How Does News Influence Critical Thinking

Media that could reflect the real America should be based on diversity of views, pluralism of opinion as the American society. First of all, when someone provides the truth of the actual situation, that person is automatically called a “whistle blower”. There are not many of those people, which are willing to expose all secrets that would benefit the society by finding out the actual story. As Goldberg elaborates in his insider book, danger is a big risk factor to them, losing a job for example, takes a lot of courage or foolishness to do that. Goldberg states that it should be normal common sense for the media give accurate information, which surprisingly does not happened in

Passing gun control legislation that creates a universal background check and gun database system as well as passing mental health legislation that improves the health care system’s protocols and policies for assisting people with mental health disorders and that enacts counseling programs in communities and schools will decrease the likelihood of mass shootings in schools. The United States is bitterly divided. Issues of great concern, such as the rise of mass shootings, are partisanized. Both sides of the debate will not comprise or listen to what their opponents have to say. Groups from both sides can only agree that one innocent life taken from gun violence is one too many.

Fox, CNN, The New York Times, The White House press secretary, The Wall Street Journal, Mouth to Ear, Books, Google, all ways to get you information fast and reliably. But the information they give isn’t always the whole truth. What tidbit of information the media leaves out to what page they are on is all at their own discretion, and all the more intentional. You can only hear what the major sources of information want you to hear, because the media biases their information. A practice often executed today.

There have been 141 people killed in a mass murder or attempted mass murder at a school since the Columbine Shootings. (Pearle) Sandy Hook Elementary School, Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, and University of Texas at Austin are just a few examples of the tragic events that we are reminded of during debates on gun control. It is foolish to believe that having stricter laws on guns will control the school shooting epidemic. With this argumentative essay, I hope to provide multiple sustainable reasons why harsher laws on guns will not stop mass school shootings. To begin, after the shock of the tragic events, the world begins to analyze the shooter’s mental capacity.

Fox News is one of the most famous channels in America with millions of viewers. Since 1996 when you and Roger Ailes started the news channel, it has been growing fast and furiously over two decades. It has served as a great media for American audience with its quality news report and extensive coverage of information during the time of controversies. However, Fox New Channel has been accused for biased reporting and delivering one-sided political opinion over the years, too. For a news channel, having a bad reputation for biased content is critical to its credibility.

The news should keep the government true and honest. The actions of President Trump’s press staff so far have been questionable. Spicer’s ‘alternative facts’ were questioned by Todd, making Conway have to come to his defensive. Todd has made an effort to make President Trump’s administration to stop using lies to get people onto his side. Though, Conway’s methods of trying to get Todd off of what Spicer said only brought light into the problems with lying within the administration.

With the rise of school shootings, one would be quick to assume that restricting ownership of firearms would solve the problem. However, the issue stems further than just guns. The tragedy at Virginia Tech may reveal to us something about how a young man could be compelled to commit shocking actions, but it does not advise us very much about gun control. Recently, not many distinguished Americans have tried to use the college massacres as an argument for gun control. A logic for this is that we are in a middle of a presidential race in which popular Republican candidates are mindful that advocating gun control can earn them votes.

Roadmap The issue of gun control has been controversial for years and it is far from being resolved. This paper’s intent is not to pick and choose a side but to explore the different opinions and to look at past court cases and current legislation on gun control to gain a wider perspective on the issue. Some believe that firearm regulation is a safety net and thereby prevents crime from occurring. Others argue that those who are planning to commit a crime are not opposed to finding illegal methods of obtaining firearms while the ordinary citizen will not go to those drastic lengths and therefore are more vulnerable due to the ‘roadblocks’ those regulations can become.

Many schools in today’s society suffer from shootings at some point while children are attending school. Shootings in schools are not a new occurrence, and America has dealt with multiple shootings in public schools in which the lives of many children and teachers have been undeservingly taken (Elliott 528). Because of school shootings, this leaves our children in danger with no way to protect themselves. Gun violence in schools is an evident problem, and there are several ways to reduce the number of incidents, such as mental health screening for owners of guns, interconnectedness of communities, and more school funding.

On the issue of gun control, I had always thought along the lines of opposing or supporting the issue but had never thought that there could be another argument different from these two main ones that could be discussed. It was therefore quite refreshing to look at the issue from Novak’s point of view. The fact that he provided evidence to support his claim that law enforcement has worked before in reducing gun violence cases made his article all the more interesting and believable. He shows that the debate on gun control may just have been pointless all this time as the issue that should be discussed is really not whether people should have guns or not but rather how to enforce the law to ensure that perpetrators of gun violence are

In today’s society, one of the most alienating issues in American politics is gun control. More specifically, the issue is whether or not guns should be banned in the United States. Some people would say that guns should be banned because it would reduce crime as a whole and keep citizens safer. These people, enthusiasts of stricter gun laws, fear being safe in their country where there are so many people who have access to guns. Opponents of this argument, however, also fear losing safety.

I believe the majority of media outlets are liberal companies rather than conservative. Democrats are often known as liberals while republicans are known as conservatives. Media critics say that liberal bias exists in a wide variety of media networks,

Reporters, writers, and hosts will exaggerate things to make them more interesting, so everything they say should be questioned. Their job is to get as many viewers as possible. They often don’t even say where they got their information, which as we know from being students means that they are not a reliable source. Due to the election segments there was less time for the what I like to call the “filler stories”. I toured a tv station and in part of the interview we got with one of the producers she spoke about how difficult it can be to fill the whole time slot with information.

If the media would report information as it happens with factual information, American would be left to interpret the data how they see fit. The Americans ' background and socialization will allow the information to be digested and interpreted in specific way. The media needs to be a platform to share information on a specific topic accurately, not a place to advance one 's
