Ikrame Kiyadi 72761 Thinking for yourself I strongly agree with the author “the less you know about, the more you will trust the experts. However, I think that the term of “trusting” refers to a positive feeling and our unconsciousness brain will give us the right to practice this behavior. Moreover, there is nothing wrong if we trust others or experts. However, it’s a huge mistake to stop using our brain and rely on what experts are saying. Additionally, experts are giving us information or some statistics because it’s their jobs which means that there is a probability that they are not interested on what there are doing. However, physiologically, brain works more efficient, powerful and skilled when we are more interested. So, searching information that you are interested on will make your researches more efficient. I agree with the speaker’s thoughts that we should do research by ourselves. After all, this our work to find answers for our questions. Actually, I do believe that no one is more interested to answer our questions more than us. So, it’s time to rely on ourselves rather than depending on experts. For my point of view, I think that it’s enough to treat public in a stupid way. People should wake up and must search the information by themselves. Each one of us has the right to have their own believes and search for it. Personally, I find that it’s a huge mistake to throw out some beliefs, values or even basic information to a large audience because this is not a critical way to treat people who has strong mechanisms and abilities to come up with their own researches. What I can notice, is that media underestimate the power of human brain. Actually, their way and strategies may work in an efficient way for animals that has limited capabilities compared to human beings. There is no doubt that experts have some innovative tools that could allow them to be able to give specific information to a large audience. Actually, I do believe that experts have strong mechanisms to acquire the power of analyzing and giving us reliable statistics. Despite, experts are humans, Thus, they can be mistaken. That’s why, I believe that we should take the information that experts give us under consideration. However, we shouldn’t rely on it. I think that experts are smart enough to play with some people’s minds. Sometimes, Experts give us the information that they want us to know not the right and real information. Maybe because government or other external forces oblige them to practice this behavior. Media is always served as an important tool for government and people. It’s good for government because it helps them to send direct or indirect messages for a large audience of people. Additionally, it can be an easy and less costly for the public for obtaining an information in an easy way. Actually, independent media is affected by many forces. That’s why, it’s hard to trust and rely on it.
