Blog Task 3 Part 2 - Media Profile
1) Authoritarianism has no
election, one man rule and people in the country have no selections of
leadership whereas libertarianism make a point of the ability of human to use
their logical thinking to make right decisions to select who to be their leader
and it is a democratic country and a media freedom country. However, authoritarianism
and libertarianism also bear advantages and disadvantages to the country. The
pros of authoritarianism are, there will be no opposition and it is easy to
carry out their own policies. This system also brings better control over
constituents and it will be more organised and efficient. Societies in an
authoritarian country will have privileges in terms of education. On the other hand, the cons of authoritarianism are, people have no rights to express their feelings towards the country and it is
not a media freedom country. Also, the news has to be approved before being published. Corruption also may happen easily in this ruled country.
The pros of
libertarianism of a country give more civil freedom to human from government.
It also ensures that resources in the country are more efficient and people are free to have their rights. Whereas
the cons of libertarianism are the government does not take full control of
the country, therefore people have to work very hard for themselves. As this happens, people get disappointed and the longer it prolongs they
tend to want more of a centralised government.
