the topic that my team and I have chosen to discuss is about the misinformation of the Chinese people being the start of the pandemic, why have I personally chosen to talk and discuss about this topic is because since the beginning to covid-19 there where so many rumors about how it starred and where it came from , many people would spread a Rumer that it had come from china then I would hear another rumor that it came from America the rumor would keep drifting from country to country.
There was Rumer, which I mentioned in the documentary I found about how Donald Trump created a Rumer about the covid-19 and how Chinese people began to distribute the virus and he also revealed how they are bat eaters people began to spread Donald Trump’s comments, and that’s how Rumer first began to spread. Many people all over the world began to mock the Chinese people by calling them “bat eaters,” and many individual countries stopped eating at Chinese restaurants. The beginnings of the covid were fascinating to me. The legal consideration of the covid the relate to the employment and the strategic financing that provide a brief discussion of several legal issues to consider in the current environment for instance there was some fake news that would go around how china are the number 1 effected country how everyone is sick in the country and people should be careful about being around them and people started to believe rumors that would go around for example many companies such as CNN , OSN , and even MBC and many more would block the real information to come out to the real platforms , but going to Italian restaurants or talking to Italian people is fine but that time Italy had the most deaths and sick people from covid compare to china. I believe it’s very unethical how people judge the Rumer and believe what the world would say and who to believe, I’ve decided to use a quantitative methodology, therefore I’ve produced a survey using Survey Monkey, asking people about the pandemic issue and viewing other people’s perspectives on the Covid-19 situation. I used my social media platform to publish the link to my survey, and a random person took it, I asked five questions in my survey, and the answers I came up with are displayed below.
In the image above, I asked what people think about the Corona virus that recently occurred, and where did it begin and who started spreading the virus, as well as what people think about Chinese people, and the response I received from random people was that there was a total of seven people who I asked to respond, four girls and two boys, all of whom blamed China. I had one guy who knew everything there was to know about the corona virus, and he explained in my last survey monkey question how Trump started making things up and blaming Chinese people for the outbreak’s start, and how people believe Trump’s words first, then facts, and then insults. This person knew everything there was to know about the corona virus.
To sum it up, The whole process of choosing a topic individual was very interesting because everyone had so many ideas and topics and we ended up on agreeing on one without any conflicts, we worked online and connecting with each other, I was leading the group to the submissions it was a very good experience that made me feel responsible in the group, I learned a lot from the information that me and my team had gathered before researching I would never have known that “Donald Trump” had said things about china to start the rumor.
