The Telephone Game. Losing Truth

Sort:
xLaffite

The Telephone Game is an experiment done that shows how the truth can be lost across slight misinterpretations. I want to show the danger in this, and the results. The Telephone Game is an experiment done  where one person says something in someone else's ear, and that person passes on the message to the next person. Gradually over time, when the message is at the furthest person from the original source, it becomes a completely new message. 

Imagine how dangerous this can be in some situations. Where can "The Telephone Game" be seen in everyday life, politics, philosophy, relationships, ect, and show the impact, and explain the value of finding the true statement. Explain how discussions should be focused on the true statements, and not the variety of responses based on slight error over time, or number.

Discuss below your opinion and new examples, or extended ideas of this.

What is truth? (Like Pontius Pilate, I'm not waiting for an answer.)
