It could possible be ironic and problematic because the rest of the world was technically already "discovered", but just not by the Europeans specifically.

1. Examine the ways in which the media stereotypes certain groups. Which groups benefit the most from this stereotyping ? Which
marin [14]
Oh no.

Okay so first lets talk about what stereotypes are. Stereotypes are essentially what society has made as the “commonality” of the populations of certain races, social groups and social tendencies.
Okay, now that that is out of the way:

The media sometimes stereotypes groups of people based on something most people don’t think about; that being Political groups. For example, CNN and FOX news have really bad habits of talking about the “stereotypical” conservative or the “stereotypical” democrat. If you pay attention to certain clips from these stations, you will see stereotyping as well as less than friendly conversations involving politics.
Next up, who benefits? Well, people who want the attention frankly. People can use stereotypes to actually make a point or to even further disprove stereotypes.
Who is harmed? People of color. That is kind of the obvious answer unfortunately. People of color have stereotypes that don’t put them in the best light. Frankly, I find it biased and not true, however people sometimes believe in these stereotypes. So sometimes these stereotypes can harm the people of color.
Finally, how does it affect the political sphere? People are labeled and the political sphere becomes more radicalized. When stereotypes are pushed forward and when people believe it, ideas become radicalized. This is NOT good, radical opinions often bring hatred and EXTREME bias with them.


Hope that helps and good morning!!!

What was the link between the launch of Sputnik I and the National Defense Educational Act?
Molodets [167]

The National Defense Education Act was created in response to the launch of Sputnik I.

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The National Defense Education Act (NDEA) was passed into law on 2nd September 1958, providing money to U.S. academic institutions throughout all grades

It provided extra financing to American academic institutions (schools, universities and research initiatives).

The Act was established directly following the release by the Soviet Union of the first-ever Sputnik satellite.  

It was a general sense of failure and a failure especially in comparison to the Soviet Union; it was designed as a push to carry on researching and winning the space among these two contending countries.
