Post-Truth
"Post-Truth" refers to a cultural and political environment where emotional appeal and personal beliefs often outweigh objective facts in shaping public opinion. In this context, individuals may prioritize their feelings or opinions over verified information, leading to a distortion of reality.
This phenomenon has been amplified by social media platforms, where misinformation can spread rapidly. The term gained prominence during events like the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, highlighting how narratives can be constructed around falsehoods, influencing voter behavior and public discourse.
