      It has almost no impact on my studies and academic performance. Some times my grades might drop a little due to the stress but not much.

    1. writers must use three types of proofs, or rhetorical appeals. They are logos, or logical appeal; pathos, or emotional appeal; and ethos, or ethical appeal, or appeal based on the character and credibility of the author

      This introduces the main rhetorical appeals used to persuade an audience.

    2. All writing (or speaking) that is persuasive comes from a source of urgency or EXIGENCE

      This shows that persuasion happens because there is a need or problem that requires action.

    3. The three most basic, yet important components of a rhetorical situation are: The purpose of writing or rhetorical aim (the goal the writer is trying to achieve or argument the writer is trying to make) The intended audience The writer/speaker

      This explains the foundational elements writers must consider to communicate effectively.

    4. Appeal to logic

      Logos and kairos appeal to the logic and timeliness to a topic. These two rhetorical appeals are about how and why something makes sense and fits into the real world.

    5. note that the term “rhetoric” also is used to mean someone speaking bombastic thoughts that are empty of meaning End of Light Yellow comment.

      Rhetoric has different meaning and connotations. Focusing on the effective communication meaning.

    6. The purpose of writing or rhetorical aim (the goal the writer is trying to achieve or argument the writer is trying to make) The intended audience The writer/speaker

      All three elements used to create a situation where rhetoric is understandable.

    7. Pathos can best be described as the use of emotional appeal to sway another's opinion in a rhetorical argument. Emotion itself should require no definition, but it should be noted that effective 'pathetic' appeal (the use of pathos) is often used in ways that can cause anger or sorrow in the minds and hearts of the audience. Pathos is often the rhetorical vehicle of public service announcements. A number of anti-smoking and passive smoking related commercials use pathos heavily. One of the more memorable videos shows an elderly man rising from the couch to meet his young grandson who, followed by his mother, is taking his first steps toward the grandfather. As the old man coaxes the young child forward, the grandfather begins to disappear. As the child walks through him the mother says "I wish your grandpa could see you now." The audience is left to assume that the grandfather has died, as the voice-over informs us that cigarette smoke kills so many people a year, with a closing statement, "be there for the ones you love." This commercial uses powerful words (like "love") and images to get at the emotions of the viewer, encouraging them to quit smoking. The goal is for the audience to become so "enlightened" and emotionally moved that the smoking viewers will never touch another cigarette.

      Pathos appeals to emotions such as sadness, fear, or happiness. Writers use pathos to help the audience emotionally connect to the message and feel motivated to respond.

    8. Logos is most easily defined as the logical appeal of an argument. Say that you are writing a paper on COVID-19 and you say "COVID-19 is just like the flu, so we should take the same measures as the flu." This statement is illogical because the virus itself, it's characteristics, and the overall situation is not like that of the flu. The statement has an illogical comparison. The COVID-19 virus is in a different family of viruses (corona viruses) than are the various influenza viruses, such as H1N1. COVID-19 displays a wide variety of symptoms (or no symptoms) and is much more contagious precisely because it can be transmitted without any symptoms. In addition, we have immunizations against the flu virus, which we do not yet have for the COVID-19 virus.

      Logos focuses on logic, facts, and reasoning. Using evidence and clear explanations helps make an argument more convincing and reasonable to the audience.

    9. Ethos can be seen as the credibility that authors, writers, and speakers have when they present themselves in front of an audience. If, on the first day of class, your professor walked in, kind of bent over and looking like they had been out all night and picking their nose, how would you perceive that instructor? What would your view of the class he takes be? How confident would you be that this person knows what they are talking about?

      Ethos is about credibility and trust. If the audience believes the writer is knowledgeable and trustworthy, they are more likely to accept the argument being made.

    10. The three most basic, yet important components of a rhetorical situation are: The purpose of writing or rhetorical aim (the goal the writer is trying to achieve or argument the writer is trying to make) The intended audience The writer/speaker

      A rhetorical situation includes the writer, the audience, and the purpose. All three must work together for communication to be effective, and changing one affects how the message is understood.

    11. RHETORIC is the art of persuasion.

      Rhetoric is about persuading an audience through writing or speaking. This shows that communication is not just about sharing information, but about influencing how people think or act.

    12. Good writers write to win. As such, rhetorical appeals underlie much of the successful persuasive writing in society, whether in the form of written arguments, television commercials, or educational campaigns. As previously discussed, some thoughtful, strategic anti-smoking campaigns have reduced smoking-related diseases and death. Additionally, Ariel Chernin, advertising researcher, observes that a large body of literature proves that food marketing affects children’s food preferences. Similarly, appealing to logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos in your persuasive writing can help you achieve your goals. Approaching rhetorical appeals from the inside out—from the perspective of the writer—one can note their effectiveness in persuasive writing, and one can write to win.

      I want to win and become a good writer and make people want to dig deeper into my stories and even have a bit of humor at the right times.

    13. Writers may employ several methods to appeal to pathos. Read “Pathos” to explore several suggestions which include: Referring to other emotionally compelling stories. Citing stark, startling statistics that will invoke a specific emotion in audience members. Showing empathy and/or understanding for an opposing view. Using humor, if appropriate.

      I like this idea because it makes the reader want to dive deeper into the story and make it actually interesting.

