Post truth

There are two main words post and truth. The word 'truth' means, In our society there are many common people who always manipulated by powerful people or the aristocratic. The people who has power always use his or her power or position to make us believe. According to me this is correct truth of our society.
Post truth is named as the word of the year 2016 defined by Oxford dictionary. It defines post truth as,
           "relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief."
Post truth is a new word which become more popular now a days because of media. Media present the news in effective way. According to me, those types of effect leads to the lose of fact. The truth loses it's value.
For example : 
as our political leader or prime minister modiji had said many times a numbers of things , we can not always say that he is wrong but there also many things which is not true and still we have blind faith in his talks and won't protest against him. So in our society there are many political leaders like modhiji and there are many post truths.

In our literature there are many novels and plays which are based on feminist approach. For example in the Interview, he give one example, Nabokov's "Lolita", 20th century novel. Readers attacked it because they claim the main character is a pedophile. "Pedophile" means someone who is sexually inter...
