Answer:

The history of the birth, development and evolution of mass media, and also of mass communication is a long one, but it can be traced back to old times when books were created by hand. This form of printing, which preceded the great invension by Guttengerb in the 15th century, and which allowed people to be able to print paper, and thus create books in mass, replaced the old form of mass communication, which was, oral communication. Further on, down the line, in 1810, Friedrich Koenig invented a printing machine that used steam power, thus starting the massive printing press. From then on, mass communication, and the mass media, began to grow and develop into what we know today. I will start answering then your questions, starting with the last one:

1. How does mass communication differ from mass media? Mass communication is defined as the process of passing on information to as a large group of people as is possible. Mass media is defined as the means by which mass communication can be achieved, through a medium (television, radio, internet, etc.)

2. Communication media has evolved in the United States, especially since the 19th century and beyond. During the Industrial Revolution, in the 1800´s, there were two means of communication: printed press, and telegraphy, which was invented by Samuel Morse in 1837, and which later on became the precursor of wireless means of communication. During the two world wars, however, the communication media that became predominant was the radio, which appeared around the first half of the 20th century. However, at this time, telgraphy was still very much in use, especially by the military. In the 1960´s, however, a new media appeared on the scene, and became predominant: Television. All the post-world war era was lived, and experienced through this form of mass media. During the 1980´s and 1990´s, cable television came onto the scene, and not much later than that, digital and virtual mass media sprouted up with the appearance of Internet.

3. These forms of media differed probably in the quality, and also the fact that today, most of them have had to adapt to the virtual forms of communication. Since people are now used to communicating virtually, through computers and smartphones, and internet-connected devices, books, magazines, and even TV and radio, have adapted to also be part of this virtual world.

4. All these communication media that we spoke before helped to interconnect the world. From printing, when people were able to access much more information than before, to the telegraph, to the radio and TV, all these forms of mass media served to increase interconnections in the world. They also allowed people to become aware of a world that was much larger than the one that surrounded them immediately.

zepelin [54]

Answer:

I agree with what Eric Foner wrote (“the language with which World War II was fought helped to lay the foundation for postwar ideals of human rights that extend to all mankind”) because after World War II was over, there was a greater reaction and resistance to dictators, dictatorial parts of constitutions in democratic governments like the United States, and dictatorial governments in many parts of the world. Many people and races came to realize the injustice and unfairness that resulted from dictatorship and segregation; this led to the increase in fights for human rights, even in the United States which was against the oppression of the Jews and other races of people during World War II. The cooperation of different races during the war helped inspire postwar ideals of human rights which didn’t immediately resolve the racial issues between whites and blacks; however, it created civil rights which became more established later on, especially in the past few decades.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is psychotropic medications.

Explanation:

An eating disorder featured by unusual low body weight, distorted perception of weight, and an intense fear of gaining weight is known as anorexia nervosa. In order to restrict weight gain or to lose weight spontaneously, the individuals with the condition generally limit the amount of food they consume severely.  

The treatment of the condition is usually done with the help of a team that comprises mental health professionals, doctors, and dietitians. Some kind of therapies and education regarding nutrition play an essential part in spontaneous recovery.  

One of the prime objectives of the treatment is to restore a healthy weight. Some of the psychotherapies like family-based therapy play an essential part in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. There is a need for the individual to restore healthy eating habits.  

However, no medicines are approved to treat the condition as none has been witnessed to work very well. Some of the antidepressants or psychotropic medications can be used to treat other mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, but not anorexia nervosa. A mental health professional or a psychologist can work with one to create behavioral strategies to help one in returning to a healthy weight.
