On the internet there are hundreds of thousands of different news articles, but not all of them are real. Fake news is a type of hoax or deliberate misinformation that you can find almost anywhere mostly because of social networking platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and News Feed.

The idea of Concealed Carry arms at universities is a controversial topic for both students and faculty on whether guns should be allowed or banned on campuses throughout the United States. The idea of Concealed Carry Arms is a controversial topic because it represents both protection and fear as no one knows who has a weapon, whether they have it legally or even if they know how to use it properly and safely. Also, nobody knows of someone else’s intentions with Concealed Carry Arms as they could use that gun for protection or murder. The idea of allowing Concealed Carry Arms on campus is a controversial topic that could affect universities and campuses in the United States.

Fake news is bad for anyone who is reading it. It causes drama. Leads people to the wrong conclusion. It also gives people false information.

The article, “5 Reasons Why People Share Fake Photos During Natural Disasters” by A.J. Willingham from CNN.com, it says that people create fake news based on “confirmation bias”, or information is believable. At all costs, people need to protect themselves from this “confirmation bias” so they can avoid fake information. One way they can do this is by checking that the photo or article came from a credible source. If there is a picture on an official news channel’s website, or on the actual news channel, it is most likely a credible source, and a valid photo. Be careful of news photos that are not on a specific news website, because it could easily be a false picture with a photoshopped news background. People have to get themselves out of

To anyone looking to avoid fake news, Leonard Pitts says to read a newspaper. Pitts points out that there is a difference in satire and fake news such an SNL skit being made to poke fun at news sources being compared to a story about Donald Trump being assassinated. The New York Time's recent case study explains that fake news arises due to people not bothering to fact check the articles they share online. Fake News has become popular in conservative communities and in those looking to confirm that they are the true victims. The alt-right movement and its supporters have lead us into a spiral of misinformation and fake reality.

The Holocaust was called the “Final Solution” used by Adolf Hitler to exterminate all the Jews by putting them in Concentration Camps and killing them in many ways. Vladek is a survivor during the Holocaust and he was traumatized from this experience because he starts having Holocaust flashbacks. In his book, Maus, Art Spiegelman explores the themes of symbolism, historical background, & religion. Maus is the story about the author’s dad, Vladek, during his time in the Holocaust. It shows symbolism because it shows Jews becoming mice, Germans becoming cats, Americans becoming dogs, etc. It shows historical background because it shows Jews being killed by Nazis just like back then in the late 1930’s - the early 1940’s. And it shows some religion because the book shows the Nazis & most of the polish (that are pigs) discriminating against the Jewish population because of the dictator, Adolf Hitler. When the story begins, Art comes over to Vladek’s house & he is remarried to a person that Vladek has known before the war, named Mala because his 1st wife, Anja, killed herself on May 21, 1968. After Art ate dinner, Vladek took him into his old room and Art ask Vladek about his life in Poland during the war. He tells Art before he met Anja, he had a girlfriend named Lucia Greenberg, and she was obsessed with him. When he met Anja, he left Lucia while she begged for him to stay because she did not like her when she saw her picture and Vladek loved Anja more than Lucia. Vladek joins

Edgar Allen Poe is most often recognized, and certainly most famous, for his poem “The Raven” as well as other decidedly dark and often gothic poems and stories, stories such as “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Telltale Heart” “The Cask of Amontillado.” He also wrote many others mostly involving rather macabre, dark topics and characters as well as heavy themes such as insanity, madness, incest, murder and revenge. While this reputation is certainly well earned there is another side of Poe that is not quite so obvious. Poe was also a master of humor, especially in the use of parody and satire. One might ask how is it that a writer with such an inclination towards the darker side of humanity can

News writing is made to inform others with the truth. However, humans are naturally a greedy species. We always want more; this goes with power and wealth. As a result, the art of journalism can sometimes be tarnished to make a quick profit. Eye opening headlines with false or irrelevant information are becoming more common. Some writers even disobey writing ethics by unfactual and biased stories, otherwise known as “fake news”. There are other examples but in the end, viewership is needed so writers spice up their articles in any way, shape or form to get their money. Some are written well enough to look like legitimate news articles; many people can easily be fooled and believe whatever they read. That is why it is important to understand the dilemma of the prevalence of “fake news” today. People should be cautious and hesitant, and try to understand the full concept or picture when it comes to reading news

