From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A rumor or rumour (see spelling differences), is often viewed as "an unverified account or explanation of events circulating from person to person and pertaining to an object, event, or issue in public concern" (33) However, a review of the research on rumor conducted by Pendleton in 1998 found that research across sociology, psychology, and communication studies had widely varying definitions of rumor. Thus, rumor is a concept that lacks a particular definition in the social sciences. But most theories agree that rumor involves some kind of a statement whose veracity is not quickly or ever confirmed. In addition, some scholars have identified rumor as a subset of propaganda, the latter another notoriously difficult concept to define. A pioneer of propaganda studies, Harold Lasswell defined propaganda in 1927 as referring "solely to the control of opinion by significant symbols, or, to speak more concretely and less accurately, by stories, rumors, reports, pictures, and other forms of social communication" (1927:9). Rumors are also often discussed with regard to "misinformation" and "disinformation" (the former often seen as simply false and the latter seen as deliberately false, though usually from a government source given to the media or a foreign government). Rumors thus have often been viewed as particular forms of other communication concepts. Psychology of Rumor (1902)French and German social science research on rumor locates the modern scholarly definition of it the pioneering work of the German Louis William Stern in 1902. Stern experimented on rumor involving a "chain of subjects" who passed a story from "mouth to ear" without the right to repeat or explain it. He found that the story was shortened and changed by the time it reached the end of the chain. His student was another pioneer in the field, Gordon Allport. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What exactly is the trade rumor between the Bulls & Heat? Q. I read an article in the paper today that said Dwyane Wade is ignoring rumors that the Heat are considering trading him to the Bulls. What exactly is the rumor, though? I assume it involves the #1 pick but what would each team be sending to the other? That's really the rumor? I can't imagine the Heat going for that unless they were on crack rock. Asked by Shining217 - Tue Jun 3 15:16:27 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The trade would involve Chicago giving up the #1 draft selection for Miami's Dwayne Wade and either the #2 draft selection or a combination of other Heat players.

Hey all, i was wondering if i could unlock a Lg Rumor or Samsung Rant onto my current Verizon network. Honestly I'm not really impressed with any Verizon phones right now because i want a slide out keyboard, and everyone has told me the Glyde is a waste of money. Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks. Asked by Skatefreak1001 - Tue Jan 20 13:24:36 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. All phones can be unlocked. You can use any phone that is compatible with the provider. I believe Verizon used CDMA technology so any CDMA unlocked phone will work. Good telephone stores unlock phones for $15-20 and only takes 5 minutes.
