By some estimates, as much as 50% of the information we think of as news originated from a PR company. How do you feel about tha

t statistic? Do you think most people realize this?

Harrizon [31]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

How do you feel about that statistic?

That statistic makes me feel deceived, misled. Such a high number means half of the information conveyed to us is not completely trustworthy. It is what PR companies want us to think, not real information which we can use to think for ourselves. It is quite a sad reality, and it shows we still have a long way to go before we can think of ourselves as truly free. Knowledge is the rock upon which we can build our freedom. Without it, we are easily controlled and kept chained by those in power.

Do you think most people realize this?

I do not think people realize this. If more people knew about this, there would likely be a public outcry for change and better ways to filter what truly is news and what is not. That is obviously a difficult endeavor. But, just as so many others throughout history, it is worth fighting for.

What is the mistake in this sentence? "Learning to fly a plane and swimming were two skills Lucy really wanted to learn."
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

There is the same error repeated in two places in this sentence. This is because the sentence needs conjunctions before the verb "to fly" and before the word "lucy". Conjunctions are words that allow connections between the clauses of a sentence, allowing them to be read with fluidity and cohesion. Without these conjunctions, sentences are incorrect and incoherent.

The sentence written with the conjunctions correctly would be:

"Learning how to fly a plane and swimming were two skills that Lucy really wanted to learn."

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer

Women are more likely to have a voice in their own treatment.

The example given for her impact on people is about a woman who was locked up because of her mental status. After reading her work, her family "let her out into normal activity and she recovered." There is no mention of work, escaping or reading literature. In this case, she is merely stating that woman are being given a chance to be heard and their words acted upon.
