This, however, deprives the Americans of their right to be informed. Is it not better to let the American masses know of the current situation so that they can prepare themselves for anything that may happen? or, what if there are geniuses out there who have the capability, skills, and intelligence needed to help the government. But because they are not well informed on the current events, they are unable to contribute to their nation.
Sound bite news, particularly on critical subjects such as terrorism, can similarly destroy the American history and may affect the knowledge in history of the future American generations because the generations before them are incapable of telling the past events in a deeper level of context. This problem is presently apparent in schools wherein students are unable to demonstrate good knowledge or provide sensible reactions concerning the current events around them because the media where they are supposed to learn do not provide sufficient information.

In view of Thumim's claims, it is possible to conclude that a nation of devalued women -- 'put down' on television sitcoms for more than a decade -- were

American National Character (history) The Ongoing Search for an "American National Character" This assignment asks the following pertinent and challenging questions: Is it possible to find trends amongst so much diversity? What characteristics are distinctly American, regardless of class, race, and background? What is problematic about making these generalizations and inheriting the culture? What have we inherited exactly? What problems arise with our ideals - and are we being honest with ourselves?
" Meanwhile, "False Balancing" is where "both sides are seldom accorded equal prominence," Parenti asserts. As an example of this tendency, Parenti writes that when it comes to a conservative issue, NPR (National Public Radio), perceived as a liberal institution, interviews a "right wing spokesperson" alone. But when it's a liberal issue being discussed, NPR has a liberal and a conservative on together. Endorsement / Disparagement: Some media use "labels" like "the

American Cynicism The Vietnam War represented a series of first, all of them seismically changing and affecting the United States in terms of how it wages wars and the outcomes garnered as a result.
