PUTTING AN END TO RUMOUR “ Somebody said. . . ” “They’re saying that. . ” “I heard from someone that. . . . ” “ They’re all going around telling people that. . . ” I’ve heard this phrase before. I’ve said this phrase before. I’ve never said this phrase before.

People sometimes spread rumours. . .

It makes them feel they’re. .

They spread them through the internet. . Do they have anything else to say? Are they trying to manipulate you ? Are you a puppet ? Can you make your own decisions ?

They send you stuff. . .

Someone’s saying that. .

IS IT TRUE?

Story time. . . One day the great philosopher Socrates came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students. . . ? " "Wait a moment, " Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Filter Test. "

"The Filter Test? " "That's correct, " Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is of Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true? "

No, " the man replied, "actually I just heard about it. " "All right, " said Socrates. . "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good? "

"No, on the contrary. . . " "So, " Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true? " The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test - the test of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me? " "No, not really. . . "

“Well, " concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all? " The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more.

RUMOURS. . . . ARE A FORM OF BULLYING.

APPLY THE FILTER TEST. TRUE ? GOOD? USEFUL?
