CRITICAL REFLECTION:
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to see the power of the rumors and lies.Those are the main source of knowledge for the people. Most everything they believe is based in what they have heard from others by word of mouth. In addition, this is a major entertainment for their lives. Most of them sit in front of the computer each night listening to the latest rumors. This is their news, their entertainment, and their culture.
The best thing I can compare this to is junk email. However, most educated people who have access to email know to be skeptical of anything they read in an email forward. Even someone who is very gullible does not waste much time talking about what they have read in the latest email forward.
TO FARID ALI:
ReplyDeleteHowever,rumors are treated quite differently depends on the indidual itself. First of all, they don't have any concept of fiction. Everything they hear is considered true. Even the educated one are taught by rote memorization. So everybody is taught to believe everything and doubt nothing. Very few ever doubt what is spoken. Even fewer think rationally about the rumors or say to themselves, "That doesn't even make sense."
CRITICAL REFLECTION :
ReplyDeleteIt is true that nowdays,most of us use internet as a medium to find an information because internet is the fastest and easiest way to get into information. But, internet also have two sides,in other words, whether the information on internet is true or false. There also have a rumors spread through Internet, and we dont know whether is it true or not.
Millions of dollars can be lost from the impact of these rumors and issues, and this phenomenon-if handled poorly,incorrectly or too slow. This can have disastrous effects on corporate bottom lines, crisis management,brand reputations, public relations and well-planned budgets.

TO FARID ALI AND FARIS IKHWAN :
ReplyDeleteI agree with Faris Ikhwan. The rumors on the internet actually can be controlled, by ourselves. In other words, we should NOT also depends on the internet only, but we can use other medium like newspaper, or books, to find information. We should think wisely and try to compared the information from the internet and other medium.(newspaper, books..)

CRITICAL REFLECTION :
ReplyDeleteThe Internet is full of lies and such, but it is not meant for it anyway. There are official resourceful sites approved by the government. So it depends on the Internet users on how they trust those sites. Sometimes we accept rumours on the Internet just for entertainment and we do not spread out the rumours for the sake of "true facts". As for myself, I accept these false facts as an alert for me, to think more openly about our surroundings and daily life.

To Faris Ikhwan :
ReplyDeleteAgree with you, the best example is the junk email. We don't read them because we know that they are junks. Junks are full of spam texts, random ads, and rumours. Rumours are mostly come from words of mouth from the public. These rumours are too far to be true as they have no facts and such.
To Ahmad Asyraf :
ReplyDeleteYes, tons of values can be waste by these rumours. It also can affect the society impact, as well as political issues. These rumours will bring much more chaos than the entertainment itself.
CRITICAL REFLECTION :
ReplyDeleteThe internet offers information and data from all over the world. It is necessary to develop skills to evaluate what you find. When you use a research or academic library, the books ,journals they are approved and have been evaluated by scholars, librarians and also publishers.Any resources that you find have been evaluted before you ever see it.

To Shaheir Jibin :
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. These rumours could make such chaos like the 'War of the Worlds' rumour that causes chaos back in history. Everyone should investigate and to be confirmed before making any action to avoid panic. Consider ourselves lucky getting use to rumors today unlike the old days wheres every information that been spread are always true.
