This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Alanis is sitting down after school to examine the research project she has been assigned in her high-school history class. She must first research the reasons behind the Great Depression in American history. Then, she must develop assertions concerning the best way to nurture a nation's economy. Which type of thinking has her teacher asked her to engage in?
A. Inductive reasoning
B. Deductive reasoning
C. Utilizing representativeness heuristics
D. Utilizing availability heuristics
Answer:
The type of thinking she was asked to engage in is:
A. Inductive reasoning
.
Explanation:
<u>When we engage in inductive reasoning, we use premises to reach a conclusion. In other words, we use data that we know to be true or false to draw possible conclusions from.</u> In inductive reasoning, there is room for error. That is, even if all the premises are true, the conclusion we reach can very well be false. In the case explained in the passage, Alanis has been asked to research the reasons behind the Great Depression. The reasons will be her premises. From them, she must draw a conclusion - how to nurture a nation's economy. However, even with the right and true premises, Alanis can still come up with ideas that wouldn't really work to nurture the economy. That is an example of inductive reasoning.

True.
Explanation:
<em>Agenda-setting theory</em> is a social science theory which attempts to make predictions regarding the influence of the media. It describes the ability of news media to influence the important topics on the public agenda.
This theory argues that the news media has a great influence on the audience by covering some news more frequently and prominently, thus making the audience think of it as more important.
Nevertheless, news media does not operate within a vacuum. Policy makers and participation of the public have an important role when it comes to the decision of what makes public priorities. Therefore the society is active in building the setting and making a causal relationship with the media which then is reshaping the agenda-setting.

Answer:
Social media is a collective term for online platforms where users provide content without or with minimal intervention from a professional editorial team, but by the pure and simple action of each user, who manages their profile according to their consideration. The main characteristics are the interaction and dialogue between users, who exchange data, files, knowledge and experiences through these means.
Thus, since the main factor of these media is social interaction, a situation may arise with positive or negative implications, depending on how said social interaction affects the user. Regarding the positive aspects, social media serve to reduce the gap of distance and time between users, allowing a more fluid communication in less time. In addition, it serves to, in cases, increase self-esteem and positive perception of oneself, through the approval that other users make of the posted content.
