Based on the first chapter reading of The Post-Truth Era, answer the following questions:
- How can the concept of post-truth be defined?
- Do you think there is any justification for allowing people to lie without consequences? Justify your answer.
- What relationship do you find between morality and post-truth?
- Do you consider that in today's society the role of honesty in social relations has been discredited? Give an example to justify your answer.
- Post-truth as an element of reality analysis, is easily associated with the exercise of power, what do you think are the differences between the lie of political propaganda and post-truth? Choose a case that exemplifies the use of the latter in politics.
- Finally, what is the role of social networks in post-truth communication processes?
1. post-truth can be defined as a distortion of the reality, the society hide the reality in base on in some cases, lies the truth by itself, even if we try to find the really truth, in some case the lier will be more accepted than the truth
ResponderBorrar2. we lie all the time, and we don't even notice. It's hard to try to change, it's not good. but i think that the thuth isn't for everybody. Some people will no able to understeand or reason about all.
3. the moral and the post truth has the same base, it's start with certain behaviors of the society that try to impulse how the world goes.
4. yes, because now we live more worry about what others say about us, for example, in social media we built a world where we don't have any problem, everything is good for us, and we live more concerned about likes, we are able to make a fake world of us just to show to the other people that we are just so cool. the society is degranding.
5. yes, we live in a world where the emotions are more importants than the truth, therefore politicals uses them to try to be closer to people, and they try to underestimate the competence since everything is valid just to get the power. for instances trump and cambridge analytica
6. they are very important because we have all our information in the clouds and as i said before cambridge analytica has acces to all that data base so they know what they need to sell in their publicity even with fake news just to change the mind of the people with their votes

ResponderBorrar1. If we want to describe the concept of post-truth, according to the text, it would be to allow the lie to be told in a very disguised way without making us look dishonest or damage our ethics, in general, and to tell lies became very easy, since we can say them little by little, without damaging our own morality, according to us, or with vocabulary that makes it seem like a truth and that in the end, we even end up believing it.
ResponderBorrar2. I think everything depends on the type of lies, because sometimes it is necessary to lie (usually in this type are small lies) to not damage a person's self-esteem, not to lose a friendship, not to make someone feel bad, etc.
3. The relationship that I see between these 2 is that the post-truth is the new way of lying or telling the truth in another way without affecting our morals or ethics.
4. Of course, today it is too complicated to believe something to someone who at least is not your confidence, and yet sometimes the trusted people lie to you very often, either little or much and of low or high level, then, it's time to know slowly, look at the profile of the person, where it comes from and that kind of things, to be more sure if everything he says is true or not.
5. I think there are very few differences between the two, since political discourse itself carries many lies, but in the discourse we only want to lie to convince people or to tell them what they usually want to hear, and in the post-truth , usually they are small (but not always) lies and they are things of daily use, to cope with a situation or related.
6. Social networks have become a place where they say too many lies and super easy, from the most obvious as put in your profile that you study at Harvard, you live on Mars and you have 10 university degrees, even the most complicated when they are generated theft of money or when taking pictures of nudes of girls, etc. When you are simply writing or being behind a screen you are in an "anonymity", since nobody sees you, nobody knows what you are doing, what your intentions are when speaking to people and more.
1. The concept of post-truth being consistent with the text, is trying to lie as subtly, without making us believe that we are damaging our ethics, everything to gain a profit or with an objective, is something that is already part of our day to day and technically it is something impossible to avoid, since sometimes we even have to lie for obligation or commitment.
ResponderBorrar2. As I was saying in the previous answer, sometimes we have to lie by compromise, first to judge that people lie, we have to see why they did it, what were their motives, not just look at the surface of things.
3. The relationship is that morality is very affected when we are lying, because it makes us look like bad people, but since it is something very routine, we try to ignore it and see it as something normal.
4. Yes, nowadays it is said that nobody is your friend, because at any moment anyone can give you the back, since you do not know when they are lying to you, why they do it and related, since someone can search for you from a principle and tell you lies just to get information from you, secret agent type or undercover police.
