Propaganda - It is okay for the government to mislead in order to promote security

Depending on the type of security, it is either okay or not okay for government to mislead in order to promote security. For example, if the security refers solely to the economic security, I believe that Governments have the right and should mislead the public in order to promote security. This is especially true in International Economics, in which a change of confidence in a currency can have drastic effects on its value and therefore the whole economy of the country. Due to this, I believe that Governments should mislead in order to promote economic security. However, when it is a case of a national security threat due to the alleged weapons of mass destruction which Iraq possess according to the United States, then I believe that the Government should not mislead in order to promote security. 

The Iraq war in 2003 is an example of the Government trying to withhold information and mislead the public in order to promote security. This is seen especially by an Interview between a American analyst and a Al Jazeera reporter, which led to a one sided perspective being told by the American analyst of the Iraq war. Unlike the American Government which tries to mislead the public in order to promote security, Al Jazeera aims to bring a non bias view to the public, regularly having Analysts with different viewpoints of the Iraq war on their News Program. Instances of the different viewpoints and biases between Al Jazeera and the American Government can also be seen when Al Jazeera broadcasted a video of dead american soldiers on their News Program, which had a great effect on the American people as they were not handed such images by the American Government as they tried to censor such images in order to promote security. In order to prevent such videos being broadcasted by Al Jazeera in the future, the American Government sent a notice letter to them, asking them to not broadcast such images again. Even after the war had finished and the government of Saddam Hussein had been defeated, many people in America retained their biased and one sided view of the Iraqis and Arabs, often associating these people with the Iraq war. 

Even though I believe that in some cases the Government should mislead in order to promote security, such as for economic security, I do not believe that the Government should mislead in order to promote security like it was done by the American Government in the Iraq war due to the one sided biased perspective which they fed the American people, leaving many of the public with radical viewpoints on political and social issues involving Arabs in the future.

Rewritten Pro-Trump Article based on the Pro-Hillary Article by The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-case-for-hillary-clinton_us_58212bc3e4b0e80b02cc48e6

There’s A Case Against Hillary Clinton. But There’s Also A Case For Donald Trump.

Trump has done various good things for the country so far, and plans to do even greater things once he is elected as president. Throughout his life he has done great things, starting off as a small business man, he soon made a name for himself, developing the multi billion worth company The Trump Organisation. Having acquired a net worth of 3.7 billion US dollars and having reached the top of the real estate business, he plans to spread his success to the whole of America by running for president.

His policies are designed to benefit America. To make America great again. This is contrasted by Hillary Clinton, who lacks honesty and the stamina necessary to be president of the greatest country in the world. Trump’s policies benefit the majority, and not just the top one percent, as in the case of Hillary Clinton. Business taxes are to be cut to 15 percent. Childcare costs will be significantly decreased. The education system will be improved. These are just a few of Trump’s policies in order to restore America to its former glory. The interests of Americans are of highest priority when looking at Trump’s policies.

A high emphasis is also placed on the general safety improvements throughout America, and at its borders, starting with a new immigration system as well as by building a wall around the America-Mexico border which ensures that no more criminals and drugs get through to American soil. Additionally, gang members and drug dealers will be taken off of the street in order to create a safer community. Through Trump’s full support of the second amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, it will also help and empower legally owned gun holders to defend themselves. 

Through the multiple beneficial policies of Trump which keeps the American people benefiting the most at the roots of all his policies, he will for sure make a great president in the future, unlike his running mate Hillary Clinton who has severe flaws and could be characterised as a complicated figure incapable of running a country.
