The correct answer is D. Kept people from settling farther west
Explanation:
In the United States, the Appalachian Mountains extend from the North of Maine to Alabama; this geographical feature creates a natural barrier that separates the East coast from western territories. Indeed, during the first decades of colonization, settlers only settled east to the Appalachian and in this territory, the first thirteen colonies were formed. This is because it was challenging to cross the Appalachian Mountains and settled in western territories. This means, these mountains initially prevented settlers from going farther west (option D.)
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
<em>Agenda-setting theory</em> is a social science theory which attempts to make predictions regarding the influence of the media. It describes the ability of news media to influence the important topics on the public agenda.
This theory argues that the news media has a great influence on the audience by covering some news more frequently and prominently, thus making the audience think of it as more important.
Nevertheless, news media does not operate within a vacuum. Policy makers and participation of the public have an important role when it comes to the decision of what makes public priorities. Therefore the society is active in building the setting and making a causal relationship with the media which then is reshaping the agenda-setting.
