Fake News

I found Laura Spinney’s article, “The Shared Past that Wasn’t” very interesting. I like how she explained the different ways why individuals remember information. Communicating and interacting with other people affect our memory greatly both positively and negatively. She made me realize how much we doubt ourselves sometimes because of what someone else hold to be true. It proves how much we depend on each other as a society to retain and receive information. The psychologist Alin Coman said that sharing memories creates a strong identity such as a story that has been passed down in a family. Another thing that I found interesting was the experiment that included the group of clusters. They found that the weak links of each group actually played an important role in the group’s memory. The article then starts talking about the historical background of collective memory. Most information that is retained by individuals were related to the degree of misfortune and trauma that affected their daily life. Events that affect the world are also easier to remember based on generation. This article made me really think about how we remember information more than other information and why we do it. While it described collective memory in communication, the basis of it was how “fake news” come about. Social media may distort memory and can lead to misinformation. Spinney successfully explained how media may emphasize details that should not even be emphasized. In today’s society, most people only focus on the negativity and the gossip in media and news. They don’t focus on what is actually important to remember. 

In the article, “Who Speaks? Citizen Political Voice on the Internet Commons,” I found it interesting how they tried to research the impact that the Internet has on political participation. Although the Internet is another efficient way for individuals to engage in politics, they found that the younger generation use the Web for other reasons and are not as active involving political issues. I found the study fascinating because they tried to compare different aspects of an individual based on the age and social class. Although most of the survey did not show a significant amount of change in the socioeconomic status, it was a good research idea.

CCR reia dezbaterile privind căsătoriile dintre persoane de acelaşi sex

CCR va relua, joi, dezbaterile pe marginea sesizării referitoare la căsătoriile dintre persoane de acelaşi sex, după decizia Curţii de Justiţie a Uniunii Europene în cazul Coman-Hamilton.

Curtea de Justiţie a Uniunii Europene a decis la începutul lunii iunie că statele membre nu pot împiedica libertatea de şedere a unui cetăţean al UE prin refuzul de a acorda soţului său de acelaşi sex, cetăţean al unei ţări non-UE, un drept de şedere derivat pe teritoriul lor.

Pe 29 noiembrie 2016, judecătorii CCR suspendaseră dezbaterile, pentru a cere un punct de vedere de la Curtea de Justiţie a Uniunii Europene.

“«Soţ» din art. 2(2)(a) din Directiva 2004/38/EC, coroborat cu art. 7, 9, 21 şi 45 din Carta drepturilor fundamentale ale Uniunii Europene include soţul de acelaşi sex al unui cetăţean european, cu care cetăţeanul s-a căsătorit legal conform legii dintr-un stat membru altul decât statul gazdă» şi, «dacă răspunsul la prima întrebare este afirmativ, atunci art. 3(1) şi 7(1) din Directiva 2004/38/EC, coroborat cu art. 7, 9, 21 şi 45 din Carta drepturilor fundamentale ale Uniunii Europene cer ca statul membru gazdă să acorde dreptul la rezidenţă pe teritoriul său pe o perioadă mai lungă de 3 luni unui soţ de acelaşi sex al unui cetăţean european»”, sunt cele două întrebări la care părţile au solicitat CCR să ceară un punct de vedere de la CEJ. Advertisement

Excepţia de neconstituţionalitate a fost dezbătută prima dată pe 20 iulie la Curtea Constituţională, argumentele principale invocate de cei care au ridicat excepţia fiind recunoaşterea dreptului fundamental la viaţa privată. Preşedintele Consiliului Naţional pentru Combaterea Discriminării (CNCD) a pledat atunci în favoarea recunoaşterii căsătoriei.

Autorii excepţiei de neconstituţionalitate au contestat articolul 277, alin. (2) şi alin. (4) din Codul Civil, care se referă la interzicerea recunoaşterii pe teritoriul României a căsătoriilor între persoane de acelaşi sex încheiate în afara graniţelor, respectiv la libera circulaţie în cadrul Uniunii Europene.

