Sunday Reading Post truth

        Helo Readers,   

      

       Today I have brought an interesting topic among you. The Monarchical practice has been around for a long time. The  Kings ruled over the people. Everyone obeyed the king's orders.  Everyone had to walk like that. The kings of earlier times kept their promises. Understanding people's feelings.  Seeing the suffering of the people and trying to alleviate it.  At that time it seemed that these kings had become for the people. That was a long time ago. But if we look at the modern age today, the situation is very different. The reign is still going on. The  Democracy runs in many countries and monarchy runs in many countries.  But the work of both is the same.  When it comes to coming to power, the rulers remember its people. How hard they work to make them their own. How many all promise. Showing his sympathy for the people. Makes completely false promises.  So one such thing came out during the 2016 US election. It was during this time that the word post truth emerged. In which to make people emotional and attract them to themselves with false promises. To build an emotional personality to establish one's own power. So today, by making such an emotional speech and misleading people and pretending to be the truth, it is called post truth.  Whose detailed discussion is as follows.

✴️Origin and history of Post Truth :-


        The word posts truth originated in the United States during the 2016 election. In the 2016 election, Ronaldo Trump and another candidate stood against him. 
Ronald Trump made a lot of promises inside his speech to attract people to him. Of these, 70%  were false promises. The news reporter there gave birth to a word with these promises. Which we call the word post truth.  Ronaldo Trump fooled people with false promises using emotion to attract them. Which was discussed all over America. And the word post truth came out of it. More information about it can be found at the following text of oxford language.

✴️Oxford Language say-


         Word of the 2016  -After much discussion, debate, and research, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016 is… post-truth.

     Post-truth is an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’.

Why was this chosen?

       The concept of post-truth has been in existence for the past decade, but Oxford Dictionaries has seen a spike in frequency this year in the context of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the presidential election in the United States. It has also become associated with a particular noun, in the phrase post-truth politics.

        Oxford Dictionaries officials say they chose post-truth as Word of the Year because of its rising popularity. They said the term’s usage appeared to increase 2,000% in 2016 alone.


✴️Post-truth in 2016

           Post-truth has gone from being a peripheral term to being a mainstay in political commentary, now often being used by major publications without the need for clarification or definition in their headlines.

The term has moved from being relatively new to being widely understood in the course of a year – demonstrating its impact on the national and international consciousness. The concept of post-truth has been simmering for the past decade, but Oxford shows the word spiking in frequency this year in the context of the Brexit referendum in the UK and the presidential election in the US, and becoming associated overwhelmingly with a particular noun, in the phrase post-truth politics. 

✴️A brief history of post-truth:-

            The compound word post-truth exemplifies an expansion in the meaning of the prefix post- that has become increasingly prominent in recent years. Rather than simply referring to the time after a specified situation or event – as in post-war or post-match – the prefix  in post-truth has a meaning more like ‘belonging to a time in which the specified concept has become unimportant or irrelevant’. This nuance seems to have originated in the mid-20th century, in formations such as post-national (1945) and post-racial (1971).

         Post-truth seems to have been first used in this meaning in a 1992 essay by the late Serbian-American playwright Steve Tesich in The Nation magazine. Reflecting on the Iran-Contra scandal and the Persian Gulf War, Tesich lamented that ‘we, as a free people, have freely decided that we want to live in some post-truth world’. There is evidence of the phrase ‘post-truth’ being used before Tesich’s article, but apparently with the transparent meaning ‘after the truth was known’, and not with the new implication that truth itself has become irrelevant.

       A book, The Post-truth Era, by Ralph Keyes appeared in 2004, and in 2005 American comedian Stephen Colbert popularized an informal word relating to the same concept: truthiness, defined by Oxford Dictionaries as ‘the quality of seeming or being felt to be true, even if not necessarily true’. Post-truth extends that notion from an isolated quality of particular assertions to a general characteristic of our age.

✴️Meaning of post truth :-



Following this link post truth  

 


         The post truth is relating to a situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs, rather than one based on facts:

The referendum was the first major vote in the era of post-truth politics.He dubs the current administration a " post-truth" White House.    -Cambridge Dictionary. 

