POST-TRUTH.

   Hello readers!

I'm Jagruti Vala and I'm a student of English department,MKBU.

   In this blog, I want to share some examples of The Post - truth. 

 WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF POST -TRUTH?

ANSWER:-

   "Post-truth" refers to a situation where people place more importance on their feelings and beliefs rather than facts when making decisions or opinions. 

   In other words, instead of relying on objective information and evidence, people tend to trust information that confirms their preexisting views or emotions.

   This can make it challenging to have rational and fact-based discussions in society.

     Post-truth is a term that refers to the 21st century widespread documentation of concern about disputes over public truth claims.

   The term's academic development refers to the theories and research that explain the historically specific causes and the effects of the phenomenon.

   In the other words, relating to a situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs.

 

 SOME EXAMPLES OF THE POST- TRUTH:-

   Here are some examples of situations or statements that exemplify the concept of "post-truth," where emotional or personal beliefs have more influence than objective facts.

   Some examples of post -truth in the politics, social, deepfake videos , echo chambers, misleading statistics etc..
