On July 30, 2002, Congress passed with a near unanimous vote what is considered by many to be “the most comprehensive financial reporting legislation since the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934” (Louwers at al., 2015).

With gaining such popularity, respect and trust many news casts now criticize Jon Stewarts daily show for being a "comedy" rather than a report. However, with the knowledge, facts and information he offers, the audience cannot help but to see the true reality as well as sometimes the brutal honesty he offers on his show. With that being said, it is thought that with those core elements…
The counterculture movement of the 1960s reflected an American society that was self-serving and un-patriotic to some, but to others, it was a reflection of a liberating and pleasure-seeking America. There were clear distinctions at this time between the “old” and the “new”. Baby boomers rejected the cultural standards of their parents because they wanted to pursue their own versions of happiness, but their parents’ generation believed that they were destroying the democratic ideals that…

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. We are disputing Notice # 45978, Acct # 11164 as we believe these charges had previously been paid to Linebarger. We filed a dispute with ETAN stating we believe these tolls were previously paid. The response we received was “After researching our records, we were not able to locate a payment on the account.”. However, as you and I discussed, there have been previous payments for tag # 1687PI. This notice includes toll charges for a span of…
Thank you for your kind letter of November 22, 2017. I do not intend to argue with you in this forum over the relative good faith of the parties regarding any aspect of this case. The record demonstrates that, despite the best efforts of Escondido Trafalgar, the ownership of Blast Enterprises, Inc., has taken a series of conflicting positions, which positions have thus far stymied the progress of the renovation of the Shopping Center. Mr. Colleran’s outreach to Blast Enterprises was a courteous…

The two comedians mock an actual interview done by the potential vice president and journalist that was performed a few weeks prior. The 7 minute cold open, which is longer than most of their sketches, contains a plethora of communication methods to…
Satire is the 'safest' way to contradict another person’s statements/ actions/ beliefs through use of humour, irony, exaggeration, and ridicule. Satire highlights key topical issues in society and identifies their flaws. It inspires some, and it'll offend some. Such is life. It's not easy being the perpetrator of a damaging ideal, only to have a mirror held up with the ugliest parts of our humanity reflected back. Thank You for smoking, released in theatres March 2006, is dark satire disguised…