    14. Often times ads for medical products or even chewing gum might say that four out of five doctors/dentists recommend a certain product. Some commercials may even show a doctor in a white lab coat approving whatever is for sale. Now, provided that the person you are viewing is an actual doctor, this might be an example of a good ethos argument. On the other hand, if an automotive company uses a famous sports figure to endorse a product, we might wonder what that person knows about this product. The campaign and celebrity are not being used to inform the consumer, but rather to catch their attention with what is actually a faulty example of ethos.

      I never knew this. Now i want to pay attention to more commercials and see if its good ethos.

    15. Every time we write, we engage in debate or argument. Through writing and speaking, we try to persuade and influence our readers, either directly or indirectly. We work to get them to change their minds, to do something, or to begin thinking in new ways. Put simply, to be effective, every writer needs to know, and be able to use, principles of rhetoric.

      I like how this is kind of an intro or a little definition to make the rest of this article easier to read.

    16. concern

      Knowing your audience and speaking to their concerns is absolutely critical. This can then help to shape the other appeals you use in order to maximize their impact on your audience.

    17. timeliness

      This is a very important factor as it ensures that your argument is heard at the most effective time. This helps to massively boost how receptive ones audience is to hearing your argument and message.

    18. logic

      Logos is probably the most effective tool as it cites logic, statistics, and facts. This creates a mountain of evidence for one's own position which helps strengthen your argument.

    19. emotion

      Pathos is a very effective tool though it is more powerful on some people than it is on others. Additionally one must be careful that they use it to achieve the intended effect and not create side effects.

    20. credibility

      Ethos can simultaneously be very powerful and very dangerous. If one overuses it then it can actually make them seem less credible as they are relying solely upon their position for credibility.

    1. Studying regional anatomy helps us appreciate the interrelationships of body structures, such as how muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and other structures work together to serve a particular body region.

    1. Generate MACCS keys from SMILES.

      @hychem95 @ebucholtz

      I had saved df_activity as a csv and thought we should be getting smiles for that and not df, but maybe I misunderstood something, and we converted df to that after we had removed inconclusives, and the difference is not the size, but this has 0s and 1s. So I think we could have used either.

      BUT, when I look at the csv I am seeing salts.

      I am seeing two strategies, remove the salts, or just keep the largest fragement. Do you have input?

    2. Now we want to get structure information of the compounds from PubChem (in isomeric SMILES). In [27]:

      @hychem95 I am going through Ehren's notebook but can't comment on it as it is not in a jupyter book, but can here. Why are we doing this cids = df.cid.astype(int).tolist()

      Shouldn't we be doing this? cids = df_activity.cid.astype(int).tolist()

    1. Instead, I'm going to ask you to read the Wikipedia entry on Information Privilege, which is well-written and researched and actually includes information from the paper I referenced above.

      The article linked, talks about how many people do not have access to information. Information can be behind a paywall, or maybe the person lives in a place where they do not physically or financially have access to the internet.

    1. heavy exposure to media causes individuals to develop—or cultivate—an illusory perception of reality based on the most repetitive and consistent messages of a particular medium.

      Heavy exposure to media causes people to develop a distorted view of reality. Watching a lot of TV shows, news, or scrolling through social media can make the world feel much more dangerous than it actually is. Constant reports of crime, disasters, or dramatic events can create a false sense of threat, even when our daily lives might be generally safe. Media is powerful in shaping our perception of reality. Therefore, it's important to step back and think critically to separate what we are seeing on screen from what's actually happening in the world around us.

    2. he pervasiveness of these formats means that our culture uses the style and content of these shows as ways to interpret reality. For example, think about a TV news program that frequently shows heated debates between opposing sides on public policy issues. This style of debate has become a template for handling disagreement to those who consistently watch this type of program.

      This passage explains that when we watch certain media styles over and over, we start using them to understand real life. If a news show always shows loud, heated arguments, viewers may think that’s the “normal” way to handle disagreements. Media formats can quietly shape how people act and communicate.

    3. As minority opinions are silenced, the illusion of consensus grows, and so does social pressure to adopt the dominant position. This creates a self-propagating loop in which minority voices are reduced to a minimum and perceived popular opinion sides wholly with the majority opinion. For example, prior to and during World War II, many Germans opposed Adolf Hitler and his policies; however, they kept their opposition silent out of fear of isolation and stigma.

      This says that when people with minority opinions stay quiet, it starts to look like everyone agrees with the majority. That makes even more people stay silent, creating a cycle where only one viewpoint is visible. The example of Germany during World War II shows how fear and pressure can stop people from speaking up, even when many disagree.

    4. he issues that receive the most attention from media become the issues that the public discusses,

      The media is powerful in shaping what we think about. Even if they don't tell us what to believe, they definitely still influence what's on our radar. Many of the public start speaking out and forming opinions on topics that are trending or being covered the most. People start reacting when something is everywhere.

    5. assumed that audiences passively accepted media messages and would exhibit predictable reactions in response to those messages.

      This makes it clear how much early researchers underestimated people. They essentially assumed that everyone would simply accept whatever the media told them. This is something we still hear today, as evidenced by people blaming social media for influencing teens to think or act in a certain way. However, most people aren't like that. They question and interpret things when forming an understanding of them. Most times, we actually push back more than we absorb.

    1. For example, some of the greatest sources of joy involve falling in love, starting a family, being reunited with distant loved ones, and sharing experiences with close others.

