Kenan Malik
Kenan Malik’s article, All the Fake News That Was Fit to Print, is an argument about fake news. He starts by giving examples of times when fake news has gotten out to the public. Then proceeds to show why fake news is a problem. Malik got his point across well and proved it. He was effective because of his use of history and use of modern day issues. He did fail in some areas as well.
Malik’s use of time was effective. In the beginning he used dates of fake news being exposed to America. He also used “in the past” and “today” to show what has happened and what is happening in news.

    Gary Nash

    In the essay written by Gary Nash, he argues that the reason for the American Revolution was not caused by the defense of constitutional rights and liberties, but that of "material conditions of life in America" were not very favorable and that social and economic factors should be considered as the driving factor that pushed many colonists to revolt. The popular ideology which can be defined as resonating "most strongly within the middle and lower strata of society and went far beyond constitutional rights to a discussion of the proper distribution of wealth and power in the social system" had a dynamic role in the decisions of many people to revolt. The masses ideas were not of constitutional rights, but the equal distribution of wealth in the colonies that many felt that the wealth was concentrated in a small percentage of the population in the colonies. The Whig ideology that was long established in English society had a main appeal towards the upper class citizens and "had little to say about changing social and economic conditions in America or the need for change in the future." The popular ideologies consisted of new ways of changing the distribution of wealth. Nash in his essay continued to give good evidence to prove his point that the American Revolution was not caused by the defense of constitutional rights and liberties, but by improper distribution of wealth. During the pre-American Revolutionary times, the "top five percent of Boston's taxpayers controlled 49 percent of the taxable assets of the community, whereas they had held only held only 30 percent in 1687." As evident by this statistic, it is clear that the wealthy were getting wealthier and controlling more of the taxable assets of the community. As the wealthy increased their assets in the cities, at the same time, a large class was "impoverished city dwellers." A huge contrast between the wealthy and the poor were forming and becoming more apparent from the beginning of the eighteenth…

Moderators did not give much importance to ask questions to him unless he interrupts others in the middle while they are making their points, and tries to justify him as a better candidate than others. The statement Chris made regarding fancies football interrupting Jeb Bush while Bush was talking to answer Quintanilla’s question was weighty enough to led debate towards matters of public and government concerns.

    Myles Horton

    Popular American educator and Civil Rights Movement activist, Myles Horton, was born at the turn of the 20th century on July 5, 1905 in Savannah, Tennessee. At the age of 19, he enrolled in Cumberland College where he served as a major catalyst for social change – leading a rebellion against the hazing of freshman by fraternal organizations. In 1927, Horton began teaching Bible classes to poor community members who lived in the mountains. It was his love for mankind and determination to manifest social change that compelled him to build a school which helped these people transform their deprived and impoverished lives. With the help of Don West, a fellow believer in Horton's ideals, he founded the Highlander Folk School in 1932 in Monteagle, Grundy County, Tennessee. The school's mission was to provide an educational center for the south which allowed poorer residents to be trained for the enrichment of the native cultural morals and ethics of the mountain people.…

    Terrorism and the Media

    News media refers to television, radio, and print journalism. It also refers to newer sources on the internet, including news, reporting services, the blogosphere, website pages, and propaganda broadcasts (White 104). Terrorism requires interdisciplinary research techniques because it involves so many aspects of the human experience, and its relationship with media have not been fully explored (White 104). Jeff Ian Ross, according to our text book, first off, believes meanings are socially created and Ross demonstrates that reporting is a part of the social construction of terrorism. Second, terrorists are aware of the power of the media and seek to manipulate their message through it. Third, while the media enhances the power of terrorism, it does not cause it.
