                                        " I know the Truth, so don't bother me with facts"


                 In the article " I know the truth, so don't bother me with facts" by Jeffrey Kluger, the autor is explainning how easily people believe in rumors that they even know where it come from. I believe that people should learn more about facts, as a result people should avoid being labeled as dupes, also would be less exposed, in addition they would be never manipulated by the system.
                In fact, people should avoid being labeled as dupes, also should had more access to reading and get informed, so they would hardly believe in rumors.Moreover, whem we study and read books we can easily respond to rumors and explain to others the reasons why this is a rumors based on facts that they read before.In my work place (Queens), one person spread the rumors that the owner of the school was opening a new school in Broklyn and many people would be transferred, as a result of believing in this rumors, many people were fired, because they were talking about something that wasn't truth.
                Furthermore, people should be less exposed, also when we believe in rumors we get exposed to the changes that it would make in our lifes and opinions about facts.In addition, people get vulnerable about decisions to make about some project in life and hold plans for the future, all these because of a simple rumors.I personaly have a friend that postponed getting pregnant by rumors of an alleged promotion.
                Moreover, people would never be manipulated by the system, also we should never sticked on inflamatories quotes.Moreover, some of that may be simple ego, that we should learn how to delete from our brains.In Brasil long ago granmothers use to tell their daughters and granddaughters that they couln't wash their hair on the first day of menstruation or otherwise they could turn crazy people. Can you believe it?? Many young girls believe on this rumors for decades and even today in small towns still have people who pratice this habit.
                 In conclusion, rumors are a important topic to be discuss about, because it has the power to change future and people behavior. I wish that the investigation and studies of the brains continue, and the investigators continue looking deeper to figure out if we have some scientific solution for that then we could power down the situation.
