Rum our(谣言)is the most primitive(原始的) way of spreading stories--- by passing them on from mouth to mouth.but civilized countries in normal times have better sources of news than rum our.They have radio, television, and newspapers.In times of confusion(混乱), however, rum our appears and becomes widespread.At such times the different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio against the grapevine.
Especially do rum ours spread when war requires control on many important matters.The normal news sources no longer give out enough information.Since the people can not learn through legal channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" wherever they can and when this happens, rum our grows.
Rum ours are often repeated even by those who do not believe the tales.There is an interest about them.The reason is that the cleverly designed rum our gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims --- the fears, doubts, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly.Pessimistic(悲观的)rum ours about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious mistic rum ours about record production or peace soon coming point to self- satisfaction or confidence---and often to over- confidence.
