Op-ed

     Do you read the newspaper everyday and read about what is going on politically in other countries? And if you do read the newspaper, do you believe it comes from a reliable source or that it is up to date with the current situation in that country? These are some questions we should ask our self’s when making informed opinions or when discussing topics about another country. In order to support our opinions we need to have the facts and evidence to state the point that is currently going on in that country.

     Like every country, has their own problem that they have to deal with. And I personally believe that we are not politically aware, and it doesn’t matter from which part of the world we are, we still judge and assume information that we consider to be true. Most of the people don’t take the necessary time to actually do their research and understand why that country is going through a harsh and difficult time. Most people just assume things when that’s not really the case for their situation.

     There are a lot of newspapers and T.V. stations that provide incorrect and unreliable material to which most people believe that that general information is true when it might not be. Distinctive television stations and newspaper print or air the evidence they only want the overall public to hear or suppose that that is the correct and only information available. The newspaper or T.V. stations pick side on who’s ever side they want to be on. However, there are some newspapers and television stations that do provide the accurate information that is up to date and they have their own reliable individuals to gather that information to later be distributed through articles in the newspaper or through the half hour show that comes out on television every night.

     The result from this produces mal-informed citizens, which has caused us to think based on the evidence that is not correct or up to date with the recent situation. Maybe this is why, we as the population of this world should not judge or assume things about the information that is given to us through the newspapers or through the television.

     Although, I still do believe that a maximum amount of the residents are not politically aware, no matter where they are, and it doesn’t matter where we hear our news from about our political problems or about the different countries, we still believe only have we want to believe.
