Navigating Truth in the age of Disinformation | Vivan Bansal | TEDxGEMSInternationalSchool

Cricket fever struck my family during the 2023 World Cup final, only to leave us heartbroken by a crushing defeat. The next morning, a misleading social media post promised a rematch, sparking false hope. This experience revealed the perils of confirmation bias-believing what we wish to be true despite contrary evidence. From fake news to QR code scams, disinformation exploits our emotions and trust. Join me as I share personal stories and practical tips to combat disinformation, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and vigilance in our digital age. Let's navigate the truth together! Vivan exudes a wisdom and maturity that belies his age. His compassion and empathy are evident in his readiness to assist those in need. Loved ones admire his gentle demeanor and genuine interest in everyone he encounters. In academics, Vivan shines brightly, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He eagerly engages in class discussions and embraces opportunities to broaden his horizons across various subjects. As he navigates childhood, Vivan's infectious zest for life inspires those around him. Each day, he approaches the world with boundless curiosity, unwavering kindness, and a determination to seize every moment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
