Factfulness By Hans Rosling
Buy the book from amazon: https://amzn.to/3tBXUy1 Nowadays, a lot of media focus on attracting readers, and that is why these media outlets provide followers with very simple and drama-filled information instead of providing extensive and detailed information. As a result, many people have an unrealistic negative view of what is going on in the world. There is a widespread belief that the world is going from bad to worse in various fields, including the economic, political, environmental and even educational fields. If you asked a questionnaire about the level of poverty in the world over the past twenty years, and the options were a) the level of poverty was doubled , b) stayed at the same level, c) dropped by half of what it was. Many people will choose the wrong answer, even though the correct answer is that it has been halved. This survey was conducted in the United States, and the result was that only 5% of the participants expected the correct choice. The author attributes this phenomenon to what he called "misconceptions" that arise as a result of media content and also as a result of some natural instincts in humans. One of the most important negative concepts that are prevalent in the Western society is the difference between "East" and "West", as many believe that most eastern countries are developing countries that cannot live a civilized life like the one in the West. This is despite the emergence and supremacy of many developing countries during the last century, such as Japan, China and South Korea. Bit to remember: The misconceptions that are common between humans are the result of many instinctive and external factors, and they prevent us from seeing and understanding the world accurately. #Books #Booksxbits #Bittoremeber Please follow our social media accounts: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/booksxbits Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/booksxbits Twitter: https://twitter.com/booksxbits FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/booksxbits
