5. How do you know that the information you pass on is true?

Before passing information, you need to fact check first. Make sure that the source
is accurate and reliable. Sharing fictitious information makes a difference as it can
create conflict while passing facts can be helpful and brings peace.
6. What difficulties do you face in passing on this information to others?

One of the things I notice is when people have their own knowledge about
something, it is hard for them to accept other information. They tend to believe
what they know first and that is one of the difficulties of passing such information.
Also, a lot of people don’t know how to differentiate facts and lie.
7. Are these pieces of information available in popular media?

Yes, nowadays, it is easier to disseminate information through the internet. We
have Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and many more. Sharing
information became a lot easier. That is why it is important to pass information that
is factual and legit as it reaches a lot of people and can affect many.
