The invention of the television has changed the world and especially the US tremendously. What once was just a dream became a reality; people could be together watching the same event in real time, something that could never be achieved before. Although this invention of the television had many great aspects and improvements in the lives of the American people, it also changed the political landscape negatively, making image over substance important in Presidential elections, creating an intimacy with leaders and celebrities like never before, as well as giving rise to the credibility of influential media.

This caused candidate Bill Clinton to reveal what underwear he wore to the American Public during an interview with MTV (Source B). This arbitrary fact was based on the principle that people wanted— and needed— to know more about the President and influential people because of television and the rise of media. Through the television, people believed that they know the person closely and feel a connection, but that is not the case.

He/she knows information that the public does not, and must be able to make rational decisions for the country regardless of his/her image. Television causes leaders to be more concerned about their image and persona more so than the betterment of the
1 Guern was a member of the Ninth Legion of Rome who ultimately had to desert the legion due to his health, giving him a justified reason and therefore he was not a deserter. 1 Guern says that he had a gruesome wound that he could put three fingers in and that he was sick (page 122). 8 Marching with his legion as far as he could before the pain and fear of being hunted grew to be too much, Guern was left with seemingly no other choice but to drop off. 2 Given the circumstances and the situation Guern was in, his decision to leave was justified.

Explanation: When you bring the shotgun to your shoulder, the stock should be brought to your cheek first and then back to your shoulder. A common error is lowering the head and cheek to the stock, instead of bringing the stock all the way up to the cheek.

They sailed over from England, all seeking glorified opportunities. These English colonists sought out an opportunity when boarding ships and leaving the Old World to travel to the exciting unknown; but each person had their own unique desire. These unique desires led to the many diverse societies that spread all throughout the eastern sea board of the New World by the 1700’s. Religious tolerance, organization in government, and economic stability were all contributing factors to the differences New England and Chesapeake Bay regions had.
Since 1952, television has played a major role in presidential elections. Television allows candidates to reach a broad number of people, and personalities, to help push along their campaigns. Campaigns help the candidates just as much as the voters. The candidates get to be identified, and known to the voters, and the voters get to hear and see how a specific candidate identifies with their needs and wants. The best way to get this information out there is through the most used form of media, television.

I think that the Campus Information Centre on UT Arlington’s campus plays a pivotal role in helping students, guardians and information seekers to guide them through their any question about the university. When I was new to UT Arlington, I didn’t know the places and the buildings in the University, I went to the Campus Information Centre thinking that they might help me. But sadly, they also didn’t have much clue about the places in campus. I was quite in shock as they did not know where the fine arts building was and it’s direction. This is my main reason that I am interested in applying to this position as I could help incoming students and transfer students to be accustomed to the university easily.

The creation of television was a new form of education and entertainment. Television also became a major source of news and information. Every major world event since the 1950’s has been aired on television. One of the largest influences television created was mass media.

Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev, Che Guevara, and Fidel Castro all had their political influence cast through
