Case of crossing the line 2

Moreover, Sometimes a situation is much larger than it appears at first glance, and maybe that situation should break out and a few people are supposed to get injured in the grand scheme of things because in the end – consequence based – the whole village or whole country will benefit even more from great reporting then great humanitarian aid. This case is about the Cuba. Cuba is the country which as known the second biggest prison in the world for journalists in 2008. Also, this country was ranked near the bottom of the Press Freedom Index in 2008. Those facts are indicating that even though the reporter deceived his ID, but eventually it makes more benefits for Cuba and all over the world, I believe.
The third reason is as mentioned on this page their act was less deceptive than usual. They didn’t have on purpose for deceiving the officer. It means that they didn’t wear a fake clothes or dressed up like other Cuban people. In the paragraph, if the officer asks differently the reporter make sure who is himself and get a risk! But the officer had a different question and he thought that the reporter was a family members. Still, it’s just a coincidence happening not a purpose deceive acting!
However, there’s other perspective of view which disagree about deceiving some persons when they got a resource. Some might call the butterfly effect. Probably most of person know what this means. This is a theory when a butterfly flapping its tiny insect wings in sub-Saharan Africa could lead to a hurricane in another part of the world, or something along those lines. If a journalist decided to help people by break a some of rules, this could make some traditional belief for many people which is ‘if the result is good for many people they will understand what means they use for that! People doesn’t care about how they broken the rule or the belif or even though the law!’ Because journalists role is just to be offering coverage of it in the most objective way, they don’t have to break a rule or cross the line. If they couldn’t cover the story for some reason the viewer totally understand about their situation. This is very simple but true.
