CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Conspiracy theories have existed throughout history, with some people more inclined to believe in them than others. A conspiracy theory is defined as an explanation that rejects the official narrative of an event, instead attributing it to a covert group or organization carrying out a secret plot. Since these theories often center on the idea that powerful groups are hiding their actions from the public, they can be extremely difficult to disprove. Conspiracy theorists may even see anyone who tries to refute their theory as part of the conspiracy themselves.
The success of conspiracy theories largely derives from the exploitation of fundamental aspects of the human mind, such as trying to make sense of the world and connect with other people. Their explanations about the world create a sense of security.
However, these theories are false and can range from harmless rumors to, very frequently, dangerous beliefs that can cause people’s deaths.
Take the rumors surrounding the 1969 moon landing, for example. Some people believe that humanity never actually went to the Moon, and that the iconic televised moment when Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface never happened. Instead, conspiracy theorists believe the event was filmed on a studio. The theory originated with a former NASA engineer, Bill Kaysing, who published a book claiming the entire mission was fake. Those who believed in and promoted the theory pointed to the immense pressure that NASA faced to fulfill President Kennedy’s mandate to reach the Moon by 1970. Over the years, many conspiracy theorists have continued to argue that there is “evidence” that the moon landing was fabricated and part of a misinformation campaign. However, scientists have disproved all these claims.
The Salem Witch Trials is one of the most well-known historical examples of how conspiratory theories can have lethal consequences. The trials began in 1692, when a group of women in Salem, Massachusetts, believed other women were demonpossessed and accused them of witchcraft. Soon, people became convinced that their neighbors were witches. The belief wasn’t temporary—the trials continued for over a year. The supposed witches were put in front of a judge and jury, and thirty of them were sentenced to hanging. The witch trials serve as a clear example of the immense harm that can be caused by a group of people convinced that a more powerful group is conspiring with evil intentions.
