4. It is possible to distinguish two types of rumors:
• One more general, to the extent that would have to do with
almost all communication, not only with exceptional events
atypical.
• And another more particular, to the extent that almost
inevitably efectuarían select from a much more complex
phenomenon than the first investigators thought.

6. The rumor and bullying that occurs by the interaction
of the two produces a progressive deterioration and
general human relations.
The rumor, devastating effects on individual and group
experience so it becomes bullying.
The sound transcends unaudited information to
establish its veracity.
Moreover, the human tendency is to believe more
readily those comments tend to be scathing or
undermine the moral integrity of another person. The
paradox of the rumor is that the more bizarre and
sordid, the more credible it is for those who listen and
transmit.
7. When information is not corroborated, not evidence or justified, then it
falls into a pattern of proliferation of rumors, which becomes
irresponsible to publicize reports that can not be justified.
The problem becomes greater when using mass dissemination
platforms such as television, radio or internet.
The entertainment and television shows has built a style of information
that is creating a kind of implicit permission to say whatever comes to
mind to turn commentator, without considering the consequences of
what they will say. It seems that the rumor has become a substitute for
the truth.
8. What people seem to rumors?

And he did not understand.
The next day the same, and spent five, six,
seven days and the same.
Then the Lord says to his wife:
Hey, you know that every day a man says:
"Cuckold Goodbye".
And the next day when he left the house the
same man said:
Above cuckold, gossip!
