Election Reflection Edited

Media has always played a role in our elections, Allot of people listen to the radio, go on facebook or watch TV! If you put ads on the media then you could reach hundreds of thousands of people and ask them to vote for your party, i believe that media brings in more votes than any other way of advertising has ever done or will do.

Media Shouldn't be used to put down other parties too much, if media is used to say, Vote for NDP, Liberals fail to help those in need! That is not too much of a put down so it isn't as bad as if you were to say:
Liberals are horrible! They are the reason BC is falling today! Vote for NDP! That is much worse than the first one and should not be allowed! As long as Parties put each other down too much in a really hurtful way, a little bit of Drama is never a bad thing!

Media is a great way to advertise your party as long as you do it in a way that doesn't turn people on other parties in a bad way and doesn't upset others, over advertising is never a good thing either, this can annoy people and make them not want to vote for you.

Using social media is also a great way that parties can get help by asking people on sites like twitter, or facebook to ask your followers what they think about the election and ask them what they would like to see in the future and what problems that parties would like to see resolved!

If social media is used in a safe and responsible way for the election then it is a great idea, not only does it get the election "out there" it also gives the parties a chance to communicate with the people willing to vote for the party and also allowing them to find "dirt" on the other parties, an example of this would be when christy clark ran a red light, if there never was media than the other parties could not have used that against her to try and help their own party.

Social media should never be looked upon as a bad thing for elections, it should be looked at as a great thing helping the community and increasing the communication between everybody!

  1. Richard,
    Your post is very true and I agree with you. You have some spelling errors and your paragraphs aren't long enough. You also shouldn't say I believe and make your sentences more formal. It's good that you used examples such as Twitter, Facebook and Parties. Overall your post is good but to make it fantastic I would suggest you improve the things i recommended!

  2. Hello Richard, I agree with you on how media is a good way to advertise parties, but only if they don't put down other parties. One thing you could do is to extend your paragraphs by including examples from the real election (or previous ones), or explain more in detail why putting down other parties is bad. Social media is indeed a good way for parties to get votes, but again they shouldn't advertise in a hurtful way to other parties. Overall you have made some great points about media in our elections.

  3. Hello Richard, I think that what your saying is very true and I agree that the media shouldn't put down selected parties that much however you should try to extend your paragraphs and make them longer. I agree with Nick that the examples you used were good and it made it easy for me to connect with what you're trying to say, but next time look out a bit more for spelling mistakes. Overall good job just try to keep the paragraphs longer. :)
