Mass Media and Conspiracy Theories
Mass media is basically a one-way street, continuously and regularly delivering large amounts of information to the masses. Information published in mass media is treated as "publicly available". People are exposed to a large amount of information from the mass media every day. Everyone will know the same content in the top news of newspapers and TV. If the content of the news we see in the mass media is topical, we may discuss it at work, school, or at home.
But what about the Internet? There are various ways of information flow on the Internet. Some news sites, like mass media, continuously and regularly deliver a large amount of information to their subscribers in a one-way fashion. There are also social media, where anyone can transmit information, and changes in trends affect news content in real time. Information posted on the Internet may or may not be treated as "public". In some cases, information once published may be deleted and may no longer be viewable. People can choose which sites and social media to visit, which videos to watch and which articles to read, depending on how they feel that day. Therefore, people do not necessarily see the same content even in the news about the same incident or event. In addition, people write opinions and impressions about topical news, new information is added, and the content of the news changes every moment even on the same site.
On the Internet, people tend to follow only the sources they like. People who voluntarily try to see only the information they like are likely to be biased in their way of thinking. In particular, people who like conspiracy theories sometimes see only information on conspiracy theories and believe them.
Mass media follow trends. Chasing trends is to gain popularity and earn viewership and circulation. Of course, we will cover news that is not trending, but if people do not pay much attention to it, it will become less popular as a media. We also have to manage the mass media, so chasing trends to gain popularity is somewhat unavoidable.
Mass media are influenced by their sponsors. If you publish a lot of articles that do not meet the sponsor's wishes, you may receive complaints from the sponsor, and in some cases, withdraw and refuse future funding. The mass media should ensure fairness and publicity. However, articles and videos published by mass media with sponsors have to be somewhat considerate of the sponsors.
The mass media must also be sensitive to the social atmosphere. If you send articles and videos that make people uncomfortable, you will get a lot of complaints to the mass media. If criticism and criticism of the mass media become stronger, we may have to reconsider our editorial policy. However, if the mass media panders too much to the social atmosphere, it can also cause the media to lose its fairness.
There are those who claim that the mass media are manipulated by a conspiracy. They say that conspirators are manipulating the mass media to induce people to speak. Such mass media conspiracy theories have been whispered for a long time, but in recent years, the development of the Internet has led to active advocacy. In fact, people in the mass media and social media sometimes accuse each other of being untrustworthy.
No single media can be trusted all the time. It is possible for any media to circulate inaccurate and biased information. The important thing is not to bias the information sources and not to believe the information. After all, everyone sends information with a purpose. In today's world where the Internet has developed, even if you don't like the information, it may be important to look at it once and balance the information.
A conspiracy is a secret scheme. Conspiracy is basically considered a bad thing because it's an evil scheme. Thoughts of good deeds, even if secretly plotted, are not usually called conspiracies. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to the individual to decide. For example, let's say that his subordinates plot a rebellion to overthrow a powerful person. Subordinates who should have been loyal to the authority plotted a rebellion, so from the authority's point of view, it was evil and a conspiracy. However, from the perspective of those who think that those in power are evil, they may think that the scheme of rebellion is justice.
Conspiracy theory refers to the idea that various phenomena and events occurring in the world are caused by a conspiracy. Conspiracy theories range from those that seem to have concrete grounds and seem to be reliable, to those that seem to be nothing more than groundless assumptions. Various conspiracy theories are circulating around the world. Some people become obsessed with conspiracy theories. The reason why conspiracy theories are so widespread in the world may be that people have doubts and dissatisfaction with what is happening in modern society.
Think for a moment about the relationship between Japanese history and conspiracies. If you look into the history of Japan, you can know that various conspiracies have been plotted until now. Also, if you look into it, you will find various conspiracy theories related to Japanese history. Conspiracy theories that what is written in history textbooks are merely superficial events and that there is a conspiracy behind them are sometimes published as Japan's back history that cannot be written in textbooks. Is there actually a conspiracy hidden in Japanese history?
