My Message

Today, I have a message to share with those reading this. Whether you think it may be significant or not, however, is completely up to you, but it's also all in the way you interpret the meaning of the message and the point I'm trying to get across.

The world isn't actually how it may appear. Based on the knowledge we have been given [as well as gained], we were all taught at an early age that we live in a honest, forgiving, and well versed government. As true [or unrealistic] as this may seem to some, we can not be completely sure of how honest our government is from any standpoint. While some would do anything for our system, others despise it and would do anything to destroy it. We should not be so quick to put so much hope, money, and time into a system we all truly know nothing about. Doing so would be like following a blind man's path that leads to nowhere.

Some may agree with me when I say this, but we do, in fact, live in a truly corrupt system. The government only tells the media things that they think we may want to hear, and we fall for this trick everytime. They lie to us constantly and we do nothing about it for whatever the reason may be. This is when and where people decide what is fact, and what is fiction. Then we form our own ideas, many of which are not accepted because we have to conform to the rules given to us by society.

If things keep going the way they are, I predict a major downfall and a small uplifting due to the lack of individuality and freedom of expression. This could and will effect us in ways we couldn't even fathom, yet alone conceptualize. With time though, all we can do is hope for a better tomorrow.

Privacy & the 21st Century

In order for their to be a sense of privacy left in this world, people need to think more carefully about the choices they make and how these choices can effect them in the future as well as present day. It's the responsibility of each individual that "exists" in the 21st century to protect these rights for themselves, their families, future generations, and so much more. As of present day, our expectations for privacy and rights / ideas pertaining to privacy have increased, while our actual sense of privacy has lessened because of the choices we make / have made due to small, somewhat insignificant choices we made subconsciously.

People constantly use social media as an outlet to take out any frustrations, anxiety, etc. that they may have. Not only do they get the negative feelings they have out, but they are also exposing themselves to a world wide audience whether they meant to or not, and whether they wanted this audience or not. Any form of information / media that the person puts out on the internet can be forever imprinted in the minds of several individuals whether they are pictures, quotes, videos, or simply just a spur-of-the-moment idea, outburst, emotion, etc. These are the kind of choices that effect our sense of privacy.

Before one can make demands and list their expectations, they must define what privacy means to them and follow the guidelines they have virtually then created for themselves. If one is unable to do this, they cannot expect to be given that sense of privacy, and can expect to eventually become corrupt due to the lack of not being able to set their own standards. So as people, we must help ourselves and each other to gain and preserve this sense of privacy we ever so desire and hope to gain.

Privacy & Government

There are many issues occurring in today's society dealing with one's right to privacy and the government at large, many of which I quite frankly don't think should be currently existing but are. For example, people are constantly exposing themselves to strangers without realizing how they are allowing them to [very easily] violate their privacy on a daily basis. It doesn't help that people are able to talk about their problems openly on the internet for others to read and comment on. What also isn't helping the situation is that the government / Big Brother allows this type of behavior and/or things from people and they expect nothing will happen to them.

In all actuality, the government tracks our every move and all that we do. I believe that they know everything from our daily activities to the way we talk/act around others. They know everything about everyone. I feel as though it is no longer safe anywhere for anybody anymore...not even on the internet just because of privacy issues and the government.


*short summary of my thoughts and views on this topic.

Propaganda

Propaganda in our society is used to scare the life out of people. To deceit and manipulate the masses. Every day. Just constantly. With propaganda, Big Brother is able to control the thoughts and actions of people daily, which then causes these people to just go mad. This is where I come in.

My job is to distort history, the way it's told, and make sure no one ¨realizes the real lies¨. I have to make sure no one finds out the ¨real truth¨. In my eyes, I like to believe that I am privileged because I know what the truth is from the lies that are being put out in the media. These tactics that they use to brainwash people and have them believe that everything they do is right is only a small part of their plan for something much bigger. What they are doing to these people, however, is wrong. I don't believe that anyone should be punished for having different ideas and beliefs from those of Big Brother. I believe as people, that we should be able to speak out and help make decisions that benefit the people rather than something people know nothing about. Even though I may work for them doesn't mean that I agree with their ideals. It's like I want to voice my opinions and ideas, but forced to keep them secret - hidden so deep inside of me that no one will ever know that these thoughts were thoughts, or that they even existed. I can't even think about them otherwise I will be charged with a crime that I could have so easily prevented, and then I would have a negative reputation which is one I cannot afford.

I have already spoken too much so on that note, this is all I have to say on the subject.
