A lot of what we are talking about in class revolves around conspiracies and assumptions. The
funny thing is there are so many conspiracy theories we face on a daily basis that we don't even
realize. The definition of a conspiracy is, "a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or
harmful". Well when you think about it, cant rumors be considered conspiracies? It is usually
two people talking about another person of something they heard. Well it starts from one
person telling a friend of something that may be true or false. Overtime, this rumor spreads
like a wild fire and people all have heard this rumor that they have to consider if it is true or
false. Usually, these rumors end up hurting the person who it's about and causes drama. High
school seems to be full of conspiracies, and unfortunately, I don't think it will ever stop. From
the smallest rumors to life threatening rumors, they all seem to affect us in a negative way.
Very good insight, Bailey. I think it is pertinent to mention that rumors are a force to be reckoned with, and that it is important to connect the idea of global conspiracies, to daily rumors, due to their severity. I think that it makes sense that these two could coincide, because both spread very quickly and ruin lives. I guess the bottom line should be, watch what you say about anyone or to anyone, because you never know what someone might believe.
