By telling the public that the Big Brother has a book that is terrible book and suggesting that the Party’s totalitarian way is the best way, this makes the population of Oceania believe that this is what’s best for them by using Propaganda. In both examples, these groups use the ignorance of the population in order to fool them out of a democracy and causes people to support the promise of a better life.

What Nixon plan was first to have “His aids to avoid all contact with critical journals” (Lukas 32), and for certain reporters who didn’t bring up questions about Watergate “Rewarded a few friendly reporters with exclusive interviews or tips” (Lukas 32). This would’ve kept the reporters away from discussing Watergate. Still many believe the truth is being hold back from the public, so the press keeps pushing it down Nixon and anyone possibly took role in the event. A hatred was born between the messengers and the writer. Shown in Patrick J. Buchanan The Media Hated Nixon and Drove Him from Office from Alex Cruden “Watergate” states “The media and political establishments hated Nixon” (Buchanan 78).

Political rivals could stop plans from moving forward because they disliked the writer of those plans. Alexander Hamilton wrote, “The only enemy that the republic had to fear is the effects of political parties. It will prevent the government from achieving its goals and create disorder…”(Document 2). Alexander Hamilton wrote this document to criticize his opponents, however in this he also criticizes political parties. Also in the same letter he states, “...harmful to the principles of good government and dangerous to the union, peace and happiness of this country…”

Davidsson explains that the assumption that conspiracy theories are a paranoia style made media critical of presenting such theories. Hence, the media’s report obtained from the government blinded the public into believing Al-Qaeda, a radical Islamic terrorist, was responsible for the attack. Davidsson gave numerous examples to show the US government’s constant obsession with secrecy regarding what had happened on 9/11. Davidsson makes it clear to readers that the US government has not provided any legitimate evidence that shows the nineteen hijackers relationship with Al-Qaeda.

V said, " People shouldn 't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. " V for Vendetta and Anthem are both very intriguing stories full of symbolism. V for Vendetta mainly deals with a group of people filled with disbelief towards their media and eventually adopt the idea of taking down the government.

In a race and ethnicity column titled “And Now; Anti Semitism”, published in December 2010, The Nation columnist Jonathan Schell described Glen Beck as the latest in a cabal of deranged demagogues hyping anti-Semitism sentiments in the modern day. The repudiation follows the accusation by the leading Fox News commentator that Soros was running a shadowy government whose mandate was to topple the American political system. Jonathan pits Beck in a long line of conservative demagogues, who include entertainers such as Michel Savage and Rush Limbaugh. The writer also accused Beck of injecting the most virulent and dangerous accusations into the American

Lies destroy trust and relationship between people. So, Johan became a victim of his lies. What would I have done in Michael 's situation? The only one personal quality drives me crazy: it is a lie. I always ask people, to be honest with me and no matter how much the truth can harm me.

Article Analysis In my editorial, Ross Douthat criticizes President Donald Trump for his mistakes which alienate even some of his supporter base. Douthat focuses on two main problems Trump 's criticisms of Jeff Sessions and his mistakes in dealing with the Russia investigation. The author is trying to convince the reader that Trump is not fit to be president given his periodic out lashes against those who anger him although it is mostly due to his seemingly unstable mindset.

In both worlds, citizens are subject to monitoring, the government and police force has unmonitored control that they use their advantage and the crumbling social organizations that are leading people to become bankrupt. The importance of realizing that our world is similar to Orwell’s 1984, is so we can prevent and become more aware of what our society is becoming. People like Edward Snowden and Samuel Dubose are both examples are people taking an action against these similarities. Snowden, speaking out when the CIA was becoming more invasive and Samuel Dubose’s story helps bring clarity and realization to otherwise “thoughtless” people that don’t question our society. If everyone in America were to fight for what they believe in, then we can change the

For instance, the article states, “Once a person finds out you lied, you lose currency in their eyes” (NBC, para 12). This demonstrates that lying causes distrust in relationships. Also, one lie can result in major rifts in relationships. Furthermore, the author writes, “Very few would admit to thinking it was OK to lie on a resume, cheat on taxes or lie to a spouse about an extramarital affair” (NBC, para 15). This shows that americans believe that lying is terrible, especially for specific circumstances.

A bias that I have developed so far in this class is that it made me cynical. I have developed this through readings in which people have used their discourse to manipulate others. A big factor in this bias is the book Holy Terrors, in which Osama bin Laden and George Bush are using discourse to manipulate the people of their countries to join in their political agenda, even if they are in the wrong. Bush telling the media that they could only broadcast certain clips of Osama, so that people would not feel as though he is just another leader trying to do good for his people. Bush wanted us to feel like Osama was evil and this played a big role on my cynical views.

They are just hiding the fact that they are bad people and they make bad decision. I just hate how this book basically ignored the fact that George W . Bush was a bad president, which was responsible for sending our troops to get even with a bunch of terrorists. His rushed executive orders has put countless of soldiers in the Middle East and we are just getting troops out of the Middle East now. This book is expressing a very arrogant

In the book, 63 Documents The Government Doesn’t Want You To Read, it explains how the government keeps so much information from us, the American people. The book is a great one for the American people at whole and should be used to open the minds of the Americans. It describes actual incriminating documents the government tries to hide from Americans. As well as programs that show how un- American government officials really are.

Researchers say that this is due to the fact that people have “feelings of political powerlessness.” They believe that the government is such a powerful force that it would leave the regular people defenseless if they were actually conspiring. Because of this, people tend to blame and create conspiracy theories to make the people who are most powerful seem like they are at fault. When applied to 9/11, we can see use this information to understand how someone would be able to come to wondering if the government were behind the attacks. This falls back under Jan-Willem van Prooijen’s research that was mentioned, who found that people who believe conspiracy theories are those who feel that they lack control in their lives.

If the reader actually thinks about this statement and does not just skim over it, then they would notice how sad this statement actually is. The people only hear what their government wants them to hear. The United States is no different, but the media is not controlled to the same extent it is in North Korea. Zinser uses this statement to make the reader think about we can learn from media and how making it into a comedy show the audience does not take seriously. Another place Zinser uses emotional appeal is when he wrote, “Journalist, like Tom Fenton have blamed the media for failing to anticipate the pre-9/11 threat posed by terrorism” (Graff 364).
