INTRODUCTION :
Start with a relatable hook: a real-life example or scenario where emotions or beliefs seem to matter more than facts.
Define post-truth briefly: a situation where people care more about feelings, opinions, or beliefs than objective facts.
Mention why it matters: it affects how we make decisions, trust news, and understand the world.
End with a promise: this blog will explain post-truth in a simple way and show how it impacts our lives.
WHAT DOES MEANING OF POST-TRUTH:
Explain that "post-truth" is a term that became popular around 2016 (Oxford Dictionaries named it Word of the Year).
Describe it as a time when emotions, personal beliefs, or stories outweigh facts in shaping opinions.
Use an example: someone might believe a false health claim (like a miracle cure) because it feels hopeful, even if science disproves it.
Keep it relatable: mention how social media, news, or even conversations with friends can spread post-truth ideas.
WHY DOES POST-TRUTH HAPPENS :
Explain simple reasons:
Social media: Platforms spread emotional stories faster than boring facts.
Distrust: People don’t always trust experts, news, or institutions anymore.
Human nature: We like stories that match our beliefs—it’s comforting.
Mention how fast information spreads today, making it easy for misleading stories to go viral.
Use an analogy: post-truth is like choosing a movie because of a flashy trailer, even if the movie isn’t good.
