Chris Evans’ “A Starting Point”
There is a new political website that hopes to educate citizens on pressing political concerns in a simple way.
Chris Evans is primarily known as the actor who played Captain America in the Disney Marvel movies. His performances have created quite a name for him in the acting business, even though he is known for this, he is also very active in politics and tries to stay well informed. While attempting to learn more about various political concerns in the United States, he realized that it was very difficult to learn about simple topics that were pressing matters at the time. This realization made him want to create a website that is formed to make it easier for people to learn more about politics in a simpler way, this became the website currently known as “A Starting Point.”
A Starting Point hopes to use politicians to explain various concerns in the political world, as well as provide information from several sides and opinions surrounding the topic. The way of achieving this is a plan to use short interviews conducted by Chris Evans on various politicians in order to explain the topics in a short and concise fashion. According to Wired, the website will have several sections such as immigration, health care, economics and education. Each of which will have a series of questions and answers about the current issues in the category. Even though this website promises greatness, there are still several areas of concern.
“It is possible that bias can occur,” sophomore Kailanie Llagan said. “At the same time, he’s going to need to keep it equal if he wants people to go onto the website to research.”
Chris Evans is a known democratic leaning person, who publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton in the previous election, and has also insulted Donald Trump on several occasions. Due to this, the area of concern in terms of bias is great; however, if he manages to keep the website unbiased and gives each side equal representation, then it should remain effective.
The release date for his website is yet to be announced and with the upcoming elections, it is very possible that they hope to release it in time to explain the current political debates in the presidency. There is a lot of mystery surrounding A Starting Point; however, if it stays as what has been promised, it should become a very useful website to many people in the United States.
