Journalism

         I do not know much about journalism. I am going to guess it is common knowledge though, in which writers and journalists take notes on other people and record their oral thoughts and stories. In a way, I do believe it gives us genuine sight on the ignorance of the community. Considering how polarized our nation is, most people spotted on the streets are probably going to have different opinions from one another. For example, the topic of abortion. This act of killing a baby before it is born may sound disgusting and inhumane yet there are many people that believe in it. Clearly, I am on the opposing side and do not pledge for abortion, which evidently explains the controversy that America is facing. Writing allows us to recognize how exactly disputed an issue is. People from the ghettos, people from the gated communities, people on the streets. We are all people and we all have a sense of what we want to follow and believe in. Usually in civilized countries, a strong amount of the whole voice is controlled by the government, which tend to be a powerful group of politicians, whatever position. Even democracy, said to be run by the people, is still in the grasp of people higher up. People do indirectly have a say, but the final decision and opinion is never their’s. A world without journalism would almost be a world without opinion.
