* Makes control of people easier, as they will be more like to support the Party if they think the party has brought positive changes. This Party slogan gives an insight into the technique used by the government of manipulating history, and in some cases using completely made up history, in order to keep control of the people. This is because having control of the past allows the government to have control of the future. This is because the future is a direct consequence of the past, and the outcome will be in direct relation to what has happened in the past. So, when the Party portrays the past a hellish world full of poverty, destruction and slavery - the people will begin to believed the Party has rescued them from this, especially when the party feeds them more lies about all the things they have done to help the people.
In fact, many people believe that new media will one day replace traditional mainstream media outlets. However in this essay I will attempt to prove that New Media will not completely replace old media but rather change it, while transferring the power from governments and corporations, to the people. To do so I will start off by studying the users of new media and its audiences. I will then analyze the way it’s used. And finally explain how it has impacted mainstream traditional media, journalism and society as a
The United Kingdom’s s uncodified constitution relies heavily on established conventions and trust in order to prevent widespread corruption. To some extent this type of constitution historically has served the UK well. However, due to increasing disillusion with politicians and their ethics. Which some claim to be the result of more transparency and a higher level of education. UK citizen are more informed and able to make analytical judgements in their best interest, this in turn, challenges the authority of the state to decide what is in our best interest.
Essay Review: Disappointed by “Flogging” The general concept of Jeff Jacoby’s “Bring Back Flogging” is for the essay to serve as the collective voice of many people on the topic of corporal punishment, especially those who work in law enforcement. He points out how a move toward corporal punishment would bring tremendous change for Americans; those changes ranging form the state of the economy to the colossal and still mounting problem of the 250% increase of incarcerated persons since 1980 (para. 3, line 9). I strongly agree with the idea to bring back corporal punishment. In fact, the only thing in Jacoby’s essay I did not concur with was the way Jacoby offered the argument.
ASH informs people of the danger of smoking. Pressure groups add a degree of political participation. Due to the increase in voting apathy, pressure groups gain popularity so that they can influence policy on their behalf - or when the people don’t get a chance to say; e.g. when there is not a general election. Political participation through pressure groups holds the government to account, preventing an elected dictatorship and an accumulation of power.

The book 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most powerful warnings ever issued against the dangers of a totalitarian society. It illustrates the worst human society imaginable, in an effort to convince readers to avoid any path that might lead toward such societal degradation. In his book, Orwell talked about the invasion of government into our lives, the effect that it would be on our freedom and the repercussions in everyday life. He describes a world beyond our imagination. Now it is being said the Fourth Amendment’s promise of protection from government invasion of privacy is in danger of being replaced by the futuristic surveillance state Orwell described (Liptak, 2011).” By the same token, does 1984 present a startling and haunting vision of the world today?
This long-sightedness, however convenient, seems like it would be extremely dangerous because it would be easier to lose control of the situation at hand. One could argue that realism has maintained the upper hand during the past century for many reasons. Not because it is the more correct of the two approaches, but maybe because it is more popularized. The text discusses the great example of how media influences perspectives. In the past 100 years, when it seems realism has maintained the upper hand, media has become an extremely influential part of society.

Putting the power in the hands of the masses it cause much more harm than good due to the fact that people in general are out to further themselves and it usually at the cost of others. Keeping the powers separate was how they were written is important in the stability of the United States, if we can overthrow something as influential as Separation of Powers it could very well lead down a slippery slope.
