Critical Analysis Of Ideology And Integrity By Paul Krugman

The objective of the report is to present an ideological assumption presented in the opinion or editorial page of a leading newspaper and to perform critical analysis of the views and assumptions given by the author on the mentioned ideological article.

The author had an expressed a great piece of information under the ideology of the political campaigns for the elections. It had made clear by the author by writing on the ideology and integrity that people could easily become aware of the political parties policies for the financial, health and defence affairs of the country. The campaign became an eye opener for the public to determine the stance of political parties over financial and other areas of the country at the national level. On the other hand, the media of the country had focused on the characters and personalities. Whereas they should emphasise the policies of the political party for running the country national government offices in the most influential country of the world named as U. S. A.

The ideological assumptions were multiple in numbers that were guided by the author in the opinion expressed by him in the article. There had been many occasions when media was involved in projecting the character, personalities and other areas of interests of the politicians involved in the elections. The media did not put attention to the fiscal or health care policies of the candidates of the elections. The author had described the implications of media yellow journalism and proxy wars played over the medium of media led to a few pathetic decisions that led to the devastating situation in many issues of national interest. For instance, the media projected so much about the hardcore statements made by the senators over Iraq and ultimately the results were opposite. It was so adverse that the entire national government operation came under pressure because of high defence expenditure, less revenue for supporting health care, suspensions of developmental programs and less creation of jobs. This situation could be avoided if the media had focused on the critical analysis of the situation in Iraq.

From reading the opinion presented in the editorial page of the newspaper, it can be said that the assumptions were of implicit nature as the targeted audience were not aware of the main content of the ideology that was expressed by the author in the opinion.

Yes, I had found the author’s view completely persuasive it is because of the high level of awareness created for the public regards to media responsibilities for promoting the election campaigns. The detailed exploration of the topic presented in the opinion has made it crystal clear that the role and responsibility of the media towards the political promotions during the election campaigns is significant and massive. Therefore it must be done in the right direction to assist the people in making constructive, positive and fruitful decisions for their country. It is only possible when the mainstream media channels give a high level of critical analysis on the challenges faced by the country in the sectors of healthcare, economic constraints, extremism, terrorism, national security, unemployment and other. The media should refrain itself from indulging too much in the personal affairs, behaviours, scandals or character of the candidates running in the elections.
