Blog3. I Know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me with Facts.

            Even though people know fact, why do they waver by rumors? In [the] article, "I Know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me with Facts", Jeffrey Kluger states that humans easily believe rumors. In the study at Ohio State University, R.Kelly Garrett and Erik Nisbet make people believe rumors that Islamic cultural center build in Ground zero, even though it is not true. They meet two conclusions that are handling people's belief and circumstances. They don't want to be wrong. If data is diffrent with their thinking, they usually feel agony. I agree with Jeffrey Kluger that people tend to easily believe by rumors because they don't have knowledge about informations of rumors. Also, they tend to take their freinds talking for granted as facts.

            First, people tend to not doubt about some rumors that are heard by acquaintancesors because they believe acquaintancesors as usual. For example, five years ago, North Korea attacked South Korea's ship. So, many [of] my friends told me war in Korea would break out. I easily believed that rumor, and i [was] depressed . North Korea attacking South Korea ship was true, but war didn't break out. Although it was rumor, I didn't doubt them, because I was sure that they always told me true.

             Second, when people have mixed feeling about some rumors, they easily change their belief by few people. Lack of informations of rumors make them concede their points because they want to be right, and they think others who think other side will be right of rumors. Others look like talking true of rumors. The author say " Even in the best of circumstances, fewer than a third of people were willing to reverse their positions." People are unsure of some rumors. so, they are carried along by the atmosphere, even if they are ringt.
          
            Conclusion, people usaully believe rumors that they have not enough informations and interestings. Thus, if that rumors are heard by their relates, they even doubt that, and that become facts. the more they know information of rumors, the less they waver by rumors.