5. Today, almost all politicians tell lies in their speeches, almost always try to make their speeches to thrill people telling them what they want to hear, what they have always wanted to be done in their countries or cities and there are simply very few differences , because as they begin in the first speech by lying, they continue to do so until it becomes normal in their day to day.
6. Social networks have become a very important place, since there you can discover a lot of truth, but on the contrary, it is also very easy to lie to you, so I think it depends on the use you give, with whom you relate, etc.

ResponderBorrar1. Post-truth is defined as the way you can manipulate the truth feeling guilt-free and without considering yourself immoral. Dissembling begins to feel okay not dishonest.
ResponderBorrar2. No, lies can not be told with impunity because one has the opportunity to choose a way. If you decide to be a liar, then accept the consequences and face the problems with the same courage you used to hide the truth.
3. When we forget about our values, our behavior is completely apart from the ethic life and every second of the day becomes a lie, we start reconsidering our values again because few of us want to think we are unethical, neither admit that to others, so we create alternative views of morality. Then we can start covering truth with the typical "that's what i think is truth and correct".
4. Yes, i do. Nowadays honesty depends on your intentions. If you saw your best friend stealing, you lie to protect him and you feel great but if you saw someone you hate doing something bad, without doubts you will not hide anything. we have two faces, one fake and the other one is worst.
5. Political propaganda is not analysing anything, the only thing they need is sold proposals and buy followers. Post truth needs to be analysed because in spite you're hiding something you're attached to values, moral and ethic. You have to think before speak. For example, when EPM talked in television about HidroItuango, they were hiding all the real information because the only thing they need is the approval of the government not the citizens.
6. The social networks are worlds full of stereotypes, if you want to fit in, then take a picture and show an enviable life that for sure you don't have and in spite of everything you will feel good. Later, in the same way that you start to believe your new life, the others will also. this is the only communication that networks offer us.
1. This concept can be defined as the change of reality regardless of the absolute truth. Seen in another way, it is when people are more believers in influential events than in them. For the post truth it is assumed that lies are always taken into account as truth, because that is how people believe the truth.
ResponderBorrar2. I think not, because nowadays it is very important to always speak the truth. Lies can not be the escape route for all those who do not like to tell the truth. This society needs more people to tell the truth, this does not mean that it has to be something as perfect as parrhesia but it does look for a way to say the right things. This is very important and could allow us as a community that we all be loyal to each other, without hiding anything from each other.
3.When we are people who go around the world talking and acting with lies, we are being bad towards ourselves. The relationship between these two terms is linked to the value of telling the truth, and how the human being participates in it. In this case there is a lot of talk about belief and influence over what is thought to be true, leaving truth aside as a value of one's own.
4. Yes, since today many people see themselves acting badly and society itself applauds them. I consider that there are two types of people: honest and dishonest, but society adds another type and they are those who are in the middle. From small we have been taught to be correct and as we grow we are immersed in influences that make us change our mind. That's where people should help the most trying to be honest, since that would be a great help to build a better society.
5.I think that if there are differences, one of these is that in politics things are done with bad intentions, while the concept of later truth tells that lies are assumed to be true because a large number of people think so. For example, when the president of the United States accused the media of publishing false news.
6. Social networks are an important role in the entire culture of the post truth, since today there is much information circulating through these media, regardless of whether the information is true or false, people seek to defend and criticize from his emotions and not from the facts as such.
How can the concept of post-truth be defined?
ResponderBorrarI think post-truth its a partial truth full of emotion so it can be manipulative, people use it as a way to hide all the other points of view of that truth so they lead people in the way they want them to believe. at the end just lies shield in the name of truth.
Do you think there is any justification for allowing people
to lie without consequences? Justify your answer.
It depends some say that its jutificable but at the end when you give a lie a longer life than it deserves just end up creating more chaos and destructions, we as natural liars should know what it means to destroy with lies and how much despair we can leave behind.
What relationship do you find between morality and post-truth?
I think it needs a person with a lack of morality to use this to manipulate people and the way is used now days just proves it.
Do you consider that in today's society the role of honesty in social relations has been discredited? Give an example to justify your answer.