Some social phenomena in the past are said to be related to conspiracies. It is said that there was an instigator behind this social phenomenon, and behind that instigator was a secret organization plotting a conspiracy. Indeed, a conspiracy could cause a social phenomenon. However, I don't think that a group like a specific secret organization can cause a social phenomenon that is almost unnoticed by the people. Social phenomena are not caused only by conspiracies, but are caused by overlapping factors such as historical background, social dissatisfaction and anxiety, and unexpected coincidences that no one can predict.
Conflict is a quarrel, a conflict between people or organizations over some kind of entanglement. Conflicts are caused by conflicting ideas and values, or dissatisfaction with regard to profit sharing. Opposition in ways of thinking and values is due to differences in ideas and opinions due to differences in the knowledge, education, and information that people have obtained, and dissatisfaction with the distribution of profits arises from jealousy and jealousy. It is to stimulate the feelings of likes and dislikes. Disputes are sometimes caused by the machinations of third parties.
Who is plotting the conspiracy and how? Can people unknowingly fall prey to conspiracies? What kind of conspiracies are likely to move the world? For conspirators, what is the difference between a conspiracy that works and a conspiracy that doesn't? How effective is conspiracy to move the world with conspiracies? Are there any rules for how to successfully conspire? And is there a way to detect a carefully and deliberately plotted conspiracy?
How are conspiracy theories created? Is there a certain formula for conspiracy theories? Is it possible to observe the state of modern society and see through it that there is a conspiracy? Or are many of the conspiracy theories leaks from within the conspiratorial cabal? What is the purpose of those who advocate and spread conspiracy theories? Isn't the conspiracy theory just a result theory? Here, let's think about how conspiracy theories are created in the world.
How should we deal with conspiracy theories? How should we treat people who spread conspiracy theories? Should I go along with the conspiracy theory? Or should the conspiracy theory be rejected outright? Should conspiracy theories be ignored? Or should we listen to conspiracy theories with interest? How you deal with individual conspiracy theories depends on who the conspiracy theory is and where it came from. There are conspiracy theories that you can safely ignore, and there are conspiracy theories that should never be taken lightly.
Don't believe in conspiracy theories. When you hear something that seems to be a conspiracy theory, it's dangerous to believe it. At the very least, you should try to verify the story by listening to information from people in different positions and actually investigating the facts. You also need to find out how reliable the sources of the conspiracy theories are. It is dangerous to suddenly believe anything. Especially with conspiracy theories, there are people who spread irrelevant information to gain popularity, so you need to be careful about the content.
It's not a good idea to dismiss conspiracy theories outright. Since conspiracy theories appear, there must be some kind of social background. Observing various phenomena in society, such as unfair disparities, people's dissatisfaction, latent conflicts, secret organizations operating behind the scenes, and incidents that suddenly occur, sometimes reveals terrifying conspiracies. Conspiracy theories may be a warning bell for the dangerous movement that the world is heading in a terrifying direction. We may have to learn from conspiracy theories, notice the abnormalities in society, and take measures now.
There are those who claim that conspiracy theories came from outer space. According to those who make such claims, aliens can see conspiracies plotted by secret societies that ordinary people cannot know or reveal. The conspiracy theory was passed directly into their brains by aliens while communicating with space. Are there really aliens watching us and watching someone plotting against us? And is it possible that aliens tell us the plot and spread it to people?
A conspiracy is an attempt to control the future, and a conspiracy theory is a prediction of the future. If you can predict the future, it will be easier to discover conspiracies. In fact, some people have conspiracy theories that they have seen the future or received messages from the future. He got information from someone who knew what the future was going to be like, so he understood the conspiracy that is happening in the present age. If we can see the future, or have people from the future teach us something, we may be able to discover the ongoing conspiracy.
Some have conspiracy theories that they are from another dimension. Our world has different dimensions, and when viewed from another dimension, it is easy to see the conspiracies that are being plotted in our world. The conspiracy theories swirling in the streets may be information from humans from another dimension. If the dimensions are different, why do people with different dimensions talk about conspiracy theories? why are they texting us?
Is there any connection between God and conspiracy theories? Is God on the side of plotting? Or is he the one advocating conspiracy theories and warning us? Can creatures like humans understand the thoughts of God? When compared with God's dispensation, the conspiracies devised by humans may be nothing more than the shallow wisdom of fools. It often happens that even seemingly successful conspiracies come crashing down on the verge of success. How does God see human beings plotting and repeating failures?
