I think that as a citizen its is my duty and right to be informed about what is happening in the world weather it is about good news or bad news because everyone has a right to know about what is happening in the world in which we live in. I have been informored about climate change and global warmining from newspaper such as the guardian because i think it is one of the newspaper which has the right approach on the world and how it should be improved, televison such as the news because it covers seriouse topics and word of mouth, but only on brief information and from other people's perspective, because people have different views and opinions on seriouse matters.I like to watch the news on gmtv because give the information on whats is going on in the world and it is also covers lighthearted news aswell which is less seriouse.
I think the guardian and some other ideas on the news infulence me because they talk about seriouse issues which need to be addressed and and have the right approach on how to solve issues on the world.
I think that it should not just be the goverment or politions to make decisions but everone should have a say and be able to help in complicated decisions because it will effect everyone on what decisions are made.

You raise some interesting points, but need to extend your answer a little. Reflect a little more on how you become informed of issues. Do you tend to read a particular newspaper or watch the news on one particular television channel? Why do you favour these? How might this influence what you know about an important issue?
ReplyDeleteWhile it is important for citizens to be informed timely, it may be true that the methods or channels used are not as effective as they should be. For instance, how many people (on a daily basis) have interest or access to read the newspaper? How many people have the time and desire to watch tv channels that are educative? So the whole issue of how information should be disseminated becomes very complex.
