The person I look up to and admire the most is a man named Paul Joseph Watson, a reporter for the online news outlet called Infowars.com. There, Paul covers stories the media won't touch, reporting on culture, politics and conspiracies, which are often shoved to the side due to controversy, and pc culture. In a world where facts seem to get ignored, it's nice to see someone tell it like it is, in a way where there's no repercussions. He's never scared to report a story either, even when it results in death threats, and people screaming obscenities at him. Which, is the norm in his type of work. There's something I respect about a man who can have a clear argument with someone argues back …show more content…
Unlike others he believes there is nothing wrong with it, because islam is not a race, it's an idea, and every idea is up for criticism. Speaking about Islam is no easy task though, and there's always major backlash. With videos such as, “Islam Is Not A Religion Of Peace,” and “ The Truth About Islamophobia” he covers it in depth the violence that is prevalent in Islam, while addressing on the fact that not all people who believe in Islam are violent but they do subscribe to a violent belfie system. With this subject, often depressing and disgusting news articles come out, and are pushed to the side due to political correctness. Now, you can't criticize this belief system without getting death threats and hated by people who support the religion, even if they are not part it themselves, but who will say the problems that the religion has caused? Who will say anything about the Muslim refugee crises? Who will support of the reformations that Islam desperately needs survive through the 21 century? Since its such a dangerous act to speak about this religion many shy away, but Paul never does. As Soon as there's been an attack in the name of Isis or in the name of Islam, he's there, with nothing but the truth, even if all the facts aren't on his side. In speaking about Islam, paul has written some truly disturbing articles and have made some sicking videos, one being called, “ The Rape Of Europe,” where he …show more content…
In the end, he is just a reporter, but i believe, he has defiantly made and impact. Even if the impact was just on me. Thanks to him, once controversial topics are now freely being discussed and argued. Hes paved the way to actually discuss these things without becoming a total social pariah. Hes inspired more youtubers to to the same thing, but with different perspectives. What he does is fearless, and it inspires me. It makes me have pride in my country, because he points out all the freedoms we have that the other world doesn't. It's bittersweet because then he shows the people who are trying to take away our freedoms and that our trying to censor us. He shows an incredible example of awareness, and perspective. Though I don't want a job in journalism, and I dont think ill be doing anything close to what he's doing right now, I think his mindset, speaking skills, awareness is something to definitely try to intimate by adapting them into my everyday situations and daily life. He inspires me to be a better person, to learn about what's happening in the world, to learn about our government, to take a second or third look at things. He taught me to never be content, and to always want some more, and to always strive to be a better person. He may not be exactly, “the wing beneath my wings,” but he's definitely someone who has impacted my life in a positive way, and I think he's a great role
