Answer:
This quote refers to yellow journalism's sensationalism and exaggeration over simple figures and facts. This served to draw attention to articles and to sell newspapers.
Explanation:
Yellow journalism is a pejorative term applied to journalism made without real research and ethical considerations.
The context of the quote is late 19th century when Hearst's newspaper, <em>New York Journal</em>, published constantly about Cubans' fight for freedom from the Spanish. It was believed by historians that the campaign led by the New York Journal to remember the U.S.S. Maine, the American ship that was supposedly blown up by the Spanish, was one of the causes for the Spanish-Cuban-Phillipino-American of 1898.
Although it is known today that the war was caused by American imperialist needs for raw materials and consumer markets, Heart's yellow journalism is still associated with the period.
Answer:
In this verse, the speaker is asking the people to think of the past when God had helped them and brought them out of their many struggles. He wants them to think of all the good that God had done for them and follow such examples, and not deviate from His ways.
Explanation:
Deuteronomy is the fifth book in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. The book contains the laws of God as given to Moses, and the book retells the Israelites about these laws.
Chapter 32:7 states <em>"Remember the days of old, consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you."
</em>
This verse is referring to the past actions of God when he helped Israel overcome obstacles. The speaker is addressing the present generations, telling them to ask their <em>"fathers, elders" </em>about those times in the past, so that they will come to remember the love and grace of God. They should remember the great things that God had done for them and that should be a good reminder of what God is capable of doing to them if they obey His words.
<em>"The days of old"</em> refer to the days when God nurtured and helped Israel and <em>"generations past"</em> are the Israelites that were witnesses of God's grace and love. He then asked the present generations to<em> "ask"</em> their elders about the things God had done for them.
