#5 I know the truth

In this world there are many ways to make people believe in unreal things. According to "I know the truth, so don't bother me with facts." many of us are easy to be deceived by rumors and lies, and when we heard something that contradict our belief, we reject the new information because we dont like to be told we are wrong.After some studies people had strong beliefs about there is a mosque at ground cero, which is not real because that was just a rumor that usually it is shown on tv or newspapers. I think that people are easy to be deceived by rumors and lies but i also think that they wouldnt change their belief because people are too proud and they love to be always right.

The article describe that even people do take time to learn facts, they dont change their beliefs and these beliefs become even strongly. I agree with this part of the article. When i lived with my father, he used to have strong beliefs about how good was the president of Peru and when someone tried to show him some bad informations about the president, my father didnt like to heard anything, and his beliefs become even more strongly, nobody couldnt change their beliefs.

However, there is something important that the article doesnt mention. It mentions about it is easy to deceive people with rumors and lies but i also thing that some people are too proud and stubborn. they love to be right all the time. that is why they dont accept to change their beliefs. For example, once my bestfriend heard that i said bad things about her and when i wanted to explain her that those were lies she didnt want to listen to me, she was too proud and stubborn.

In conclusion, I think that some  people love to be always right, they dont change their beliefs even thougth  they were wrong because they are too proud and stubborn. Sometimes this is a big problem because if they were wrong and people who love them are right, they would be always arguing.
