Post-truth: The Word of the Year 2016.



               Post-truth: The Word of the Year 2016
                                                 
      
Respected sir,
          As per my understanding of post truth is, if we can take literal meaning of this word so we can find that there is first 'Truth' means what is already exist in the world and that is same for all people. For example: Earth is in round shape. But "Post truth" that means something that beyond truth. Let me explain, many of people would say that we are living in a 'Post truth world". What we consider as post truth? So post means something that s beyond and not telling in the truth. Reality is not what we see in this. Post truth"' is something like we "Created" or “new artificially invented truth". This word 'Post truth" is more appropriate or used in Media or in politics. So in this way if we look, media is take one or any event and then modifying that truth of this event and then presence, either it is in negative or in a positive it can be seen by people. So there is no real truth in this. Similarly politician has to use to from doing this all thing. They just are modifying the truth. So here perception of every person about truth is differentiate from one to another person. What is seen is not what is actually not truth, but post truth.
For example: During the election, media has to show only good things about Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi, so is it actually a truth?
No this is post truth which modifying and half truth which is created by media and people takes it with it different perspective. Post truth is "WE SEE WHAT WE WANT TO SEE"
