Today, many must have heard of such a thing as falsification. This is not surprising, because the action behind this word is a great way to profit for one or more persons. In order not to add to the list of victims, you need to figure out what it is all about. So, falsification is a deliberate change in the properties of an object or a substitution of facts relating to a particular phenomenon. Where and under what circumstances can this concept be encountered? To answer this question, let's look at the main types and methods of this unseemly phenomenon.
Types of falsificationMost often, this term is associated with politics. However, falsification is a fairly common phenomenon; it is found in many areas of human activity. Neither art, nor science, nor medicine are immune from falsehood and lies, not to mention collecting. Do not inspire confidence and food. Around complete falsification!
And yet, most often this word is used in connection with politics. First of all, when it comes to elections. In this case, falsification is a set of actions aimed at increasing the number of votes of a particular candidate (or party), which, accordingly, will lead to his victory. Victory in the elections gives a large number of different privileges, not only in the political, but also in the economic sphere.
To achieve the result, a variety of methods and methods of falsification are used. Conventionally, they can be divided into 2 groups:
- involving voters;
- without involving them.
In the first case, they most often resort to bribery, buying votes by hook or by crook. Such influence on voters during the election campaign is prohibited by the state, but this does not interfere with some candidates. Depending on the "state of the budget", different options are possible - from tokens in the form of chocolates to the most real bribes, which make up a decent amount.
In addition, friends and relatives of candidates often participate in elections. In this case, their preferences are obvious. In this case, candidates can contribute to the fact that several votes are cast by the same person using several different (fake) passports.
Of course, everyone understands that falsification is against the law. But the thirst for profit in most cases is stronger than the voice of conscience. To achieve this goal, all means are good, and future "people's representatives" grab at any opportunity to get a mandate. Often, candidates can increase the number of votes without the involvement of voters. So, for example, ballots are often used for those who simply did not come to the polls. That is why every person who has reached the age of majority must go to them - this will help reduce the level of falsification.
In addition, passports of non-existent people can be used. It can even be dead people or persons missing.
One can’t talk about the fact that often dozens or even hundreds of ballots fall into the ballot box. In general, there are a lot of ways here.
I would like to pay attention to other types of falsification. For example, what is the mentioned phenomenon in philately? Collecting stamps today is considered a great way to invest. Therefore, their fake brings substantial profit to fraudsters. However, this also applies to paintings, ancient books and even coins. However, stamps are the easiest to fake.
In addition, cases of falsification in history are not uncommon. At times, seemingly indisputable facts are called into question. For example, scientists Nosovsky and Fomenko claim that no Tatar-Mongol yoke existed. To understand whether this is true, it is necessary to study a lot of materials, study tons of literature, conduct research. And to understand who and why such a deception is needed for, all life will be required.
Thus, we can make sure that falsification haunts us everywhere, and it takes a lot of knowledge and effort to figure out where the truth is, and where is the lie and fake.
