blogs entry #2 summary of the writing "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" written by Jeffery K Luger, the author presents the issue how people refuse to recognize that they are inflict injure. the writer states that human being don't like to accept their mistake or failure in from of others.the author actually says that people prefer to keep their wrong point of view instead to admit their false statement. According to the article study showed  that is easy to persuade people and change people mind and belief  by present them a false statement as a truth one, using  sufficiently  wrong date which seems. I actually agree with Luger's article about how facile people trust in rumors .
 
  In this article I found some important ideas , but I would like to focus in one. in the article Luger states that " Humans ... easily deserved by rumors and flat_out lies ". It means that people don't think twice before to take on a report without know it is true or false. in order to prove what's the author point out in his writing , I think I have a perfect example to prove it. Last Friday I was in a school cafeteria working while a few people came to the service area with the  new that it was a Earthquake in up town Manhattan at 116 st. so two of my cop_worker heard the new and one of them started crying immediately thinking that her two little children who were in the school located in 120 st were hurt by the Earthquake, beside that the other one was crazy , she was telling several time that " All my family who live at 118 st   must be die nobody could survive at this deserter".
   
  In addiction the most  curious thing about it is that  those two women assumed the new as truth, without looking for some evidence to confirm the date. Therefore it shows us that " Humans... easily deserved by rumors and flat _out lies". Finally 20 minutes latter when they calm down they call they family and realized that the new of a Earthquake was not true. The  reality of  this  event was a Gas explosion in a building in 116 st instead to be a Earthquake. In fact is simple to get involve  humans being and  a false expectation.        
   In conclusion this writing though us that  people is lazy they prefer to believe what other says instead to do they own research. that why they accepted wrong rumors because it is more easy to them.
