Media control how and what we think

The media does not control our behavior but it can control what you know and that can influence your behavior and how you think. It can do this if you get lazy and get all your news, info, and impressions of the world from a few similar sources. But then, if you do that, it's not the media controlling you. It's you surrendering control of your own thought processes. With a fair amount of judgment, intelligence, and curiosity, anyone can become totally immune to any media bias or "control." All you have to do is question, think, verify stories you consider suspicious, and read read read widely. Many magazines, many books, many sources other than TV. And as to those commercials that probably control your behavior more than any news, turn 'em off. Be a citizen, not a consumer.

Can I have brainliest please? :)

To a certain extent, yes, the media is controlling some of our decisions. We use media for hours on end and within that media we are being told what to think is important, instead of having an objective point of view and deciding ourselves what we feel is important.

Wittaler [7]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Dr. Dowell says that we need to be prepared for a pandemic. He thinks every nation should have an emergency plan. More medications like Tamiflu should be available. He thinks rich countries like the U.S. should help poor countries pay for medicine and health care.

Why does the author most likely include this information at the end of the text instead of at the beginning?

A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text

B. because it offers new evidence that is meant to help readers better understand the text

C. because it poses new questions for readers to think about now that they have read the text

D. because it offers supplemental information that readers can compare to evidence presented in the text

Answer:

The author includes this information at the end of the text:

A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text .

Explanation:

After discussing and presenting evidence throughout the text, author John DiConsiglio is now ready to conclude it. What he presents at the end cannot be new evidence or supplemental information, for that would not be a conclusion at all. He is also not presenting questions - he is making statements. Those statements are based on the information presented previously, supported by it. What the author wants now is to show how important that information was and how we can use it to be prepared for future cases of the disease.

50 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

hey there,

*You never provided a passage set, so I will just write what I think about this, personally, and I cannot include any evidence from sources, since you didn't give any here.

Also, it says "no plagiarism, I will know" so please don't copy this exactly but instead use the ideas I have provided in what I wrote.*

I think that having competitive team sports in high schools is a good thing. Competitive team sports have shown for a long time to be good for students. First, high schoolers will be able to experience what it's like to be on a team and get to socialize or make new friends. Second, students get to compete for awards and pride from their school, which makes a lot of kids happy. Last, sports provide a lot of exercises which is very important during your teenage years.

Being on a team is something to cherish for a long time. A lot of students already have many great friends, but there is always space for new people to add to your life. Talking to people is proven to make you happier and sometimes even do better in school. Losing or winning together as a team is much funner than alone. Practicing together daily or weekly lets you spend more time with them. Even hanging out outside of school will be a memory you will never forget.

Continuing on, competing is something kids have always loved. Whether it is a beauty pageant or a baseball game, winning always makes you feel good. Some kids have rows of medals and trophies in their rooms, and winning more with their team in high school will add to their collection. Years later, high school students will look back and see the memories brought from each trophy and remember each game, including how they won, and what made them happy. The school they go to will add their trophies and hang up posters, sometimes, to show respect for the winner of games.

Lastly, playing sports is something that should always be done. The more you do sports, the better you feel in general. Developing healthy habits at a young age is extremely important. It's much more exciting to get your physical education while doing something you love. Doing a quick stretch or a few jumping jacks before every game will get your body moving and your heart racing. It has been proven to help with mental problems of teenagers and helps students do better in school.

To sum up, doing competitive sports in high school is something that should always be done because of the great benefits you get like being on a team, winning medals, and getting good exercise. Those were my reasons why all high schools should be providing competitive team sports.

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.

Objective elements of art are things that the majority of people will agree on. Objective elements are based in the realm of fact or reality. Subjective elements are open to interpretation and will vary depending on your individual experiences. Instead of facts or reality, subjective elements are very opinion oriented.
