Identifying fake news.

          Every thing today is mostly technology based and young people spend their time on social media regularly. However, they need to determine what is right and wrong from what they read and watch. Adding on to this, social media is not enough for helping them know all about the world. Going out of social media, young people should know how to navigate through falsified news. As Mr. Schleicher said, "Students need more places to "exchange ideas". He also says that being aware that there is something like fake news, questioning, and thinking critically is a very important task. Young people these days should be careful not to take in all they read and hear on the internet. They should be aware of what is reliable or not. He also talks about making multi-ethnic and multi-religious countries into "mono-cultures". He explains that people can best relate to each other when they are similar. As people move around contrasting different ideas, and concepts, they might come to one conclusion and relate to each other better.
          I think that when people come to one conclusion, it would be easier to determine what is wrong. Since everyone has similar thoughts, when an idea out of their ideology spectrum comes forth, people would know that it is not similar to their thoughts and would consider it as a falsified idea. Also, it depends on how much an individual hears, watches, or reads news. Most of the articles or videos are similar and mostly those that are similar are true articles, but not always. Young people should determine false news by experience, and also from peers' opinions, not just believe what is written, but being aware and thinking critically if it is true or not.

Kenya elections unrest

Kenya now has another election this year. Many people fear that the violence,  that happened during some elections of the past, might occur again. Some areas of Kenya like the Rift Valley are currently being affected by the elections negatively. People say that the police are taking away their property, wealth, food, and burned their homes. It happened before, but it is happening again. Many farmers are losing their cattle rapidly, and they think that cannot be an act of the bandits, but and act of politicians who have power. Politicians seems to be appeasing their own voters, and encouraging invasions against the opponent's supporters.
I think that this is very immoral and unfair. People who have their own lives to live are being affected by one ballot. One single vote can determine their fortune. This doesn't seem moral to me. The politicians are too arrogant and greedy that they are not willing to accept defeat. Their arrogance are affecting innocent people even though they didn't do anything wrong, but to vote for one person. These violent acts only bring a negative connotation about the person, and won't do any good to them. I think that to be a good leader, they should be willing to be wrong, and listen to other opinions instead of being simple-minded. Jesus was a good example of a leader. Even though he wasn't wrong, he was willing to listen to others, and tell them where they are wrong at. Similar to this, a president should be able to persuade people that the right choice is to vote for him, not by violence, but using persuasive words and nonviolence.
