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

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.

Elodia [21]

The correct answer to this open question s the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Martin Luther King III set important goals. His goals were the same as those of his parents, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King in that he stills wants to be an African American civil rights activist who fights for minorities in America.  

The goals are different in that Martin Luther King III did not mobilize people to take the streets as his father did or organized the massive events of the civil rights movement in the 1950s-the 1960s because these are different times with different contexts and legislation that had permitted a different atmosphere compared with what Martin Luther King Jr. lived in the 1960s.

Notwithstanding the different ties and circumstances, racial issues in America still persists. King III was the President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (1997-2004), where he tried to continue the legacy of his father.

Honestly, I would think C because most writers are shy and showing creativity through their writing, instead of showing it themselves in real life, being social.
