Are there any examples of modern superstitions?

I'm not here to pour cold water on the expectant parents of the baby pig, nor to add fuel to the fire. I'm just saying some facts, that is, in 2007, it was not a golden pig but a local pig. Some media said "once in 60 years". Suppose this statement is correct and it is proved that 197 1 year is a golden pig, then 60 years should be 203 1 year, how can it be this year?

Who made up the lie of "Golden Pig"? Who manipulated public opinion? In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a golden pig or a local pig. But after being fooled by public opinion, it has evolved into a social problem. Of course, since last year, it may be just a coincidence that China has set off a craze for "golden pig babies". However, there are many "hipsters" who blindly pursue "Golden Pig Baby". What's more, superstition of the so-called "more pills" not only harms yourself, but also harms your own flesh and blood. The baby boom caused a shortage of hospital beds, and some people chose to give birth in different places. A new industry queuing for numbers was born. Recently, some people say that this "pig" is not gold but earth. As a result, some pregnant women decided to give up the "local pig baby" and asked the hospital to have a caesarean section in advance in the Year of the Dog. The far-reaching social impact is yet to come.

Although there are subjective factors that Chinese people blindly follow, we can't ignore the guiding role of public opinion. Some media added fuel to the flames, constantly deliberately rendering "once in 60 years", pushing people's mentality of pursuing "gold" to the extreme. Over the years, I don't know how many old customs have deteriorated into a deep-rooted superstition under the attention of modern media. At present, some readers suggest that the newspaper should open a "golden pig baby" edition. I think it is understandable to pay attention to early childhood education, but as the mainstream media, it is not appropriate to name the new version with the "golden pig" that does not conform to the facts in the current context. Let's cherish our rare social influence. In fact, in the face of hot topics that may cause social problems, as a media, under the current market-oriented conditions, it is more commendable to insist on speaking with facts and maintain a clear and unique right to speak, which can better reflect a great sense of social responsibility.

Now, who will be responsible for the consequences of going with the flow? No one in the province checked.
