"It is a gold coin dropped

down a drain in Heaven"

The comparison means that it's sort of like a golden coin that someone had dropped down a sink drain on an accident, but someone dropped it down the drain in heaven and it has now landed in the sky of the Earth.

I think the author chose to make this comparison because the sun is yellow and it is sort of a golden color and it is sort of common for things to be dropped down the drain. Therefore, it is like a golden coin going down the drain of heaven and into the sky.

A cultural approach to understanding mass communication _______.
puteri [66]

Answer:

C. Argues that diverse audience will interpret the same information differently.

Explanation:

The cultural approach interrogates the representation of shared beliefs and presents communication as a process that produces, maintains, repairs and transforms reality. This approach provides the lenses to look at the mass communication in a disarmingly simplistic manner and thus, making it a wonderful experience. It argues that reality does not change but it is the perceptions of people that change with time and treats the beliefs as secondary. Thus, it argues that different people will interpret the same thing differently owing to their distinct perceptions and neglects the realities to be encompassing and suggests that the reality is different for different people and there is no 'single' reality. The cultural approach portrays mass communication in a different light. Thus, it argues that different people will interpret the same thing differently owing to their distinct perceptions.

How do you think white males in leadership positions could most effectively use their privilege to help others?
algol [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Such individuals have a platform that allows them to bring about significant change in society. I think the best way to do that is by targeting younger individuals in poorer places and teaching them, or at least giving them a guide on how to pursue certain goals and leadership positions, and mainly get out of the difficult environment that they are growing up in. Coming from someone who has lived in such an environment, schools do not teach kids from a young age how to navigate adulthood and formulate a strategy on pursuing such positions/goals.

goldfiish [28.3K]
The correct answer is A. Earthly

Utilitarian and frivolous are antonyms, which means they mean the opposite. The opposite of metaphysical is earthly because metaphysics often deal with supernatural things or things that cannot be observed.
