I Know The Truth, So Don't Bother Me With Facts

   I'm agree with Garrett and Nisbet because rumors can make that people be discriminate and people can start to feel fear.

      Firs of all, People can be discriminate for the society. In our society people like to believe in rumors and doesn't take a time to think if is [they are] true or not. People just repeat only that just a few people [are] saying. For example after 9/11 New Yorkers didn't want to take a cap if the car was driving for a Mussulmen because people was thinking that every Mussulmen was involve in the accident in the towers. Many Mussulmen can't bring some food for their homes because they lose their jobs as a taxi drivers. People has to thinking two times before say something that maybe is not true because could be make a lot of damages.

      Second, People start to have a fear. If society start to believe in rumors people can feel fear for their security and their families because they don't know how people can react [general; I do not know what you mean]. Some ones could  react aggressively. Fear is the worse part because many people violates and they don't want to say anything about the advantage that other people are taking. For example immigrants some times don't want talk because they feel fear and their rights are violated their bosses are taking advantages for their fear. unfounded rumors can affect many people creating an atmosphere of fear and inequality.

      in conclusion the society should be more aware when it comes to believing in unfounded rumor that some bad inadvertently affecting many people are creating discrimination and fear.