Yes now days in romantic relationships the trust ain´t something valuable no more. each person in the relationship reach a point where they don´t trust each othe so they either cheat or get blind about the other one lies. loyalty, trust and honesty lost a lot of value now days
Post-truth as an element of reality analysis, is easily associated with the exercise of power, what do you think are the differences between the lie of political propaganda and post-truth? Choose a case that exemplifies the use of the latter in politics.
Well the fact that post-truth can be use in so many ways and that i may be a truth but just to somebody eyes and can be a damaging through.
for example when Donald Trump won he used post-truth using imigrants as an enemy trying to make people see them as a plage that as a matter or fact is far far away from the truth that whole "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" It´s build in a wall but not a wall of concret but of lies
Finally, what is the role of social networks in post-truth communication processes?
I think social network give you so much more perspective in what you read and what you hear so you can actually build your what to belive and not some manipulated through

ResponderBorrar1. The concept of post truth for me can be defined like the act of say lies without considering us like a dishonests
ResponderBorrar2. For me there’s no reason to leave people lie without consequences, because I will always prefer the truth and I think that every person deserved it, but at the same time we also need to be trully with each other if we want people to be honest with us, so I don’t expect like a extremely consequence, just make the people think about say the truth should always be our first option.
3. The relationship between morality and post truth I think it’s very hard to say because it depends about how is the perception of each person, becaouse every single person has a point about how they perceive morality.
4. May be the truth has been discredited but it’s becouse we did it. Sometimes we listened someone to talk about anything and we just doubt about it, it could be becouse the person really is telling lies, or maybe the person is telling the truth but at the same time we just have no confidence about others.
6. Social media creates like another life fullfiled of lies, we show that we want to show, what we what people to see of us, even when we know that it isn’t real, it’s like a Platform to show what we want to be. We upload pictures about our trips, pics in our best mood, but we never upload when we have a problem, or maybe when we’re crying or something like that, it’s just show, and tell lies.
1. I’d like to use the term cover up to define post-truth. I can’t find another way to define this word, if we as modern people just lie and use infinite terms to not say the word lie only because we fear being called “liars” or “dishonest”. This is just a cover up, we’re covering lies, our lies; that we’re liars but at the same time we are afraid, afraid to what other people would say or think about us.
ResponderBorrar2. I mean, how we could not allow lies if the heads of the world are the greatest liars. That doesn’t mean its right, but we’re deeply on to this. Since we’re young our parents, that bad, OUT PARENTS, told us: honey tell the neighbours I’m not here, I really don’t want talk whit him, don’t worry it’s just a minor lie. At this point, we let this grow way to much, if we wanna talk about consequences we would need to punish our own parents, there is no one safe. I think needs to be consequences in lies that really put in danger the wealthy of others, but at the same time how we would know.
3. It gets tricky, I really do not find any relationship between this two. But maybe if we get into another perspective and say that we are covering our lies to not harm others, doing it for the greater good. At this point, just maybe exist a relationship, part of morality is to not harm others, so post-truth in certain way is actually protecting the others by not calling them completely liars, or having them to pay just because is a “parallel truth”, not a complete lie.
4. I think it has been modify, I really don’t know if it’s for the good or not but right now, being honest means saying the best for the other person, it’s trying to not harm others and ourselves, so, it’s been discredited?, don’t think so, it’s more that we change completely the definition to being honest for the wellness.
5. To me, a political propaganda it’s just a lie, whit non other meanings, the difference comes when they don’t accept they are lying at all, they just protect them selfs at any price. In post-truth at least you are accepting that there was a lie in some point, calling it as you want, you’re admitting that in whatever you said there is something that maybe it’s not “all truth”. The example I found is about the EPM hidroituango dam. As we know EPM says they’ve minor problems, but they are working on it. Lies, they are being sued, they have millions of dollars in debts, those minor problems are just lies.
6. Social networks are just algorithms that show you what you wanna see, when you like one photo or video or whatever it is. That immediately goes to the algorithms, when you come back to the application you will see lots of the same image or video. The point I’m trying to make is that they never show us the full facts. If we are people that just follow the right, the capitalism; in our pages always will be things about it, the good stuff, not the bad things. The bad things appear about the communists. What I’m trying to say is that there’s no full truth or lie, they cover up everything to your interest.
