the revenue figures in the amended income statement shows a slightly lower revenue growth rate of 2,058% for the same two years.

Civil War: Rich Man’s War, Poor Man’s Fight The civil war was a bloody war with epic results. The civil war led to the freedom of the slaves but the war wasn’t really about the slaves. The war was about rich men and their fight for power. Many were led to believe that the union wanted to take their rights, women, and jobs.

A recent study at MIT published in “Nature Magazine” has produced evidence that this relationship is more likely exponential. Furthermore, a popular statistic often linked to Gore’s presentation is that the ten hottest years on record had all occurred within the fourteen years prior to that year – 2006. In 2011, ten of the hottest years on record had all occurred…

It seems there are various genres that address the audience as citizen instead of consumers: Annette Hill’s “Re-styling Factual TV”(2007) gives an insight as to what defines a genre and its criteria for categorization.
