Recommended: Essays on how media affects democracy

Newspapers becoming available on the internet, which can be accessed from most any mobile device, allows people to be informed while on the go.

Bringing the news online like this could result in a more informed democracy. Not everyone lives in an area that offers home delivery of newspapers so the ease of it being on the internet allows people to follow presidential elections, problems that arise in the government, and even criminal cases. News impacts our culture in ways we may never realize. Advertising was once a major resource for funds that newspapers relied on (Vivian 88). Most free news sites have pop-up ads or have you sit through an ad before a video begins. This affects our culture by introducing …show more content…

However, in the earlier days of production focused on essays, personality profiles, photojournalism, and investigative reporting (Vivian 97-98). The book talks about magazines that are available online and update content daily (Vivian 101). This type of thing also allows our nation to be informed on politics, world concerns, movie scoops, and even celebrity gossip. Magazines merging into the online community mean that people all around the world have access to them and companies are able to reach audiences they may not have been able to before.

    Through most of my time in high school, I always found myself writing more of exploratory writing for two simple reasons; it took a shorter amount of time, and relating writing to my personal experiences was something I had no need to look up. Exploratory writing is a time to take advantage to relate your own personal experiences and an attempt to make a connection with a certain reading. The experiences you have will not be exactly the same as you’re classmate and might be very enjoyable to read. Lamott and Hairston both use explanatory and exploratory writing in their essays by explaining the techniques of what good writers do and applying their own personal experiences. By applying both explanatory and exploratory in their essay they are able to provide the reader with new ideas they can adopt to improve their writing skills.

    Head to head hits are still a prevalent issue in the Nfl. Should head to head hits lead to an ejection from the game? If a player in college football commits an intentional helmet to helmet hit, the penalty is an ejection. If college football can input this penalty, couldn’t the NFL? We see that former football players who suffered many concussions over their playing careers, have long lasting effects. Some current players feel as though that they can’t control where their hits land and injuries are just a part of the game. Some fans feel as though all these penalties are taking the fun away the game. Former NFL players are an example of what helmet to helmet hits can do.

    Segregation in educational institutions taking place in the United States is not often talked about. People may consider apartheid schooling taking place presently to a nation that does not respect basic human rights. Thus, the injustices taking place in public schools are not easily classified because it is commonplace to many. It can be argued that apartheid schooling was never completely dismantled in the United States. Jonathan Kozol’s book The Shame of the Nation (2005) provides evidence and insight to apartheid within the educational system that children are currently experiencing. The structure in children’s curriculum, the way they are spoken to as well as the funding public schools are funded are examples to the inequalities that children face. Conceptually, structural violence is what keeps educational injustices to recur.

    Possessing an underutilized brain is like making a billion dollars, but simply hiding the money away forever: there are so many opportunities that stem from it, but it is worthless because it is never put to use. Rene Descartes felt this way himself, as he said, “It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.” I wholeheartedly agree with this quote; a mind is the most precious of commodities but one’s brain is not employed, than it is as useless as a pile of dirt. Still, not only does one have to make use of their mind, it must be in a way that can benefit society. Only than has one truly “used it well.” Despite what some may believe, it is not enough to simply be intelligence; one must use it to make something of themselves.

    Volunteering is helpful to many people around the world for many reasons like some people needing medical help, some needing food, some needing an education, and some needing a place to live.

    I believe that the ability to relate to a person, or a cultures, current, and past situations are the best tool for being able to relate the word of God to them. Many missionaries take on this the task of mission work without even counting the cost of their labor. Some have been born for this, others have been called to this work, and then there are those who train their hearts, and minds for this work. There is no special character, nor demeanor that is needed to qualify for this work, other than a love for the welfare of others and a desire to reach the un-reachable. Christians live by the great commission in Matthew 28:19, go ye therefore, and teach ALL nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost.

  • Analysis of The Death of Newspapers

    Newspapers have allowed for such a freedom in our everyday lives, and most have not even realized this fact. They have provided us with an outlet to speak our mind about politics, societal issues, public differences, and religion and cultures. Searching online to find such knowledge can be extremely challenging; moreover, newspapers always seem to be a place to find valid information. Newspapers have started to come off the printer more slowly over the past decade. More people are turning to electronic ways to find information rather than going to the direct source where that electronic media got their information. Most reliable information comes from newspapers where high up and educated citizens or leaders speak their mind on certain and important topics. The reason newspapers should stay a part of today’s society is because they offer a way for people to speak freely about what they please and get their voice heard, they are always credible, and they help us hear the problems of the world openly from different perspectives.
