beyond partisanship, unpopular politicians are using the media to win In the article, Illing argues that beyond partisanship, unpopular politicians are using the media to win. Today, the media overwhelms the public with information, some accurate and others fake, leading to a sense of nihilism. People feel a sense of meaninglessness because when there is so much conflicting information about an issue, it becomes easier to give up on the idea that the truth will ever come out. Illing adds that the influx of both accurate and conflicting information is deliberately “manufactured.” Politicians have mastered the art of saturating the media with misinformation, which minimizes its ability to expose the truth. The strategy is to create great cynicism around the truth so that it becomes almost impossible for institutions such as the traditional media and modern media to unearth the truth. With so much confusing information going around, the public becomes convinced the truth is “unknowable.” Similarly, Coppins claims that the Trump re-election campaign will largely be based on targeted misinformation to the public. Specifically, the use of social media…

Druids and Celtic mythology part 4 Celtic creation story Most scholarly experts begin their analysis on the subject of the Druids’ story by referring to the classical accounts. The Roman and Greek observers wrote the reports, which contain the individuals’ agendas and perspectives. Even so, the reports are fascinating, and they refer to the late Iron Age era. The Druid community believe that before the universe was formed, there was a void. The only thing that existed in the vacuum was silence, but a holy breath came upon it. Therefore, the void started to turn (Leeming, 14). It is in the process of that turning that a shape arose. As the shape set, moved and drew in, the edges of the void started to form. The sides began to appear like iron as the formation continued. Eventually, the shape grew into the big revolving Cauldron, which held the void in its heart. The Cauldron turned around to make the first sound. It was the only note, which filled the vacuum (Leeming, 15). The sound of a song that praised its…

Response to “Don’t Get Me Wrong: The Art of Metacommentary,” Response to “Don’t Get Me Wrong: The Art of Metacommentary,” We have probably used metacommentary in our essay without realizing it. According to Graff and Birkenstein (2010), metacommentary is a way of commenting on your claims and telling others how—and how not—to think about them. The authors note that metacommentary should be clearly distinguished from the main statements “metatexts,” for which it is clarifying and interpreting.  A clear distinction between metatext and metacommentary is essential in preventing readers from misinterpreting the metatexts. Besides, Graff and Birkenstein (2010) argue that metacommentary is not just a way of supporting the writer’s ideas but also a way of allowing the readers to view the writer’s work from a different perspective. Generally, metacommentary relates to the methods writers add supplementary texts to support their main statements and thus adding a different view that quickly makes sense to the intended reader. I agree with the author’s argument that metacommentary is useful tools in expanding the length and depth of an essay. Graff and Birkenstein (2010)…

HOW ONE PARTY CAN HAVE AN ADVERSE LASTING EFFECT Introduction             The Mexican PRI stands for Institutional Revolutionary Party written in Spanish as Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). The party goes on record as having ruled Mexico for over six decades without giving up power, and most interestingly, opposition existed all through. It is believed the reason the party reigned for such a very long time without much worry is that the party leaders stayed grounded and loyal to themselves and their interests. These meant they were united on one course, which stayed in power the longest time possible. This long tenure of despotism did not go well for the Mexicans, as it is evident this bred a lot of impunity in the state. The electoral body was bribed more often to manipulate election results; the ever-rising cries of repeated election fraud proves this. The PRI also enjoyed the “love” from their humongous crowds of voters. This was enough to keep them in power for decades. PRI would later leave a very large scar in the lives of the Mexicans with…

Analyzing Mary Jane Logan McCallum’s article, “Domestic Labor and the Age of Discharge at Canadian Indian Residential Schools.” Mary Jane Logan McCallum’s article, “Domestic Labor and the Age of Discharge at Canadian Indian Residential Schools” looks at the controversy arising from Canadian Indian residential schools discharging young adults from school beyond the age of sixteen.  Jane focuses on the struggle over the age of discharge from these residential schools with regard to statements from parents, the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) as well as school staff regarding the returning of female students. Parents of the affected first nation students started the exchange with a request to have pupils who are nearing or past sixteen years of age to return home where their help is much needed. In response, school staff with the aim of retaining students until they turned eighteen and beyond insisted the young girls require subsequent domestic training, moral support and safety provided by the schools which will, in turn, convert them to fit individuals to undertake employment as domestic workers upon completion. According to Jane, gendered labour…
