It depends on if it talks about gossip, dietary choices or politics.

If the tweet or whatever is from someone involved in present day politics, you best know itts true because imo politics are crazy this term.

Gossip, probably found on a teenagers instagram, you know it but most people dont care

Dietary DO NOT TRUST THEY ARE SCAMS!!!

This is a hard question to quantify. I suspect so. No one bothers to check facts. It is much easier to check what is written.

I'm currently in need of checking out health care claims made by alternate medicine. For the fifth time, I have checked the math of their claims and found what sounds like a scientific study to contain faulty math and the math was not much more complicated than %s.

What does that mean? It means that the  paper was not peer read. (Other people in the same field didn't read it). Now let me ask you a question. If a product made claims about what it sold and it used faulty stats, would you buy the product? And yet these people do millions of dollars worth of sales a year. Someone must believe them.

Do you believe the news delivered by Fox or CNN. I live in Canada. 2 years ago we were in the states and someone shot up our house of commons and the grounds killing at least 2 people. It made a huge story for CNN: they claimed that it was a terrorist attack. They kept the story going for hours. It was their number one headline that day. It turns out that one of the people killed was a security guard (unarmed in Canada he is employed to keep dogs off the grass). I tried to tell the people we were staying with that was a bogus story. They thought it was real. The next day the truth came out. CNN made no mention of the real story. They just moved on.

Yes many people believe what they are told or they read. Seems the power of the written word has not lessened, and people do not want to check the facts. There are just too many facts to check.

How do you think the colonists would react to the proclamation
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

This angered the colonists. They felt the Proclamation was a plot to keep them under the strict control of England and that the British only wanted them east of the mountains so they could keep an eye on them. As a result, colonists rebelled against this law just like they did with the mercantile laws.

Consider the conditions in China during Mao Zedong’s rule (1949 to 1976) and after his rule (1976 to the present). Compare and c
Dovator [93]

Before Mao Zedong: China was underdeveloped with healthcare facilities and educational institutions only serving the privileged upper class. During this period, there were outlaws that performed despicable deeds such as massacring people. Furthermore, the country's ruling power was divided into several tribe chieftains, warlords, and dynasties. In short, there was no central ruling body. Slavery was commonplace and women were not respected and were treated as possessions.

After Mao Zedong's rule, the women were finally recognized and given the same privileges that men had. Warlords which have been dominating their territories and living off the people's hard earned tributes for countless years were uprooted. Slavery as well as headhunting, which were common practices, were greatly discouraged and over time, were phased out. Poverty was greatly diminished and the people's life expectancy lengthened. With more access to healthcare facilities, the previous life expectancy which was set at 40 increased to 70.
