Response: Summer Olympics

I think the article was very exciting and heart-warming personally. Being a South Korean, these matters goes straight to the heart. This article was for a global audience- literally anyone since it was a highlight from Rio. News about and of the Olympics aren't targeted to a certain country or group of people. It's to everyone who can afford a TV or manage to get a newspaper anywhere in the world. The writer's bias might be against North Korea and supportive of global peace. The slant that the publisher, CNN, might have is the same as the writer's. The reader too will then be biased with the writer and CNN. The reader's mind will then think of North Korea's negative influence in the World and sympathize with the dilemma between North and South Korea. The purpose behind the article is to raise awareness (this did go viral) and understanding of how tragic the whole situation is. Families torn from each other, and people from both sides living in constant fear of mutual destruction is something people often miss seeing or recognize. It also creates a feeling of positivity towards the Olympics and any global event. Olympics in this case, is a symbol of global peace and what the world could be without the political conflicts.
