Background Information John Kennedy assassination John Kennedy assassination

Watergate

Princess Diana Princess Diana

Martin Luther King

Beginning: What is history? How does it influence us?

John Kennedy assassination example: John Kennedy assassination 1) What is conspiracy theory? 2) Why are conspiracies so fascinating and so widely believed?

example: the origin of the appeal of conspiracy-thinking the origin of the appeal of conspiracy-thinking (17,June,1972) the day of the Watergate break-in (1)With Watergate, democracy itself was brought into question. (2)Governments must bear a good part of the blame for the prevalence of conspiracy theories. (3)the author’s idea: What unsettles about secrecy is that we can never wholly trust having touched bottom.

 Question: How can inconsistencies in events cause conspiracy-thinking? two examples: (1)What did you have for dinner last Tuesday? (2)the death of Princess Diana

another example: Who murdered Martin Luther King? to illustrate: Conspiracy-thinking has touched all the incidents about which we may have presumed to know the truth.

If conspiracies are too complex, they cannot be hidden forever. The problem of conspiracy-thinking is that it undermines our faith in history.

Conclusion: Sometimes, the truth is indeed what it seems to be at first glance. Other times, the facts don’t fit together perfectly, and they remain the facts.

Thank you.
