Is Truman a prisoner or performer of the show?

Is Truman a prisoner or Performer of the show?
I think he is a prisoner of the show because Truman lived a controlled live since he was a baby. When Cristof realized that Truman wanted to quit the show to lead a normal life.  Truman  was almost killed in the ocean when Cristof order the storm. As Isaiah explains in his response “Truman never got to choose if he wanted his life to be on national television. He was forced from birth.”

essay about "i know the truth , so don't bother me with facts"

I agree with Jeffrey Kluger when he states that people get manipulated by pictures and inflammatory quotes because I have seen this many times in life. When people at work spreads a rummor and the rest of the employees agree or believe these stories. After the truth has been told to them they dont want to change their opinion on how they view things.They rather stick to it their own beleives because they think that the rummor or lie is the truth.

Similar situations happen when a preacher or pastor at church says that people should do stuff that he strongly believes in, or someting thats was written in the bible. I have seen it over and over again . Some people instead of going to church to pray and thank god for giving us health and good life ,they rather listen to a preacher at a chruch tell them that they should give half of their salary or ten percent of what they make so they can be forgiven for the sins they have committed. while the preacher is trying to make people beleive all these things are true so that he can afford an expensive life style like nice cars and clothes from the people that gave these money for other purposes like helping homeless , hungry people . while the pastor travels in a fancy brand new bmw to go to church the beleivers that pay to listen to this man go to church by train or walking, and when you tell them that maybe this pastor might be a fraud they get upset and wont talk to you anymore because they think the person thats is telling then this things are going against their believes.

In my opinion i didn’t know people had to pay or give some of their hard earned money in order to be forgiven by God. these are things that some people constanly do.Instead of find out the real facts about the situation they beleive rummors and lies.

I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts


I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts
Significant idea: People are easily deceived by rumors and lies
Claim: People instead of seeing the real facts of the situation on their own .They rather base themselves with what other people show or say to them.
Reasons: we are easily manipulated by pictures and stories on the newspaper or magazines.
Thesis: I agree with Jeffrey Kluger in “I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts “ because it doesn’t matter how much the real truth is out there  to be seen. As long as we choose to see it and believe it in our own way, then  nothing is going to change the way we think.

the ' Allegory of the cave '

In the "Allegory of the cave' Socartes is trying to explain to Gloucon about how people perceive things in life and how people can change their point of views.



Socrates explains that if some one is in a closed state of mind . No matter how many things are told or shown to a person about the real world ,he or she will never get to see the truth unless they go and experience it themselves. If not then people will be stuck in a cave ,chain up to the blind habits and believes the person has and wont welcome a change in life.



People can get into fights and arguments if we Try to show or tell someone to change the way they think. People sometimes live in the shadow of others ,they become followers and therefore will never see the light outside the tunnel.

"i Know the Truth ,So Dont Bother Me With Facts"

In "I know the truth , so don't bother me with facts" Jeffrey Kluger, states that people easily believe rumors and lies. The was a new study by Ohio State University assistant professors R. Kelly Garret and Erik Nisbet about a planed  mosque and ground zero in Manhattan . The study was about how people value their cultural believes and how they can change it with real evidence when it came to their Islamic cultural center.

The professors had two troubling conclusions ,one was that people are manipulated by pictures and inflammatory quotes the other conclusion was that fewer people were willing to reverse their position  regardless of the evidence .Also other investigators are looking deeper by studying the prefrontal cortex in the brain and the amygdala to see how they light up or power down in such situations,
