Por que as pessoas acreditam em Fake News? – Culturalizando

Americans who believe in fake news about politics have an age profile over 60 and are conservative, they suffer from what psychology calls Confirmation Bias .

In summary, Confirmation Bias means that people believe what they want to believe to be true. (5) An article on a psychology blog says that people only change their minds if they are open to reflection, have an open mind to new possibilities, if they seek the truth. Everything that a person with a strong ideology does not have. (6)

While our media glides on relatively simple news, in the USA, during the Bush era, in that context of post-World Trade Center attacks. The American president released false reports of weapons of mass destruction to the UN to justify an invasion of Iraq.

When the Americans discovered that the reports were false and that all mainstream media had passed on that information without checking the veracity and resulting in millions of refugees, trillions of dollars spent in an unnecessary war and the creation of the Islamic State, the media lost much of its credibility it had. (7)

With Myanmar’s Most Famous Woman in Custody, Many Others Step up to Take on Junta — Radio Free Asia

Women have played a leading role in weeks of mass protests, which erupted after Myanmar’s military seized power on Feb. 1 and ousted Aung San Suu Kyi and other elected leaders. They now face an increasingly violent crackdown.

Security forces have used live bullets, stun grenades and flash bangs to quash the protest movement, killing scores of people and arresting more than 1,800 across Myanmar.

Braving physical danger and arrest, women rallied in the largest city Yangon, and in towns in the border states of Kachin, Chin, and Shan to raise their sarongs – wraparound skirts widely worn in Southeast Asia – as flags of protest for International Women’s Day.

“We used to celebrate this day jointly in hand with various government ministries focusing on awareness of women’s rights. But this year women are actively taking part in the anti-military protests and we decided to use our sarongs as flags of the column,” said May Sabe Phyu, director of the Gender Equality Network in Myanmar.

Women have used sarongs creatively to protest the coup and frustrate security forces. In many neighborhoods, they string the skirts, known as htamein in Burmese, on ropes across roads. Myanmar superstition holds that walking beneath women’s sarongs is bad luck or shameful for men

“The motto this year is ‘Choose to Challenge.’ And we Myanmar women choose to challenge the military dictatorship,” May Sabe Phyu told RFA.

Covid: Eight in hospital as IOM virus cases rise by 56 – BBC News (young people do get Covid-19!!!)

Infection rates among young people and children remain high compared to previous outbreaks, with 135 of the active cases being recorded for those aged under 19.

Because of this, the government announced it would not reopen a hub school for the children of critical workers on Tuesday as previously planned.

Schools were closed to all pupils, including vulnerable children and those of key workers, on Friday and remained shut on Monday.

Education Minister Alex Allinson said any provision would need to be done “safely” and concerns about “gathering children from multiple households” remained.

The government was “working around the clock” to establish a solution and a further update would be made later this week, he added.

A total of 811 people have tested positive for Covid-19 on the Isle of Man, 25 of whom have died.

Japan open to deploying soldiers to Senkaku Islands, report says – UPI.com (world does not need a renewed aggressive Japan – that was settled in 1945…)

Japan may not be ruling out troop deployment to the disputed Senkaku Islands if conflict arises with rival forces, according to a recent press report. A Japanese official speaking on the condition of anonymity told the South China Morning Post Tokyo will not tolerate Chinese breaches of Japan-claimed territory, after Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said Japanese ships will be allowed to fire at foreign boats “preemptively.”
