Many politicians have made controversial decisions in their past, however, they are still able to shape public perception of them to earn their validation.

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 12:09:03 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2423581 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2423581 I am confused with the elevating effect because news coverage generally receives more attention when they focus on negative aspects and polarization. Mon, 12 Apr 2021 04:27:34 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2423578 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2423578 There are media that inspire us to make a positive impact on the world around us. I don't believe that all media has this agenda, but it is nice to see there is media with this intention. Mon, 12 Apr 2021 04:20:07 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2390878 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2390878 This content I can agree with because it reminds us of what we all have in common and that we are all striving for the same goals, just on different paths. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 13:37:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2390854 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264772?scroll_to=2390854 This article contrasts my question because my argument is that media coverage is creating a larger divide between the country while this article points out that it unites us. Fri, 19 Mar 2021 13:24:03 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264338?scroll_to=2386773 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264338?scroll_to=2386773 I believe that the global pandemic has elevated our need to be constantly stimuted by news. In the past year, we have witnessed so many significant events such as George Floyd's death and the protests surrounding law enforcement, wildfires, the presidential election, etc. As we have been stuck at home for longer periods of time, we are more reliant of this news coverage and the world around us.

We start to discriminate against groups based on these destructive stereotypes. Thu, 18 Mar 2021 00:43:20 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264338?scroll_to=2386373 https://nowcomment.com/documents/264338?scroll_to=2386373 As human beings, we are wired to outweigh the negative aspects of our lives over the positives hence it's the same with news coverage and political matters.

Journalists often have a political agenda which they execute by using significant events to play people's emotions.

They mispell her name Henrietta Lakes and there is a discussion whether to include her life story.

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:27:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253924?scroll_to=2316437 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253924?scroll_to=2316437 I like how the writer establishes the norm for the standard treatment of homeless people. I haven't been too aware of the day to day struggle for the homeless and where they are able to stay in the day and night. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:24:52 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315164 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315164 The writer uses statistics to show the examples of the spread of false information in elections in India and it's orgins. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:42:20 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315163 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315163 The writer shows examples and sources of how researchers have expanded their sources for better fact-checking and data credibility. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:41:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315162 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315162 The writer is supporting his argument by using a personal experience of his own to express the concern of interpreting false news information correctly. In this case, it was for the better health of his family member to find the best medical treatment. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 14:45:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315161 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315161 This news app can allow more accessible ways to fack check information and maintain credible news. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:33:22 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315160 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315160 It is difficult to regulate harmful information in today's world because people and organizations can express their opinions as news in front of their laptops, without facing the consequences of their actions. Besides the presented solution by the writer, news sources must fact check and regulate what stories get national attention. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:31:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2315159 The author establishes the concern in line 7 and line 10 to show the danger of spreading false dangerous information and the threat of child trafficking. Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:16:41 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292545 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292545 Biden is Catholic, however, this statement doesn't come off as highly religious, yet more bounding with the American people. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:49:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292535 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292535 Biden acknowledges the riots at the Capitol as well as historically, the Civil War when the Capitol building was built. I feel he makes this statement to show how the Capitol represents hope and democracy despite all the destruction and violence in the country, even the events at the Capitol building. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:41:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292519 Biden references the Constitution of the United States to make a statement of the United States to find the democracy the country needs. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:35:51 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292493 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292493 It's interesting how Biden calls out Trump because Trump was the first president in over 150 years to miss his successor's inauguration. The inauguration is known as the peaceful transfer of power because one president hands down their role to the next president as a ceremonial event. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:32:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285939 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285939 Kennedy is making connections to the Civil War and the country's violent past with war and how people can move as a country in the difficult times they were living in with the Cold War, the Cuban Missle Crisis, the Civil Rights Movement,etc. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 13:58:36 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285176 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285176 Kennedy uses unity from the problems of the past and asks his audience how they can make this a better country Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:28:35 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285116 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285116 He and Biden are both Catholic presidents, and both have used religious vernacular to express their momentous achievements. He is appealing to many religious Christian Americans who look up to him. Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:16:09 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2270016 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2270016 The author includes her indirect thesis at the end of the review that expresses the core of why she is writing. She wants to express how the Black Panther expresses matters of social injustice and how these movies have the platform to express these issues. Tue, 12 Jan 2021 01:57:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2270014 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2270014 The author's word choice such as "groovy" or "rally cry" in this paragraph reflects on the passion of the author and their commitment to social justice. Tue, 12 Jan 2021 01:54:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269991 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269991 I see the author organized her review on her reviews of different characters and their attributes, the special effects, and how the movie sets itself apart from other Marvel movies. Tue, 12 Jan 2021 01:11:18 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269547 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269547 The movie reverts back to common themes found in cinema making references to the Lion King and Hamlet. Many Marvel movies get caught up in the action, the special effects, and the multitude of new superheroes, however, they often lack moral themes that make them more than superhero movies. Black Panther touches on so many common and contemporary themes found in today's world. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 15:11:25 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269522 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269522 The author makes the claim that Black Panther falls out of the normal pattern of Marvel movies in terms of its plot and framework that makes the storyline too complicated. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 15:00:29 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258014 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2258014 It's crazy how a perceived pandemic that could only affect the older population affects every single person on earth no matter their financial background or age. Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:56:36 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257992 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257992 I remember this is what led to the celebrity Imagine posted last March with a handful of actors singing parts of the song. It led to a bunch of backlashes because it made them look intolerant of the people really suffering from the pandemic Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:50:20 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257951 It's interesting to see the challenges countries faced across the world that had no correlation with the pandemic but impacted their citizen's lives significantly. Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:46:17 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220581 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220581 Here's an interesting use of Latin, at a time when complex emotions and wording are in decline. The word translation means "unto the ages of ages", which shows how deep a threat the British Raj tyranny presents. Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:18:02 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220373 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220373 He displays his hatred towards Europeans at the start of the excerpt however, he still uses British/European oriented vernacular such as the word "rubbish." Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:09:42 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213028 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213028 When Newspeak simplifies language to one word, the party is taking humanity out of the way we communicate. Newspeak would turn people into emotionless, dull robots with no complex feelings or emotions. By destroying words, they are destroying the intelligence, to make the Party the superior beings, able to control their citizens effortlessly.

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 20:33:44 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236502?scroll_to=2143003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236502?scroll_to=2143003 While greenhouse gas are at an all time high, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement was a alarming decision by the president. The economy was thriving with the Paris Agreement because it kept business competitive with investors to make a stand against greenhouse emissions within their own operations while maintaining strong business. Sun, 18 Oct 2020 20:30:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236502?scroll_to=2142892 https://nowcomment.com/documents/236502?scroll_to=2142892 The fossil fuel industry has been on the decline for the past 40 years due to large scale manufacturing. The renewable energy source industry diverse sectors to solve problems based off climate change brings much more job opportunities for Americans Sun, 18 Oct 2020 19:58:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131032 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131032 I feel there are many different factors to teenagers not working as much. First off, teens have busier schedules after school now with many extracurricular such as sports and school clubs like debate or robotics. There is also a higher expectation and pressure from parents and teachers to succeed in school, leading to a higher amount of homework. The other factor is whether a student can afford to not have a job.
