Political Climate of 1950’s vs. Today The novelist Lauren Groff once wrote‚ “In America‚ possibly because of whatever the American dream is‚ this happens over and over again. These eras repeat” (“Lauren Groff Quotes”). Two such eras are the 1950’s and the 2010’s. The 50’s‚ remembered with the military-man Eisenhower; the 2010’s‚ with the watershed Obama‚ may seem stark in their physical attributes; however‚ at their heart‚ these two eras may have more in common than first realized.

Plus technology wasn’t as common as it is today so it was all manual labor. Now that there is more technology there is less need for that. As time went on‚ American identities changed a lot. Back in the day‚ people didn’t have the same things as we did today‚ so their American Identity couldn’t have been the same as today. Back then it

The game has changed slightly since its beginning but it is not a

The Relevance of Disturbing Images The media today is a very powerful tool of communication. It gives real exposure to mass audiences about what is right and wrong. With that comes the horrifying pictures of things such as earthquake aftermaths and disturbing videos such as the killing of Gaddafi. This poses the age-old debate of whether news organizations should publish graphic images‚ or err on the side of caution and withhold them. It is also questionable as to what is measured as disturbing
