Answer:

B. The media are for-profit businesses, unable to be fair or objective in the interest of the public.

Explanation:

The media's objective is to sway the public into believing what they say, and to essentially (though the term may be harsh) <em>brainwash</em> the viewer to see the situation as the media see's it, instead of allowing them to have their own objective view. Of course, it does not work 100% like this, but the way the media portrays events can definitely affect the view of a person.

For example, in recent events, President Trump proposed a tax deduction to help small businesses and the ordinary person to survive through the wake of the Corona-virus and the stay-at-home order. However, while it may seem like a good thing, the media <em>sways the public's opinion</em> to believe that the tax cuts were only beneficial to the wealthy. This sways people's beliefs of whether the tax cut was beneficial as a whole or not, but Trump did a tax cut, which is all that matters.

Another example can be found in a not-as-recent event, where President Obama signed tax cuts into law. Most media coverage of it was neutral at most, even positive sometimes. This shows that there is bias inside the media, and those who read, listen to, or watch certain media would be accustom to their way of thinking as well.

Remember, all media is there to make a profit, and to do so, they must 1) have large amounts of viewers, and 2) be able to influence others into seeing events the way they see it. There is no objective views in the media, for everybody has their own opinions, and own set of beliefs.

mylen [45]

Answer:

FDR had been stirring up conflicts in Europe since around 1935 in the hopes of getting the United States involved in a war to create jobs after his New Deal programs failed.

The war in Europe didn't involve United States' interests, and so Congress wouldn't give FDR the green light.

To force their hand, he arranged for oil embargoes around the Pacific and then lured Japan to America with promises of much-needed oil.

First, however, they were required to purchases licenses to buy the oil and then Roosevelt reneged on selling them at the last minute. This infuriated the Japanese, provoking them into attacking Pearl Harbor.

In doing this, FDR's provocation of Japan to attack the US was an act of treason.

Answer:

The United States would not get involved in any European affairs.

Explanation:

The Monroe doctrine said that the United States would not get involved in any European affairs and the United States would not interfere with existing European colonies in the Western Hemisphere. The meaning of this statement is that the United States will remain neutral and can't favour any European country. He wanted to stay away from the European wars and focuses other issues of the country so Monroe doctrine prevents United State's involvement in the war for the betterment of the country.

the word cafeteria comes from a the Spanish word cafeteria which means coffee shop is is a cultural diffusion or no
EleoNora [17]

Hello! I'll gladly go over this question as a native Spanish speaker.

It's very common to see Spanish words that were adapted or transitioned from an English word. Cafeteria would be one of them. Another eample would be tanque = Tank. This is the result of a bad pronunciation or adaptation from the original word which would be the English one.

You can definitely find many examples like that one, and notice how Spanish cultures mix English words with their Spanish and adapt them until they become official words in dictionaries.
