through several supporting advertisements. Since then, they have increased their demographic, all by offering their viewers, of any age, a way to access the information right then and there and best of all: free. Due to this, that year, CBS beat out ABC in viewers, in the first 32 out of 35 weeks in the first quarter. As of 2016, despite its recent changes and adaption to the currant times, CBS News is still third when it comes to the morning and evening newscasts, however, this is also the closest its come to its competitors in over a decade. Aside from keeping viewership, one of the key topics all news outlets suffer with, is the notion of biases. “In the latter part of the 19th century, journalist talked about something called “realism” rather than objectivity,” as, stated in an American Press Institute article. This meant there was once an idea that reporters would dig the facts, gather and report them and let that speak for itself. Fast-forwarding to the 20th century, with the rise of propaganda and “cultural blinders,” reporters and networks seemed to be leaning more one way than another. In an article from One News Now, it was noted that in the 1970’s & 1980’s, CBS tended to lean towards it liberal audience. A research director, Rich Noyes, from “The Media Research Center,” said of the news network: “CBS is making all the right moves to become the least biased and the most substantive of the three (CBS, NBC, ABC)," he states. "That doesn't mean it's not biased, but…

Television has both effects on American culture, it can be positive and negative depends on how people visualize. Reality television is entertainment it makes viewers forget…

In the video, “How to Live 100+,” Dan Buettner claims to have found a formula for longevity. He teamed up with National Geographic and the National Institute on Aging to find areas where people were living longer than the national average. These places are called Blue Zones and are located all around the world. People are living such long lives in these Blue Zones because they have made simple lifestyle changes. In America, the odds of someone living to be 100 years old are very slim because…

to that question however I do know about the theme of that question. Being able to push through when the going gets tough. There are 3 songs that I have chosen that convey the same theme. The writers of these songs are Macklemore a white rapper and Dan Auerbach from the band Cage the Elephant. I intend to analyze “Hold your Head Up” and “Inhale Deep” by Macklemore accompanied by “Trouble” by Dan Auerbach to show how they all convey that we should keep going even when things get hard. The first…

During his Tedtalk lecture,” How to Live to be 100+,” Dan Buettner discusses ways that people can increase their life expectancy. He references something called the Danish Twin Study and says that roughly 10% of a person’s longevity is dictated by their genes, whereas the other 90% is dictated by our lifestyle (Buettner par. 1). There is so much conflicting advice and data on what people can do to make themselves live longer that most Americans really have no idea what it is that they should be…

make it better. Admittedly, I should have asked for help sooner and much more than I did, instead of just struggling on my own and not getting very far. In the end, I managed to finish it, though I don’t think I did the best job that I could have done because at that point I was so stressed out about it that I just wanted it done. If I ever have to do that kind of paper again I will certainly pick a topic that is easier to focus and I will probably work with someone in the writing center to…

If I had the choice to attain an online education while living anywhere in the world I would choose to live in a blue zone www.bluzones.com/about-blue-zones. There are (5) blue zones in the world and they are: The Italian Island of Sardinia; Okinawa ,Japan; Loma Linda, California; Costa Rica's isolated peninsula; Icaria, and isolated Greek island.
