quite presumptuous of man to believe that he is the only ‘intelligent’ life in the universe. So, I guess that means that I do believe aliens exist. However, I am not alone in my beliefs: Professor John Dewey, General Douglas MacArthur and President Ronald Reagan all acknowledged their belief in extraterrestrials during speeches: Professor John Dewey (Philosophy Columbia University) stated in 1917: “Someone remarked that the best way to unite all the nations on this globe would be an attack from…

He specifically notes that rise of cable television greatly influenced the national dialog as American Society was no longer dependent on the three major networks information.

Significant figures are the numbers that are important when performing calculations in chemistry and other fields of science. These numbers are important to scientists because they determine the accuracy and precision to which their measurements and calculations were made.

Defense and foreign policy was also an important issue during the election. Reagan had portrayed Jimmy Carter as being weak in these areas in order to win election in 1980 (Diggins 161). He used a similar strategy to try to paint Carter’s Vice-President as embodying a similar view.
