A tale of fictitious or real events or narrative is defined as a story. For our hungry souls, the nourishment is stories. Palatable stories exist due to these elements of truth. There are many ways to tell a story to the latest Hollywood blockbuster from classic novels written by the greatest writers and to ghost tales around a campfire from prehistoric drawings on a cave. Creating an environment in which everything is possible, the story teller is the magician. The pictures seen in the mind of the storyteller are shown and passed and for interpretation are passed to the minds of the listeners. Storytelling is all the rage in business. The persuasive effects of a story are only been able to speculate until recently. But, a serious study related to the human mind and the influences of a story in it has been begun by psychology over the last several decades. In fact, in comparison to writing, at changing beliefs fiction seems to be more effective as to persuade through evidence and arguments is the specific purpose of writing. The power of stories is finally waking up in organizations. In compare to the questionnaire and interviews based approach in organizations, the patterns of understanding, behavior and culture are revealed in a more effective way by stories. The ideation patterns of a particular organization are revealed by the stories told in an organization in all aspects of organization life, like, in project reviews and formally in presentations. The recognition of a possible work is integral to the evolution of a different and new world. However, potentiality for such a world is continuously claimed by the status quo. To bind us to this world, different truths are used by the status quo. The Telos of life is supposedly the survival. Therefore, a cosmology is required by any threat to the status quo so that a path and a view of a different world are provided to us for realizing this world. I believe that this cosmology is given to us by considering narrative as a way of being in the world as it fundamentally alters out relation to our own humanity, our relation to others and our relation to the world. The condition of our humanity is intertwined with the condition of the world by it. In total, a compelling narrative is derived by this emergent view of narrative as the realms of possibilities are enlarged by it.

Dividing people by race. Five quoted passages. Five outside sources.

In my opinion media is an extremely powerful tool which can be used to change people's opinions regarding issues. The effectiveness of media generally depends on how we use it. The two stories that I have been given to choose from as a news director are on completely diverse subjects. Both of the stories hold relevance to the society. The one about the celebrity death holds people's interest while enlightening the public about the park story is crucial to the interest of the public. I believe in today's world, media ratings have become the most important part. Channels don't show news items for public welfare rather they concentrate on stories that make higher profits for them. This has led to increased mistrust of media in people's mind (Daily Source Org, 2005-2012). Keeping in mind the current media landscape I would choose to air the park story as my lead story.

Wal-Mart, thanks to its size and power, can purchase goods at a deep discount, and thanks to its business model and employment policies can sell more cheaply than most other outlets. The effect of this is to lower prices at other nearby stores. However, there is growing speculation that Wal-Mart is actively pursuing a course of business that, while they overtly claim, is helping low income families, is in reality harming them by endeavoring to drive any competition that might offer its employees a decent wage out of business.