      An example of attachment.

    1. Elena and Cam met through friends when they were in their early twenties. Elena had been out of college for two years and worked in the city procurement office; she took graduate classes in operations management, but she’d need a few more years to finish her Master’s. Cam had received extensive computing training while in the Navy, and was a database architect at an insurance company.In their first few years of dating, the idea of marriage came up mostly through other people. Friends’ weddings seemed like monthly events, and “who’s next?” small talk was unavoidable. Elena’s grandmother and aunts added to the chorus; they talked about their home country, where women were married with a couple of children by the time they reached Elena’s age. (Elena often pointed out that they were wrong, and the average age of marriage had been climbing for decades.) These pressures were pretty minor at first. They came in the form of jokes, wedding dress texts, and the occasional insult about Cam’s salary. But every once in a while someone would sit Elena down for a serious talk, or corner Cam while he was at a family gathering.Most of Elena’s family predicted that things would change when she earned her graduate degree and could “focus on her family.” Things did change; Elena became compliance officer for the office of city services, resulting in almost a ten percent increase in her salary. Cam became a supervisor three months later. They moved out of their apartment, which was in Cam’s mother’s garage, and into their own place downtown. They were happy. They were committed to each other. They didn’t get married.Five years later, Elena and Cam were still living downtown, but they’d traded their rental for a condo. Aside from work, they co-founded a nonprofit where Elena taught financial literacy and Cam ran computing boot camps for recent immigrants and refugees. Maybe it was the hundreds of children they met through the organization, or maybe it was seeing their friends’ kids, or maybe it was being in her thirties, but Elena realized she wanted to be a mother. They started the adoption process, and eighteen months later welcomed a young girl who had been born in another country.When did Elena and Cam become a family? Was it when they moved in together? When they adopted the child? Does their not being married matter?

      The pressure Elena receives from her relatives shows how cultural norms strongly shape the expectations around marriage and family. It made me think about what different cultures defined as the right age to marry or have children.

    1. Single-parent households are on the rise. In 2017, 32 percent of children lived with a single parent only, up from 25 percent in 2008. Of that 32 percent, 21 percent live with their mother. Four percent live with their father, which is a percentage that is growing in share; in 1968, for example, only one percent of children lived with a solo father, and three percent lived with a solo father in 2008 (Livingston 2018)

      Do you see the huge increase between children that live with their mother rather than children that live with their father how does it go from 21% to 4%! Men need to start being Held accountable and not congratulated just for the little stuff that they do when there’s way more to the job.

    2. About 16 percent of children are living in blended families, those with step parents and/or step-siblings. This number has remained relatively stable since the 1980s when the Census Bureau began reliably measuring it. Four percent of children live in families with couples who are not married. (That number is partially composed of parents in same-sex relationships who were previously prohibited from getting married.)

      I actually come from a single parent household, but When I turned about 11, my family turned into a blended family. When I was 11, it was about 2017 So I am the statistic!

    3. The combination of husband, wife, and children that 99.8 percent of people in the United States believe constitutes a family is not representative of 99.8 percent of U.S. families. According to 2010 census data, only 66 percent of children under seventeen years old live in a household with two married parents. This is a decrease from 77 percent in 1980 (U.S. Census 2011). This two-parent family structure is known as a nuclear family, referring to married parents and children as the nucleus, or core, of the group. Recent years have seen a rise in variations of the nuclear family with the parents not being married. Three percent of children live with two cohabiting parents (U.S. Census 2011).

      I feel like thisall has to do with The decline in marriage. When you’re married, you can’t just Up and leave. You have to reconsider and try to work things out because to get divorced is way harder than to just break up.

    4. Many couples view cohabitation as a “trial run” for marriage.

      I think cohabitation is a good way to learn how to live with your partner, get to know them a little and test's their relationship and boundaries. But I don't believe that it can be a significant factor in a succesful marriage. Marriage truly gets tested when other factors have to be taken into consideration such as kids or sickness, maybe loss.

    5. he causes range from parental mental health issues, drug use, or incarceration, as well as physical or sexual abuse of the children by the parent, or abandonment by the parent.

      I think it's so sad how often parents lack the ability to care for themselves to the point where they have no other choice but to abandon their own child or children. It's sad that people aren't as careful and aware of what consequences they will face when being immature. And the cost of that is going to be a future traumatized and broken child because that child will always know neglect and abandonment.

    6. only 66 percent of children under seventeen years old live in a household with two married parents.

      Im not suprised by this stat. And with that 10 percent decrease from 1980, I feel like in today's world the decrease is going to get significantly worse. I feel like the economic and political state of the world plays a role in that but also what the societal standards are now, especially for young adults.

    7. Researchers found that the person with the most access to value resources held the most power

      This can be a really dangerous thing for marriages, but for couples in general who live with each other. If one person revolves their value around their successes and achievements, there will be a power trip. This may be even more dangerous when children are involved and the cost of that power because anger and rage when things go wrong.

    1. With single parenting and cohabitation (when a couple shares a residence but not a marriage) becoming more acceptable in recent years, people may be less motivated to get married. In a recent survey, 39 percent of respondents answered “yes” when asked whether marriage is becoming obsolete (Pew Research Center 2010). The institution of marriage is likely to continue, but some previous patterns of marriage will become outdated as new patterns emerge. In this context, cohabitation contributes to the phenomenon of people getting married for the first time at a later age than was typical in earlier generations (Glezer 1991). Furthermore, marriage will continue to be delayed as more people place education and career ahead of “settling down.”

