The media is the greatest opportunity and the greatest threat for democracy



Kimmo Huosionmaa

The media is a thing what rises and falls political leaders all around the world. Power of the media is absolutely incredible when political leaders and candidates are making their ideas well known for everybody in the state. Media and media-houses are in a key role when political leaders will share the ideas with the people, whose votes are very important when somebody wants to become the member of the parliament.


If media bans some candidates, that they can't get any marketing time for the ideas, or gives free marketing minutes to other candidates, will that make an influence to all election system? But marketing is much more than only minutes on the TV set. Where those marketing minutes will put are at least so important as a number of minutes on TV. If those minutes go in the middle of programs, what doesn't interest the politician's target group, they don't have any influence for the group where that political person will focus his or her speech.


Banning of a person might happen by many ways. The most hated method is that reporters begin to harass a candidate with some personal stuff. It's the very nasty thing to glance with somebody's medical conditions or behavior in some past things. If that medias quest will face only scorn and underrating it makes that interview very uncomfortable. And in those situations might some people collapse. Sometimes those reporters will use physical violence in those shows.


If some young candidates media-minutes goes in the middle of some evening day shows, those minutes go for nothing. None of the young people will stay in the home in early afternoon. And if some candidates target group will be elder people, the right place to put those expensive minutes is not probably in the middle of rock-concert or something action movies. Those minutes are suitable for young people, who looks for that kind of programs. This is the way how media takes influence to political control. If the media doesn't like some persons, they just ban those candidates, and that makes bad things for their campaigns.


The media is a key element when mistakes and errors on the society will bring to people mind. And medias role is to control public authorities and bringing misuse of authority into public knowledge. But if media gives false information it will become the biggest enemy of democracy what people ever can imagine, and that's why populism is so dangerous. We must remember that the worst dictators in the history, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler have risen to the leadership of their governments with medias support, and if the media lies to the people, they can't get knowledge, what those men in shadows are actually doing.


And publishing false gallops, will media make new kind of politics. A person who ever make good decisions. If gallops say that 90% of people want something, might most of the politicians take that thing in their program? And that would have a very strong influence for legislative part of the government. Politicians can't just pass 90% of electors, and that's why gallops are so important in the political environment. But is that number right, that's the question? If the number of that preponderance is only 55% the politicians would not follow that group so strongly. But if some actor fakes the number as a 90% that will cause strong movement in the parliament. That's why faking the gallops is the very strong method to take influence to the political movement.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the interstellar nebula  falls  it can form

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later".
