1) Sherlock Holmes
believed that many people are not able to put aside what is truth and theory. People
often hear theories and opinions in their everyday life and some accept these
theories and some actually look into finding the truth. If people were to always
keep all the opinions of others soon they will be left with nothing. There is
no proof of what they say until you search for the truth. People eventually get
all their facts from people instead of something that they can support
themselves. For this Sherlock Holmes believe if there are facts to a problem,
you will soon find the truth if you look hard enough.
I actually have
experienced this with some of my friends. Most which watches a lot of
television and believes almost every single thing coming from the news. When
you hear of news reporters they completely think the information they give them
is completely the truth. What they didn't know is that there is a lot of things
they hide behind those cameras. Things they have to censor in order to protect
the government. I showed him many newspapers and research on videos showed him
all the cover-ups, providing him with facts that we shouldn't always trust the
media because there are a lot of lies behind it. People won’t believe you or
let go of their answers until they see it themselves. Therefore people need to
do more research and not always believe in what they hear from others.
I agree with a lot of the points you made and agree that people hear theories and opinions in their everyday lives and accept them without looking for solid facts. I think everyone is guilty of this at some point or another because it is easier to believe what someone else is saying than looking for solid evidence. I liked the example you gave and also think that people assume ‘the news doesn’t lie’ but like you said, they obviously are restricted from reporting all the facts. The media also leaves out opposing views that go against what they’re saying so that definitely is something you have to keep in mind when relying on the media for facts.
