Problems we face.
One thing I have come to realize lately, is how politically seperated we are as a nation. When saying politically separated, I am saying there there is almost two different sides, republican or democrat, and there isn't enough in the middle to stand out. This is almost like a battle that is going on. When I was in high school, all kids ever talked about was what side they are and why their side is right and the other is wrong, but I never heard anyone agree with both sides. Another example is the news. Sometimes I wonder if we are actually getting the full news anymore, because every news channel is politically based and it is beyond obvious. I think the news is becoming less and less credible, because I don't know if they are saying certain things to make one person look good and another look bad, or if they are saying it how it actually is. Everyone has their own way of seeing things and now it is showing when watching the news. I believe that at one point we need to almost step back and look at things as a whole and start making changes that are better for the country even if it is against the political party that one stands. There needs to be someone out there that does what is good for the country and not what is good for the party. But from there we also have to look and wonder if anyone is actually going to do that. Would anyone vote for that person if he or she ran? Would people not vote for him/ her because he/ she isn't in a political party? These people need to stand out and make it clear to everyone that we need to put aside the differences and work together as a team to help fix the nation, the more we disagree the further we are drawn apart.

I definitely agree. This post "Problems we face" is very accurate. Now in days news do take a side whether if it's for democrats or republicans. And I'm sure that could go under the agenda setting theory that describes the ability of the news media to influence the way the public think. When the media focuses on just a few issues and subjects, the public tends to perceive those issues as more important. Yes, in order to become a united nation we need to stop focusing on just the minority of the people, and start thinking about the goodness of the majority. I am sure there is more than just five people out there who are in the same situation, and as long as these people who stand in the middle of both sides are willing to speak, and try to bring everyone together to make things better little by little, we will eventually influence one another, become a team, and we will be joined together politically. But if no one is willing to speak everything will remain the same as it is. It is always better to give it a shot even if the outcome turns out to be different from what was expected, rather than just leaving it as it is, and wondering what if? If we all agree to come together as it's supposed to be instead of constantly debating each other, we will become a stronger nation.
