[VVP/Teen] Politics and ads
It was very amusing to see how presidential candidates go head to head in campaign ads. They are so clever knowing what to show and not to show in their campaign. In Global Kids we viewed different campaign ads from Nixon's presidential campiagn til George W. Bush against Al Gore. The republican party created ads in favor of Bush, and they used editing techniques to make him look desperate to win the election. They made the democrats seem like animals and that they gave the impression that they were not ready to take over the presidential postion. It's very childish and immature that campaigns need to protray their lack of insecurity. How they need to buy the voters by lies, video editing, and promises that till this day aren't being kept. Why? Can't we the people be convinced in another more civilized way then cartoons and ignorant comments being made frm one candidate to another? I say this, that this way of campaigning politics won't change until we speak up. Society can laugh and make their decisions by these ads but then where does this country really stand? Everyone can be entitled to their opinion but who knows who will listen.
