The Influence Of Information On The Government

“What happens to a society that cannot distinguish between reality and illusion?” As our country crumbles and our economy crashes, Chris Hedges asks this one question to his readers. Throughout his article, “American Psychosis,” he provides hit after hit of shocking proof that reveals the United States to not only be in desperate need of change, but also that the American people, with their obtuse nationalism and selfish greed, are blissfully ignorant of what could possibly be the downfall of this country. Hedges wants his reader to be shocked at the startling facts that he throws at them, to be angry at him for saying what must be blatant lies and exaggerations, and then to be inquisitive, to discover for themselves just how real the problems of the United States are and how dire the consequences can become. Hedges uses this article as a warning, he desperately wants his readers to understand just how bad things really are and he wants them to be inspired to change it, to stop whatever dark future that could happen. In this article, Hedges touches many subjects: Americans and

The purpose of this section of the talk is to show people’s desire to ignore the truth about the state of their country, and to warn against doing so.

Bush was very clear in his speech that he wanted to send his sincere thoughts to America. He was specifically speaking to the American people, but in the bigger picture, he was speaking to America’s

The author directs a scathing degree of indignation toward the blinded American people and, equally, the evil celebrities who are misleading them, while letting the root of the problem slip right between his accusatory fingers. He rattles off half a page of governmental failings that are slowly killing our economy, our families, and our globe at large, and then proceeds to blame the American people for…

When Bush addressed the nation, he had to assure the American people of their country’s strength, which would undoubtedly triumph through this unthinkable misfortune. George W. Bush states, “These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong (Eidenmuller).” This shows how Bush is trying to create an emotional connection to the audience by instilling in Americans that our country must remain unified and strong during this time of terror. Bush also states, “These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve (Eidenmuller). This statement testifies that our country cannot be broken, and our country will prevail. About one-in-five Americans cite the country’s response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as the time in their lives when they felt most proud of their country (Gramlich). This indicates just how powerful our country can be if everyone works together. The terrorist attacks on the United States will forever be burned into the memories of Americans. That being the case, Bush’s attempt at creating an emotional connection to the audience was successful because he brought the country together with words of strength.

The evening news is ripe with controversial legislation, policy and debate from the lawmakers of the United States. Some of the most interesting headlines in recent history discuss the huge battles on labor laws in Wisconsin and Iowa, the anticipation of a Republican front runner for the upcoming Presidential elections, and discussion of our nation’s ability to understand and predict future happenings in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Any of these topics could spark a heated conversation in any coffee house or roadside diner in this country but perhaps there is no issue which stays on the forefront, which riles testy tempers, and which needs to be discussed so much as this country’s policies on

The election of Donald Trump exposed the depths of division in America today, and the duration of his presidency, no matter how long, will be a true test of this nation. No doubt, we are about to step onto the longest roller coaster ride of most of our lives, and none of us lined up for it. Nonetheless, this is our reality now. All that is left to do is deal with it.

Throughout the first week of THE 225, many events took place within America that took the country by surprise. Trump’s inauguration was last Friday, January 20th, and already he has made drastic changes that will affect the lives of millions. His policies are based off sexist and racist claims that people have, for some odd reason, supported. With his new, corrupt policies, life in America will soon be set back decades because of his white supremacy mentality. Because of this, the nation has never been so divided since the Civil Rights Movement, something that was seemingly done with but clearly not if white supremacy becomes an issue. Although Trump’s America is not an ideal America and his claim to “Make American Great Again” implies

Look at what happened in Paris. I mean these people; they did not come from Sweden. Okay? Look at what happened last week in California with, you know fourteen people dead. Other people going to die they are so badly injured. We have a real problem.” This part of Trumps response attempts to make people expect immigrants coming into America are looking to do harm and he supports this statement with the shared experience of the tragic attacks on Paris in November of 2015.

What will you do if you have access to everyone’s personal information? In “Your Digital Trail, and How it Can Be Used Against You” from NPR, author G.W. Schulz & Daniel Zwerdling describe how easy the government or any other agency could get people’s personal information. After the rise of crime and terrorist attacks in the US, the government passed an ACT in order to get access to citizens’ health information. A research warrant, a court order or a subpoena are also used to get anyone’s personal information. While some people mention that having access to American’s personal information could help prevent crimes, be more secure or help to catch criminals, others argue that they do not have privacy, could be used against us or third parties could have easy access. I believe the US government should be allowed to use digital information because could help to find lost people, could be used for criminal prosecution and help to protect the life of others.

Mr. Robert is obviously manifesting the hasty generalization fallacy, his statement refers as to all Americans being the same, just because he feels Trump is arrogant, belligerent, dishonest and motivated by sheer avarice. Trump does not represent America; if that is the case he is representing himself.

His presidential campaign exuded a rhetoric that was incendiary and projected his opinionated viewpoint on various minorities and solidified his stance on them. Donald Trump has encouraged, normalised and even started prejudiced, biased and violent behaviour patterns

The tragic events that occurred on September 11th, 2001 will live on forever in the history of the United States as citizens shed fresh tears for those lost every year. Hundreds upon thousands of articles have been written since the life-shattering catastrophic event, most of which – unsurprisingly – focus on the politics of the entire situation. In one article, “9/11,” Susan Sontag ruthlessly criticizes the government response following the attacks, making bold claims that they were withholding information from the public and leaving citizens blind and ignorant. Though Sontag is effective in describing a valid argument against the government’s response after the events of 9/11, her success is lost in her failed establishment of ethos in her lacking appearance of knowledge, little fairness toward the government’s side, and lost credibility due to inadequate facts and strong emotions.

Most countries were outraged by what was said by the man who was chosen to be America’s President. It was thought of as disgraceful, and even broke bridges with former allies. Russia seemed to be pleased with what was said, which also caused concern from other countries. The article which features surveys illustrates several things. One of the illustrations in this article shows America's favorability around the word. There are also surveys illustrating views of Americans. These surveys show views on Obama’s viewpoints to personal views on climate change. This basically depicts how personal opinions differ from people around the world. In conclusion, after researching these topics, questions have been answered. The questions about people views on the world and particularly America were analyzed. This essay was kept as unbiased as possible, but a few new questions have been produced. These questions relate to change. They also relate to utopias and dystopias and the role of politics on daily life. Hopefully these questions will be answered relating back to logical explanation and

He repeats the idea of America being one unit throughout the majority of his speech. After he belittles Obama’s America, he then develops the idea that America is not a country of subgroups, but one giant family. Trump mentions that the pain the poor and the