Some people think that they should be the one who plots the conspiracy anyway. Plotting all sorts of intrigues can be fun and exercise your brain. It feels like your wisdom is being tested, and you can also enjoy the thrill. Once you're on the side of the conspirators, it's easier to find other people who are plotting against you. By plotting, you become sensitive to the conspiracies of the world. If you join some organization, such as a secret society, you may find out about the secret conspiracies that the people there are planning. However, in some cases, there is a danger of being completely tainted by the thinking of the organization.
When someone is scheming and trying to set you back by carrying out that conspiracy, it may be your chance to strike back. When trying to carry out a conspiracy, the conspirator inevitably becomes unnatural in his words and actions. It's not uncommon to make small mistakes and failures because we try to execute things in a hurry. If someone is plotting and trying to trap you, it might be one way to return it by plotting a conspiracy that uses it in reverse. It is easy for conspirators to let their guard down when they are on the verge of success.
It's not just one person who's plotting. Conspiracies are plotted and carried out by various people or organizations. If there are various conspiracies in the world, conspiracy theories will also diversify. There is a lot of discussion about what kind of organization, what kind of idea, what kind of conspiracy. Conspiracy theories range from the wild and improbable to the concrete and plausible. In addition, various conspiracy theories have been whispered from various quarters about the same incident. How should we understand diversifying conspiracy theories?
Both conspiracies and conspiracy theories are complex intelligence games. Conspiracy is not easy. It's about moving the world the way you want while paying attention so that many people don't notice it, so it won't go well unless you make a very detailed plan. On the other hand, in order to find out the conspiracy, we have to observe various phenomena in the world and make repeated inferences and verifications as to whether it is a phenomenon caused by someone's conspiracy. Creating conspiracy theories involves solving the mysteries of various social phenomena, and it's not something that can be done easily unless you put your brain to the test and construct a story.

Should we do something about international financial capital and its alleged conspiracies?

Dramatic tales are sometimes circulated about secret societies conspiring to hold mysterious rituals in basements.

And the society is planning a conspiracy in secret and is steadily preparing to carry it out. What kind of organization is a secret society? How could such an organization exist? what is their aim? Is it true that secret societies are conspiring?
Nationalism often appears in conspiracy theories as a conflict with globalism. In conspiracy theories, nationalists are often treated as heroes of justice, fighting conspiratorial globalists. What is nationalism in the first place? Why is nationalism considered justice in conspiracy theories? Why do conspiracy theorists support nationalists? Are nationalists really justice? Are there only two kinds of people: nationalists and globalists?
There are people who say that environmental problems are a conspiracy. In recent years, environmental issues have become more and more important as global issues. If the global environment is polluted and we cannot live on this earth, it will be a big problem. We must act now to deal with environmental problems so as not to worsen the global environment. With such shouts, propaganda is being made to urge people to take immediate action. It is precisely because of this situation that various conspiracies swirl around environmental problems. Many people now associate environmental issues with conspiracy theories.
There is a theory that communism is a conspiracy of someone who manipulates people who believe in its ideas to encourage riots and revolutions, and to destroy society and then control the nation that was built. Until now, communists have promoted violent revolutions by propaganda to build an ideal society and slogans that sound good.

Nationalism is a doctrine that idealizes the self-reliance, unity, or independence of a nation. It is also sometimes said to be a doctrine whose goal is to develop the ethnic group to which one belongs and make it superior to others. Ethnicism is considered synonymous with nationalism, and it is said that the promotion of nationalism is important for the development of a nation. On the other hand, the rise of nationalism is said to deepen conflicts between ethnic groups, which may develop into regional conflicts and wars. Conspiracy theories often purport to provoke two neighboring nations or peoples to go to war, inciting nationalism and fomenting conflict.
Mass media refers to media that transmit information to a large number of people, and generally refers to newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. For many years, mass media have been used and loved by people as a means of getting to know the news and opinions of the world. In recent years, it is said that the number of people who obtain information through conventional mass media has decreased due to the development of the Internet. On the Internet, we often see articles and videos claiming that the mass media are biased or lying. Conversely, we often see the mass media calling attention not to be deceived by the Internet.
