As the social media and news are less real and spreading propaganda between people. In the United States, people have the right (as their First Amendment) to talk and write their expressions the way they want. People in the United States should not believe everything they see on the news or on social media.
North Korea has made a significant progress in their nuclear program. According to Jim Michaels, USA TODAY, “North Korea has tested one of their missiles in November/ 2017 and it reached an altitude of about 2,800 miles and covered a distance of about 600 miles”. This show, North Korea has developed a lot of effective missiles and they can reach the U.S and destroys the whole country. Also, according to USA Today’s experts, “North Korea’s missiles are able to strike the whole mainland of the United States”. This quote clearly shows that North Korea can destroy America anytime they want.

North Korea can’t use its nuclear weapons against the U.S.
According to the Asia Pacific, “it is so hard for North Korea to bomb the United States. In other words, they are saying that North Korea can’t hit the U.S with their nuclear bombs. Also, Asia pacific’s experts have said that North Korea’s missiles can’t reach the U.S”. This quote shows, North Korea aren’t able to bomb the U.S. However, they don’t have developed missiles and their missiles can’t go for a long distance to reach the U.S. Asia Pacific also mentioned that “North Korea’s missiles might get lost in the space. This means, if North Korea launch their missiles and go out of the Earth’s Atmosphere, the missiles might not fall back again to the
Earth. Even though, some people think that North Korea is going to bomb the U.S and some don’t. I think that North Korea wants to improve their relationship with the U.S. According to The Washington Post, “Kim Jong-un wants to have a meeting with the American president Donald Trump”. This quote shows that Kim Jong-un wants to meet and talk with Trump, which he wants to meet him face to face and improve their relationship. According to CNBC, “President Donald Trump still intends to meet with North Korea's leader by the end of May”. This shows that Trump wants to meet Kim Jong-un too and prove to the world that they are friends, not enemies. The Washington Post also mentioned, “Kim Jong-un promised to give up his nuclear missiles against the U.S if the meeting occurs”. This clearly shows that Kim Jong-un wants to be a friend of Trump and the U.S as well. Social media has different impacts on different aspects of every human’s life. The fake news writers know that people will believe what they post, so they just keep posting and spreading propaganda. So, this is why people should not ever believe what they see on the internet or the news because it might be fake. However, people now should not immediately believe everything they see on the news or social media. They have to spend some time checking different sources and different websites that they trust. Also, make sure what they saw is not fake and then believe it.
...nched from North Korea and fell after flying for just over a minute," Japanese Defence Minister Naoki Tanaka said.”(-North). Also America’s defense secretary Chuck Hagel defends this case saying “neither Iran nor North Korea is capable of attacking the United States with a missile armed with a nuclear warhead.”(-Hagel).
National Missile Defense (NMD) is an extremely complex land-based ballistic missile system with the sole purpose of defending the United States against a ballistic missile attack from a foreign country. The NMD architecture consists of five main components.