[principleofplenitude]

In 2015, psychologists Alin Coman at Princeton University in New Jersey and William Hirst of the New School for Social Research in New York City reported that a person experiences more induced forgetting when listening to someone in their own social group — a student at the same university, for example — than if they see that person as an outsider2. That is, memory convergence is more likely to occur within social groups than between them — an important finding in light of survey data suggesting that 62% of US adults get their news from social media, where group membership is often obvious and reinforced. [...] Coman has two suggestions from his findings. The first is directed at the justice system. In some US states, jurors are forbidden to take notes made during a trial into the deliberation room — a legacy of historically high illiteracy rates and a belief that the group remembers more reliably than the individual. In fact, says Coman, using notes could protect jurors from retrieval-induced biases and group-level social influences. His group is hoping to explore the impact of such rules in more depth. His second suggestion concerns the diffusion of crucial information to the public during emergencies such as epidemics. Having observed that retrieval-induced forgetting is enhanced in high-anxiety situations, he has come up with some advice for officials: draw up a short but comprehensive list of key points, make sure that all officials have the same list, repeat those points often and keep tabs on bad information that enters circulation. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, for example, concerns in the United States were stoked by a misconception that being in the same room as a person with the infection was enough to catch it. The best way to kill that rumour, Coman says, would have been to explain — often — that Ebola could be transmitted only through bodily fluids. “If you understand the nature of the false information, you can target it for suppression just by mentioning information that is conceptually related but accurate,” he says.

How You Could Fall Victim To Conspiracy Theories

You don’t have to be a Lady Gaga fan to disagree with the Facebook video Alex Jones posted before the pop star’s Super Bowl performance this month.

Jones, a member of the so-called “alt-right” and founder of the conspiracy website InfoWars, told viewers to avoid watching Gaga’s performance because, he claimed, Gaga is part of a totalitarian “new world order.”

“She’s reportedly going to be on top of the Super Bowl, they’re saying she may cancel doing this, on top of the stadium, ruling over everyone with drones everywhere, surveilling them in a big swarm,” says conspiracy theorist Jones in the video. “To just condition them that I am the Goddess of Satan, ruling over you with the rise of the robots in a ritual of lesser magic.”

While this sounds ridiculous to the outside viewer, devotees will see this as yet another example of the powerful elite conspiring to overthrow the government.

In fact, conspiratorial thinking and social exclusion can trigger a vicious cycle that further isolates those who believe false narratives, according to a study published in the March edition of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology that’s already available online.

This can lead to real world consequences, like when an armed man entered a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant to investigate Pizzagate, an outlandish conspiracy theory that some alleged 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and campaign chairman John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the venue. The claim was debunked, but not before people including retired Gen. Mike Flynn, who went on to briefly become National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump’s administration before resigning, tweeting the outrageous claims.

It works like this: You feel socially excluded and begin believing conspiracy theories. Endorsing those theories, unsurprisingly, prompts your family and friends to exclude you even more. You’re left out again and again, so you double down on your conspiratorial beliefs.

The final stage of the cycle: You seek out a like-minded community that accepts and reinforces your conspiratorial beliefs. 

“At that point they become unchangeable,” Study author Alin Coman, assistant professor of psychology and public affairs at Princeton University, told The Huffington Post.

“Social exclusion leads to search for meaning,” Coman continued. “We believe that this search for meaning ‘overshoots’ in a way that makes people assign meaning to situations that are highly ambiguous and meaningless.”

Part one of the study included 119 participants recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants wrote about a unpleasant experience they’d had with a close friend recently, then rated how socially excluded they felt after the event. Next, participants filled out a meaning in life questionaire, which included statements such as “I have discovered a satisfying life purpose.”

Finally, participants assessed how much they believed in the following conspiracy theories:

Pharmaceutical companies withhold cures for financial reasons.

Governments use messages below the level of awareness to influence people’s decisions.

Events in the Bermuda Triangle constitute evidence of paranormal activity.

Part two of the study included 102 Princeton University students aged, on average, 20. The second part of the study mirrored the first, also requiring participants to write descriptions of themselves and the people they wanted to be, in addition to the exercises above.

Researchers concluded that when the participants felt excluded, they were more likely to endorse conspiracy theories.

And intelligent people aren’t immune to conspiracy theories, either.

