Mainly due to the ability to appeal for the masses require good communicating. And with that language becomes a tool for politicians to utilize and be selective or spin on something with their own agenda in mind. A "will" "now" is better than "could" "later" to the ears. These empty promises can lead to biases and people would vote for that candidate.]]> 2022-03-11 04:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089799237 praews_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089799428 I think it can be used but not necessary because they can control it as propaganda but the advantages they have is high and the power. It hides the truth and people may misunderstand and have a misconception which in some situation is not the best way. ]]> 2022-03-11 04:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089799428 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089799456 It may be necessary for those with greater power to conceal the truth. Some information may have to be covered to prevent controversies that lead to chaos when leaked. Sometimes, it may suggest that those concealing the truth are up to no good. Because the information hidden for a person with more power (e.g., a politician, millionaire, etc.) may be used to maintain their reputation even though they may have done something unacceptable to society as if they are running from their consequences and responsibilities. ]]> 2022-03-11 04:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089799456 proma_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089800174 It is sometimes necessary for the people with power to tell the truth to the people because it would lead to a bigger trust and connection between the people and the government. If the powerful have a need to conceal truth from people, it suggests how they aren't too trustworthy of the people and most of the time suggests they are up to something they don't truth the public will react well with.]]> 2022-03-11 04:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089800174 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089800331 2022-03-11 04:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089800331 troyl_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089801063 Firstly, it really depends on how "truth" is defined. If "truth" is defined as this deep secret horrible truth of this man with power. It would be necessary for those with power to conceal the truth, because it is human nature that a reputation takes billions of years to build but five seconds to destroy and another trillion years to repair. Once you have power, it is almost or completely inevitable for them to conceal their truth and protect their reputation. (I'm sorry this is how human works) And yes, when they are concealing the "truth", it is considered not moral and "not good". This is because humans have always preferred oneself over a group of people or perhaps everything, we've only started being kind to each other in the past few thousands years and yet finding a nice guy is quite rare. So this all comes to the dark human nature that we have and all of us have the tendency to corrupt power when we have them. ]]> 2022-03-11 04:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2089801063 pimc_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2090163651 Q2. It depends on what information the person or people in power are controlling; There are some lists of information that are essential to share with the community while others can be concealed for the sake of the community. As the person in power, you have the responsibility of informing the people of your community when there is something important that is needed to be shared.]]> 2022-03-11 09:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2090163651 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092341477 2) Although a lot of the time concealing the truth from the people is a sign of the government doing fishy things, it is most of the time necessary to conceal the truth in my opinion. I feel like this is especially relevant with the internet. Sometimes people do not know what to do with the information they are given, and many times spread information that is false. With social media, small mistakes can be faced with heavy backlash, and a simple decision can spark huge controversies. Even though I agree that many times politicians conceal the truth of corruption and stuff, politicians do need to conceal the truth to prevent chaos and to prevent unprofessional opinions from interfering with important decisions. ]]> 2022-03-13 13:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092341477 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092525454 Sometimes to conceal the truth is better because it can distort the truth whether it is in a negative or a positive way. However, once it's done the first time and it works to get an intended response, it's hard to draw the line when to stop. Truth can be suppressed sometimes but it cannot be hidden forever. It isn't definitive that people who have power to conceal the truth from people denote that they are up to no good. Anyone can suppress the truth for any reason, even if it's good. One of the biggest drawbacks from concealing the truth is diminishing trust and integrity, which are both very key factors to hold the power to even conceal truth in the first place.]]> 2022-03-13 17:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092525454 mauricem1 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092784308 2022-03-14 00:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092784308 doudouw_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092871447 I feel like it generally depends on the information from the person who is in power for controlling. This is because there might me some list of information the need to be shared to the community. Which sometimes the truth would be conceal. And one of the biggest drawbacks is that the truth could hide the truth making it the trust broken between the 2 sides. ]]> 2022-03-14 01:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092871447 mikir_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092873641 It depends on the persons decision whether they would want to use it or not. Everyone is allowed to used the Orwellian language. But, just beware that it can lead other people to misunderstandings.]]> 2022-03-14 01:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092873641 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092873681 I think the use of Orwellian language isn’t necessary in politics, as it is mostly used when spreading propaganda. It is also useful and advantageous for powerful figures that wish to hide truth from citizens to possibly make citizens see what’s in reality negative, as something positive.]]> 2022-03-14 01:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092873681 lingf_2025 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092876369 2) I don't think it is wrong for people people with power to sometimes conceal the truth from people depending on what the truth is. A lot of the time the truth tends to hurt others and a lot of times people act rashly towards that which can cause a disaster not only that but when people know the truth they like to turn it into something else, they'll understand it incorrectly and spread a distorted version of the truth to others which can cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstanding.

When the pandemic first stated in China and the Chinese government was trying to cover it up and other countries were not able to get thoroughly prepared. No one was prepared for a global pandemic.]]> 2022-03-14 01:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092876574 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092877811 I do think that sometimes concealing the truth may be useful in order to prevent chaos. Powerful people may hide the truth from citizens to not worry them and keep them calm but alerted if a big event is about to occur, however, they may also conceal the truth and spread propaganda instead, like what the Russian media is currently doing regarding the war with Ukraine.]]> 2022-03-14 01:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092877811 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092878363 2) Concealing the truth usually is a form of censorship that a government enforces when it doesn't align with there agenda. Personally, I believe that concealing the truth on some prices of information is appropriate. With social media and "freedom of speech" being a right that oh so many Americans claim, its the ideology that most people condemn censorship. But, when done right on certain data points, people can sleep at night. Yes if someone's is purposely concealing the truth they might be doing bad deeds, but depending on the context I believe that concealing the truth could be optimal for society to carry on.]]> 2022-03-14 01:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092878363 https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092878496 Not necessarily, it mostly depends on the context being interpreted in politics. Orwellian language would definitely help with supporting and strengthening the main idea, like for some particular topics such as the ones that tries to manipulate one into believing in Orwell's political belief. ]]> 2022-03-14 01:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mauricem1/yp4fkxftj1zkwsyc/wish/2092878496
