Critical thinking Education against disinformation

Young people tend to accept whatever they hear or see and do not bother to check whether something is true or not. In a global society, where information barriers have fallen and where borders are only a political issue, information society can invade us thoroughly. If for example the concept of "live news" is added to current issues, we have the perfect cocktail for the rising of "Fake News". The essential thing is to have news of immediate events, instead of being well informed. It seems to have turned out that it is of greater importance to have direct access to news regardless of its objectivity. Nowadays everyone owns technology to receive instant information, whether that information is reliable or not. At the same time everyone can report on any event, and as a result reporting is more important than trying to help. Comparing reliable sources seems to be less important than immediate reports.
