For The Culture Chapter #5

Doing research/homework online to find the truth about what is happening in our world is a risky situation. For the Culture brings up points that people are choosing to trust what is shared online over news outlets. I am not saying one is more reliable then the other but facebook web forums and online groups are not fact checked. So it is basically up to you and what you want to believe based on how it makes you feel.

When government has more control over media and it is more widely known that they are doing controlling what is shared with the public it can be better understood why people turn to "figuring it out yourself" and that becoming a cultural act amongst people.

On a less serious less harmful version I made this graphic above from ads that I see all the time that I am pretty sure are fake/scams but are starting to look more and more real. So it has become a practice for me to "figure it out myself," because shiny jewelry does not mean followers are not bought and that I'm not about to get scammed. So it has become standard practice for me to do my homework on brands and everything I see online even if I don't plan on buying anything but rather because I want to know if it is real.