As people look back at history they will see that little posts on Facebook and Twitter can be all lies. It’s not hard to make a post, all you have to do is create something that will draw people's attention. Even if you have to smudge the truth a little. When people find something on the internet they automatically think that it’s true, but in reality news stations sometimes have to “spice” up stories to make people watch their station. This is how the truth is sometimes expendable because the little change of words in a quote could change how people view the story. This is why people need to check who they are watching and shouldn’t take every word said is true unless heard by multiple reliable sources. As we as human beings move on, people need to remember that everything on the internet, new, and social media is true. If you want to know if the piece of information is true look it up, if it is there should be a couple reliable sources that have almost identical information. If you can’t find the same information then it is obviously fake. To help create a better democracy always remember to double check your sources and always check the world around you, because you never know what is true or
And the problem the social media sites are helping the NSA when we have put all of our trust and that easily it could be revoked. According to Rob D 'Ovido “Having traded our freedoms for a phantom promise of security, government eyes” (D 'Ovido). For example, Cameron Dambrosio, a teenager from Massachusetts posted a video online a rap he made about the Boston marathon bombing, the rap had references to the white house and the bombing itself, which resulted in his getting arrested in May 2013, and charging him with communicating terrorist threats, which could land him a twenty year sentence. One cannot argue that he used foul language, and said words that were ill-mannered, but that does not give the right to officials to arrest people on a basis of rap. What happen with freedom of speech? People out in the middle east are uprooting entire regimes, because they are not giving them the basic human right, like freedom of speech or privacy. For an example, look at Egypt, they have over thrown an regime that ruled for 40 years. I am not comparing those awful regimes to our government, all we need is to calculate our choices more, and the government should have more faith in the citizens. We live in an era where we are being watched by surveillance cameras 24/7, and also having our calls being tapped. Even with all the peeping toms, censorship, and the spying, freedom of speech
We have trigger warning and censorship on University campuses. We have people being critiqued for every perceived slight by the hordes of people who hide behind a username on social media. We live in age of outrage, where the idea of freedom seems to be continuously superseded with a need to protect the feelings of others rather than the right to an opinion; we live in age of fear, where the threat of terrorism seems to be omnipresent, always lurking in the shadows – but we live in the West, and regardless of the minor blemishes that stain us at the moment, and vitriol that fills the news we read, the idea of freedom is alive and well in the majority of the populace. The average man still has a belief in the democratic system. The average man still believes in the value of individual rights.
In reality, North Korea to this day does not pose a significant military threat, even with limited nuclear capabilities. A constructivist perspective is more able to explain US policy in this instance, because it does not focus on sheer militaristic power. It takes into consideration the state's identity, which drives their interests. The identities of the US and North Korea and the interactions between them drove both nations to the point of acquiring and deterring nuclear use. This conflict began developing in 1994 when North Korea announced its intentions to withdraw from the NPT.
There is still military interaction between North Korea and South Korea. North Korea–South Korea conflicts began with political, diplomatic reasons from the division of Korea in 1945 following World War II. Even though the Korean War finished, there still remains the tension between North and South Korea. For example, according to CNN, in 1968, North Korea unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate South Korea's president. In 1983, a bombing in Myanmar that was linked to North Korea killed 17 South Korean officials and in 1987, North Korea was accused of bombing a South Korean airplane. Fighting has also repeatedly occurred on both land and sea borders because each nation is continually trying to unify the peninsula with its own system of government.
Relations between the United States and North Korea have been unstable since the second world war and with each passing decade the relations have become more tense. The U.S has never have formal international relations with North Korea , however the conflict has caused much controversy in U.S foreign policy. North Korea has been the receiver of millions of dollars in U.S aid and the target of many U.S sanctions. This is due to the fact that North Korea is one of the most oppressive regimes on the planet, that uses unjust techniques such as murder, torture, and starvation to get their citizens to be obedient. They restrict contact from their citizens to the outside world, through censorship of technology and rarely allowing visitors to the country. The root of the US-North Korea conflict however ,has been on the basis of nuclear weapons and North Korea threatening to use those weapons against the U.S and neighboring South Korea. The U.S and other nations have been working for the last few decades to stop the regime from purchasing and utilizing destructive nuclear weapons.
Such negative impact like the information that circulating on the social media is also not guaranteed the truth. The sites that use are very diverse also often disseminate information that deviates from the real situation. The distribution of pornographics content is also often widely accesble and open withim any existing in social media. Besides that, much information spread in social media which still not one hundred percent fully guaranteed. So each users is required to understand well which information is correct and which are not
Social media is a revolutionary way to connect with friends and family through a single app, much like Facebook. Also allowing the public to be more informed on current events, whether that is an issue in today’s society, all the way to a heartwarming story or a funny video. This sounds amazing and the fact that this type of news outlet is practically new. An issue arises that involves “fake news” and with that comes many opinions on what to do about it. I believe that people browsing these platforms should have a little bit of skepticism behind each story and if the topic truly intrigues someone then they should look into the topic on a reliable resource before passing on the authors misinformation.
