The word used for such statements as described here is sensationalist.

Explanation:

Sensationalist statements are those that are designed to gauge reactions out of people and not necessarily raise the level of, or contribute onto any meaningful discussion in any way.

The statement has no semblance of facts to back it up and is often very exaggerated form of a truth that has been convoluted beyond its sense so it serves only to rile people up and not to make them discuss things.

It is often used in rhetoric to drive the points away from discussion and make speeches out of debates.

In the first question, as millennials, it is ideal if you create a blog, where students can interact to your opinion and can voice out their feedback also.

For the second, don't go after the controversial issue, much more when you are writing it over the internet, you will be feasted with ants and rats. Just go with your personal thoughts and research about it so people won't see you as an attention-catcher only. If your research is reliable, they will respect you for that. Everyone has its own freedom of speech and it is in the code of professional ethics. Voice your own opinion and be realistic, someone whom others could believe in.

Third, just start with the persons whom you are closer too. Hear their opinions and discuss it with them. Listen and accept their feedbacks, and if they say that you should spread it publicly then you should.

Last, don't argue with a particular view point. Some will hate you with that as they think that you are stomping on their ideals, you will be the talk of the people. Just go with your own opinion. Accept different answers, respect them and judge each replies if it is accurate or not.

Your opinion must be heard. Herald it.

Hope that answers your question.

Is the underlined word a predicate nominative or a predicate adjective? Langston Hughes was one of the greatest poets of the Har
Bond [772]

A predicate nominative because "one" follows the verb "to be- was (past tense). A predicative nominative alwasys follows the verb to be in al of its forms and one should view it as "equals", as in, Langston Hughes equals on of the greatest poets of the Harlem Renaissance. A predicative adjective must modify the subject and is linked with a verb, but in this sentence "one" does not modify Hughes. Another trick for remembering is that if you were to switch the order of the sentence, it would still make sense; "One of the greatest poets of the Harlem Renaissance is Langston Hughes."

Newspapers and television can be the most biased, because are influenced by owners and journalists personal view. Things can only be published/said with someone's approval, so can be directed to one's point of view.

Internet is the least biased, because its content come from multiple sources. But depending on the source, also can be wrong, or not be reliable.
