Welcome to my blog post two. If you have not seen my first blog post, I am doing an inquiry project with the question “How people receiving misinformation can change a person negatively?” Here are questions I will start off with for my research.
1.What is the most common information people believe in?
I need to see what type of information people believe in to see if there any connection in how they can change.
2. What are the main media platforms people receiving their news/information from.
Different platforms tell us different information whether it is an actual news channel or a social media app. I want to see where most people find their information from to see if its an actual reliable source.
3. How big can these changes be?
Changes differ from different people. Some people might have bigger changes than others. I want to see how severe these changes were for people and see if there has been a way to fix it.
This question will have implications to others by showing that something so simple they could believe in, can change them negatively and to be careful. As well as where to find reliable sources for information.
Thank you!
