I am so beyond sick of hearing all the stupid election bull...
Nothing you hear is ever true. Its all a pile of S***!
One of many reactions from students and others.
There is truth is the mix, lots of it.
You may have to work at it, but as a citizen that should be your duty. Research. Weighing the issues and the statements, finding the source and seeing if it was said or not, and if it is true or not.
As the X-files said "the truth is out there."
That's why there is such an effort to get it out there in public.
All you have to do is find it, check it and then support it.
That's what every adult citizen is expected to do in a democracy.
Read up on Thomas Jefferson.
So here is the question:
Would you rather have a dictator?
Then you would not have to put up with two sides, only one.
Civics is a key part of Communications studies and a requirement of being an American citizen.
If you have no sense of civics, you are giving up your rights to complain or be a citizen with all its protections.
As to the amount of "S***" this time around, money is the reason. More is being spent, thanks to the Supreme Court undoing 100 years of election law, than any previous election in history. There are no longer checks and balances on accountability, any attempt at the truth, any limit on corporate or undisclosed campaign donations to good sounding shadowy companies.
The impact of this election on our democracy, on the communication process, on communications as a profession and on lives is one that will be in history books, and in academic studies, for at least a century.
It's full of first that have to do with the field of this class, with business, with religion, with philosophy, with ethics, with sociology, psychology, poly-sci and every other discipline that explains or reflects on our lives and our society well into the future.
So follow the money. Who is paying for this election "s***" ?
And ask why?
It's your duty as an American.
