how people accept facts

The text is describing the effect of higher education on having a clearer think and believes that, high level of education, helps people to think and decide better and provides some examples as proof. On the other hand, the professor goes against all of the claims made by the text and refutes them.

First, the text claims that, based on rumors and wrong information which medias spread, the best way to make up people’s mind and help them to think in the correct way is “fact checking”. The text explains that, fact checking will brighten people and helps them to have a better understanding of issues. On contrast, the professor refutes this claim and says that, facts do not have this power to change people’s mind. The professor explains that, when people have wrong information, the use of fact checking is absurd; because, even correct information, do not have this power to make a change in people’s mind.

Second, the text says that, people base their opinion on facts; and the more information they have, the more informed their opinions will be. The text provides an example of the political debates as a way which people can listen to different side of their opinion, so, they can think brighter. In contrast, the professor says that, people put their opinion on their belief rather than facts. He explains that beliefs lead to accepting bad information which is in the same path of people’s belief, in this way, people will listen to new information less.

Third, the text explains that, when people feel insecure, they will seek for facts and truth more, to be able to make potential solutions about problems; they will listen to experts who can give them correct information. The professor refutes this claim and says that, when people feel threatened and insecure, they will not listen to others and as a result they will be kept in fear. He believes that when people feel insecure, they will not listen to oppose opinion and in this way they can be controlled easier.