In a work where news gets thrown in our faces right , left and center , it becomes difficult to filter out which news is true and which is not. But , before asking how to filter out the news , we need to ask ourselves why should we have to categorise the news as credible or non-credible ? Why would the person writing this article wouldn’t want to lie to me ? Many times a journalist may get a story from a source who may or may not be very honest or in some rare cases journalists may make up stories with twisted facts and misquoting individuals. However, in the media business , when someone makes a mistake , there’s always ten others who are waiting to point it out. What makes the media credible, to the everyday reader, is the idea that the

A recent study conducted at Stanford found out that 82 percent of students cannot tell the difference between fake and real news (Crook). This is a major problem because it can affect people’s careers and even sway election results. Fake news occurs when hoax websites report false news. False news stories are reported every day and are being spread all over the internet. This is a huge dilemma in today’s world because “62 percent of the U.S. adults get their majority of news from social media …” (Crook). This type of news spreads so easily because people share outrageous stories without actually reading the story to realize it is false. Former president

It is imperative for people to be knowledgeable on the sources they are looking at. Hearing or receiving fake news can largely impede one’s decision in a negative way. YouTube celebrity Tom Mabe pranked his wife with fake news and it ended up backfiring on him. Tom Mabe got a fake lottery ticket for his wife and played a fake news cast in order to prank his wife into believing that she won the lottery. The news caster reveled the winning numbers and when his wife heard the numbers, she was ecstatic. She was so ecstatic about the lottery prize, thinking she had won, that she told him she wanted to file for divorce because she has the money to “pay for the legal fees and be able to purchase another home and [their] kids will not have to worry” (Mabe). Tom Mabe was shocked and confused not realizing she had felt that way. It then turned out that she saw the cameras and turned the prank back on him attempting to lie about wanting a divorce. The example of Tom Mabe was to show how fake news can change one’s perspective or thought, ultimately resulting in a more often than none, a negative outcome or

Fake News can effect on the world and the people on Earth. It can also make people believe into fake news when it’s not. Also, it can effect on people's life, job, career, family, and future. Fake news can cause people lives. People lie to each other all the time but most of it is for fun. People shouldn't be doing it on the environment. It can ruin so many people life. Fake news can cause the whole world in big trouble. It can be bad on the news or newspaper.

“Fake news,” like Pravda during Soviet Russia times, was used in the election to deliberately sway the political views of the voters and increase the support of one party’s side. During the election, “phony articles concerning candidates…emerged…this fake news boosted the image of…Donald Trump…” (“Fake News”). "Phony articles” or “fake news” on social media affected the candidates’ images, thus making voters more likely to vote for one candidate over the other. “Fake news” can be dangerous in spreading unreliable information and planting false accusations about a candidate in the minds of the voters. In 2016, a fake news story was leaked about Hillary Clinton that led to a shooting in a pizzeria,“Incidents such as this demonstrate how potentially dangerous fake news can be and how difficult it is to distinguish…”(“Fake News”). “Fake news” can cause people to abandon their initial beliefs about a person, like a political candidate, and align with the opposing side, destroying a person’s career over counterfeit media. "Fake news” is propaganda used to change people’s way of thinking, like both Pravda and Squealer’s role on The Farm. All of these methods of propaganda were substantial resources in changing people’s minds and feeding thoughts into their minds. They can be dangerous if they are not identified as being false or exaggerated, and can

The recent surge in popularity of social media comes with a price: fake news. Fake news is defined as news or media that has been altered or modified. Journalists have begun to analyze why that fake news exists and why it continues exist. Two authors, Eoin O’Carroll and Kevin D. Williamson, both have written articles about fake news. Eoin O’Carroll’s article “How Information Overload Helps Spread Fake News,” discusses how the media has bombarded us with news stories, blurring the distinct lines between real and fake news. Kevin D. Williamson, a journalist for the National Review, writes in his article “‘Fake News, Media and Voters: Shared Reality Must Be Acknowledged” that the news is not fake; it just does not align with one’s personal beliefs. Both authors successfully appeal to their audiences’ emotions and feelings, but O’Carroll is more likely to succeed than Williamson in persuading his audience to try and combat fake news because the writer presents himself as someone the intended readers will more readily identify with and offers evidence that his readers will find more compelling.

Out of the variety of news sources such as TV, radio, or newspapers, one of the popular sources in today’s world is social media. People are getting addicted to and can’t live without social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. They use social media as of where they can post their status but also where they can receive a lot of different news. While social media are spreading any kinds of news such as trend, celebrity or even politics, people easily get the information that is not true called “fake news.” The fake news raises the major problem in social media as the news source. Once people see the news, they tend to believe and share it. Liking can spread out fake news in a second. When people like the news, the activity
