The topic of an essay I have to do is deceiving politics and manipulating governments. I'll have to write about that in school, the time given is 45 minutes. Actually, they gave us 2 x 45 minutes to do it, but the first lesson was last week, and I think I did so bad that I should start from scratch.

Thus the reason why I came here to ask about it.
What should I write about? Last time I started with talking about how humans evolved and invented stuff and needed different governments, but now that I think about it, that's quite off-topic and silly.
I thought I should maybe start with WWII, about how the Nazis and Soviets used propaganda, then some about the propaganda in Russia today, and then some about Bush and how he mixes religion with politics and about the state of Iraq.
I'd greatly appreciate any ideas about anything else I should write about.
I came to ask about it here because the Current Events crowd is evidently into politics a lot.
Thanks in advance. [img]smile.gif[/img]
