According to his passage " I Know the Truth, so don't bother me with facts " by Jeffrey Kluger, he states that humans have been fools for long time and we are so easy to believe in rumors.
R.Kelly Garret and Erik Nisbet, researchers in Ohio created a study to analyze 750 people, they ask them about the planned mosque in downtown Manhattan and most of them believed in these project. They came with the conclusion that is easy to change peoples mind with insinuating pictures and even with evidence they were given indicating the facts, they want to believe that they know the truth
People do take  time to learn the facts but even with them is  not enough. First we need to obtain as much information as we can to try to understand the reality of the actions made by the other. For example, my best friend got  fired for no reason and he refused to get an explanation from his boss of his acts. Second we can not believe in rumors, people like to over talk creating a world of controversy giving us wrong information. Lastly, we can not live in a world of fantasy, the world these days is not an easy place to live, to many people have different minds, some of them good and some others bad,
In conclusion, we need to obtain a better information in order to have a better idea of tomorrow.

We live in a world full of products and full of ideas to make these products be part of our daily life style. In the article "Hype" the author Kalle Lasn explains  how the advertising in America is increasing more and more every day that we can even have a moment of peace without a commercial coming from any kind of source ,every where you go, every where you look, you will find a piece of an ad reminding you that everything you need you will find it. every day 12 billion display ads, 3 million radio commercials, and more than 200,000 TV commercials are dumped into North America's society.
The marketing industry created the most powerful ideas to make us be part of a society addicted to ads, putting ideas in our minds, taking us where the product is ,sales and more sales are  making us robots guided by lights, signs and billboards.
In our  society we face daily circumstances of our lives for example driving to work can be sometimes stress full, trying to focus on the road is not an easy job with the thousands and thousands of billboards on both sides of the road, going on line without an ad is impossible because it is hard to ignore them.
We need to escape to a quite place and relax in order to clear our minds and have a moment of peace.

 1. The philosopher Plato, author of " The Allegory of the Cave " was about Socrates and Glaucon having a conversation of human behavior. This passage show us in a philosophical world idea by Socrates 500 b.c.e   the reality of our lives, people living underground with the legs and necks chained so that they can not move , they  can only see all kind of shadows coming from the fire on the other side of the wall and listen to the echo of the voices coming from the same direction. That is all they do all day and night. The question is, what if one day one of the prisoners is released ? He will be able to see the reality of the outside , the real wold, the real life and then he will realize that he was living in a cave a world of false notions.
2.This is my first time in college, a big challenge in my life i was probably chained before, until i decided to learn more , i realized that there is a world outside  full of ideas and full of tools to have a better life
