Answer:

No, because it's not a representative sample of the people of the US.

Explanation:

In statistical analysis, a representative sample is a subset of a population that matches the characteristics of the whole population. A survey instrument (like a poll) used to collect information from a representative sample allows us to extrapolate the results of the survey to the whole population. However, if the sample is non-representative, this can't be done. In this case, <u>the telephone poll is not representative of the whole population of the US</u>, because this poll was conducted by contacting only people who have landline phones, thereby excluding people who only have mobile phones and people who have no phone at all. Therefore, no matter the results of the poll, you can't say that over 50% of all people in the U.S. do not support gay marriage.

Essay on World War One using Primary source
lilavasa [31]
As students of history in the 21st century, we have many comprehensive resources pertaining to the First World War that are readily available for study purposes.

Autobiographies, diaries, letters, official records, photographs and poems are examples of primary sources from World War One. The two primary sources…show more content…
Wilfred Owen asks where are the “…passing-bells for these who die as cattle?” The author of “Anthem for Doomed Youth” leads his reader through his personal struggle and frustration of war. Owen has an abrasive approach when describing the death all around him and clearly expresses his anger with the “hasty orisons” for the dead. He speaks directly of battlefront in the first octet and then includes the home front in the second half of his sonnet. Owen’s purpose is not a commemoration of fallen soldiers. Rather, he divulges the disgust and disappointment of war. Like McCrae, Wilfred Owen paints a picture of the multitude of deaths. Back at the home front, “…each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.” We can construe that the author is not simply talking about preparing for bed in the evening, but rather lowering the blinds in a room where yet another dead soldier lies, as an indication to the community and out of respect for the soldier. There is a lack of “passing-bells for these who die as cattle….no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs.” Owen writes as though he feels that there is indifference among the death of his fellow soldiers. The poem, “In Flanders Fields,” is impregnated with imagery. “This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres.” John McCrae had just lost his very close