✴️Post truth and political:-


        Most post truth is used in politics within a political party. Each country has its own politics.  Within politics, leaders try various tricks to assert their power. These tricks have to win people’s attention and sympathy to attract their attention. So political leaders use emotion in their speeches to try to attract them by saying that promises to work are true. Even if it is one hundred percent wrong after that.  Politicians in every country follow this pattern.  People have to make various promises to come to power.  But when they come to power, they do not do a single thing.  People are made fools.  And people get emotional by talking to them.  India, America, Brazil, Switzerland all have different politics.  India is a democratic country.  Hence the rule of the people by the people.  In a democracy, people are given a little leeway.  Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person.  People voted for him and won because he did something good.  They are put in power to develop the country, provide employment to the unemployed, provide adequate food to the poor and protect the justice of all.  When the time for elections comes.  Then these political leaders see the people and the problem of the people.  Then he talks big and good things to attract people.  In which speeches are made keeping in mind their feelings.  That’s mostly wrong.  People become emotional and trust them.  Then they have to endure as long as their power lasts.  Post truth is born out of telling people the same truth through emotional talk.  Which is a word spread all over the world.  Even in the monarchy, people were deceived in this way. Modern day politics has become like a bad game.  Political is a bad game.  In which people's emotions are tampered with.  Emotional peoples are misled.  Those in power must protect the people.  But in today's modern times the authorities see their own selfishness.  He forgets the promises he made at the time of the election.  The way he treats people changes his attitude towards people.  And that thing comes within post truth.

Election times speech farmer



         Even at the present time we find post truth politicians and politics within India. India is an agricultural country. The people 70% of depend on agricultural.   The Indian government made a lot of promises to do something for the farmers.  But it is not implemented. The laws that are made, the plans that are made for the farmers remain only on paper. Farmers do not get the benefit. Nowadays, when the farmers of Punjab are raising their voices against the government for their rights, they are being lathicharged.  Farmers are proven wrong. When making them emotional at election time by making false promises.  After the government comes to power, everything is forgotten. So such feelings of the government are called post truth.

✴️Post truth and religion :-



          Religion also contains post truth.  Thus the two cannot be separated.  Religion also manipulates people's feelings.  There are many religions.  There are many religion books. There are many religion gurus.  They all have a message.  In which most of the messages are incorrect.  But the clergy use people's emotions to force them to follow.  And people obey him and move on.  Sin-virtue happiness-suffering All this is given to God according to the fruit of karma.  Such religious leaders tell people to follow their religion.  Many things are done in the name of religion.  People also believe in a lot of superstitions.  Which contains something or something post truth.

✴️Religion and gurus:-



        This picture above reminds us of the court. When the offender is taken to court. So he is sworn by placing his hand on the Gita. Whatever he says is true.  But those culprits are mostly lying.  The Gita is a holy book and a religious book.  So hands are held over it.  But it has only been in name. The clergy try to persuade people to follow what is written in religious books.


God eat a milk video 

        So many videos go viral that are about religion. A video has gone viral on social media that Bhagwan Thakar is drinking milk. People share Joy more and more as their feelings are connected with God.  But it has actually happened. Is it true or false?  They don’t even want to see people.  Only after confirmation should it be forwarded.  Not everyone should be left behind like a sheep or a goat.

✴️Post truth and Science and technology :-




              The 21th  century is known as the century of technology. And it is also known as the age of knowledge. A lot of technology has evolved. A lot of new things have been created in it. From small machines to big machines were also made. This machine has made man's work easier.  But nowadays people face a lot of trouble because of fake videos. What doesn't happen or doesn't look like is made viral in the video.  Which people follow.  Fake videos are also made using technology.  In which the principles of science work.Most of the videos are completely wrong.  Which is included in the post truth.  Some of these videos are as follows.



✴️Post truth and Relationship:-



    The  Post truth is also found in human relationships. Man is emotional. Man trusts each other. The man is loving.  Love relationships are especially common in young people.  The protagonist makes a lot of promises to love his heroine.  In which at present most of the promises in it are wrong.  From the picture below you will see that a man claims to be young even though he is old.  He claims to be rich even though his clothes are torn. Trying to attract the other person by making them emotional. By making such false promises, they are making the other person emotional. There are many such examples in modern times. The Love relationships are more common in the younger generation.  In which lovers make promises and promises to each other. When one of the two betrays, the other is forced to die.  Or that person commits suicide.  Young Generation uses various technology applications like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp for their relationships. This type of relationship involves post truth.  Family relationships also now include post truth.

✴️Post truth and News :-



       The News has become a big platform nowadays. Every event that happens not only in the country but also in the world is found through the news. He also gets all the news from home.  Some news is live and we can watch it together. News is what is happening in the country and what is happening. Disasters in the news provide information on elections, TV serials, movie reviews, religious events, live programs, etc.  Which brings awareness among the people. But nowadays a lot of fake news also comes. Which sends a wrong message to the people. These people also assume that this news is true. Since so many people are watching the news at once, the wrong thing is spreading. We recognize such falsehoods as post truth. Some news channels research and investigate such false viral videos and false news.