1) "Lie is easy, believing that is it truth and accepting the other lies as truth".
ResponderBorrarThe post-truth lies in the fact of "believing that it is", a masked form of reality, full of feelings, sensationalisms, fantasies that are beginning to believe, conscious or not of their reality, by the simple fact of that sounds attractive; the post-truth is a truth both collective and individual, implanted by "reliable" sources (internet, social networks, celebrities) that distort an objective and universal truth to something more superficial. It is not about lying, but about abandoning the rational argument and adopting behaviors that weaken the importance of truth, simply by wanting to avoid reality. In conclusion, the post-truth would be, as it is collectively said, a "pleasant" and real / rational form (as the person thus creates it) of escaping from reality. Like a reality and half truth depending on how it looks.
2) Lying deliberately regardless of the result? This is a very subjective and complex issue to solve. Everything varies according to the context: lying for hurting, hiding, avoiding damage ... etc. Lying can be bad or good, depending on the circumstance or the person. Justifying a lie is not something that is producing today. But for that you need to be in the shoes of the liar and the "victim".
Who lies has two things in mind: 1) he does it for the good of the other person or 2) he does it for his own good. In the second case, obviously justifying the lie is not an option, but in the first case it affects what the victim can and deserves to feel. Justify here is linked to the link or concern of what the other person may feel. A circumstance where morality, affection, empathy affect. Yes, we know that we are in a new era, where all people should be open to receive the truth, but not everyone will digest the truth in a rational way. So, in conclusion, justifying IS BAD, but when the truth is a bit "decorated" for the good of the other, it can be good.
3) In relation to what I said earlier, the relationship between morality and the post-truth is seen when we are in the first case of the liar, where the concern of the other prevails. Here morality comes to play a role judging itself is good or not lie. I am a bad person? I'm doing good? Will I be a bad person for doing "harm"? At this point, morality must go on thinking like the victim. Would it deserve this? What would I do if it were me? As the post-truth creates its bases based on what society says or dictates.
In relation to the previous point, morality plays a role in believing whether it is good or not to justify in relation to our beliefs and feelings. An example of this is seen when in a relationship a party begins to be unfaithful or in the least of cases, it stops wanting; here the person should communicate to the couple the truth of what is happening, because the other person does not deserve that. And because inherent in the consequences it brings, he would not like to live the same thing at heart. But all this depends on the values, beliefs and empathy you have to discern between what is good or not for the other person.
4) * Based on my personal faith *
Honesty is the virtue of the person to behave in a fair, decent, empathetic, coherent and reasonable manner. It is notorious that society greatly lost the value and practice of honesty. Examples of this reflected in corruption, abuse of power, slander, bullying, violations of rights and a host of other things.
But today, although these dishonest acts are still seen, it has been given more and more importance to the personal value of each person, among the most important, their virtue of being honest. While the world is in search of economic, environmental, political, industrial growth, etc., an equitable society full of values is increasingly being sought. Key example of this, is reflected in the search by companies of professionals with good empathic, social, coherent and among other values.
(NEXT IN OTHER COMMENT)
*SECOND PART*
ResponderBorrar5) The lie of political propaganda is seen when the power seeks to hide or divert attention from real events that affect citizens denying what happened and without presenting information. On the other hand, the post-truth is reflected when the power presents a half truth; It gives information, but not enough to protect an individual good. A key example of this is in the case of Hidroituango hydroelectric plant, which although it has had many problems and impacts of all kinds still does not give enough information.
6) The role of social networks in communication processes after the truth in the dissemination of "trends" and information. Famous, recognized pages, companies, organizations, etc., that are in charge of spreading THEIR truth as a collective truth.
1. How can the concept of post-truth be defined?
ResponderBorrarPost-truth can be defined as rationalizing lying. Lying becomes 'misspeaking' or 'stretching the truth'. In this manner, people can lie without considering themselves immoral.
