Have your own OPINION : Short story (2 minutes read)

15th January 2018 all over Maharashtra(an Indian state) everyone were in talks about the strike which was going to take place the next day by the CPS Party members.All news channels were telecasting the same news.It was around 12.30 pm and Arun a 23 year old engineering student was just surfing on the internet at his home and suddenly he gets a text from his buddy Jay and their conversation were as follows:

Jay: Hey buddy have you heard about the tomorrow’s strike? I and many people of our area are supporting the strike and we will be joining the strike tomorrow. I want you to come along with us.

Arun:Yeah,But i think the CPS Party are doing the wrong thing only the common people will suffer due to it.
Jay:No dude,they are doing the right thing you need to check the news.Just watch any news channel you will get it.
Arun:Wait i will watch the news and text you after sometime.

Arun turns on the TV and just goes around through every news channels.And on most of the news channels he finds that the strike conducted by CPS Party is for the good purpose.(ONLY ACCORDING TO MEDIA)

Arun texts his friend Jay as below
Arun: Hey bro I watched the news and I will also be joining the tomorrow’s strike of CPS Party.

Here Arun gets Influenced by his friend and most importantly MEDIA Influenced him.
So rather than getting Influenced by society or media we must Have our own OPINION.

  1. Not only we are influenced by others, we are bias about different opinion, I posted about it in one of my blog.

  3. Absolutely true! Here in the USA our media has been controlled by the Deep State (shadow government) for years. When President Trump was elected (like him or not) it became so much clearer that we can no longer trust the media and what they report. We must turn to the Internet and sort through the many sources available. Above all, we must filter out the lies and falsehoods to find the truth!
