For the longest time, television has been able to influence the American culture; how the people and to a large extend the decisions they make. The American media has the freedom to air anything they feel like; however, in some cases what they air contributes negatively to the society’s culture. An example is violence. In 1975, the medical community was able to establish a link between television violence and child and youth growth development. This link showed that a child brought up watching violence on television ended up showing signs of aggression that a child not exposed to such. The content viewed on television is sufficient not only to instill principals of violence but also to encourage crime in the society.
There is a thin line between the freedom of speech and inciting of violence. Though the American constitution does not expressly state this, the courts in Brandenburg v. Ohio case that
“ . . .we have fashioned the principle that the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”
Over the years, the American television has been found to play a major role when it comes to the election of their president. This is because more Americans prefer watching television to reading a newspaper. Important events such as presidential debates and other key issues on politics usually aired on television closely followed by the society. In this case, the media may either influence the cultural influence of the community in either a good way or a bad way
The economic issues are also another area where the legal laws appear not fit or not present in the television industry. In regard to this standardization of the media players has also been a great issue. This is because the reception of the TV via the internet has been controlled over the last years. This has allowed the consumer to get free access to various programs offered by the local TV station. In addition the diffusion of the internet-based TV is limited by the access cost. This therefore implies that the owners of the television station are unable to realize enough profit. The consumer also able to view any program they wish via the internet. This is because there lacks clear rules in regard to the standardization of the media.
Moreover, the computers nowadays are also used as device for watching TV. This has in turn limited the companies selling the TV handset since they are unable to realize any sale due to this competition. It is also important to note that the IP transmission of various TV programs is completely unreliable. In addition the quality of transmission is also not to the standard. This has in turn affected the television industry negatively, since most of the consumers are not willing to watch the programs from the internet, which have poor picture quality. This problem is mainly due to the facts that are no laws that exist to govern the quality of the television picture that are transmitted via the internet. This therefore implies that the government must come up with new laws to govern the industry. However, it is important to note that the quality of the picture transmitted via the internet is currently improving with technology.
The assumptions refers to the various things that are taken for granted. This may also include various things that one had previously learned and therefore one does not have necessarily has to question. In addition the assumption may also be used to indicate part of the belief system. This is because a person usually develops beliefs that are then used to interpret the happening of the world behind them. One may therefore argue that if the belief system of an individual is sound then such is an individual may make a sound assumption. However if the belief system of an individual is not sound then such persons may end up making the wrong assumptions. Moreover it is also important to note that the assumption can be justified or not depending on the type of assumption made.
Assumption interference in critical thinking
There are various assumptions that interfere with the critical thinking. First, there is this assumption that other people are familiar with the problem or the issue that one wants to share. In relation to this one may also assume that others are also faced with the same problem that one wants to present and therefore have the same interest in the problem or the issue that one intends to present. The second assumption that affects the critical thinking is the assumption that small imperfection in the person ideas will not affect the people acceptance to it. This is wrong assumption since the people who disagree with ones ideas use such imperfection to question the idea. The third assumption that interferes with critical thinking is the assumption that if something is not clear to ones thinking it will be clear to the other people. Moreover, the assumptions that the people who stand to benefit from ones idea will automatically benefit without any persuasion also interfere with critical thinking.
What might you do to avoid making assumptions in your thinking
In order to avoid making assumption one first needs to clarify his or her own thinking. In relation to this one therefore needs to state one point at a time. This can allow the listeners to understand clearly the point that one intend to raise. Elaborating the meaning of each point can also help to ensure that the listener understood the point being raised. Moreover, one also needs to stick to the point. This can help the listeners to make a logical connection of the various issues being raised. Another important thing that one needs to look out is any question that may arise from the ideas presented. This can help to clarify any detail that may not be clear in the explanation. One also needs to ensure that he or she is reasonable in thinking. This can help to ensure that the one is able to identify the level if willingness among the audience. In addition being reasonable can also help to ensure that one is able to detect any irritation among the listener when delivering the idea.
