The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Sociology can help differentiate between authentic and fake news in the following way.

Sociology studies society and its members in a scientific way. There is a lot of research on this subject. So sociological studies can reveal the motives of groups and members of society when they provide news that is distorted or have a particular agenda, what today is referred to as fake news.

For instance, if an extremist or supremacist group publishes hate messages or racial messages in its web site or social media page in order to support the interest of this group or a politician that supports this group, but it is not supported with solid arguments or facts, then it is fake news.

As the old quote says, a lie repeated two or three times without correction, can become a truth.

When sociology studies these groups, it can reveal its intention, background, style, and purposes, so people can really identify its true nature.

1.: What economic factors led people to be angry at the government of France? What, in your opinion, was the last straw?

patriot [66]

Answer:I don’t support gilets jaunes (yellow vests) but I understand why they are angry. In France, all the politicians say that we’re in an economic crisis, we must make an effort... Macron promised a new world in politics and a lot of people believed him. Now his new world looks very much like the old one: the taxes are always for the middle and working class. He even suppressed ISF [solidarity tax on wealth], one of the very rare taxes that are only for the wealthiest. I can’t agree with people defending polluting cars against ecological taxes, even if I think that industries should be taxed. Besides, most of these people are Marine Le Pen supporters and some are really crazy. I don’t like demonstrations to be that violent. Breaking everything is not a good way to show Macron that his politics aren’t good. Juliette,
