My greatest passion lies in argument; no—not picking fights in traffic, or calling my mother on the phone to point out her character defects! A pure argument that consists of facts: I make the argument—express my point of view on a subject, and support it with evidence. I am also extremely articulate and a great writer, but this is not the time for an ego trip, so I will stick with my passion for strong healthy arguments.

According to the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “In everyday life we often use the word "argument" to mean a verbal dispute or disagreement. This is not the way this word is usually used in philosophy. However, the two uses are related. Normally, when two people verbally disagree with each other, each person attempts to convince the other that his or her viewpoint is the right one. Unless he or she merely results to name calling or threats, he or she typically presents an argument for his or her position, in the sense described above. In philosophy, "arguments" are those statements a person makes in the attempt to convince someone of something, or present reasons for accepting a given conclusion…” (2008).

I aim to provide my audience with evidence, support it with a claim, and I invite argument! I want instructors, students, and the public to disagree with me. However, the main goal of my research is to present evidence that convinces my audience that media monopolies in the U.S. are dangerous for a democracy; as well as evidence that suggests that Restoring the Fairness Doctrine and amending the Telecommunications Act of 1996 are crucial steps to ensure U.S. media remains free and democratic. I invite argument, in hopes of finding a solution to the dangers of an undemocratic press. Change starts with an argument.  
Change is never easy, it takes some kicking and screaming to get there; I know inviting argument brings about constructive criticism, and I can take the heat! I aspire to change the world—But, I will start with a plan to restore a healthy democratic media to the United States; a free press that promotes democratic policy—using one of the free press’s most powerful tools: The World Wide Web.

Bill Shales with the Washington Post reports  “The Bill has numerous terrible, onerous provisions, from allowing individuals to own more TV stations than ever before, to deregulating the cable bill that was passed only a couple of years ago, so that cable rates will be able to go up, cable companies will be able to buy your local phone company, your local phone company will be able to buy your local cable company. In many smaller cities under 50,000, so there’ll be one voice there, and try to get lower rates when you’re dealing with the same company, whether it’s cable or phone.”

And, further is it time for amendment to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and a reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine? Who, if anyone, has tried to reinstate the fairness doctrine? What should the amendment entail? What is the best plan to secure a democracy –remains a democracy?Adolf Hitler’s dictatorship largely suppressed freedom of the press through Joseph Goebbels Propaganda Ministry.  Journalists who crossed the Propaganda Ministry were routinely imprisoned or shot as to death. Could this happen in the U.S?
