last of all, they way people thinks or believe can also be related with their lives experiences or sometimes just for a simple thing that they wont like to be wrong in front of others.

As with your response to "Hype," the structure is there. What you need now is to work on clear topic sentences, evidence, explanation, and quotations from the reading.
