Have you ever believe in any rumors ? Does anyone has any idea what rumors can do to our society? How dangerous it can be ?  At this time, we believe in rumors and flat out lies or unverified information, even [though] we are living  in a modern society.  People has been deceived by rumors since the ancient time. In" I Know the Truth, So don't Bother me with Facts," Jeffery Klugar states that human have long been deceived and fraud by rumors and flat out lies [copying the reading]. Human easily believe in rumors but they stay their beliefs, even though they know its a lie. Ohio State University researcher conducted a study upon 750 people by two assistant professors and they found it is easy to manipulate people's belief systems with insinuating picture or inflammatory quotes and  even in the best circumstances, fewer than a third of a people were willing to reverse their position on thing, regardless of the contradictory evidence they were given. [copying the reading] I know Jeffery Kluger is right when she states that human have long been influenced and cheated by rumors because we don't really care how much proof or evidence we have for the facts of rumors to believe in it and no one like to be proven wrong.

At first, we don't really care, no matter how much proof of evidence we have about the rumors, we just believe in it without verify it. everyday in our lives, we believe in rumors; besides, we forget to verify it. we don't realize that it might be wrong, we just believe it and spread out lies. Most of the rumors spread out by different media, it might be tv, news paper, movies, or by human. whatever we see on tv or we heard from any kind of medias, we just believe in it. we think they are always right. At the present time, electronic media is one of the best medias to spread out different kind of rumors and lies because it is very powerful ; moreover, it is easy to deceive people by it. For example, during the [administration of] president W.Bush and before [the] Iraq war, all electronic media spread out rumor that president of Iraq has mass destruction of weapons and Saddam Hossain threaten the world by his weapons and we all believed in this rumors. we support him for war, but most of the people, including us, didn't verify this information about the Iraq. As a result, he went to war and we lost our soldiers and millions of Iraqi were killed, and all Iraqi structure and their freedom were demolished by us. At the end we figured out that Iraq didn't has any mass weapons. so that rumor and lies caused millions people lives and destruction, and it created many good men to a terrorist and it created more  enemies of us. We can easily realized that how bad that kind of rumors can be, and how it effects in our lives and how it spread out. we should verify and justify any kind of rumors before believe in it. [good evidence + explanation]

In addition, [What is more] no one like to be proven wrong about anything they talk and believe as a human being. To tell the truth, most of the time people wanted that as a person proves what you believe in without saying or verifying anything, even though you know that it is completely wrong.We always like to stand beside in our believe and we dont want to be proven wrong even though we get all the justified information that we are wrong in our believe of rumor. we human do it on purpose because we want to proof that we are  superior than others peoples although we know that we are in lies and we are totally wrong and we do it because some people or country has more power or superiority over other peoples and countries. For example, in our country we say that this is the country of freedom and it is established for freedom of religion. our country amendment says every one in the United States has right to perform their religions perfectly. but in my neighbor in our mosque we are not allowed to perform athan( calling muslims to the prayer)  loudly, but people are allowed to play music loudly or churches are allowed to ring the bell loudly. whenever we claim about it and ask for permission to the city, they showed us many reasons, even though they knew that they are totally wrong and they have power and they dont wanted to be proven wrong to us. we should have respect to all religions and care about their right. we should get rid of stubborn idea. Most of the time, media shows that muslims are terrorist because some so called muslim may be accused of attacking the world trade centre and till now it is not 100% proven. maybe it was a rumor by government or maybe it is something else. [Jump in ideas--you need a transitional idea here to move from prejudice against Muslims to Hitler] Hitler. Mussolini killed millions of jews and people , they were Christian , because of it we cant say all the Christian are like them or they are terrorist like Hitler. most of the time, rumors area full of lies and its proven. Nowadays many people say muslim are terrorist even though they dont have any kind of true knowledge of islam, they say because they have power and money and they dont want to be proven wrong; more over they are doing it for their own purpose and their greediness [do not leave a strong claim such as this with no evidence+ explanation].

In conclusion, i think beliefs have a big influence in our lives such as how we live , dressed, how we work, i believe that we good to have beliefs that could be supported by truth or verified facts. we always should verify the facts or any rumors because false beliefs could be dangerous for human lives , for our society and for our country.

Not bad, mamun, not bad. As I said for "hype," you have the general idea of what must be done.

To work on:

1. making sure you do not copy the reading wne summarizing.

2. referring back to the reading in your body paragraphs.

3. Grammar: subject-verb agreement and comma splices. Do at least TWO exercises for each of these issues from the exercises under the tab "Writing and Grammar Links" on the Brave New World blog.
