Fake news is known to be an epidemic across this country,
but the reality is, it’s a huge issue globally. From all age groups people are
known to believe what they see without looking at the facts or the whole story.
An example of this is when a video spread across India of a woman getting
molested by a man. This hit hard for a lot of teenagers where it was widely
spread and even discussed in school where a lot of debates emerged about this
said incident. Later, the full video was released to show that the man was
simply saving the woman from a riot. “The students had trouble dealing with the
fact they had believed fake news.” Asia Times reports. No one wants to fall
victim of the popular fake news trend, but sadly it is very common for that to
happen especially when it comes to young, impressionable kids. I feel it is our
duty to set a new standard of News and stop the pattern. We must all come together
to share the truth and teach younger generations to do so as well.
