Connection #6--Culture

                We know that people involved in politics hold back information from us. The question is whether this is the right choice. Do politicians earn the right to have more information than other citizens? Personally, I feel that the majority of information should be available to the public. I do not see why they deserve to have more information than other people. However, I think things of danger may be held back or else chaos would occur. This really depends, though, on the degree on danger. Let’s say a nuclear bomb was about to hit and there was absolutely no way to stop it. I think in that case, telling the people would just cause unnecessary stress and panic. Actually, I’m not sure if I agree with that. I’d want the chance to say my goodbyes. I don’t know. Anyway, the government holds back information that isn’t a danger to us as well, which isn’t right in my book. They aren’t doing it for the well being of the public; which in Kant’s mind, is wrong because they aren’t choosing the moral path for the right reasons.