      The people that are just OK with cohabitation rather than marriage surprise me but then it makes sense when we get to the next Section and they talk about one partner or many. The reason why more people are OK with cohabitation is because it’s less commitment rather than actually proposing a marriage, people want to still feel like they have the option to leave.(so they don’t feel trapped) It’s like they’re afraid of not having freedom or just afraid of the commitment in general.

    2. The study also revealed that 60 percent of U.S. respondents agreed that if you consider yourself a family, you are a family (a concept that reinforces an interactionist perspective) (Powell 2010). The government, however, is not so flexible in its definition of “family.” The U.S. Census Bureau defines a family as “a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together” (U.S. Census Bureau 2010). While this structured definition can be used as a means to consistently track family-related patterns over several years, it excludes individuals such as cohabitating unmarried couples. Legality aside, sociologists would argue that the general concept of family is more diverse and less structured than in years past. Society has given more leeway to the design of a family making room for what works for its members (Jayson 2010).

      I like how the bureau is basically telling us that the definition of family has shifted overtime to something much brighter than just husband, wife and child. Being family is about an emotional connection, shared, living and economic cooperation. Rather than just the institutional structure

    3. t means that nearly every child in most parts of America is either in or is close to a family that is not headed by a married couple.

      I feel like I've met more people that only live with one parent, divorced or never married at all. I am one of those people so every time I share mutual circumstances with other's, it makes me feel less lonely.

    1. stereoisomers (also known as optical isomers)

      Many things are incorrect. Earlier, it's stated that stereoisomers are geometric isomers. Additionally, the visuals are not helpful.

    1. They’re not afraid to make mistakes (own them even), and they know that struggle can be a rewarding part of the process. By equal measure, mature learners celebrate their strengths and use them strategically.

      The author explains that reflection, looking back at past experiences and noticing how your thinking has evolved is important in this process.

    2. By adopting a reflective position, they can pinpoint areas that work well and areas that require further help—and all of this without losing sight of their goals.

      This passage explains how becoming a strong writer is about producing good work and understanding your growth.

    1. goups of atoms that exhibit a chaacteistic eactivity. A paticulafunctional goup will almost always display its distinctive chemical behaviowhen it is pesent in a compound. Because of theiimpotance in undestanding oganic chemisty, functional goups have specific names that often cay ovein the naming of individual compounds incopoating the goups.

      If you download the pdf, it's a lot better.

    1. For example, sociologists Feagin and Parker (1990) suggested three factors by which political and economic leaders control urban growth. First, these leaders work alongside each other to influence urban growth and decline, determining where money flows and how land use is regulated.

      Leaders need to do a better job of choosing and acting on where the money flows. They need to do a better job of taking all these factors, statistics and logistic about where exactly our planet is right now and focus on how we can make it better but building things that will actually benefit the quality of life that doesn't just revolve around money.

    2. As cities grew more crowded, and often more impoverished and costly, more and more people began to migrate back out of them. But instead of returning to rural small towns (like they’d resided in before moving to the city), these people needed close access to the cities for their jobs. In the 1850s, as the urban population greatly expanded and transportation options improved, suburbs developed.

      To tie back to what I said about the government expanding money to places that need polishing, maybe the government also needs to start using that money to expand in job availability and creation. Job's that will take into consideration different circumstances the people who are jobless need. Maybe they dont have a college degree, lived in low income places that never had the best education?

    3. there are three prerequisites for the development of a city: First, good environment with fresh water and a favorable climate; second, advanced technology, which will produce a food surplus to support nonfarmers; and third, strong social organization to ensure social stability and a stable economy.

      I think the government of each state needs to do a better job in expanding and spreading out money to polish and better cities and places who truly need the polishing. It's always the higher income places and nicer places that get all the money and that's a problem that needs to get fixed.

    1. While you might be more familiar with the phrase “global warming,” climate change is the term now used to refer to long-term shifts in temperatures due to human activity and, in particular, the release of greenhouse gases into the environment. The planet as a whole is warming, but the term climate change acknowledges that the short-term variations in this process can include both higher and lower temperatures, despite the overarching trend toward warmth.

      I think people should stop the controversy about climate change as it is quite literally a serious and real thing. As a result of poorly taking care of our planet and being so hyper focused on building for capitalism, people should be more scared.

    1. Can our planet sustain such a population? We generate more trash than ever, from Starbucks cups to obsolete cell phones containing toxic chemicals to food waste that could be composted. You may be unaware of where your trash ends up. And while this problem exists worldwide, trash issues are often more acute in urban areas. Cities and city living create new challenges for both society and the environment that make interactions between people and places of critical importance.

      I feel like the society right now is pretty incapable of not litering, trashing and taking care of our environment. Everyone's become so blinded from taking care of our planet, becoming more materialistic and careless of how we move throughout everyday life.

