Since being sworn into office, a little over a month ago, President Trump has made a lot of decisions and statements. He has tried to deface the value of news media by calling it fake news, and only allowing information from the government he approves of. After this Trump decided to call news media outlets “the enemy of the people”, and then blocking most major news sources from attending conferences. By attacking the media and trying to control media Trump is on a path that mimics many dictatorships, furthermore it is an attempt to control the population by keeping them in

    Electorate Promotes Democracy

    With propaganda constantly being publicized, it becomes easy for the average voter to become persuaded and swayed. Checking the source and reliability of media is important. However, many are willing to blindly follow what is publicized without knowing the validity of it which therefore can ultimately lead to widespread hysteria based on a possible fallacy. In time of disruption, it becomes easy for one to become vulnerable to propaganda. Ultimately, with lack of political knowledge and lack of motivation to be active in politics, it makes it easier for cable news shows to influence a potential electorate’s thoughts and beliefs which in turn plays a role as they cast their…

    Executive Power Run Amok And What Can The President Really Do

    In the articles, “Executive Power Run Amok” and “What Can the President Really Do,” both authors mainly discussed about what rights a president whether has and took President Donald Trump’s actions as an example to show how the executive branch runs amok, or behaves disruptively. Presidential candidates make lots of promises such as repeal unpopular laws and lower taxes. Yet, those promises won’t be completely fulfilled since a president’s power will be limited by the other two branches. Today, Mr. Trump’s use of power making several superfluous orders that unfairly affect many people becomes a controversial issue because it leads to lack of system in the executive branch.…

    Never Trump Persuasive Essay

    I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook — whatever I could do to try to stop a really bad person from wrecking the Republican Party and damaging the nation. NeverTrump was my obsession, but it was, at that time, merely political for me.…

There are many people who are not against what the president thinks about other ethnicities. White supremacists are saying hateful things to other people and are causing them to get mad. These then end up in violent fights and rallies.…

    Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Analysis

    Media plays a hand on the information the public receives and to an extent how they digest that information. Media’s purpose now seems to help fuel controversies instead of shedding light on what is important. For instance, when Obama was elected president instead of focusing on the fact that we made history; the focus was on what Donald Trump was doing to undermine Obama’s legitimacy. Interviews were conducted and shows were shown where Trump asked Obama to prove that he was an American citizen. This has never occurred before where a president had to prove who he was to one man.…

    Donald Trump's Rhetoric Of Honor Killings

    Politically we live in a quite polarizing time. Between the two viable presidential candidates and an equal amount of dissatisfaction of those candidates on both sides, the fate of this country is seemingly up in the air. Though the election holds a discernable amount of media coverage and attention of the public every term the media coverage of this particular election has been dominated by the hateful rhetoric and call to violence of a particular candidate. The candidate calling for this violence is Donald Trump, he on multiple occasions has called for violence against protesters telling his audience how he would like to see them “punched or maimed”. Encouraging his supporters to do so by promising to cover their legal fees if they get arrested…

    At a rally in Phoenix on Tuesday, the President called journalists "liars" and "sick people" who are fomenting "division" in the country and "trying to take away our history and our heritage." And he repeatedly portrayed the news media as an enemy of the American people, recalling his claims to that effect from February. "I really think they don't like our country. I really believe that," Trump said.…

    Arguments In Status Update

    In Status Update, Marwick states “Status is a powerful tool that reveals the values and assumptions shared by a group; it shows power dynamics and the limits of egalitarian ideals.” President Trump has become “Twitter-armed”, he has so much power and influence towards many big parties that one of his tweets can possibly start a war. Many Twitter users have raised questions such as why POTUS Twitter account hasn't been deactivated since he has broken some rules such as sent threats, harassed others, and encourages illegal activities. But, because he is the POTUS and if they shut him down, the American people will be left in the dark. An opposing argument can be that he shouldn't be an exception and should face the consequences like everyone…

    Donald Trump is another representation of the degradation of politics, a man with no tact flaunts his wealth and uses it to gain support for his election. The worst part is that half of the country is willing to vote for him, Trump does not have the country’s best interest at heart, instead he will use the power to reform laws for his corporations to gain…

    Donald Trump Banality Of Evil Analysis

    The United States takes pride on the ideology of supporting freedom, even naming itself “the land of the free” despite the many issues “minorities” have faced throughout its entire history. Nevertheless, many Americans believed that the United States has shown progress and has become more open, providing more opportunities for people of color, women, the LGBT community and so forth. However, with the election of Donald Trump as president, many of the Ideologies of America's past has unveiled itself in full view. The main issue of this all is having the leader of the “free world” being the one who represents all of America's negative qualities such as sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. Here is where our society may be affected by the “banality…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump And The Politics Of Fear '

    The slogan that propelled Donald Trump into his influence across the nation, “make America great again,” shows that Trump sees America has fallen downhill and has hopes to improve it. Trump wants to see this country go back to the prosperous country it once was, but he does not know how to filter his words according to most, which makes him seem frightening. Despite Clinton’s accusation about the risk of Donald Trump, his clever use of scare tactics gives voters a sense of security because of his ideas concerning immigration and terrorism. According to Molly Ball, author of “Donald Trump and the Politics of Fear,” Donald Trump uses fear to his advantage in hopes of winning the presidential election.…

    The Perception Of Power In Plato's Allegory Of The Cave

    People cannot judge the world based on the reportings of these conglomerates, who prioritize turning a profit over providing accurate and objective stories to the public; rather, people need to step out of this “cave” of sorts, and take in the full scope of the world’s most controversial issues. The large institutions are first and foremost businesses, and will screen out news that poses as a threat to their company or allies, such as the government; this leads to largely misguided citizenry, and it takes exposing these citizens to the other reality through sites like Democracy Now!, to open up their eyes. The “cave” of the contemporary world, corporate media propagates ignorance on a massive scale through their often equivocal broadcasts, and it is not until the news transforms from the business that it isto the neutral documentation of current events that it should be, that knowledge and understanding willl abound in the…