Even highly educated affluent individuals can fall prey to conspiracy theories and superstitious beliefs. Study author Alin Coman

Notably, many of the participants in Coman’s study were Ivy League students, a sharp contrast to the popular perception that conspiracy theorists are an uneducated lot. 

“Even highly educated affluent individuals can fall prey to conspiracy theories and superstitious beliefs,” Coman said. “It can happen to anyone.”

And while the new study didn’t specifically address today’s post-factual political climate, Coman did have a few suggestions for disrupting the cycle if a friend or family member falls prey to a conspiracy.

First-line defenses include fostering inclusive environments and disputing unproven facts and conspiracies in group discussions settings.

You can also educate yourself about your own biases and take a critical look at your media consumption, experts believe. If you agree with every political post in your social media feed, as well as all of the pundits in the news shows you watch, you’re setting yourself up for confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias, or seeking out information that supports your previously established beliefs, isn’t just lazy. It’s dangerous.

If you ignore factual or scientific evidence because it is at odds with your worldview, you’re an easy target for conspiracy theories ― regardless of your political affiliation or intelligence (see: anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists against Genetically Modified Organisms, climate change deniers and 9-11 “Truthers”). 

There’s also value in interacting with people on social media, and in the real world, who you disagree with. “Make an effort to connect and interact with individuals who hold dissenting views,” Coman said. “A society in which very few members feel excluded is probably more resistant to the propagation of misinformation.”

Cea de-a şasea ediţie a Galei Trofeelor Alexandrion şi-a desemnat câştigătorii

New Post has been published on https://reporterliber.ro/cea-de-a-sasea-editie-a-galei-trofeelor-alexandrion-si-a-desemnat-castigatorii/

Cea de-a şasea ediţie a Galei Trofeelor Alexandrion şi-a desemnat câştigătorii

Fundaţia Alexandrion a premiat câştigătorii celei de-a şasea ediţii a Galei Trofeelor Alexandrion, cea mai importantă gala a sportului românesc, ȋntr-un eveniment de anvergură difuzat pe 6 februarie la B1 TV şi pe pagina de Facebook a Fundaţiei. Anul acesta, Fundaţia Alexandrion a reconfigurat formatul evenimentului, pentru a putea respecta toate măsurile legislative în vigoare, impuse de evoluția pandemiei de COVID-19, astfel ȋncât ceremonia de premiere s-a desfăşurat fără public.

Trofeele Alexandrion, acordate ȋn urma consultării cu reprezentanții a 27 de redacții sportive din România şi a unor instituţii abilitate, sunt menite să răsplătească atât rezultatele excelente în sport, cât și să ajute sportivii să atragă atenția asupra provocărilor şi lipsurilor cu care se confruntă acest domeniu, care necesită o implicare constantă și activă atât a statului, cât și a mediului privat.

Câştigătorii Trofeelor Alexandrion 2020 sunt :

1. Laura Coman (tir sportiv; campioană europeană)

2. Paul Georgescu (ȋnot; trei recorduri stabilite ȋn Antarctica)

How You Could Fall Victim To Conspiracy Theories

You don’t have to be a Lady Gaga fan to disagree with the Facebook video Alex Jones posted before the pop star’s Super Bowl performance this month.

Jones, a member of the so-called “alt-right” and founder of the conspiracy website InfoWars, told viewers to avoid watching Gaga’s performance because, he claimed, Gaga is part of a totalitarian “new world order.”

“She’s reportedly going to be on top of the Super Bowl, they’re saying she may cancel doing this, on top of the stadium, ruling over everyone with drones everywhere, surveilling them in a big swarm,” says conspiracy theorist Jones in the video. “To just condition them that I am the Goddess of Satan, ruling over you with the rise of the robots in a ritual of lesser magic.”

While this sounds ridiculous to the outside viewer, devotees will see this as yet another example of the powerful elite conspiring to overthrow the government.

In fact, conspiratorial thinking and social exclusion can trigger a vicious cycle that further isolates those who believe false narratives, according to a study published in the March edition of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology that’s already available online.

This can lead to real world consequences, like when an armed man entered a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant to investigate Pizzagate, an outlandish conspiracy theory that some alleged 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and campaign chairman John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the venue. The claim was debunked, but not before people including retired Gen. Mike Flynn, who went on to briefly become National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump’s administration before resigning, tweeting the outrageous claims.

