Test 3 Writing 2

The media is one of the most important tools of a government. It remarkably helps the government to shape its

citizens. Since people get easily affected from what they see on TV or what they read on newspaper, the content of

the news has a big role in changing their moods. As the bad news are increased, the general moral of the people

decreases; but when they see a lot of good news, then they become relatively more content. But shouldn’t the news

be showing us what is happening in our country or around the globe as exactly how it is happening?

For most of the politicians, the mood of the citizens is a quite important matter, since what they say and how they

are understood indeed depend on the moral of the public. For their advantage, the content of media is critical for

the politicians. Although we can also see some relatively independent and apolitical news agencies on TV or radio,

we generally know what the government want us to know.

In my perspective, though, the media must always have its independency just like the law, and people should not be

hypnotized by the nations. Yet, of course, this situation will not change since the politicians want to keep this power

in their hands, but it does not mean that we have nothing to prevent ourselves from being involved in this

unrightness. We should be aware of the fact that the media is an instrument and even a weapon of governments

and regardless of being dependent or not, it will always be filtered. Just as we cannot see a landscape in the same

way from different perspectives, can we never exactly know a story when it is told by someone else.

I humbly suggest people to find reliable and honest news agencies from the internet, since they are more likely to be

separate from the government and the political sights.
