Antiwar Blog #6

 I was unaware of anti-war websites until assigned this blog post. Of course, I have seen websites write about wars going on as it is news that needs to be heard around the world when a war has taken place. It is very intriguing to realize that I have not seen or read anything about antiwar thoughts. 

As soon as I opened up the link to the Antiwar websites, I immediately understood how passionate they were before I even read someone's thoughts or story. The way the website is set up shows that these people who are antiwar are passionate as the information is close together, every story is separated into color groups, and different text sizes which makes it easy to get the information across. 

One of the reasons why most people probably have not seen these websites is because the search engine limits who can see them. If any search engine does not agree with antiwar thoughts, they can hide the link that displays these stories and thoughts that they do not agree with. The limitation of views to these websites and the fact that they are so hard to find, it makes it harder for people to spread the word about
the antiwar thoughts. Mainstream media does not produce a whole lot of information about antiwar thoughts, or give much publication to them. A reason for this can be because the news company does not agree with these antiwar ideas, or they just focus on the war happening itself which they can view as hard news. 

I think there are both positives and negatives to this situation. One positive is that there are people out there who are very passionate about ending wars and that they are not the answer to certain conflicts. The negative is that their opinion does not surface to a popular level. Who knows, if these antiwar people can get their stories out to the majority of the public eye, it could lead to as far as a war being prevented. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard.
