Usually indisputable scientific facts may be perceived to be the exempt showcase of such cases, but they’re lots of ways in which high-end enterprises can buy reliant crediencials to deceive and manipulate sensitive subjects from a political perspective that ain’t necessarily related to it, after all, is usually in these types of affairs that media’s job is not to enforce interest-backed beliefs, but to create skepticism and division within a certain rightfully informed group of people that fuels arrogance and will to “stand out”. The best way to keep yourself out from misinformation, is to be open to new perspectives and reliant on multiple sources, is where we find discrepancies, that we know there may be interests fueling it.

In addition, social media also influences the perception of people. Nowadays, people get to know what is going on around the world due to social media. People make videos and/or photos viral, and many people as a result will see what’s happening. 

As a result, communication and media are one of the most important factors that influences the perception of people around the world. 

3. What are the benefits and difficulties of examining political issues against the backdrop of a certain theoretical foundation or ideology? 

 

I think that using the theories of international relations, the fundamental, as well as the critical theories, allows any person to understand and create hypotheses about the way certain countries might be understanding issues before they act. So they can pose a benefit to be able to view an issue from different perspectives, and maybe understand some reasoning to certain actions. However, if you just focus on one of these theories, for example, you could fall into a biased research, which can be a clear difficulty when trying to analyze a political issue completely. 

 

The difficulty then, when trying to comprehend a political issue, could fall on ones capability to decide which theories of international relations to use depending on a region, a period of time, an ideology, a culture of a country. For example, if we analyze western intervention in the Middle East, and decide to use the theory of liberalism, we could say the interest of the west relies on helping build a better world and help some countries achieve freedom. On the other hand, if we use realism, we could also say that the real motivation for all the aid is a high interest over the natural resources, which would be easier to achieve if they have close relations with whatever government is in charge. This way, we can understand an issue in a more complete way. 

What is the role of communication and media in shaping people’s perception of issues in global politics? 

The perspective of each individual is often defined by the ways of knowing,  since this is how they approach the world. Furthermore, everyone has a different point of view in regards of everything that is shaped by their upbringing (the values that they believe in). 

This is often displayed in controversial areas such as a global politics, that is composed of many different theoretical foundations and political views such as neoliberalism, which can be polemic when discussing its effects. 

 

This can lead people to close their minds to many solutions and perspectives which eventually results in fanatism (KKK) and is thus harmful for the society. In the world of politics individuals rely on a single solution and point of view and therefore see things as black or white, this is influenced by the ways and áreas of knowing that they feel most comfortable in, but as a result they reject the remaining theories due to a lack of understandment or political intolerance. 

It is easy for people to believe that they think is right to them; is right for everyone, however the international relations and global affairs aren’t as simple as that, and can’t fit a single template in an ever-changing world. 

 

In conclusion, it is in the nature of mankind to rely on a “single truth” and to believe that it is right for eveyone, this is merely defined by the way in which they approach knowledge and want to express it. Be that as it may, in áreas such as global politics this mindset can be harmful for the society since one single belief can’t fit such a diverse world.
