Today, you finished watching the film Swing Kids. There was a lengthy discussion on the conditions of a society that are present and can lead to a dictatorship. For the last 10 minutes of class, you worked on News Bureau, which you will present tomorrow.
We also talked about how a government will often send out misinformation to the media in order to meet some agenda, whether known or not. Even though the facts are out there, once an idea becomes part of the public domain, it is difficult to sway the masses in another direction. For example, a number of students said that Iraq attacked the U.S. on September 11. The fact though, is that it was members of the Saudi Shiite faction.
