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 audiences are likely to believe a fake news story?
I want to see what generations/group falls for fake news to see if it affects them overtime.
3. In what ways does misinformation affect someone?
I want to see the ways people are being affected by misinformation.
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!
