Why fake news?

The research article of BBC , The rise and the rise of fake news 2016 writes that some people does it for money as it creates millions of money from selling fake news and baiting people for their own income.

As for the people who are into this business are making money out of it and common people being their prey the predator never leaves evidence that that is a fake news and the prey fall into their trap as they reads it and forward it to more readers and they forward it to more, this chain never ends as the sharing of the story, making it the trend of the era.

The seriousness of the circumstances are never measured the creator neither the reader does. Thus, like this the fake story flourishes and flood the internet with it.

How to stop it?

There are some companies like Facebook, Whatt’s app which are trying their best to make the sharing less and less damage could happen. But how individually we can stop it on our own grounds?

1. If receive any forwarded message from any of you relative, friend, family, etc on your social media, do not forward it further.
2. Run some fact checking, professionals who does fact checking are always on the other side to help stop the fake news.
3. After checking if it’s fake tell that particular person who had send you the message that it’s fake and tell him/her to stop sending it to others and also tell others that it’s fake as well.
4. Always cross check any information which you receive on any social platform so by doing this you can avoid being a participant of spreading the fake news.

Conclusion.

The business world doesn’t seems to understand the ethics these days but the people out there hurting from their business also have the right to live a life without any fake news, money seems to had them blinded. So never believe everything without crosschecking.

Tragedy…

There is a saying in Tibetan, “Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.” No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.” The 14th Dalia Lama

When we shouldn’t lose hope means that we should make sure the same tragic things does not happens again.

Didn’t we learned a lesson 35 years ago? And yet, here we are with a repeated history. The same incident took place 35 years ago in the state Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal. Though Bhopal was much worse than Vizag. The death and the aftermath was so horrific that for weeks people had suffered diseases related to the gas. Both the tragedies were same in a way, both happened due to the negligence of the company’s authorities. Slack management and deferred maintenance which in result created a situation where routine pipe maintenance caused a backflow of water into a MIC tank, triggering the disaster.

If such tragedies keeps on happening we don’t know how many toxicity one country can take, so this happening is another lesson for the whole old and promising nature of the Government.

Bhopal and Vizag were not so different from each other, the whole situation was covered up with an excuse of being mistaken or being blamed on a worker being irresponsible and never even once mentioning their own fault of being irresponsible, siting in a comfortable chair of an AC room they decide the problems and solutions of the poor people who becomes the victim of such hazardous incidents. The atleast 50 days untouched machines were being used suddenly without any inspection resulting the death of 11 people including elderly, women and infants.

Even with the compensation the grief and the bigger loss of a person’s life cannot be replace or compensate with anything but a justice can bring relief to the families who have lossed their loved ones. Seeking for justice and looking forward to a better tomorrow without any tragic incidents and without a history being repeated incidents would be a better India to live in. The hope of seeing a better India.

Where Corona virus had reached at a height where we called it a ‘Pendamic’ and super nation like America itself had fallen for it with out any cure. Meanwhile India announcing the lockdown had created a panic wave over the citizens which resulting a huge mass doing panic buying.

BUT THE QUESTION RISES, SHOULD WE REALLY BE DOING PANIC BUYING IN THIS SITUATION?

Answer is a clearly ‘NO’

WHY?

The reason is as simple as it looks

For example : In a middle man house there are 2 people living and during a quarantine this house buys groceries for almost 8 people and if every middle man house does this when there is a lockdown, the demand goes pitched hieght and the supply is not enough for everyone so some gets and some doesn’t.

And in a country like India there are more below poverty line families then middle man families, so the BPL people suffers for every grain to fill their stomachs. There are people who suffer daily with the lockdown and the lockdown had made them jobless, shelterless and an empty stomach with no money to buy food or any medical backup. With the schools, colleges, offices and industries closed they don’t even have any reason to stay at the places where they came to work for and already facing difficulties of being shelterless, joblessness they are traveling by foot to reach their houses. With the people buying in a bulk in order to keep themselves away from ranning out of groceries they do a lot of panic buying and it’s really not necessary when the government is keeping a lenient lockdown.