2. Do you think there is any justification for allowing people to lie without consequences? Justify your answer.
Yes, I think there is a justification for that, in specific circumstances. This is what one calls a 'white lie'. A white lie is a harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone's feelings. An example of this is telling your girlfriend she does not look fat. She might, but it is not necessary for her to worry about it.
3. What relationship do you find between morality and post-truth?
Post-truth seems like a mechanism to convince ourselves of our morality. People use post-truth to rationalize their lying behavior and thus think that they're morally correct, even though they are not. The relationship between morality and post-truth is thus a dangerous one, as post-truth seems to erode the concept of morality, at least when it comes to lying.
4. Do you consider that in today's society the role of honesty in social relations has been discredited? Give an example to justify your answer.
I think it has not been discredited. People still value honesty. People just got very good at lying, so it is not as clear. Also, here the old saying 'we judge ourselves by our intentions, but others by their actions' comes into play. People know they're lying, but they're doing it with good intentions, so it's fine. However, when they notice the other person lying, it becomes a problem.
5. Post-truth as an element of reality analysis, is easily associated with the exercise of power, what do you think are the differences between the lie of political propaganda and post-truth? Choose a case that exemplifies the use of the latter in politics.
In politics, post-truth is a political culture in which debate is framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored. This shapes the public debate and is thus different from propaganda, which are plain lies glorifying a party/leader/country. An example of post-truth in politics is Trump claiming Obama's birth certificate is not real. Even though it's been proven that it is, he just keeps saying it isn't until his supporters believe it.
6. Finally, what is the role of social networks in post-truth communication processes?
Social networks are very good tools to bombard the public with post-truthful messages, as demonstrated by Russia and Cambridge Analytica in the most recent U.S. Presidential election. It also helps the spreading of these messages, as that is how social media work. As people are more inclined to believe something they hear from their friends and that they agree with, social media is a strong tool in the wrong hands.
1. The post truth is an information that comes to us, however it is an information that is between the land of truth and the lie, it is a fiction, that moves away from the objective but that human beings welcome it as truth because it it adapts to the subjective mental scheme of each individual.
ResponderBorrarThe problem with the post-truth is that it begins to move away from the objective in a moment and is distorted by the subjective.
Although the post truth, is a "truth" merely adapted by us as true, is not a truth in itself, because the means by which we extracted that information is adulterated, then, that information first enters a filter of the media communication and the environment itself, adapt an information so that it can be adapted and embedded in an environment, so that the lie adorn, and the other filter is how we adapt that lie, I mean as we make it fit in us to be return a truth, and that makes our construction of reality a kind of utopia, a reality that we modify and modify to make us feel good, we build and build that adulterated reality, away from the objective so we can cope with the life, and away from the concrete facts of a raw reality.
2. When we are going to talk about the lie, it is a subject that goes into many areas, not only of aspects of subjectivity and objectivity, but also of morality and ethics, of how that distorted or non-distorted information is carried in the environment.
When we are going to talk about if a lie is justifiable without consequences, it depends, because not all lies are made with bad ends, there are lies that are made because who will receive that information may not be mentally prepared for that kind of thing, many times the lies are not said to cause an evil, or because they seek to give images that are not, not in all cases is that because sometimes there are simply people who would not be mentally able to support many things (ex: a grandmother who he suffers a lot because he has a very horrible pain, and the son is the one who receives the news from the doctor who tells him he has cancer, however the son asks the doctor not to tell him it is cancer because he knows that she finds out she would go into a crisis and become very depressed and he just wants her to live well in her last days of life, however the doctor tells the truth to the grandmother and she dies a week because the depression under her immune system logical what made his death earlier).
The lies themselves are not a bad thing, it only depends how they are carried out and for what purposes, however not all are good, there are those used to manipulate or give images that are not, only to create false schemes, or distract a public of real issues as it is in the case of politics, or to make mistakes and not assume them and cover them up with lies as in a couple cheating, there are lies that must be paid with consequences but depends on which lie and the background and intentions Of the same.
3. The relationship between post truth and morality is that the first being a term between the truth and the lie, which is an information that we accommodate as truth but that in its objective background is not, we distort a reality, and not only the reality external if not also internal, because both are ultimately one single.
