Have you ever seen something on TV and later a real event has occurred that has various similarities? Many will argue pure coincidence but there are others who believe in Predictive Programming. Conspiracy theories develop from ideas that seem extreme to most people. They range from aliens to time travelers to simulated realities. Once someone dedicates their time to prove such theory, they tend to find enough evidence for it to convince others. Most theories are not proven real per se, but, they are maintained with enough evidence to keep it alive and flowing. Predictive programming refers to the act of showing people hints towards an action that will occur at a later date. The point of this is to instill the idea of such act into everyone…show more content… When a hoax is called for, usually it is to bring up a point or raise awareness. A hoax just means that a shooting, for example, was just staged and didn’t actually happen. For example, the Sandy Hook shooting is said to be staged to bring gun-awareness to a prime. Adam Lanza, a 20 year old committed this tragic scene. He went into the Sandy Hook school heavily armed and fatally shot 20 students that ranged from 6 to 7 years old. This is all after killing his mother in his home. The problem comes when predictive programming was supporting this. In the movie “The Dark Knight Rises”, there is a map that points to Sandy Hook and would work towards preparing people not to react. This however, makes no sense when a hoax wants you to become aware of things. This point is what fumbles people who want to go for predictive programing. If you wanted to raise awareness you would not put foreshadowing of the event in which you claim would make them not react to the situation. This is when those in support of this theory go and and fourth on whether one of the goals is to desensitize people or…show more content… The fact is that the events foreshadowed are big events that have something bound to happen to them. For example, the Twin Towers were a big standing piece in New York. If there were going to be some sort of attack, it would happen there to mark a big devastation. The Boston bombing marks an important event that if attacked would also bring about a tragic event. In reality, small predictions have not been made because they are long shots, when something well known is foreshadowed to be attacked it seems reasonable to assume that it was predicted but it just may well be a big coincidence. This states that people who form these theories are looking past the truth and are forming unnecessary