Since its origin in 1948, North Korea has been isolated and heavily armed, with hostile relations with South Korea and Western countries. It has developed a capability to produce short- and medium-range missiles, chemical weapons, and possibly biological and nuclear weapons. In December 2002, Pyongyang lifted the freeze on its plutonium-based nuclear weapons program and expelled IAEA inspectors who had been monitoring the freeze under the Agreed Framework of October 1994. As the Bush administration was arguing its case at the United Nations for disarming Iraq, the world has been hit with alarming news of a more menacing threat: North Korea has an advanced nuclear weapons program that, U.S. officials believe, has already produced one or two nuclear bombs. As the most recent standoff with North Korea over nuclear missile-testing approaches the decompression point, the United States needs to own up to a central truth: The region of Northeast Asia will never be fully secure until the communist dictatorship of North Korea passes from the scene. After threatening to test a new, long-range missile, Pyongyang says it is willing to negotiate with "the hostile nations" opposing it. But whether the North will actually forgo its test launch is anyone's guess. North Korea first became embroiled with nuclear politics during the Korean War. Although nuclear weapons were never used in Korea, American political leaders and military commanders threatened to use nuclear weapons to end the Korean War on terms favorable to the United States. In 1958, the United States deployed nuclear weapons to South Korea for the first time, and the weapons remained there until President George Bush ordered their withdrawal in 1991. North Korean government stateme...
Naturally, journalism would spill over to the Internet and as social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook grew in popularity, so did regular citizens involvement with sharing news. The argument can be made that the explosion of social media journalism was due to frustration from the lack of coverage of news that mattered to society. For example, the lack of subjective coverage of Michael Brown 's death helped with the creation of #BlackLivesMatter and spread of news related to African-American’s and other minorities across the country. After all, journalism is supposed to be a public forum. Millions of people on Twitter share their thoughts and opinions on several topics, furthering the conversation and to some degree challenging society. Things such as “Moments” on Twitter provide us with direct links and summaries to the world’s most important stories and encourage a conversation. According to journalism.org, 63% of users on Twitter and Facebook get their news from these websites. Even more eye opening is that 59% of users on Twitter keep up to date with news stories via Twitter while they are in the process of happening.[3] The rise of social media related journalism has caused some issues however. “Inevitably, as citizen involvement grows, more of our media culture is concerned with talking about news, instead of focusing on original reporting and the vetting of it.”[4] Because the general public has the ability to post as they wish and pass it off as news, it has affected the accuracy of many reports. Many stories lack reputable sources but are shared between millions as an accurate and true story. There are several websites designed to spread inaccurate information. The website www.fakenewswatch.com exists to inform people of these sites in order to avoid mishaps. Recently a Connecticut mom went viral for being involved in an online hoax
“Social media has also created an exciting outlet for the people to see news and stay updated on current events in the world” ("Are Social Networking Sites”). The majority of the media broadcast the troubles and trials the United States have and to some extent people could get ideas from the bad broadcast and could do the same things. Maybe if the media could limit the broadcast of bombing, gun shootings, killing police officers, and much more than all of it would gradually disappear.
On social media, each individual has the power to be influential and important. There is a freedom of expression on social media that we are allowed to express. A user on Facebook can post anything they want or anything they want for free.... ... middle of paper ... ...
According to Stouten, John the author of the article the likelihood of a nuclear attack is greater than ever says that countries in the Middle East and Korea are building nuclear arms every day” (15). The Middle East won’t stop making weapons of mass destruction until someone or the US comes in there and destroys or seizes all of their weapons. We should be concerned about Weapons of mass destruction and never let it just float by us. Some Politicians don’t understand the threats of other countries and there weapons of mass destruction that could wipe out a great and big city like San Francisco or New York, New York and it could kill millions of people and a lot more than that. All we have to do is look at places that have experienced this like Hiroshima, Japan or Chernobyl. We don’t want this to happen to us because the toll of the damage would be unbearable to see or hear about. Are country hasn’t experienced something like that before except 9/11.
