It is essential to recognize that selfishness and wickedness can exist in society. If an expert says so, I trust them 100% Trusting experts is generally a good practice; however, blind trust without critical evaluation can lead to being misled. Experts can make mistakes or have biases. Agreeing with this statement suggests a tendency towards naivety in evaluating information critically. If television says so, it is certainly true This reflects a naive acceptance of media as an infallible source of truth. Media can be biased or sensationalized, and agreeing with this statement indicates a lack of skepticism that is characteristic of naivety. When someone plays a joke on me, I often fall for it Falling for jokes or pranks can suggest a trusting nature and perhaps a lack of awareness about social cues or intentions behind actions. This could indicate naivety in social interactions. Democracy empowers the people to decide everything While democracy does allow for public participation in decision-making, it does not guarantee that all decisions made by the populace are wise or beneficial. Believing this unconditionally may reflect an oversimplified understanding of governance and societal complexities. People are 99 percent good and honest: wickedness is the exception Similar to the first statement, this viewpoint suggests an overly optimistic view of humanity that may not account for historical and contemporary evidence of wrongdoing.
