Falsehood flies
Learning Objective:
I can explain why unreliable knowledge spreads more quickly than reliable
knowledge
Starter:
- This means that lies spread faster than the truth can even come out. That
the so-called “lies” are what people want to hear. They can’t be all lies, just
a statement that would be what the others want to hear to be proven right.
Exit:
Why do false rumours spread so quickly?
They want to please the people who wanted that answer to be proven to them
that they were thinking the same. Social media can create or spread false
information rapidly before the truth can even come out. This could ruin people’s
lives and could create trust issues.
