How bias is your media? And if at all‚ can you determine to what degree and in what direction of the spectrum? That is the question that economists‚ political analysts and the American public have been trying to answer for years. The two articles that I analyzed are in response to studies‚ and a subsequent book‚ written by Tim Groseclose called Left Turn: How liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind. Both articles review the findings of Groseclose’s book‚ but do so in very different ways. The

Upon looking at both versions of Antigone I was able to recognize the differences and similarities almost immediately. Not only do the differences in setting‚ costumes‚ and how the characters are portrayed stand out; but‚ the interpretation between each version of the play gives the impression that while one director focuses solely on the emotion of the characters‚ Antigone and Ismene‚ the other tries to tie in the drama of Thebes as a whole during this period. For the setting of both films

Response Paper 2 1. How would you explain the similarities and differences between fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias to someone who was not familiar with the two concepts? Fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias are similar in that they both are errors made using perception. Fundamental attribution error deals with wrongly explaining a behavior based on some factors that are internal. It can also be explained as over exaggerating a reason behind a person’s behavior or

Ismene and Antigone can be looked at as siblings who fight. For example‚ Ismene doesn’t seems to be involved in anything risky or rule-breaking. She did want to dis obey Creons wishes. She is obedient or a "good girl". Antigone on the other hand is very stubborn‚ she wants things done her way. Antigone doesnt care about Creons wishes. Ismene obeys what she is told while Antigone is more rebellious and does not care for what Creon has to say‚ or anyone for that matter. This is important because it

Professor Tragic Elements of Antigone and OMM A tragedy is a serious work of fiction that presents the downfall of its protagonist‚ who through some error in judgment‚ weakness in character‚ or twist of fate suffers crushing defeat or death. It also must involve incidents arousing pity and fear. The novel Of Mice and Men‚ by John Steinbeck‚ and the Greek drama Antigone‚ by Sophocles‚ both have the woeful elements of a tragedy. In Antigone‚ the main character Antigone is of the cursed family of Oedipus

Superior Control The Greek play‚ Antigone‚ written by Sophocles‚ sheds light on whom and what a leader truly is. Antigone is a strong representative of the people. Antigone is a listener to the people and knows true judgment. She fences the logical state Creon is in pertaining to his power in law. The doomed daughter of Oedipus believes “the eternal laws of Heaven” were the only laws powerful enough to teach morals‚ not Creon’s. (Scene 3 line 69) Greek gods were the only beings who know how

Antigone “No- there’s nothing shameful in honouring my mother’s children” Antigone said to Creon. “You had a brother killed fighting for the other side” Creon blurted(581-583). Antigone’s word‚ actions‚ and ideas contrast with Creon’s character to the point of these two characters having conflicting motivations. These conflicting motivations cause the characteristics of disrespect‚ rude‚ and stubbornness to be highlighted within Creon’s character. Ultimately‚ these conflicting motivations develop

Cameron Barr HUM/111 Detecting Media Bias May 19‚ 2013 For this assignment‚ I used Yahoo as my search engine to come across an article that tells about the IRS current tea party scandal and how Barrack Obama is not involved in it. The article was not clear‚ in my opinion‚ because it failed to give me a complete view or enough information on what exactly is going on. I had to look elsewhere to figure out what exactly this scandal is. However‚ the article was accurate because some of the fact

guards—all that your can do is to have me killed. The political heroism in Antigone’s resistance is her refusal of state power. Antigone says no to all she finds vile‚ and in this sense she is more powerful than the ruler beholden to his throne. Despite all his trappings of power‚ Creon finds himself helpless‚ unable to act on his own. He wants not to execute Antigone but cannot help ordering her death. Having said yes to state power‚ he is circumscribed by his own kingship‚ by very the throne that
