"All I Know Is What I Read In The Papers" - Will Rogers
.... is to make
it marketable so people will purchase it. Since what a politician hopes to
ultimately do is persuade people to vote for, or buy, their political platform,
they would be foolish to not take advantage of the captive and passive audience
of the advertising mass media. Unfortunately politicians and their management
take advantage of this medium to manipulate voters' choices. Two cases of
advertising manipulation on voters was during the Canadian National Referendum
of 1992 and the Quebec Referendum of 1995. During the National Referendum of
1992 over the Charlottetown Accord "three hours of free broadcast time was .....

Broadcasting, Programming, And The Audience
.... The FCC then offers a license to station B. After examining the audience
sizes, stations B also starts to show soaps. By programming to this audience, it
splits the soaps market with station A and both of them have 1300 viewers.
Station B does not pick another programming because no other choice can
offer more than 1300 viewers.
When the FCC offers a license to station C, things will definitely
change in this market. Station C sees the biggest audience available is the
sitcom market with 1200 viewers.
But when station C takes that 1200 viewers from the soap audience which
hold sitcoms as their .....

The Print Media Is Less Effective Than Other Media Types
.... news and have a greater number of choices such as which news program to
watch. Also, if a person is illiterate or a poor reader, it is quite obvious
that they will choose television over a newspaper. Television is a much easier
alternative than obtaining news through print.
A third and very important reason that print is the less effective
method of obtaining information is time. It takes much longer than watching
television or listening to the radio. For example, if a person works a lot and
spends his other time taking care of a family and driving to and from work, then
that person is going to choose the radio over the newspape .....

News And Newspapers
.... on the audience that yearns for entertainment
and adjuts its word selection and choice of articles to accommodate this need
for entertainment. The glitz and glamour of today's celebrities provide a
fantasy world in which the reader can escape. The Toronto Sun leaves no stone
uncovered as it stays on top of celebrity issues to accommodate their audience ‘
the average Joe' with entertainment. “Michael Jackson's wife gave birth to a
baby boy yesterday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center” (T.Sun Feb. 18/97) in the
article titled Oh Baby, Jacko to be a dad soon. What makes this article more
ominous than any other birth other than that .....

Movie: The Caine Mutiny - Evaluating The Performance Of A Government
.... aren't being achieved. Within the constitution, there is power granted
to impeach the leader if he/she is not implementing their primary services. In
the movie, we see captain Queeg as one who is incompetent of achieving his job
as the leader. Captain Queeg can be easily compared with Charles III—king of
England during the Revolutionary War. He was old, and powerful, and with
authority, but also wrong. Captain's new position angered many sailors aboard
the old battle ship with his strict and reserved mannerisms, and the way he
handled many situations gave the sailors fair reason to be easily infuriated.

The Importance Of The Press
.... The French revolution of 1789 will be used as a
backdrop for this inquiry.
There are many different types of political movements, and accordingly
there are many different reasons for these movements to occur. Value-oriented
and norm-oriented movements deal with matters of social and political concern,
but do so in the setting of the already existing political and social structures.
Revolutionary movements seek to make fundamental changes to society in order to
establish a completely new political and social order.1 The distinction being
that the first aims to make subtle changes to society from within, while the
latter's ai .....

Gothic
.... architecture was given
a special form in the Gothic church. "Medieval man considered himself but an
imperfect refraction of Divine Light of God, Whose Temple stood on earth,
according to the text of the dedication ritual, stood for the Heavenly City of
Jerusalem."3 The Gothic interpretation of this point of view was a cathedral so
grand that seems to belittle the man who enters it, for space, light, structure
and the plastic effects of the stonework are made to produce a visionary scale.
The result of the Gothic style is distortion as there is no fixed set of
proportions in the parts. Such architecture did not only express t .....

Jacob's Ladder
.... also says that the way he sees it, "If you're frightened of dieing
and you keep trying to hold on you'll see devils tearing your life away. If
you've made your peace then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the
earth." The film Jacob's Ladder uses the character of Jacob Singer to
demonstrate how the film's creators view death and afterlife. The central
character in the film is a man by the name of Jacob Singer (Jake), who is in
Vietnam in 1971 fighting for the U.S. against the Vietcong. The film begins with
a surprise attack by the Vietcong on the American camp which started a furious
gun fight with heavy casua .....

Jewish Art

storyf which only she knew. At first glance they were not so great but after her
explanation they became beautiful.
Her idea of creating new rituals for our religion through art really
striked me. I found her ideas to be very interesting because it was som
I think that many times Judaism is expressed through art because there
are so many beliefs on what it means to be a Jew. Many people cant explain how
they fell in words so , in this case, a more fun and interesting way was used.
Even though many religiou .....

The Return Of The Jedi
.... have an idea of the tenets and beliefs on which the religion is based.
Jediism is based solely on belief in the "force", a "Universal energy field that
surrounds us and permeates us". (O. Kenobi, SW) Stark and Bainbridge make the
point that any religion based on magic or magic-like rituals is fated to die out
unless the magic can work constantly and consistently. This, they argue, is why
many religions change from promising magic, which is quite verifiable (Did he,
in fact, levitate?) to promising compensators, a sort of unverifiable magic. A
good example of this is the Christian Heaven. Stark and Bainbridge take it as a
given, .....

Oedipus: Fates
.... of determinism, is quite common in the workings of Greek and Classical
literature. A manifest example of this was the infamous Oedipus of The Theban
Plays, a man who tried to defy fate, and therefore sinned.
The logic of Oedipus' transgression is actually quite obvious, and
Oedipus' father, King Laius, also has an analogous methodology and transgression.
They both had unfortunate destinies: Laius was destined to be killed by his own
son, and Oedipus was destined to kill his father and marry his mother. This was
the ominous decree from the divinatory Oracle at Delphi. King Laius feared the
Oracle's proclamation and had h .....

Julius Caesar: Brutus' Mistakes
.... he also let him speak at Caesar funeral. He was
warned by Cassius, but Brutus ignored him as usual. When Mark Antony spoke he
got crowd on his side and they killed all the conspirators except for Brutus
and Cassius (they excepted the angry mob and left Rome). This was some more
trouble that was caused by Brutus.
In the war Brutus makes another dumb decision. He wanted to go into Rome and
take it over, but Cassius wanted them to wait for the army to come. Of course
they follow Brutus decision and they are defeated. This was yet another bad
decision by Brutus. This final decision he lost his life.
I wonder some time who is wo .....
