misinformation in the media is a huge issue affecting all citizens of this
country. Misinformation can be found is social media and on tv. People are
brainwashed to think a certain piece of information is true when in reality,
the fact nay have been altered or completely switched. Misinformation affects
voters who listen to the misinformation and believe that it is true and go to
the voting polls with that false information in mind. They vote for people or
policies based on the information they have gathered and may possibly vote for
something they would not normally vote for. This is dangerous to democrat since
voters are not voting for what they truly want for this country but what
someone else had said. Republic Democracy was established in the united states
as the main government type through the founding fathers because they wanted to
know what their citizens wanted for their country while the officials would
work for the people. Misinformation switches the roles of having the government
officials telling citizens what they believe is correct and hav e the people
work for the government. My head hurts so much and with all this clicking I hear
it is just making it worse so I dont feel like typing anything more.
I hate the government and anything
to do with politics because everything is so corrupt nowadays. The government
abuses the powers that they were given by spreading misinformation to innocent
citizens. I believe the main reason for corruption in the government is because
people are misinformed on many topics.
Research Question: Is intentional misinformation
spread by politicians and other people detrimental to American democracy?
Working thesis: Misinformation can mislead
citizens to make crucial decisions by relying on false information, potentially
leading them to making a vote they might not normally make which is why
misinformation is a threat to Americans and American democracy.
Reasons:
- Politicians; global warming
- People outside U.S.; pizzagate, Germany
- Noncredible sources within the country; welfare, two newspapers about voting
Counterargument: not everyone remembers what they see or hear??
