Due Tuesday 4/24 - The press in times of crisis

Assume that our next debate will have the resolution, "The press should be censored in times of crisis."

1) Indicate wheter your reading selection is pro or con for the above resolution and write three things that support the pro or con position on this issue.

I read the second part of the reading and it was con against the quote above. and i would definatly have to agree because the press shouldnt be censored becaus ie think the public needs to stay informed. But i understand why the military and goverenment want the press to be censored, its because they have everything to hide.They dont want the public to see some of the things they doa nd turn against them. SO thats why they want the media to be censored. Yes the truth can either help people a lot or hurt them, but at least its the truth and they know there not being lied to. And i think that if you tell the truth it will hurt but, it will hurt a lot less then if you lied and then someone found out.because then a trust issue comes into the picture.


AND


2) Write a paragraph where you state your opinion on the issue. It should include some evidence from the reading, but it does not have to follow each viewpoint to the letter. You can also include ideas and evidence from other sources or individuals.

I agree with the article i read. The media should not be censored during a time of crisis.The people need to be informed, i dont know how many times i can say that to get my opinion across. It is much worse to lie to someone then tell them the truth. It frustrates me when people lie and when they get caught they try to cover it up or blame it on other epople. which happens a lot.
