I think that “The Braindead Megaphone” by George Saunders was very informative. Chapter 2 was that part that resonated with me because I’ve seen it happen before. Sometimes people at parties tend to follow a person or even in real life there is always that follower that does not think for themselves because of a person’s rhetoric. At times I tend to be convinced by someone’s rhetoric and not think for myself and then my opinion becomes meaningless. Media also tends to have rhetoric that can distort our thinking about a topic and makes us believe what they are conveying.
