Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JAY, 23, DESPERATELY WANTS TO TALK TO SOMEONE BECAUSE HE IS ABOUT TO COMMIT SUICIDE, BUT ALL HE CAN GET ON THE PHONE IS A CALL GIRL. “When I imagined the crowd, I wondered how insignificant I was. Not just among all those people in the metro but in the entire city, and then on this entire earth. And then I imagined myself in the entire universe. I realised I was just a grain of sand on earth. Or even that is an overstatement. That was depressing. Really depressing. Then I thought about me—not me in the world, but just me. I tried to feel and realise every part of my body. I’d move a finger or a toe and then stop it. I would stop breathing and then resume. I touched my nose and felt its shape. I opened my eyes and immediately closed them. I tried to feel my heartbeat. I was trying to feel how much control I had over my body. From there, I started thinking about me—the one who was ordering the fingers, toes, hands, or feet to move or stop. The one trying to feel the heartbeat. Whatever you call that, a soul or consciousness, or whatever the hell, that was me. That and only that was me.”

Download or read book Schooled by Rumours written by Thomas Ramadhani SJ and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rumours are perhaps as old as humanity itself, because human brain is hardwired for storytelling. With modern allegiance to speed and advance in social media, the need for objective truth is decomposing. Everyone today is at the mercy of taps and clicks on the gadgets. Public shaming and cyber bullying have even led to suicides. Amid devastating rumours, Father Ramadhani turned to the Bible for solace. The result is these fourteen stories of how God and God’s people deal with rumours. Half is taken from the Old Testament, with the struggles of the Israelites, Moses, Hannah, Naaman, Jonah, Job, Tobit, and Sarah. The other half is from the New Testament, with the experiences of Paul, Zacchaeus, the soldiers, the sinful woman, the prodigal son, the disciples, John the Baptist, and Jesus. This final sequel in his ‘Trilogy of Redemption’ is a message of hope for those who have become helpless victims of rumours. It is also an invitation to conversion for those who are addicted to spreading rumours.

Download or read book On Rumors written by Cass R. Sunstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us are being misled. Claiming to know dark secrets about public officials, hidden causes of the current economic situation, and nefarious plans and plots, those who spread rumors know precisely what they are doing. And in the era of social media and the Internet, they know a lot about how to manipulate the mechanics of false rumors—social cascades, group polarization, and biased assimilation. They also know that the presumed correctives—publishing balanced information, issuing corrections, and trusting the marketplace of ideas—do not always work. All of us are vulnerable. In On Rumors, Cass Sunstein uses examples from the real world and from behavioral studies to explain why certain rumors spread like wildfire, what their consequences are, and what we can do to avoid being misled. In a new afterword, he revisits his arguments in light of his time working in the Obama administration.

Download or read book Rumors written by Jean-Noel Kapferer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rumors may be the oldest medium of mass communication of information or ideas. Even before there were newspapers, radio, or television, rumors communicated by word-of-mouth made and shattered reputations, and set off riots and wars. Yet contrary to predictions, rumors continue to thrive, in spite of and parallel to mass media. What accounts for the puzzling persistence and continuing significance of this little-studied social phenomenon? Jean-No;el Kapferer examines the theory and practice of rumors, focusing on specific areas such as entertainment, criminal behavior, business and finance, and politics. He describes the kinds of conditions that give birth to rumors, why we believe them, and the hidden messages they convey. Kapferer points out that rumors frequently serve useful social purposes and present rich examples. He speculates about how rumors can be controlled, changed, and prevented. Drawing upon contributions of disciplines ranging from psychology to history, and integrating the insights of Europeans with the latest work of American researchers, this is the most comprehensive examination of rumors, gossip, and urban legends yet published. Translated into nine languages, this edition was updated with advances in theory and research since the book's original French publication in 1987. Its brisk, accessible style makes the book of interest to psychologists, economists, political scientists, sociologists, and folklore analysts, as well as the general reader who is curious about the origins of this fascinating social phenomenon.
