War oftentimes is one of the most controversial topics you can discuss in todays' day and age. As I took a deeper dive into The American Conservative as well as Antiwar it made me see just how censored we truly are as a society. For example on the Anti War website most of these stories that are talked about have not ever been mentioned in the mainstream news
This should not be something that is taboo, we should want to know what dealings our country takes part in. In the United States it is our obligation to keep our government accountable for what they partake in. War ruins peoples lives and truly changes them forever. As we discussed in class, the United States has entered into wars and sent countries into major depressions they may never financially recover from.
WHY ARE WE LEFT IN THE DARK
After looking through these websites it does make you question why we are filtered from certain information. Information that we have every right to know. We as Americans or Political pundits/commentators complain that the average American does not truly know what is going on in society. However, we are also not pushing for us to know the entire truth. Politics and the inner workings of the world are so much deeper than the Republican or Democratic party. We get so caught up in our own news and problems that we become ignorant to issues that are impacting other countries or plaguing the world as a whole. It's time we start asking the right questions.
