It is honestly so crazy to think about how we really don’t know/ don’t hear about so much in mainstream news outlets. We hear so much about WAR WAR WAR but we never hear about antiwar voices when there are websites like ANTIWAR.COM and American Conservative that have writers with very strong antiwar voices. The fact that we don’t hear from these voices goes with the mainstream news outlets not caring about others' opinions if they do not align with the government, and who does war benefit… the government.
In today’s society and with its advances you would think that we wouldn’t be in the position of war as much as we are and it wouldn't be as aggressive as it is. In spite of that war is still a prominent event in today’s society and getting more aggressive day by day. If you look back at the creation of the atomic bomb, about 140,000 people in Hiroshima and around 74,000 people in Nagasaki died to this one invention. Nevertheless, there were advertisements of sorts to show people just how important it was that we had it, and no matter how many people it killed it would lead to peace in the end, but we rarely heard from the people who thought it was wrong and were completely against it in mainstream news outlets.
At the end of the day in mainstream media, the account of pro-war will more than likely be more well-known rather than antiwar voices. We as people of the world must learn to speak up and make some noise so that we can get our voices out there regardless of our views.