    1. When looking at the social epidemiology of the United States, it is hard to miss the disparities among races. The discrepancy between Black and White Americans shows the gap clearly; in 2018, the average life expectancy for White males was approximately five years longer than for Black males: 78.8 compared to 74.7 (Wamsley 2021). (Note that in 2020 life expectancies of all races declined further, though the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic was a significant cause.) Other indicates show a similar disparity. The 2018 infant mortality rates for different races and ethnicities are as follows:

      It's extremely saddening that we still have to face the fact that race and class can still dictate what kind of care each person recieves and to what extent. racial inequalities in health care need to be punished and discussed.

    1. The most frequent causes of death in children under five years old are pneumonia, diarrhea, congenital anomalies, preterm birth complications, birth asphyxia/trauma, and malaria, all of which can be prevented or treated with affordable interventions including immunization, adequate nutrition, safe water and food and quality care by a trained health provider when needed.

      The fact the not only low-income adults have to go through struggling to get medical help but also newborns and children have to face the consequences of not being able to get care of them as well. Again, this has to be a problem fixed and we need to be discussing these issues more often.

    2. Obesity, which is on the rise in high-income nations, has been linked to many diseases, including cardiovascular problems, musculoskeletal problems, diabetes, and respiratory issues.

      I find it so interesting that the highest-income countries have the highest rate of obesity, health problems, diseases and etc. These people may have unhealthy working conditions when it comes to the amount of time being overworked, but they also don't lack the money to buy quality foods, a gym membership and any resources that require caring for one's health.

    3. These epidemiological studies show that the health problems of high-income nations differ from those of low-income nations, but also that diseases and their diagnosis are changing.

      I think this is a significant problem in our society right now, the power imbalance of having the high-income nations having more resources and access to help and medical health. And those who aren't of high-income families end up getting the short end of the stick when it comes to receiving medical help because they don't have enough to get help. This is a serious matter that has to get fixed.

    1. o now, after the height of the coronavirus pandemic, what does “health” mean to you?

      I dont feel like my perception of health has changed, even after the corona virus. Most of the individuals that were affected by this and unfortunately passed away because of it were elders with already existing medical problems. The pandemic caused a strain on those problems and faced the consequences. But even now, people still need to be wary of what they have and how they take care of themselves, especially around elders who are already facing illness. It's as simple as being careful with your health and to take into consideration who you risk around you if you dont.

    2. conflicting messages about mask wearing and social distancing became political weapons amid the country's Presidential election, and localized outbreaks and spikes of deaths were continually traced to gatherings that occurred against scientific guidance.

      I feel like the communication towards protocols such as wearing mask, staying 6 feet away and etc we're all not taken into consideration carefully enough and precisely. There were still so many people who failed to obey these rules and were not punished for it.

    1. Research suggests that while marital conflict does not provide an ideal childrearing environment, going through a divorce can be damaging

      I think this depends how just how broken a marriage is and if it really is due for a divorce. I know many people who face relief when their parent's finally split because they dont need to deal with endless conflict and stress. Yes, no one wants their parents to split but I feel like that's not the kids place to choose in the relationship.

    1. algae

      Its interesting to me that algae is the largest producer of oxygen on the planet, but in order for it to survive in rural areas, it harms the water, making it a trade off of one necessary resource for another

    1. Don’t procrastinate. Avoid taking shortcuts. Take thorough notes and keep accurate records. Rephrase ideas in your own words. Provide citations or attributions for all sources. Ask your instructor when in doubt

      There are several resources online that guide students on properly citing sources and how to paraphrase or summarize information.

    1. As a result of this restructuring, certain stories may get distributed, replayed, and commented on almost excessively, while other stories go unnoticed and in-depth coverage that would unearth more facts and context gets neglected.

      I believe I mentioned this in an earlier annotation. This issue feels even more prevalent today, though I don't know if that is true or not.

    2. Moreover, many subscribers to print newspapers and magazines are canceling their subscriptions because they can get more current information online at no cost

      Cost of living consistently rising is also something to factor in when considering people's expectation for free information.

    3. All of that changed, however, in 1963 with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. CBS correspondent Dan Rather took television audiences live to “the corner window just below the top floor, where the assassin stuck out his 30 caliber rifle,” and for the first time, people were able to see an event nearly as it occurred.

      Now, it is basically an expectation that whenever a major event occurs that news outlets provide immediate coverage.

    1. Still others have criticized journalists and reporters for a tendency toward reductive presentations of complex issues involving minorities, such as the religious and racial tensions fueled by the September 11 attacks. By reducing these conflicts to “opposing frames”—that is, by oversimplifying them as two-sided struggles so that they can be quickly and easily understood—the news media helped create a greater sense of separation between Islamic Americans and the dominant culture after September 11

      This is a great example.

    1. Many argue that because celebrities are “public figures,” the same privacy rights that protect the general public don’t apply.

      My opinion is that celebrities don't owe people the details of their personal lives. While there is an invitation for parasocial behavior due to the nature of being a public figure, they still have a right to privacy.

    1. it seeks to make money from whatever cultural elements it can throughout the world.

      If the definition of imperialism is the way one country asserts power over other countries, are endeavors to influence culture or profit from culture attempts to gain power?

    1. On the most basic level, much of media is language and culture based and, as such, does not necessarily translate well to foreign countries. Thus, media globalization often occurs on a more structural level, following broader “ways of organizing and creating media

      In her TedTalk "The Danger of the Single Story", Chimamanda Adichie shares how during her childhood, the language and content of the books, which were in English and centered American and British characters, she read had a massive influence on her. How will globalization impact people as we become more intertwined through our economies and the internet?

