Culture context and meaning

Essay plan:
Question: Why should we not subscribe to conspiracy theories? Use the moon landing and 9/11 as case study.




  • Conspiracy theory: A conspiracy theory attempts to explain the ultimate cause of an event (usually a political, social, or historical event) as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance of powerful people or organizations rather than as an overt activity or as natural occurrence. Researchers who advocate the conspiratorial view claim that most major events in history have been dominated by conspirators who manipulate political happenings from behind the scenes. (Wikopeodia)

Case study 9/11

One of the biggest events or thee biggest event to happen since the new millenium. A terrorist attack implicated by terrorists, which left more than 3000 people dead and many many more worldwide suffering because of the repercussions of the event from post 9/11 wars and invasions.

Reasons not to subscribe to conspiracy theories:

  • Human decency being one as it would seem inhuman that the attack was an inside job, affecting the lives of a whole nation.
  • Questions rise; where did the theories come from, what is the motive behind the telling of the theories, who came across such information if it exists, does anyone challenge the theories, can we believe anything anymore?
  • http://st911.org/
  • Would it be possible in this day and age to get away with such a conspiracy?
  • The trade centres were a part of the vadt boom in economy in America, they would only be harming it to great extents by bringing it down.
  • Is everything that we've heard the world over been a lie for five years?
