WAG THE DOG

The film "Wag the Dog" presents various ethical violations, particularly in its portrayal of a fake war to distract from a presidential scandal. One notable situation involves the manipulation of public perception through fabricated media. To achieve strategic outcomes without compromising ethics, genuine transparency and open communication could have redirected public focus in a more legitimate manner. In navigating the complexities of a presidential campaign, I would advocate for "moral legitimacy" over "pragmatic legitimacy," emphasizing authenticity and integrity in the political process to foster public trust and accountability.
