They have been passed around through social media, the news, and even by word of mouth. Conspiracy theories can be exciting for some people because they pose a mystery as to whether or not they are actually true. Some conspiracy theories may even scare people because they create a distrust of the government. There are many different conspiracy theories that have been passed around in our society today. For example there is the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job, that JFK was assassinated by the mafia, and even that the Denver airport was created to house world leaders. Some conspiracy theories may seem too crazy and impossible to be true, but some really do cause people to question whether or not they are real.There are many ideas that surround some of the most important events and places that shape the culture of not only America, but the world. In the case of this study, we investigated one of the most intriguing conspiracies in the United States of America: The Denver International Airport (DIA). While some people may not know the theories behind this large transport center, there are also many believers that have research to support some terrifying scenarios that are supported by objects and images scattered throughout DIA. In order to gather information on this topic, the researchers gave out and collected written surveys with a series of questions based on the belief of theories and their impact on the country. The surveys were held on the campus of Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland on the date of November 16, 2018. The data collected showed that about half of those surveyed believed in conspiracy theories. The importance of this will help better understand the general campus population’s opinions on these theories.17 pagesen-USPublic Domain Mark 1.0Denver International Airport (DIA)Conspiracy theoriesText
