Technology gives us more forms of mass communication and mass media that might affect political discourse. When the internet age this has rapidly increased the number of voices and political communications outlets from a wide ideologically range.
With social media, political communication doesn't need traditional or commercial media to speak up their voice and directly communicate with those that agree with their ideological tune. This has given easier and cheaper access to political debate.
Also, it has led to debate over media bias and the impact of media ownership. As the access to media is wider and more open now, anyone can inform partisan news as impartial news. The impact of media ownership stands on how media owners create media bias to favour one or another partisan or ideological range.
The correct answer is Option A) Pearl Harbor
Osami Nagano was the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff during the World War II.
The United States could have proven to be a huge problem for Japanese forces, due to the former's Pacific Fleet.
In order to completely handicap the United States Pacific Fleet, a plan was devised for a surprise attack on Hawaii's Pearl Harbor. From a tactical point of view, the plan was executed perfectly as the Japanese were able to destroy a large part of the America's Pacific Naval power.
Strategically, it was seen as a disaster as the US was, before the attack, keeping an isolationist policy in World War II and did not have intention of entering any world conflict.
On April 6, 1917, the U.S. joined its allies--Britain, France, and Russia--to fight in World War I. Under the command of Major General John J. Pershing, more than 2 million U.S. soldiers fought on battlefields in France. Many Americans were not in favor of the U.S. entering the war and wanted to remain neutral.
Protectionism is
the use of trade barriers to protect local companies and their workers from
foreign competition. Import tariffs, quotas, subsidies/tax cuts to local
businesses and direct state interventions are some methods of Protectionism.
This is where government actions and policies directly restrict or restrain
international trade with the intention of protecting local businesses and jobs
from foreign competitions.

Some critics
argue that over time these types of government actions end up hurting people
that they intend to help and protect. They promote free trade as an alternative
and superior solution over protectionism.</span>