It works like this: You feel socially excluded and begin believing conspiracy theories. Endorsing those theories, unsurprisingly, prompts your family and friends to exclude you even more. You’re left out again and again, so you double down on your conspiratorial beliefs.

The final stage of the cycle: You seek out a like-minded community that accepts and reinforces your conspiratorial beliefs. 

“At that point they become unchangeable,” Study author Alin Coman, assistant professor of psychology and public affairs at Princeton University, told The Huffington Post.

“Social exclusion leads to search for meaning,” Coman continued. “We believe that this search for meaning ‘overshoots’ in a way that makes people assign meaning to situations that are highly ambiguous and meaningless.”

Part one of the study included 119 participants recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants wrote about a unpleasant experience they’d had with a close friend recently, then rated how socially excluded they felt after the event. Next, participants filled out a meaning in life questionaire, which included statements such as “I have discovered a satisfying life purpose.”

Finally, participants assessed how much they believed in the following conspiracy theories:

Pharmaceutical companies withhold cures for financial reasons.

Governments use messages below the level of awareness to influence people’s decisions.

Events in the Bermuda Triangle constitute evidence of paranormal activity.

Part two of the study included 102 Princeton University students aged, on average, 20. The second part of the study mirrored the first, also requiring participants to write descriptions of themselves and the people they wanted to be, in addition to the exercises above.

Researchers concluded that when the participants felt excluded, they were more likely to endorse conspiracy theories.

And intelligent people aren’t immune to conspiracy theories, either.

Even highly educated affluent individuals can fall prey to conspiracy theories and superstitious beliefs. Study author Alin Coman

Notably, many of the participants in Coman’s study were Ivy League students, a sharp contrast to the popular perception that conspiracy theorists are an uneducated lot. 

“Even highly educated affluent individuals can fall prey to conspiracy theories and superstitious beliefs,” Coman said. “It can happen to anyone.”

And while the new study didn’t specifically address today’s post-factual political climate, Coman did have a few suggestions for disrupting the cycle if a friend or family member falls prey to a conspiracy.

First-line defenses include fostering inclusive environments and disputing unproven facts and conspiracies in group discussions settings.

You can also educate yourself about your own biases and take a critical look at your media consumption, experts believe. If you agree with every political post in your social media feed, as well as all of the pundits in the news shows you watch, you’re setting yourself up for confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias, or seeking out information that supports your previously established beliefs, isn’t just lazy. It’s dangerous.

If you ignore factual or scientific evidence because it is at odds with your worldview, you’re an easy target for conspiracy theories ― regardless of your political affiliation or intelligence (see: anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists against Genetically Modified Organisms, climate change deniers and 9-11 “Truthers”). 

There’s also value in interacting with people on social media, and in the real world, who you disagree with. “Make an effort to connect and interact with individuals who hold dissenting views,” Coman said. “A society in which very few members feel excluded is probably more resistant to the propagation of misinformation.”

Alin depot: Como atender la gripa de tu cuyo.

El cobayo, conejillo de indias o cuyo es un roedor proveniente de América del Sur, en específico de Perú, Colombia y Venezuela. Este animalito se ha criado como mascota y ya se encuentran en muchas partes del mundo gracias a su crianza.

Pero como todo ser vivo suelen enfermarse, una de ellas y que es bastante común es el resfriado que si se deja pasar puede llegar a complicársele a nuestra querida mascota provocándole la muerte misma. Los resfriados de las lindas cobayas suelen darse por enfriamientos, bacterias o virus; principalmente se dan por enfriamientos.

El resfriado primero atacará a las vías respiratorias, los primeros síntomas que tendrá será que estornuda y tiene su nariz escurrimiento. Pero si este resfriado persiste puede pasar a sus bronquios y pulmones así dando por consecuente una neumonía. Los síntomas de esto serán sus ojos llorosos, no tendrá ganas de comer y dificultad para respirar.

