Ever since people stated being exposed lots of information, they would ask themselves, “Is that true?” Nowadays we live in middle of surplus of information. However nobody knows which one is the truth among the information. Moreover, no one can tell who telling the truth on the news. Now I firmly agree that it is difficult to tell who telling the truth or which one is the truth on the news and information. I’ll explain my opinion with two supporting reasons.
First of all, several major media and press relate to specific political part. In particular, in election season those major media become busier to support the political party to be elected, which will be benefit for those media. Therefore, those media and press will start writing an article and showing video on television just for their benefit no matter what is true. For example, in 2008 during a presidential election in Korea Chosun-Ilbo, this is one of Newspaper Company in Korea; kept showing us things about another candidate’s dark side. However, most part of them turned out to be an untrue rumor. As you see here, some information or news are manipulated by several major media and press.
O n top of that, another reason why I think that it is difficult to tell which one is the truth on the information is relating to capitalism. Since most counties accepted capitalism as a most common idea for the country economy, many companies in those countries have tried to gain a lot of money. In particular some company tries to show exaggerated advertisements to people on the television or information. This is because they just want to earn more money. For this reason many untrue news and information will be increased. In this regard, I think that it is difficult to tell which one is true on the information and news.
All in all, I truly believe that nowadays many unbelievable news and information lure people. The reason is that first of all several major media or press show us the news and information which is only focused on their favor such as a specific aspect of politic. In addition, some company shows us exaggerated advertisements, reasoning that they only want to sell their product as much as they can. |
