#Post-truth: the word of the year 2016#

Hello readers, 

     I am the student of english language and literature. I write this blog  on my view point 

and understanding of post-truth with an example, I hope you will understand it, so let's start. 

# On Defining post-truth:

         As we know that after much discussion, debate, and research, the Oxford Dictionaries word of the year 2016 is "post-truth" an adjective

defined as, 

  "Relating to or denoting circumstances in wich objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief" (Source of Oxford Dictionary). 

# The term "post-truth" In politics field:

The compound word post-truth exemplifies an expansion in the meaning of the prefix post-truth-that has become increasingly prominent in recent years.Rather than simply referring to the time after after a situations or event.
 
In manymany election campaigns,misinformation and disinformation have victory over information. Facts are no longer considered important in campaigns characterised by post-truth situation.

People, manipulated by emotinal appeals, treat misinformation and disinformation as information.
Recall two recent events-The Brexit and the Trump campaigns. In both campaigns, emotional appeals and feeling, and not facts, where the factors for Britain leaving the European Union and the triumph of Trump. 

    

# Here is an interesting example:
   
  We can take recently example of banned the article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, of course it's beneficial  and worthy  for all,but  government said
That it's banificial for Jammu and Kashmir in many fields like job opportunities, sports, education system etc. But apart from this it'it's also banificial for other states also. here we can some see the post-truth.
