Elements of Verification game

Hello everyone !

Now I'm back with an interesting game (it's actually more like a TEST but I just called that a GAME. And that's confusing now haha). Let's see what I have done through this !

I chose the second one "Information Meltdown". The story was about a girl named Neelam Varshi, she was about to heading to Boston to see her mom and complete her mission as her boss offered her to be responsible for. Before taking off, she found out the news through the environmentalist's blogger that her fiancee's friend posted. The news felt a bit too conspiracy theorist, also the situation did sound dangerous to keep her heading forward. Anyway, the decision I picked out for her is to JUMP ON THE PLANE because I think there's nothing to be panic about as long as they did not announce and cancel all the flights. After the flight landed safely in Boston, Neelam rechecked the news again. She read with concern and it seemed that reporters tried to omit information, not to be on top stories. So she went through many blogs to get information of this situation as much as she can. Then she received her fiancee's call, he told her to be careful where she was right now. Neelam hesitated and decided to call her aunt. The bad news she got from her aunt is there's an explosion outside and it'd be more safely not to come out. But for her score point at the firm and her future career is waiting her in the following morning, if I was her, I'd decide to WAIT AT THE AIRPORT AND GET THE HOTEL ROOM FOR THE NIGHT, and let see if situation slow down. Well, the result gave me that Neelam couldn't complete her work because it was too late and she missed to see her mom.

This story brings me a good lesson learnt in verifying news that how am I supposed to do in this kind of situation if I was Neelam. You guys should take a look and don't forget to share with me !

P.S: I know this is too longgggg but thanks for reading. 

See you next post ! :)