    1. “Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States … shall be deemed guilty of a felony

      It is interesting to learn about how these laws came to exist.

    1. As information and media move online, those without ready access to the Internet are increasingly being left behind.

      This issue was highlighted during the pandemic, when students were forced to rely on technology to go to school. Sone students and families didn't have access to technology while others didn't have reliable internet.

    1. This business has proven extremely productive; the bulk of Google’s revenue comes from advertising even as it gives away services such as email and document sharing

      How can we say that Google is "giving away these services" when they are selling out time and attention to the companies that advertise with google AdSense?

    1. Universal is owned by NBC, which was in turn owned by GE and now Comcast; Sony Music is owned by the eponymous Japanese technology giant; Warner Music Group, although now its own entity, was previously under the umbrella of Time Warner; and the EMI Group is owned by a private investment firm.

      The legacy of GE is so sad and a prime example of the failure of conglomerates. Jack Welch drove General Electric into the ground, failing its workers and customers.

    2. The book publishing industry is basically an oligopoly; the top 10 trade publishers made up 72 percent of the total market in 2009, with the top five alone comprising 58 percent of this

      I didn't realize that this is how the publishing industry operates! I wonder what the stats are today.

    1. In the third quarter of 2008, the average American watched 142 hours of television per month, an increase of five hours per month from the same quarter the previous year. Internet use averaged 27 hours per month, an increase of an hour and a half between 2007 and 2008.

      According to globalstatistic.com, "people now spend more than twice as long using the internet daily as they do watching television. However, this comparison becomes more complex when considering that streaming TV shows and movies account for a significant portion of daily internet time, and over 30% of users access connected content through their TV sets, blurring the traditional boundaries between these media formats". It is interesting seeing how the internet and TV have coevolved, especially post pandemic.

    2. were allowed to encrypt their satellite feeds so that only people who purchased a decoder from a satellite provider could receive the channel.

      I'm curious what would have happened if the 1984 Cable Act hadn't been successful. Would "open skies" policies be more commonplace and the rights of consumers prioritized?

    1. Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) developed out of a report by the Carnegie Commission on Educational Television, which examined the role of educational, noncommercial television on society. The report recommended that the government finance public television in order to provide diversity of programming during the network era—a service created “not to sell products” but to “enhance citizenship and public service.”

      I believe that PBS plays a very important role in providing educational content. I learned so much from PBS programs as a child.

    1. With the outbreak of World War II, many companies, including RCA and General Electric, turned their attention to military production. Instead of commercial television sets, they began to churn out military electronic equipment. In addition, the war halted nearly all television broadcasting; many television stations reduced their schedules to around 4 hours per week or went off the air altogether.

      Many new technological advancements are a direct product of or inspired by products made for the military, for example food and clothes.

    2. Formerly known as Community Antenna Television, or CATV, cable television was originally developed in the 1940s in remote or mountainous areas, including in Arkansas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, to enhance poor reception of regular television signals. Cable antennas were erected on mountains or other high points, and homes connected to the towers would receive broadcast signals.

      Access to technology can expand or limit a person's ability to engage with media and culture.

    1. Media studies involving violence, pornography, and profanity are inherently politically charged, and politicians have also conducted their own media studies

      Everything is political. We all have biases.

    2. coverage, which leads to the debate over media bias

      Media coverage can influence public knowledge and opinion about a subject, event, or individual. Some stories go unnoticed because there is little coverage while others become over saturated.

    1. Media research methods are the practical procedures for carrying out a research project. These methods include content analysis, surveys, focus groups, experiments, and participant observation. Research methods generally involve either test subjects or analysis of media. Methods involving test subjects include surveys, depth interviews, focus groups, and experiments. Analysis of media can include content, style, format, social roles, and archival analysis.

      These forms of methodology can be very useful for learning how media influences culture and behavior.

    1. Other researchers admit that individuals prone to violent acts are indeed drawn to violent media; however, they claim that by keeping these individuals in a movie theater or at home, violent media have actually contributed to a reduction in violent social acts.

      It is important to understand the connection between violent media and real-world violent behavior. It makes sense that video games may be affecting people's emotions and thoughts, but there is likely another factor in a situation like the Columbine shooting.

    2. propaganda is not inherently good or bad. Whether propaganda has a positive or negative effect on society and culture depends on the motivations of those who use it and the understandings of those who receive it.

      Social media has been used by governments, organizations, and individuals as a platform to share and spread propaganda.

    1. Ads might appeal to vanity, insecurity, prejudice, fear, or the desire for adventure.

      As I mentioned in a previous annotation, the constant stream of ads has affected many people's self-image. How should people feel if they are constantly shown people who don't look like them, trying to sell them a product that will supposedly make them happier or solve some problem? In our current technological landscape, people, or rather their data, have become the product.

    1. If culture is the expressed and shared values, attitudes, beliefs, and practices of a social group, organization, or institution, then what is popular culture? Popular culture is the media, products, and attitudes considered to be part of the mainstream of a given culture and the everyday life of common people. It is often distinct from more formal conceptions of culture that take into account moral, social, religious beliefs and values, such as our earlier definition of culture.

