POST-TRUTH

Post-truth” has been announced as the Oxford Dictionaries’ international word of the year. It is widely associated with US president-elect Donald Trump’s extravagantly untruthful assertions and the working-class people who voted for him nonetheless. But responsibility for the “post-truth” era lies with the middle-class professionals who prepared the runway for its recent take-off. Those responsible include academics, journalists, “creatives” and financial traders; even the center-left politicians who have now been hit hard by the rise of the anti-factual.

DEFINITION:" Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief."

As Oxford dictionary Caspar Grathwhol explained,  

We first saw the frequency really spike this year in June with buzz over the Brexit vote and again in July when Donald Trump secured the Republican presidential nomination.

Given that usage of the term hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down, I wouldn’t be surprised if post-truth becomes one of the defining words of our time.

"The Truth About Post-Truth"

 The actual origins of “post-truth”. These lie neither with those deemed under-educated nor with their new-found champions. Instead, the groundbreaking work on “post-truth” was performed by academics, with further contributions from an extensive roster of middle-class professionals. Left-leaning, self-confessed liberals, they sought freedom from state-sponsored truth; instead they built a new form of cognitive confinement – “post-truth”.

"IF THE NEWS IS FAKE IMAGINE HOW BAD HISTORY IS"

 

We are living in a post-truth era, Where people make decisions about their lives, politics, etc based on if they "Feel" something to be true, rather than on facts.

 IN THIS ERA OF POST-TRUTH POLITICS, ITS EASY TO CHERRY- PICK DATA AND COME TO WHATEVER CONCLUSION YOU DESIRE'

Post truth is when institutions report false or incorrect claims in order to persuade public opinion and increases support this means that audience are now beginning to question media institutions reliability people in the public eye of opinions on pretty much anything as if they were based on evidence of  social media pretty much anyone can step into a public arena. 

the problem come comes when we elevate feelings over fact, believing that personal preferences are what determine meaning and fulfillment. we no longer elevate personal preferences over truth.

"OTHER INTERESTING EXAMPLES OF POST-TRUTH"

"social media as a medium of fake news"

Lots of things you read online especially in your social media feeds may appear to be true, often is not. Fake news is news, stories or hoaxes created to deliberately misinform or deceive readers. Usually, these stories are created to either influence people’s views, push a political agenda or cause confusion and can often be a profitable business for online publishers. Fake news stories can deceive people by looking like trusted websites or using similar names and web addresses to reputable news organisations.

In order to bring the facts against society, increasingly fake news should be stopped and everyone should try to come up with the facts of the facts, otherwise the next generation will have to fight for the truth.
