Due to "alternative facts" or misinformed ideas people aren't getting the correct information and then are creating their opinions on the wrong things. But when given the correct information they are so dead set in their ideas that they don't take the correct info and change their ideas even when they are wrong. One of the examples they gave was crime rate in the U.S. it has been decreasing in the last few years and yet when a poll was taken a majority of the people being polled thought that it was increasing, this was due to misinformation. We need to take the time to really study out the information and make sure that it is correct before making wild assumptions and having a dead set idea because you never know when it will be wrong and then cause a problem when talking with others.
