The Rugrats Theory, Mandela Effect, And Fema Camps

Superior Essays
Conspiracy Theories are hypotheses that contradict the information that is actually out there about the topic. They usually become popular among Forums such as Reddit, 4chan, Social Media, and You Tube. You could find a conspiracy theory based on pretty much anything. Some of them actually make sense if you really think about it. The three Conspiracy Theories that will make you think twice is the Rugrats theory, Mandela Effect, and FEMA camps.
The Rugrats is a cartoon who everyone loved growing up. It would air on Nickelodeon and it was a show about babies who were friends and they were all able to talk. Each baby has a back story and before I start with their stories I want to point out that this is all in the POV of Angelica. ”Angelica was

The Mandela effect is when people have a clear memory of events that did not occur or misremembering significant events and facts. “These false memories have people thinking all sorts of things; is it their memory that isn’t the greatest, if they’ve gone to a parallel universe, or if people are just losing their minds. Whichever you can identify with, the most interesting about the Mandela effect is that so many individuals share the same false memories” (Christopher Hudspeth). The famous brand of hot dogs and meat is Oscar Mayer but people claim to remember it as Meyer. That famous show of four friends in New York isn’t actually called Sex in the City. Its Sex and the City but again people remember it being “in the” and some point in time. People think the Monopoly man, Pennybags has a monocle, but he doesn’t. Its said that people confuse him with Mr. Peanut. The mascot for Planters. He also wears a top hat and carries around a cane. The tip of Pikachu’s tail isn’t black. I even remember seeing his tail diped in black when I would watch the cartoon growing up. “The Berenstein Bears” are actually called “the Berenstain Bears.” This is considered to be one of the main Mandela effects people seem to talk about on a day to day basis. Its about a family of bears that was a book series and a cartoon show. Curious George never had a tail. This one I remember him not having a tail so it doesn’t bother me as much but …show more content…
"FEMA" stands for the "U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency". This theory is one that really messed with my brain because f how much evidence it has. “This agency is responsible for devising plans of action in case of a giant nationwide emergency” (Mckenzie Gibbons). The conspiracy states that the government is constantly creating concentration like camps to put is in in case the American people decide to rebel against the government. A lot of conspiracy theorists are suggesting that Walmarts across the nation is the number one ordeal place to have these camps because of their size and because there’s a Walmart basically in every city in the United States. Strong evidence for this was found when five different Walmarts in Texas and Oklahoma were closed down due to “pluming problems”. Walmart released a statement that it would take them six months to fix the problem. Residents of the town started to report heavy military vehicles in the parking lot and hearing loud booms coming from underground at night. Closed Walmarts from central Florida to Los Angeles, California are all located on the line of an underground military tunnel system built leading people to believe its connected for military

    Conspiracy theories extend upon that and tap into these assumptions and fears we have about the world. We define a conspiracy theory as a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event; an explanation that makes reference to hidden forces seeking to advance some heinous aim. Not all conspiracy theories are untrue but they all contradict a commonly accepted explanation for the same phenomenon. Once a conspiracy theory becomes the commonly accept explanation, it ceases to be a conspiracy theory and becomes history or simply fact. The President’s Book Conspiracy however, the president’s book, after reading different articles exists; it has been passed on from president to president for centuries.…

It means, memories can be affected by things that are currently happening. The idea of source confusion, the misattribution of information. The problem comes in criminal trials, relationships, and politics.…

    I came across this article years ago on TED called “Elizabeth Loftus: How reliable is your memory? (2003).” Loftus is a psychologist who studies memories. She studies false memories and false memory is when a person is very susceptible to a suggestion which can create a memory of events that never really happened. I think most people can relate to having a false memory, I know I can but, Loftus goes more in-depth with her findings on false memory and shows you just how detrimental your memory is.…

    Joseph Uscinski and colleagues delve into and tackle the prevalence, frequency, and predisposition for conspiracy theories in our society. Uscinski and others found several predispositions the most notably and potentially influential being the partisan predisposition. Today, the bipartisan line seems very clear and the parties are very divided to the point where legislation and government is plausibly affected. Uscinski’s findings in The Effect of Conspiratorial Thinking and Motivated Reasoning on Belief in Election Fraud show that depending on the party one identifies with influences whom they believe are behind electoral fraud (Edelson, 11). Furthermore, the same individuals that blame the opposing partisan party refuse to acknowledge that their own party may be responsible for committing electoral fraud (Edelson, 11).…

    In this article by Susan Clancy, Richard McNally, Daniel Schacter, and Mark Lenzenweger. They take a look at the memory of those who have a claim to be abducted by aliens. Throughout this article the researchers wanted to test four hypotheses with regard to false recall and false recognition and produced a thesis statement that stated, "those reporting recovered and repressed memories of alien abduction were more prone than control participants to exhibit false recall and recognition. The groups did not differ in correct recall or recognition. Hypnotic suggestibility, depressive symptoms, and schizotypic features were significant predictors of false recall and false recognition" (Clancy, McNally, Schacter, Lenzenweger, 2002).…

    Mass incarceration’s effects no doubt reach beyond the prison walls and impact the family. There are multiple negative effects out there impacting the families of the incarcerated, whether they be of blood relation or simply friends. One such theories that can impact the families of the incarcerated is called Bandura’s Theory of Modeling and Imitation. Bandura examined the learning processes of children, and if watching adults and how they interact can have an enduring effect on how children act or will act in the future. Interestingly, Bandura found, “that simply observing the behavior of others, especially adults, can have profound learning effects on the behavior of children” (Tibbets, 144).…

    This is an interesting concept, as it is an instance of manipulation of memory, but it could also be an instance of the construction of memory. While the government is emptying a person's memories and emotions, they create or alter different memories or knowledge within them to match what they believe. One of the most significant cases of the manipulation of memory within the novel is during Winston’s torture at the Ministry of Love. “... when each new suggestion of O’Brien’s had filled up a patch of…

    Psychologists are interested in studying memory illusions and distortions in order to discover how the memory works (Bartlett, 1932; Schacter, 2001). An interest in false memories arose in the 1900s, and led to people trying to discover if suggested influences can lead to remembering pseudo-events. A procedure was introduced where adults were given a description of a childhood event, and asked to remember them (Loftus and Pickrell, 1995). All of the events described would be true except for one. Eight studies used the familial-informant false-narrative procedure where narratives were read to test subjects and they were asked to remember them.…

    A few of the theories mentioned in this video were about smurfs, ash from Pokemon and Lizzie Mcguire being schizophrenic. The biggest theory discussed in this video was about how Rebecca Black’s song Friday may be about JFK’s assassination. Her song included lines like “gotta get down on Friday” which were the words that JFK’s security yelled at his wife at the time of the assassination, coincidentally on a Friday.

    Distortion Of Memory

    • 5 Pages

    Memory is the encoding, storage and retrieval of past events and experiences, it is present in the short term memory store and then transferred to the long term memory store. The retrieval of memory isn’t always accurate as memories become distorted over time. The distortion of these memories are due to some influencing factors such as language, age, reconstructive errors and emotion. Taking all these factors into consideration leads to the point that memory is only to some extent reliable. Language plays a big role in how we remember, language is used to convey how we remembered the event but it is also a influence on how we remembered the event.…
