Why are conspiracy theories so popular?

Conspiracy theories are popular because we like to have explanation for everything, but also because of internet. Having an explanation makes us feel safe, it protects us from overthinking. Even if some of the conspiration theories totally don't make sense they still can bring us some comfort. Finding an explanation may also be a way of dealing with something that happened to us. It's easier to come up with a story that we can believe in than stay lost and confused. Other than that conspiracy theories are popular because of social media. You can write anything you want on the internet and people all over the world could see it. One viral entry is enough to spread the theory and make people come up with new ones. The theories are popular because of social media and our need to explain everything.

Is it okay to use children in advertisements?

Using children in advertisements is okay but only when the product is intended for kids. It makes sense that children would advertise toys or clothes. We can see how they're having fun playing with something and they show off the product designed for them way better then an adult would. It's also obvious that kids shouldn't advertise anything not related to them, for example fireworks or other products that they shouldn't use at all or at least without an adult supervision. If another child would see an ad in which a kid advertises something that may be dangerous it would think that it's actually safe. Many threatening situations may come out because of a child being unaware of the risk that comes with using a given product. That’s why the product defines whether a child should or shouldn’t be in an ad.

Why is it so hard to admit we've been wrong?

 

I think that it's often hard to admit we've been wrong because we're afraid of what people would think. We stick to something we though was right and when someone proves us wrong it's not easy to let go of our belief. We're scared that people would laugh at us and we'd feel embarrassed. Even when someone tries to correct us we take it as a kind of personal attack, we think that this person is judging us or thinks we’re stupid. Instead of admitting that we’ve been wrong and ending the subject we undermine something they said and try to prove that they’re also incorrect. Even though the conversation may become an argument it’s easier for us to stick to our belief, because if we’d admit we’ve been wrong people would laugh at us or judge us.
