Answer and Explanation:

In his text, Lou Gehrig, shows how he has had enough reasons to consider himself very lucky and happy, since his vid has been filled with good things that go beyond his career and economic success. He presents this text showing how luck is often in things that go unnoticed, but that are essential for a good life, such as the family and those who are always willing to help us. It is likely that this text was written so that Lou Gehrig's admirers have a nation of how grateful he is to everyone around him, cheering, helping and supporting him in all situations. He does this to reinforce a more intimate and personal relationship with his readers.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”
Arturiano [62]

Answer: The following two lines depict the setting of the passage in the best possible way.

It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know. 

Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods. 

Explanation: The given passage describes the circumstances after a highly catastrophic event. The line ' It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know' conveys the fact that the land is devoid of any human presence. At the same time, the line ' Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods' describes that the narrator is surrounded by ruins of mighty architectural structures. 

Thus, both the sentences appropriately convey the circumstances of complete disintegration of human civilization in the post-apocalyptic world.

In your own words, describe the basis of anecdotal evidence.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Anecdotal evidence is a factual claim based solely on personal observation and gathered in a non-systematic or casual manner.

More information about Anecdotal evidence:

The term anecdotal evidence can be broken up into two distinct halves, both of which are words you are more than likely familiar with. Evidence is proof, in some form or another, offered to defend a belief or a claim. Anecdotes are short stories told to illustrate a point or support a claim. In many cases, anecdotes are presented as being true, representing real people and events. Anecdotal evidence, can be defined as testimony that something is true, false, related, or unrelated based on isolated examples of someone's personal experience. Anecdotal evidence is very popular in the advertising world. Every time you see a claim about a product's effectiveness based on a person's personal experience, the company is using anecdotal evidence to encourage sales. There is a big and distinct difference between anecdotal evidence and scientific evidence, or proof based on findings from systematic observation, measurement, and experimentation. While scientific evidence can be independently verified using the scientific method, anecdotal evidence cannot. Anecdotal evidence is often offered when there is an absence of scientific evidence or in an effort to refute scientific evidence.

Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
mojhsa [17]

Fro the excerpt based on the Nights, the evidence that best support the author's viewpoint is the last two options that talk about the shadow lain down and the father who had bread for his son, Mier. Thus, options D and E are correct.

<h3>What is the idea of the book the Nights?</h3>

The Nights is a book that is based on the horror and terror of the Nazi concentration camp and the story of a father. In the passage, it can be seen that food was very precious as the father was trying to hide the piece of bread.

The situation showcases the hunger as the man was getting attacked by the others when they saw him having bread. The author portrays the situation as if the people were very hungry and dying of starvation.

Therefore, the people became very cruel when they were starved.

11points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! discuss how the Internet or television has impacted Americ
shepuryov [24]
<span>The ubiquity of television and telephones, and soon the internet, have contributed to the power of the media to influence consumers. Virtually every citizen in every developed country has access to a television and a cell phone. Pervasive access to television has led to the rise of 24-hour programming. When I was a child in the early 1960s in the United States, we had three network channels and PBS. Cable was not yet available in the rural are where I lived. My own children, who were born in the late 1980s, have had cable and satellite television access since birth. They have never known what it is like without cell phones. They interact with peers via cell phones, internet, and social media like Facebook. The media pervades every aspect of their lives.<span><span>like 0</span><span>dislike 0</span></span></span><span>mwestwood | <span>College Teacher </span>| (Level 3) Distinguished EducatorPosted on December 23, 2009 at 3:18 PMThe most negative aspect of the media is that it controls what the public perceives and hears about.  European and Asian exchange students in my area, for instance, often ask why Americans receive little or no real world news.  There is a major network that has an evening program that is supposed to deal with world news, but little other than the mid-East is discussed. The magazine that is named for world news also gives only a select report on select parts of the world. Major newspapers in the United States are owned by certain people who control the slant of the news, again.  One need only look at the treatment of presidents such as Richard Nixon whose conduct was throughout his life constantly under the miscroscope and compare it to the investigations on other congressmen and presidents who have had less than ethical careers themselves. One such example is the senator from and Eastern state who undoubtedly committed murder as a young man, yet he was lauded throughout the media after his death.The presidential elections are perfect examples of the bias of the media.  In fact, <span>Time </span>magazine's editors even admitted to having influence the past election because of their front covers that presented one particular candidate a multitude of times. In another example of news bias, when citizens went to Washington to protest the proposed health care bill, it was reported to the public that a few thousand attended when later it was revealed that actually millions of citizens had gone.Photographs are good at creating bias, also.  Depending upon the angle of the camera, a small group can seem like more people, or many people's picture can be cropped to appear smaller.  So often, programs that are decidedly conservative invite prominent guests whose views are conservative, as do liberal programs. Frequently, people of one side or another watch programs that reinforce their beliefs so that they feel justified in what they believe.  Regular television shows even affect people's ideas about human relationships, race relationships, and morality.  "Sex and the City" and like shows condone behavior heretofore scorned in the America of earlier days.There are groups that work behind the scenes to expose these biases of the media.  Judicial Watch is one such group that prints information withheld by mainstream media. Currently, they are working on an issue that may go before the Supreme Court before it is over.To read a University of Pennsyvania report on "The Effect of the News Media Environment on Citizen Knowledge of State Politics" see the site listed below.</span>