      Is popular culture actually distinct from moral, social, and religious beliefs? When all of those shape popular culture, the two can't truly be separated. For example, there are a multitude of books, songs, films, and other media that urge the importance and necessity of marriage. These ideas are ingrained into people's minds from a young age and will likely influence them as adults who will go on to create new pop culture media.

    1. Cultural imperialism can be a formal policy or can happen more subtly, as with the spread of outside influence through television, movies, and other cultural projects.

      This makes me think of how U.S. territories often us the names of U.S. presidents or states for roads names or currency. One could argue this is a form of cultural imperialism.

    1. The medium was able to downplay regional differences and encourage a unified sense of the American lifestyle—a lifestyle that was increasingly driven and defined by consumer purchases. “Americans in the 1920s were the first to wear ready-made, exact-size clothing…to play electric phonographs, to use electric vacuum cleaners, to listen to commercial radio broadcasts, and to drink fresh orange juice year round.”Digital History, “The Formation of Modern American Mass Culture,” The Jazz Age: The American 1920s, 2007, www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/dat...y.cfm?hhid=454(accessed July 15, 2010). This boom in consumerism put its stamp on the 1920s, and, ironically, helped contribute to the Great Depression of the 1930s.

      This is true for certain demographics, but it can't be understated how consumer culture has become synonymous with American culture.

    2. An early advertising consultant claimed that the early days of radio were “a glorious opportunity for the advertising man to spread his sales propaganda” thanks to “a countless audience, sympathetic, pleasure seeking, enthusiastic, curious, interested, approachable in the privacy of their homes.

      This intrusion of advertisements in the home was only a precursor to our modern word, where ads are plastered over bus stops, grocery stores, entire buildings, and endless notification in our phones. I grew up in a word where I was always being advertised something, and it can be hard to imagine what it must have been like before.

    1. However, during the 19th century, several crucial inventions—the internal combustion engine, steam-powered ships, and railways, among others—led to other innovations across various industries. Suddenly, steam power and machine tools meant that production increased dramatically. But some of the biggest changes coming out of the Industrial Revolution were social in character. An economy based on manufacturing instead of agriculture meant that more people moved to cities, where techniques of mass production led to an emphasis on efficiency both in and out of the factory. Newly urbanized factory laborers no longer had the skill or time to produce their own food, clothing, or supplies and instead turned to consumer goods. Increased production led to increases in wealth, though income inequalities between classes also started to grow as well. Increased wealth and nonrural lifestyles led to the development of entertainment industries.

      Industrialization has forever changed our world. The advancements in technology and changes to labor that resulted from the industrial revolution changed the production and spread of mass media.

    1. Ever since Kennedy, American presidential hopefuls have had to be increasingly television-ready and media savvy. Indeed, evolving technology has helped change what the American public wants out of its leaders.

      Technology has changed what people expect of elected officials. Perhaps this is why many elected officials came to power from personality cults.

    2. So mass mediarefers to those means of transmission that are designed to reach a wide audience. Mass media are commonly considered to include radio, film, newspapers, magazines, books, and video games, as well as Internet blogs, podcasts, and video sharing.

      The webster definition of transmission is to "to send or convey from one person or place to another" or "to cause or allow to spread".

    1. He said that the media themselves were far more important than any content they carried.

      The argument that form is more important than the message is interesting. Considering that the type of media impacts how an idea is presented and controls the way the viewer/reader/audience can engage with the content, it makes sense McLuhan would believe this claim.

    1. There are three major diversification strategies: (1) concentric diversification, where the new business produces products that are technically similar to the company’s current product but that appeal to a new consumer group; (2) horizontal diversification, where the new business produces products that are totally unrelated to the company’s current product but that appeal to the same consumer group; and (3) conglomerate diversification, where the new business produces products that are totally unrelated to the company’s current product and that appeal to an entirely new consumer group.

      Diversification Methods

    1. __________________________________________________________________

      You already know that studying full-time helps you finish faster but takes more money and time, while part-time or online classes are easier to balance but take longer. You also know that starting a family now may make school harder, and waiting could give you more stability. What you still need to know includes the exact cost of a four-year program, your financial aid options, how much a degree improves job opportunities, and how your work schedule can change. You can get this information by talking to your college adviser, checking financial aid offices, researching game-design careers, and discussing schedules with your wife. The pros of continuing school are better skills, more career options, and long-term growth; the cons are higher cost, more stress, and less free time. The pros of delaying school are more stability and less pressure, while the cons are slower career progress and fewer opportunities in the short term.

    2. __________________________________________________________________

      You have several good options for each part of the problem. For money, you could use financial aid or wait until you save more. For time, you could study part-time or full-time. To balance work and school, you could change your work hours or take fewer classes. For starting a family, you could begin now and move through school slowly, or wait until after you finish your degree. For your career, you could get the four-year degree for more skills, or learn through online courses and personal projects instead.

    3. __________________________________________________________________

      Here’s a small, clear paragraph:

      The problem can be broken into a few manageable parts: figuring out the financial impact of continuing your education, understanding the time commitment needed for a four-year degree, determining how school will fit with your work and your wife’s schedule, considering how starting a family soon will affect your availability, and weighing how much a four-year degree will actually improve your chances of becoming a video game designer. By breaking it down this way, each part becomes easier to evaluate.