ResponderBorrarMorality and post-truth are related in the sense that the post-truth is a distorted subjective moral, in the sense that we coined acts as good but according to our criteria, but in its most objective sense the background is different.
4. The value of honesty is something that as a value we have completely lost, because people seek to hide the harsh reality under illusions or small utopias to get closer to other people, for fear many times to lose something or to look bad in a group , or for many other reasons. Nowadays people fear telling the truth for fear of being rejected, because we live in a society of acceptance where we seek to create false images to fit into groups, and not only in groups but also in my relationship with the other are created lies, as it is in a relationship, when there is an infidelity, and seeks to hide what happened, it is better to tell what happened and take responsibility for our actions, but human beings have realized that with the lie can evade responsibilities in a simple way, however, you always pay a price for it, because the lies are not always good.
We have lost the sense of honesty, for fear of evading reality, because reality is an immutable fact that we can transform, but not in a utopian or fantasy way as is sought in the lies.
If we are going to relate with a friend or with a sentimental relationship, we must be sincere, it is more difficult to carry a lie than to pay for a truth. But the problem of lying today is that many times people do not feel guilt for it, before they enjoy cheating, they enjoy cheating, because society has made us lose that sense of empathy for what the other feels and just think in what I feel.
5. The policy handles a lot what is the truth post because they seek to distract the people from the concrete facts by disguising them with erroneous content.
The differences between political propaganda and later truth, is that the information of one is adulterated and modified according to particular intentions, and the second is the objective facts of reality.
Nowadays, they use social networks and many other ways to "distract" us from reality, so that we focus on stupid things that distract us from reality while in reality other things happen.
An example of this was when Duke in his election campaign promised not to raise the iva and people creating the truth that it was a proposal that would be fulfilled, then raised the iva at a very high rate at the time when it was already selected as president, here as you can see the fallacy that people end up believing as truth and adapt as reality and then comes the objective facts and destroy everything.
6. Social networks handle much what could be called "the truth adorned" and "the lie adorned" is information that we receive which is always adorned with things for us to know or cope with or simply to ignore the real objectivity of the facts . Social networks handle a lot of fallacy in the information they distribute, however, as human beings depend to a large extent on the means of communication to receive information from the world, we believe those media or that information, because they are the sources that they provide us with that ... however that adulterated information generates in us an incorrect reality about the world of its real objectivity.
1.How can the concept of post-truth be defined?
ResponderBorrarthe concept of Post truth can be defined as a shield that protects us from the guilt of being called a liars, our society cares so much more about what people think no matter who you really or where you leave the truth honesty.
2.Do you think there is any justification for allowing people to lie without consequences? Justify your answer
There is not justification for being a liar, at the end of the day the lies are gonna hurt beacuse they are just make up. and let me ask you something, why do you have to put make up on in something before speak out?, its because you are hiding something and if we are talking about hiding its because those things that you are keeping away are not good to others lets be honest we are bringing consequences no matter if they are gonna come today or tomorrow, there is always a damage after the lies.
3.What relationship do you find between morality and post-truth?
people is always worried about how they are going to look in front of the society and because of this they pretend to be honest they dont want to look like a liars. most of the times they try to tell the truth because they want to protect their moralty so at the end of the day people tell the truth because of themselves not because they are being moral.
4.Do you consider that in today's society the role of honesty in social relations has been discredited? Give an example to justify your answer.
it has not been discredited people just got too influenced about lies, they completly lost the sense of honesty i mean people think that lies help them to make others feel better but they are creating a worst damage.but we cant even judge those acts because all of it comes with society.
5.Post-truth as an element of reality analysis, is easily associated with the exercise of power, what do you think are the differences between the lie of political propaganda and post-truth? Choose a case that exemplifies the use of the latter in politics.
i think the big difference is based on the real arguments that post truth have i mean post truth shows you a real content a content that has lies in it post truth recognize that lies exist and we can see the relationship between honesty and lies insted political propaganda makes you believe in them without a real arguments just with the power of words they distract you from the real truth hidding so many things but at the end of the day they dont accept the lies that comes with this political matter.
