The Internet And Politics (Assignment 5)

My topic is on abortion of unborn babies. Many people are against it because killing an unborn child is wrong and the baby has every right to live like everyone else. Some other people have nothing against it because they just don't care, or because the fetuses can be donated to scientist for stem cell research which can lead to medical breakthroughs. Many people across the country protest against abortions, have petitions, etc, to persuade the government to make abortions illegal in the country. Other people could protest that the unborn fetuses could save lives and could be the way to make cures for incurable diseases. They could also have petitions signed and whatnot. I think it is against the law in some parts of the country and other parts you can get an abortion. In the end, the government has the power to make it illegal or legal.

Journalist going after these stories could have it's ups and downs. They report what the issue is between the citizens and government, how it's being handled, and what the outcome is. I think in some articles, the reporters also include their opinions and support one side to the conflict. If they support the government or make the wrong comment, they could receive death threats or be found and get beat up, could result in more conflicts or the reporter leaver his/her position. Supporting the people against abortions could bring positive comments and more stronger community to fight the issue, they could be rewarded or receive a commendation for their support or article, etc.

The issue continues......

  1. I like the ending. It makes us wonder. I am glad you were able to research an issue that most people would have been afraid to comment on. Great Job!
