Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice - steve jobs

How do I know what to believe?

It’s hard to say. We live in a day and age where we have access to multiple resources especially when it comes to online. Our information is just a click away. We are able to search for any type of information we want good or bad regardless of how factual or good the source is. 

• Do your own research
  • Pick a topic
  • Ask questions
  • Analyze what you find
• Have healthy conversations
  • Our society is awful at this, we don’t do this anymore
  • We believe that people who have different opinions, beliefs or views than us are evil, uninformed bigots who hate us
  • Sit down and have meaningful conversations with someone that has different views
    • Be willing to listen
    • Be willing to speak
    • Ask questions
    • Be honest 
    • Be polite
• Don’t believe everything you read or hear
  • Most of us depend on specific social media sites and influencers, news sources, and radio shows to get our information
  • First of all, social media is not a good source to get your information, most of the time.
  • Take a step back if you question something
  • We can’t believe everything, we are becoming too gullible
  • It’s ok to question things
• Check out more than one source
  • Use multiple sources, don’t just depend on one place
  • Believe it or not, people do lie
  • There’s a local news station in my state that I’ve noticed is very one-sided, so I’ve started going elsewhere to confirm their stories they lost credibility for me

Use these things to draw your own conclusions.
