LATAH and the Important of reading in detail

This is so funny when you live in Indonesia watching people have a disease called "latah". The symptom of latah is they reactively and repeatedly response everything that shock them. This video is an example. You can searching youtube or google with key "latah".

The first phase, lighweight phase is when people repeatedly response some shocking expression from people around them/him/her. I dont know why this can happen but i think they unconciusly do that. Friends or the people around them often shocking them, mischievous, to rising this "latah" till they got tired.  

The next phase is when people response with movement from shocking yelling and shocking movement. Just like hypnotized and the people still stay on that phase along their life. Can you imagine when they pick a gun and the shocking think is suicide yelling or killing people. Or the most simple when they are in the kitchen and take a knife. If some people shout "stab" and creature in front of him/her is finished. This is very very dangerous. What if this disease spread around the country? You can destroy a nation with a shocking yelling.

Unfortunately this disease have been spread around the world, especially in indonesia. The trigger is the title of the article of mainstream media or any kind of title they watch. More than half people indonesia do that and they are concious. The latah disease wake up not from their origin but from their laziness. People to lazy to read fulltext. Just like the expression : "dont judge a book by cover" or "dont judge people by their apearance" and they actually judge the book by its cover and people by their apearence.  

Some of news maker making news with bombastic title or negative statement with question mark. Then ordinary people with latah disease accept the title without the question mark and without the full text. Some people directly blame and the other agree and support without knowing what happen. 

Just like the latah man, you can make a country be a latah country with the press. And with this disease you can make a war.
