Television changed the culture of the United States and later the world. Americans began buying televisions in the 1950s, and by

the end of the decade, 90% of families owned one.
In the early 1960s Newton Minow served as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Later, he was chairman of the board of PBS. He once described television as a “vast wasteland.” He also said, “When television is good, nothing is better. When it's bad, nothing is worse.”

Reflect on this idea as you describe the changes television brought to America during the 1950s, how TV influenced society, and the implications TV would have for the future.

Answer:

The TV had a huge impact on American society during the 50s. The major reason was that the Republican and Democratic conventions were broadcasted live from Philadelphia to the rest of the country. This increased the importance of TV in society. Now rural America was not isolated anymore, they were a part of society.

Then national tv shows got famous, news, sports, and events were broadcasted. Television allowed America to become one and regional cultural differences were reduced and a general American culture became famous and united the country. People from rural America feel like migrating to another area.

This way TV can be seen as the major point that changed American culture and society.

Why do third parties usually not last very long in the american two party system
Ivenika [448]

For the very reason that us as Americans have been in this two-party system for so long that we would want to keep this tradition rather than to add another party, and oppose eachother even more. Also, voters feel that having a third party vote is irrelevant because it is less likely to be voted for and won over.

Question 9 of 10
dexar [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. Because the Sudanese government focused on rebels in general,

not a specific ethnic group.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Since the early 2000s, violence against the Sudanese government has been prevalent in the Darfur region. Although, it was not defined as genocide by the UN.

Genocide

First, we need to understand what genocide is.

  • Genocide is defined as the deliberate killing of a specific ethnicity, nationality, or religious group.

For the UN to declare something a genocide, a specific group, usually a minority, must be targeted for their unique traits, like ethnicity.

There are 5 forms of genocide:

  1. Killing members of a group
  2. Causing grave mental or physical harm
  3. Forcing purposely terrible living conditions
  4. Preventing new births
  5. Forcing children out of the group

One of these must occur to a specific group of people for the UN to declare genocide.

Atrocities in Darfur

While the Sudanese government did deliberately kill people within Darfur, the government attempted to attack rebels. So, the government did not specifically target the ethnicity. However, the majority of the rebels were from Darfur, so some people saw it as a genocide.
