"The Truman show syndrome: Why people think they’re living in a reality show"

In the article, the Truman show syndrome: Why people think they’re living in a reality show by Colin Lecher , the statement is based on The Truman show syndrome is very serious real thing that can mess with your mind and ruin your life if you do not address to it immediately. This syndrome is based on the movie from 1998 the Truman show starring Jim Carey. People are convinced they’ve somehow woken up- famous and are the stars of a worldwide reality show. It was named after this movie because in the movie a man gets a prank played on him that the life he believes to be a reality is actually fake and is a popular television series. The Truman show syndromes consist of people who image things to be real that aren’t and connecting the movie this new phenomenon.  This also base on People have always imagined things that aren't real our culture just changes what those things are. Therefore, a prank like this is believable because it is not that hard to become famous overnight now days.          
In my opinion I think that reality TV or shows are overrated and the Truman show syndrome is like punishment. The author state in his article that “In the world where a tweet is read by million, becoming famous is reasonable". I think he right because social media are open to anyone who will want to have access on them. People in American seem to enjoy watching each other as if it is a reality show so for them it is nothing  new.

In the article “I Know the Truth, So Don’t Bother Me with Facts” By Jeffrey Kluger believes that the mind is easily bamboozled by lies and hearsay. He support his beliefs with study that were conducted by university professors who affirm that human minds are easily manipulate people with false opinions and half truths but hard to change their minds once they believe in something. I agress with this statement because as being an average person we continuously change our mind.

"HYPE"

In the passage "Hype", by Lasn Kalle. It show that the hype are the most advertisement by the mental pollutants. Hype is to excite and Advertisement is getting public notice of the attention. The most important that 12 billion was estimated during every day, 3 million of radio, and 200,000 TV were dumped by North American. Where american can be see at and with a logo or product message.


There are so many of hype that american can found by for example in the passage "you wait for your bank machine to spit out money and an ad scrolls by in the little window" I found this by as a filled in with logo i do agree with this because these make sense and it true there are things you do it found yourself as a hype things. Also, maybe a text or logo that will show you might not sound to you as hype. There are other example from the passage "Your kids watch pepsi and snickers ads in the classroom" it doesn't sound funny or hype but if you thinking about it maybe to other will think is a way of hype but i do agree with this because it a easy way to understand what they trying to say. There are so many things like people can be posting things.


when i was 15 year old I remember a old friend that will always make joke and sometime i will never understand the joke she was telling me at the end i will understand little bit if only she give detail of it. I found myself about this passage