    4. __________________________________________________________________

      The core problem is deciding whether to pursue a four-year degree to better prepare for a career in video game design while also balancing work, finances, and plans to start a family soon. Related issues include the cost of more schooling, the time commitment, and how it will affect your home life and future stability. A successful solution must support your career goals, remain financially realistic, and still allow room for family responsibilities. A good metaphor for this situation is choosing between two paths—one easier and shorter now, and one longer but potentially leading to greater opportunities.

    5. __________________________________________________________________

      After doing three ten-minute brainstorming sessions with my group and comparing them to my own ideas, I noticed that the group came up with more ideas and they were generally more creative. Working together helped us build on each other’s suggestions, which made the ideas more unique and interesting. My individual ideas were simpler, while the group had more innovative ones.

    1. Yes, because the rate of formation of [N⁢A2⁢O⁢A2]=k1⁢[NO]2. Substituting k1⁢[NO]2 for [N⁢A2⁢O⁢A2] in the rate law for step 2 gives the

      While I do agree that the rate of formation of N2O2 = k1[NO]^2, I don’t agree that [N2O2]=k1[NO]^2. Am I wrong?

    1. Michael Pollan observes, “Americans today are having a national conversation about food and agriculture that would have been impossible to imagine even a few short years ago” (29). Pollan continues, “But the national conversation unfolding around the subject of food and farming really began in the 1970s” (29). He then specifies, “I would argue that the conversation got under way in earnest in 1971, when [Wendell] Berry published an article in The Last Whole Earth Catalogue” (29).

      after each signal phase you have to provide less and less information about the author/writer.

    1. London Theater

      Being both a playwright and an actor allowed him to understand performance from multiple perspectives. His success as a business partner shows that theater was not just art but also a practical livelihood.

    2. Marriage and Children

      Shakespeare’s marriage to Anne Hathaway and separation while he worked in London shows how playwrights had to balance family with career, even in the 1500s. It’s interesting how personal life may have influenced his plays.

    3. Shakespeare

      Shakespeare is called the most famous English writer, but it’s interesting that we know so little about his life. This makes me think about how historical records shape our understanding of authors and their work.

    1. Audience

      I appreciate how the chapter points out that audiences in drama are part of the experience. Soliloquies, direct address, and even chaotic audience reactions (like the tomato story!) show how live performance creates a different kind of energy than reading. Drama is interactive in a way other genres aren’t.

    2. ialogue and Action

      This section shows why dialogue is the heart of drama. Because the narrator isn’t describing thoughts or backstory, the characters’ words and actions must reveal everything: personality, conflict, emotion, setting, and theme. It makes sense why playwrights must choose every line carefully there’s no internal monologue to fill in gaps.

    3. dialogue

      I like the comparison between dialogue in novels and plays. Novels describe actions clearly, but in drama, actors interpret the stage directions and express action physically. This highlights how performance plays a huge role in meaning. The same written line could feel completely different depending on the actor’s delivery.

    4. acts

      The explanation of acts and scenes shows how drama is organized differently than fiction. Plays have to consider practical limits like intermissions and stage transitions because they are performed live. This makes me appreciate how much planning goes into shaping each act around a key moment in the plot.

    5. Example

      The breakdown of Aristotle’s tragic structure makes it easier to understand how tragedies create emotional responses. The idea of anagnorisis (recognition) followed by peripeteia (reversal of fortune) shows how tragedy builds tension and then releases it. This helps explain why tragedies feel so intense the protagonist realizes the truth too late.

    6. Plot

      The chapter emphasizes plot as the most important part of drama, and I like how it connects this to fiction. What stands out is the idea that plot structure isn’t fixed playwrights can shape events however they want as long as it creates an emotional effect. This reminds me that drama depends on intention more than a rigid formula.

    1. catharsis

      Aristotle’s concept of catharsis explains why audiences are drawn to tragic stories. Watching someone else’s suffering helps people process their own emotions.

    2. evolution

      The connection between Greek drama and religious worship is fascinating. It shows how early drama wasn’t just entertainment, but a civic and spiritual activity.

    3. fiction

      I find it interesting how the chapter says plays and novels are similar in plot and character, but playwrights have to communicate everything visually. This reminds me that drama relies more on performance than description.

    1. unevenly distributed, polluted, mismanaged and wasted.

      And now, on top of this, there's the issue of such high amounts of water being needed to cool AI computers that scarcity is only increasing. This is a resource that EVERYONE NEEDS TO SURVIVE, but it's treated like garbage and I cannot fathom why.

    1. Wetland

      Why are wetlands some of the most populated areas on earth? For something that appears inhabitable, there is such a wide variety of life that dwells in them, and somehow, its a collection of some of the most dangerous creatures.

    2. They can lead to increased severe flooding

      Is this not one of the main things they are meant to prevent? We as humans are GREAT at shooting ourselves in the foot.

    3. most of the rivers in the world are too polluted to support certain human activities,

      If the sentiment that water is more precious than oil is generally accepted, why is it not better protected? All of our bodies of water are polluted beyond belief, many areas have severe shortages of water due to said pollution as well as diseases, and at least in terms of the U.S. government, we don't see much happening to preserve or clean up what is quite literally the most important resource on the planet.

    1. Water is the universal solvent

      Honestly, completely unrelated, but how is it that people develop an allergy to water? There's been several cases of it, but its such a pure element that I genuinely have to wonder.

  3. Nov 2025
