PROMPT #2

Do you think that people should be able to see news stories about violence all over the world, no matter how bloody the violence may be? Do you think, on the other hand, that it is sufficient for the news anchor to read a news report without your having to actually see the blood and pain of others? How do you feel about how the War in Iraq has been portrayed/shown by the media? Write a paragraph or more explaining your opinion on this matter. Be sure to support your opinion.




    No i do not think that people should be able to see the news storys about the violence on tv. It can effect a childs life by having all the bad bloody gore action on their lives. Its sad enough knowing what is going on in the war and having to see it can make it even worse expecially the families that have a relative in the war. Yes i think it is sufficient to here on what is going on in the war because people are still curious and want to know what is going on with the wars. The footage that is being shown about the war in Iraq by the media doesnt really bother me as much as it did in the begining of the war. At first it was sad to see what happen to all the soldiers and it somewhat effected me even more because my nationality is Iraq and i also have family their that has to deal with the war everyday also my religion is catholic and we have no part of the war but still suffer from the everyday war, but the war now isn't that bad anymore.
