THE ADAPTATION OF FAKE NEWS BY ALICE BARRAH Intro The term "Fake News" broke out in popular media back in 2016, when Donald Trump accused CNN reporter Jim Acosta of being the very term. Since then fake news has wormed its way through nearly every media outlet, reporter, politician and celebrity alike, and it's become hard for a new generation of consumers to tell the difference between what's true and what's false. What is Fake News? Fake News, put simply, is the spread of misinformation…

People the world over tend to have highly inflated and self-delusory opinions of themselves and go to great length to defend and conserve that opinion. While this is true of the average person in the street, it is even truer of people who hold high office or have hereditary privileged positions, like royalty. Our contemplation today deals with such a person, King Belshazzar of Babylon, and his momentous fall from power when God weighed him in the balances and found him wanting. As we proceed it…

false. I understand that Trump is a very entertaining because he makes a fool of himself, but I don’t believe that he is someone that should run the country. Yes, he’s has made more money than most of us will make in a lifetime, but he has also lost a huge amount. You can’t run a country like a business, no matter how well you believe it’ll work. Satire helps keep the humor in the world, making people laugh when their day has been rough. John Oliver’s thoughts on Trump are spot on and he…

Donald trump, the front runner for the republican presidential ticket in the forthcoming US presidential elections is a controversial figure, its either you ‘hate’ him or you ‘love’ him, there is no middle ground.

Oppositions to his comments…

To begin, in the article “Donald Trump & FDR”, Joseph Berger discussed Trump’s proposal saying that it would be “hard to enforce, requiring officials to figure out a foreigners religious beliefs-- a murky area.” The fact of the matter is that beliefs are not black and white, and they cannot…

Consistently throughout the current 2016 election, Donald Trump has not defied traditional public relations strategies, but he has also defied social media norms and discourse when discussing issues that he is passionate about. Not only does he attack people on social media, but he also uses personal insults to try to demean his opponents and other famous figures. Trump has consistently been known as the most outspoken candidate throughout this whole election, which is loved by some and…

first woman president. When Trump won, election history was made, and he is still making it. Controversy surrounds Trump and his presidency. This controversy is showcased in the media every day, in every form. Media is a one of the primary tools used in an election. It is used to broadcast opinions, commercials, etc.. The main result of all of this political flooding in the media…

beneath. I predicted a stronger debate than the presidential debate and a win for the Democratic Party under Tim Kaine. In my opinion, the vice presidential debate ended up being a lot more childish than I had expected. I expect childish from Donald Trump, because that is how he has put himself out there from the very beginning. However, Mike Pence took the same approach. At one point, he fired off a comment about how Clinton and Kaine “should know a lot about an insult driven campaign”. To…

In this essay I have sought to understand and enlighten the intricacies of spoken language by studying two audio clips – one from the television reality show ‘The Apprentice’ and the second a recorded conversation of the captain of the Costa Concordia at the time of its sinking. Written language often falls short in conveying most emotions such as sarcasm or surprise. This is even truer with subtle emotions like annoyance or shyness. Most formal languages afford us with at most the question mark…

There are many books and films that talks about a situation like Trump becoming president and what could happen if he does. A world in which a man like Donald Trump can be considered president is defective because we have already been warned from…
