ponder my dream again

Havn't be here for a little long time. Nothing special happend during these routine days, expect some annoying exams.
But there is something happened in my mind. I attended the amazing journalism lecture this week. And the professor talked about "objective". Yes, to a journalist, you must stand a neutral point of view to reveal the truth to the public. At first, i considered that journalist is also human being, they are working for payment, they need to feed themselves and their families. As well as, they have their own growing up expierences, and form a ideology and point of value in class by themselves. There is a thousand Hamlet in a thousand people's eyes. Can they really be objective? An abvious example is during the war time, it is undoubtly the journalists are tend to be patriotic in their reporting. Taking Iraq war for instance, the US media mostly report about the tremendous scenes that can represent the courage of the troops, the "smart arms" and the bombs. But meanwhile, the Arabian medai mainly reported about what happened on the ground after the bombs falled--dead bodies, badly injured children and all kinds of eyes fulling of anger and sadness. Even i can hardly kept my eyes on the screen. Of course they lose the principle of objective. But can we blame them? NO. Anyone in their position will do in that way without any doubt. Either, they do wrong. Because there must be justise and truth in the war. The problem is that in that emotional era, who are willing to seek the justice neutrally?
At least, i cannot make promise for myself. i always know that i am an emotional person. I do every thing leading by my heart. That is one reason i do not choose science. but it is satirized that i seems cannot aviod science--should be rational, be logical. Do i really suitable to be a journalist? I can nearly foresee that i break the rule of being neutral. If that, i am not a good journalist. Maybe that is really not aneasy job. But anyway, as soon as i take it as my dream, i will hanker, not matter what cost i will pay. That is a kind of blessedness. At lease, no matter how tough the time is, you are sure you can not be lost. And you always have a slight brightness in the future.
So i will persist, to the end of day.