6.Finally, what is the role of social networks in post-truth communication processes?
social networks has to many roles i mean it depends on the use that you give them, nowadays this is a bridge to share the knowledge that post truth brings,and thats a good thing because people can know all about it.
1.How can the concept of post-truth be defined?
ResponderBorrarIt can be defined as being capable or allowed to tell a lie, covering it with some part of subjective truth, and then lying is bearable because of this "make up" of the truth it carries.
2.Do you think there is any justification for allowing people to lie without consequences?
I do not think lies should be justified, but it is actually pretty hard to distinguish lie from truth nowadays... and most part of the time we support all kind of lies and believe in them without noticing. Personally, I couldn't say if lying (in every case, situation or form) should be punished, since it begins to mix with morality and it becomes really controversial; so I can say that it is not ok to tell lies and justify them, but telling apart lie and truth is really hard, and it involves also a lot of cultural and moral things.
3. What relationship do you find between morality and post-truth?
In a case like a political campaign, when a party claims something as a fact when it is not, and people just believe in it and make decisions from the "fact" that it is supposed to be truth... there it becomes a moral matter, when a lie cause a emotional response and makes people to take decisions based on a lie because de who claims it has such power or influence.
4.Do you consider that in today's society the role of honesty in social relations has been discredited? Give an example to justify your answer.
Honesty as what it means no, honesty will always be very welcome and I think being honest has its perks, even nowadays. But the thing is, how can you tell apart honesty? it is actually pretty hard to find out if someone is telling the truth or not, furthermore people like lies more than truth.
5.Post-truth as an element of reality analysis, is easily associated with the exercise of power, what do you think are the differences between the lie of political propaganda and post-truth? Choose a case that exemplifies the use of the latter in politics.
I think it is all linked to post truth, as i say in my third answer, being someone powerful as a politician, having all that influence, you can manipulate and play with the media as you want, you can make your own truth to be consider as an objective truth, an you can also reach people by moving their emotions. The example is clearly Trump, who reached United States presidency by, most of it, lies and emotional situations, making people believe in a lot of chaos that was not really happening, influencing them to think that the "real" North America needed to be save.
6.Finally, what is the role of social networks in post-truth communication processes?
Social networks allowed people to be more susceptible of post-truth and be exposed to all the inaccurate news and messages we received daily on this platforms.
1- How can the concept of post-truth be defined?
ResponderBorrarR//Put another way, post-truth is a distortion of reality.
2-Do you think there is any justification for allowing people to lie without consequences? Justify your answer.
R// here we can see two aspects.
inside the correct, we never have to lie because someday the lie going to get out and all the people going to judge you're actions , and not going to justificate you're cause, only they going to say that you are a lier and never they going to trust you.
but today all the people lie for his beneficent, for get better things in their lifes.
3- What relationship do you find between morality and post-truth?
R//the relationship between post-truth and the morality is that both are about morality, only that the post truth is based on its own criteria and morality establishes that as something universal
4-Do you consider that in today's society the role of honesty in social relations has been discredited? Give an example to justify your answer.
R//yes,for example, now we can see that in relationships accept the lie like it was normal, and the excuse that they give it's that always going to be, that it's normal, all the couples does that.
5-Post-truth as an element of reality analysis, is easily associated with the exercise of power, what do you think are the differences between the lie of political propaganda and post-truth? Choose a case that exemplifies the use of the latter in politics.
R//that in the post truth there is a small distortion of reality, but in the background there is an objective to be fulfilled, although if it is good or bad it goes in the criteria of the person. However, it is about fulfilling.
but in the political lie, often there is not a small trace of truth, all the total lack of morals and principles, where things are promised that are not going to be fulfilled, so it is totally not a small distortion of reality like the truth ... that lies at the center of truth and lies.
6-Finally, what is the role of social networks in post-truth communication processes?
R//in the social networks we can found a lot of news that could be adorned with other things that might not be real in this case we can call that like post truth because we found a real news with things that maybe never happend.
and that's important because today all people use social networks and that promote the lie, generating that every time it is more normal to lie.
