sion commercial is the most peculiar and pervasive form of communication to issue forth from the electric plug. the move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. but it was not until the 1950's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. by substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions. which of the following is not a plagiarized version of the above?

The correct answer is B. Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions (postman, 1985: 127-128).

Explanation:

To avoid plagiarism you need to reference the author, this means mentioning the name of the author and including the last name, date of publication, and pages in a parenthesis at the end of the citation. Also, if the exact words of the author are included rather than only a summary or paraphrase of these it is necessary to enclose the exact words in quotation mark (").

According to this, the option that is not a plagiarized version is B, because this reference the author correctly in (postman, 1985: 127-128) and uses the quotation marks when the exact words of the author are used. Also, in other options, the author is not referenced and the exact words of Postman are used without the quotation marks.

<span>B) because it is a newspaper article

Quotation marks go around the title of a short work. Long works are underlined. For example, poems, short stories, and songs are all in quotation marks. Books and album titles are underlined. This source is an article. We can tell because the magazine is called the Hampton Gazette. There is also an edition number in the source citation - E8. These clues tell us it is an article. </span>

Activity 5: Conclusion.
icang [17]

Answer:

The development of robust institutions is the most important proposal I can make in terms of human rights breaches on governments and communities. Independent Courts and Commissions dealing with specific topics such as corruption and gender issues are required. The environment should allow for a free press to operate without political intervention or impediment. Citizens should have the right to freedom of expression and association. Citizens must also be well-informed and engaged on all major topics.

   To put it another way, an activist citizenry should be nurtured and supported. Transparency, open participation, peace, stability, and inclusive development are the main characteristics that drive a democratic discourse, and these approaches have a net effect of promoting them.