Para evitar que nuestros cuyos se enfermen es de importancia colocar la jaula bien situada, no pueden tener corrientes de aire es por ello que de preferencia pueden situarse lejos de ventanas u puertas. También es recomendable tenerlos en el sol un momento para que su pelaje y sus vías respiratorias puedan tener algo de vitamina c y respiren el aire cálido.

AL momento de bañar a nuestro cuyo se tiene que secar completamente y más si es de pelo largo, después de la ducha tendremos que secar con una toalla seguido con un poco del secador con aire templado. Si nuestro hogar es fría debemos poner la jaula donde haga calor y esté refugiado de cualquier corriente de viento.

Es muy importante que coman siempre y sobre todo verduras que contengan vitaminas y que aporten ya que ellos no producen vitamina C, esto podría ser pimientos rojos, zanahorias y jitomates.

Para cualquier resfriado del miembro más pequeño del hogar siempre está disponible Chinoin, ya que siempre está ideando las mejores medicinas para tener la salud óptima.

Abrechnung mit frauenvomfcb - Sowas ist kein Fan & kein guter Blog!!! Bitte liken + teilen!

Hallo Leute,

ich bin nicht mal 4 Wochen wieder aktiv und schon wieder zu Tode genervt von meiner lieben Freundin @frauenvomfcb ! Es geht mir tierisch auf die Nerven, dass sie mit ihrer Faulheit und ihren demostrativen Nichtwissen auch noch Leute für ihren Blog begeistern kann und Reblogs bekommt!

Ich weiß, was jetzt von einigen kommt und ich weiß, was einige jetzt denken/sagen. Aber ganz ehrlich? Versetzt euch bitte mal in meine Lage! Was würdet ihr denn denken, wenn ihr jeden Tag viel Mühe und liebe in euren Blog stecken würdet und dann ist da jemand so stures und unfähiges, der über das gleiche bloggt. Irgendwann würde es euch auch reichen.

Noch dazu, wenn diese Person EUCH als ihre beste Quelle benutzt und EUCH alles nachmacht bzw. nach postet. 

Die besten Beispiele der letzten Tage:

74747 Fotos von der Lewandowska im Schnee aber 0 Fotos von Lamia Boateng in Ghana, James mit Salomé in Kolumbien? Wo sind diese Fotos? Gehören sie nicht zur Familie des FC Bayern? Vergessen? Nein, sie weiß nicht mal wer das ist geschweige denn hat sie sich mal damit beschäftigt. Es gibt ja keine Anmerkungen.Im Gegensatz zu den 75757 verwackelten Screenshots von der Neuer in Dubai und Alabas beim Sponsoring Scheich Besuch...mimimi

Und dann auch noch so tun, als wüsste man plötzlich wer Jordyn Huitema ist? Jo! Verarschen kann ich mich alleine! Denn jene Jordyn hat in den letzte 1,5 Monaten in denen ICH inaktiv war auch nicht auf ihrem Blog stattgefunden. Sie hat nicht mal geschnallt, das Gnabry und Jacqueline auseinander sind. Wieso auch? Prüfen tut es keiner und irgendwann macht ein Dummer die Arbeit? Oder wieso findet man auch diese Fotos nicht mehr auf ihren Blog? Weil sie sich bei mir und meinen lieben Followern über alles informiert.

Kurz und knapp gesagt: Sie weiß nichts über den FC Bayern, sie ist kein Fan des FC Bayern und bitte, bitte hört endlich auf ihr ihre Masche abzukaufen und noch schlimmer ihr 173636 Bild von den Lewandowskis zu rebloggen, weil sie „schneller“ ist als ich.

Das ist nämlich der nächste Punkt - Sie postet jedes, wirklich jedes Bild binnen weniger Sekunden (auch Storys)!!!! Hat für alles die Push Benachrichtigungen an. Wie zum Teufel soll ein normaler Mensch, der auch noch anderes im Leben zu tun hat (soziale Kontakte, Familie, Essen, Schlafen) da mithalten? Ich kann es einfach nicht und ich will es auch nicht.

Um euch nochmal zu verdeutlichen wie schlimm ihre Informationslage wirklich ist lest auch die folgende Liste durch! Ja, sie ist lang und ja, sie ist schwierig zu überschauen. Aber besser kann ich es nicht machen.
