Many Americans lack the motivation to engage in any form of physical activity. In fact, 27.5 percent of the United States population is considered to be obese, and 25.3 percent of the population in sedentary (“2014 Annual Report”). According to Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, children and adolescents (6-17 years old) are supposed to get 60 minutes or more of daily moderate intensity physical activity (“Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans”). They should get at least three days…

Postman’s overarching idea is that the television has changed not only the way in which news is presented to the public, but also that it has changed the very way we think. Although his book has two parts, I would like to divide it into three. First, Postman writes about the nature of information and how it relates to both the medium that is conveying it and the audience that is receiving it. Next, Postman takes us through a brief history of the multiple revolutions in communication as well as…

The coffee percolator is known as one of the earliest "modern" coffee-brewing tools, that was originally intended for small scale homes that could be heated on a stove or any other hear source (Meister, Erin). This type of coffee pot was very popular before the invention of the automatic drip coffee makers which was around the 1970s (Coffee Percolator Explained). It has been said, according to Erin Meister, that the percolator was and is the beginning for more brewing techniques that have been…

are currently in the process of preparing for next year’s special exhibition. Each year, the museum displays an exhibit which has had a significant impact on human history. An object rich in history and culture would be Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press. This object was the invention that historians consider brought civilization to an entirely new level of technological advancement (contrary to how insignificant it may seem). This change is often compared to when humans discovered iron which…

Research of “Censorship: Should Language be censored?” Censorship in America is an ongoing debate in today’s society. Many argue there is too much taking place, while others argue we don’t do enough to control it. In this essay we will examine censorship from four different perspectives. Has censorship gone too far, or have we let it go too far already, is the question? We as Americans love our freedom. When we are restricted, only then do we feel violated. But as a society do we not need…

Media is being consumed by everyone daily. Whether it is for work purposes or recreational use, media has become essential for most individuals. It has become the normal way of living. It is important to acknowledge the significance of media in the society (Mike Gasher, David Skinner & Rowland Lorimer, 2012). The communication and media world will be forever evolving and growing. This commentary will illustrate how the concepts through chapters 1 and 5 expand my understanding of the media…

Envision a nation where everyone who felt offended by music, art or literature tried to get the offensive content banded. This would create so many problems when the way people feel about something becomes more important than the actual laws that determine whether or not material should be censored. Though this can be a sensitive subject, I wish to proceed from the viewpoint of whether the artist of the song deserved to have this song pulled off radio stations across the United States. On…

Due to lack of attention on driving Stevens plowed into an Enterprise Rental Vehicle that was sitting in the parking lot, which was followed by his fourth ticket in four years from cell phone use while driving. Now days we have more to do in a day than we can actually get done. So when we are driving we are trying to accomplish things such as eating or making dinner plans on the phone. Two of the biggest people that multitask are business people and mom with children who can’t take care of…

the printing press, which, allowed documents to be copied one page at a time, as many times as was required. The movable type printing press revolutionized the publishing industry by allowing books to be more easily produced, which lead to education reformation, as well as cultural and economic growth in 15th century Europe. Gutenberg’s movable type printing press was an ingenious yet simple means of mass producing a text. It is important to note that Gutenberg’s Printing Press does not…
