“Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either”- Aesop
This quote should be memorized by every person, especially those studying politics because it is important to always look at the big picture. Too often, people hear stories on the news or read about them in newspapers and will automatically assume that whatever the broadcaster or journalist states is exactly what is happening. This is not only unfair to the people involved in the story, but also to the people reading or watching the news. It closes people off from learning what is really happening and being able to be open minded about various issues. It is my hope that while writing this blog, I will portray both sides of important issues so that we all can understand our political system more clearly.
