News and more

So, yesterday I decided to see what's going on in my home country Estonia. I didn't expect anything extraordinary,because nothing actually really happens in Estonia. But the first news that came on and that were quite shocking.- two Estonian girls in their early twenties were caught in Peru trying to take over boarder 6kg of cocaine. Of course they were arrested and are now waiting for the Estonian government's decision to save them from Peru's famous jails. But those changes seem quite small and they might be thrown to jail for 25 years.

Something local and really important in Estonia right now is regional elections, that have brought up a lot of trouble. For example our head of capital is trying to gain popularity among older people by opening churches. And for the opposite some politicians just tear down their competitors posters and fill them with leaves. This all, in my opinion just shows what people are willing to do just to raise a few bars higher in the social status. Most of them, as history has shown, don't fulfill much of their promises and their job isn't harder than mine or yours. So the question is, do citizens make their political decisions only based on what they've been promised or do they truly see what's happening on the background?
For the bias on the elections we can see a serious role in media. There is a party in Estonia who is not liked by many Estonians or young people due to their involvement with Russia. The owner of the main news broadcasting show is also against that them, because he is a member and a great supporter of another party. That all means that the news can't deliver anything in  bad manner of his party and everything is turned against the competitive party.

But on the lighter side the moose-hunting season in Estonia has begun, that means soon the tables of every Estonian will be covered with fresh moose-sausage. Also, during the international teacher's day Estonia's best teacher award was given out..

Compared to the events going on whole over the world right now, then that is all just a small fraction of it. Right now we have two big news events- the USA Government Shutdown and the war in Syria.

The Government shutdown is broadcasted allover the world as it affects all of us in a smaller or bigger way. But not everywhere is it been broadcasted the same way. For example here are few paragraphs- 

Hubert Wetzel in Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung

"What we have seen in America for the last few years already is the self-destruction of one of the world's oldest democracies. And the great tragedy is that this work of destruction is not being perpetrated by the enemies of democracy, not by greedy lobbyists or sinister big donors. America's democracy is being destroyed by those who ought to support and preserve it - by voters, parties and politicians... Nobody knows whether the country will still be solvent in three weeks' time. The bitter truth is this: politically, America is bankrupt already."

In this article they are trying to express how doomed America is an how it's every Americans own fault. This article is clearly not neutral and is trying to make people think like they do, as in negatively about all of the situation and the whole America.

Editorial in the Hong Kong Economic Times

"The US' party struggles are repeating a cycle again and again and becoming more intense, which keeps eroding market confidence in the US' debt. Although an impasse should be overcome this time, a big disaster could be played out sooner or later... US politicians keep adding gunpowder to the US debt bomb, and once it explodes, it will not only severely harm the US, but will become a major threat to the global economy."  

As we can see then China isn't looking for who to blame, but they are more concerned about the future and how it will affect their, already gentle, structures. 

Editorial in The Washington Post

"Americans' respect for their Congress has, sad to say, diminished in recent years. But citizens still expect a minimal level of competence and responsibility: Pay the bills and try not to embarrass us in front of the world. By those minimal standards, this Congress is failing." 

This American newspaper shows us the thoughts of many Americans, they are disappointed in their government and see that the Congress is failing. Somehow I think this post does provoke people against the government by stating how everything is collapsing.

All of the news above show criticism towards everything that's going on, and it would be hard not to do that do. With everything already going on in the world the shutdown isn't making it better. That is what every country probably agrees with.
