USA Today will have to move from the past into the future to maintain a competitive advantage. Although the newspaper was fresh and innovative at its conception, it has grown stale. The past color scheme of news (blue), Sports (red), Life (purple) and money (green) is no longer eye catching. The format needs to be modern with more photos and graphs with the ability to sear for more in-depth information linked to each article. Several of its competitors, Wall Street Journal and New York Times
entire newspaper industry is in a period of uncertainty, including the nations top performing newspapers. USA Today is among the best newspapers, yet the company is struggling to maintain readership. In a world where consumers have information available to them at the click of a button, USA Today has attempted to keep up with new trends in information consumption (Ferrell & Hartline, 2011).

USA Today has been a widely successful company. When newspapers were the only form of read news, USA Today cornered the market in the national newspaper arena. As the digital age came about, it was time for change. New companies were emerging as leaders in the online news arena, and even established companies were moving towards online news. USA Today had to move in a different direction. They had to deal with staying ahead, or even with the competition. USA Today, or USTA was launched in 1982.
The Death Penalty in Canada and the USA The death penalty, also referred to as capital punishment, has been abolished in Canada since 1976, but still exist in a few American States. The last execution in Canada took place in 1962. I disagree with the death penalty for several reasons.

Another reason for my disapproval of the death penalty, is the amount of money that
FAMILY STRUCTURE AND NURTURE IN NEPAL AND IN THE USA The meaning of family varies from place to place and from culture to culture. One all-encompassing definition that describes every type of family across the board does not exist.

Although the government, knowledge, and education the U.S. and the world has received from Greece is not visible, it is still very important today. The U.S. government has many things in common with the ancient governments of Athens and Sparta. Athens and Sparta both had branches of their government that carried out different responsibilities, just like the U.S. has today. One branch of government passed the laws while the other carried out the laws (Beck et al. 131, 134). However, in Athens, there was also

Although these new
Posession of Guns in the USA Zimring and Hawkins states that America is a gun culture with these words from the report of the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence in 1969.

I Wish to Study Internal Medicine in the USA Medicine appeals to me as a humanistic, challenging field that offers an opportunity to help people in the most vital aspect of their lives; their health.