What are fallacies?
Fallacies mainly refer to the mistake in the reasoning. This therefore implies that fallacies are arguments that which uses bad reasoning. There are two broad categories of the fallacies, the formal and the informal fallacies. The formal fallacies refer to the defect in the argument that can be indentified through careful looking at the logical structure of the argument. On the other hand the informal argument refers to the defect in the argument that can be indentified only through careful analysis of the fact presented in the arguments. Studying fallacies is important since it helps one to spot poor reasoning and be able to correct such type of reasoning. In addition studying of the fallacies helps in establishing the rules of correct reasoning. Most importantly the study of fallacies helps in one to avoid them in their reasoning and therefore ensure that they provide only facts when delivering ideas.
How are fallacies used in written, oral, and visual arguments?
The fallacies are in written, oral and visual arguments in several ways. In the visual argument, the fallacies refer to the concept that one witnessed the event and therefore uses that as a tool for persuasion. However one needs to evaluate claims and weighing the evidence presented in support of the claim. In oral arguments a person may present a weak analogy of the claim in this case an individual draws conclusion through comparing various events presented (Gambrill, 2012). However, careful analysis of the weak analogy it is evident that such arguments are not correct since the two event presented do not literally connect to each other. In addition in the oral argument an individual may use the slippery slope to present his or her argument. In this case, the arguer usually claims that certain sort of chain reaction usually ends up in a certain dire consequence. However careful analysis of such arguments it is evident that there is no enough evidence to support such claims.
What might you do to avoid fallacies in your thinking?
In order to avoid fallacies in the reasoning one first need to keep the cause and effect separate. This can help to distinguish that just because something happens it does not mean that the first thing causes the second thing. Another important ways of avoid the fallacy in thinking is to avoid jumping into a conclusion which can in turn help to avoid the hasty generalization (Damer, 2009). Moreover, it is also important for one to avoid introducing the red herring. In this case one needs to avoid introducing irrelevant lines in the argument. In addition one also needs to avoid drawing false analogy of two things, which might not even be related. During argument it is also important for one to focus on the opponent position and not the character of the individual. This is because the character of an individual is irrelevant to the argument.

Question 11. How do you feel that communications law and policy contribute to safeguarding The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, individual privacy, free speech, and a democratic society? What modifications, if any, would you make to communications law and policy? 100 words
In the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom applies to policies and legislation of federal government and guarantees freedoms and rights similar to the rights found within the charter. In this case, the laws include legal rights, equality rights, freedom of association and freedom of speech. Therefore the communication policy and law protect the freedom of each person regardless of their ethnicity. For example, the intelligence-led policing help improve intelligence and information sharing. For example, LEO (Law Enforcement Online) and CALEA (Communication Assistant for Law Enforcement Act) in the United States help control the communication department thus preventing crimes like eavesdropping (Edwards, 2012).
Question 13. How much private enterprise and/or free-market economics should be applicable to mass communication? Please locate yourself within one of the viewpoints (i.e. economistic, culturalist etc.) when expressing your opinion. 100 words
The major hardships which threaten the division of Canadian mass media include the outcome relates to American cultural and economic imperialism. In this case, Canada still faces difficulties in identifying itself to the media.
Question 15. Compare and contrast the Canadian context for journalists with the European and American contexts. Please reference Canadian Law in your response.
European journalists entail broader libel definition than the journalists in the United States and Canada. The united states journalists feel that the democratic press has no right to report the results of exit polls while the voting has not ended whereas in western countries like Europe the decision to vote or not depends with them. Moreover, Canadian journalist use social and their tools embedded on their knowledge and professional practice whereas European journalists have positive views about social media impacts. Moreover, the American journalists incorporate more detailed and less speculative information in the media for example the New York Times as compared to the European and Canadian journalists.

Following with the September 11th attack on the world trade center, different media houses could have reported the event in different perspective. The main issue analyzed in this paper is how the two media reported and described the bomb attack. The case outlined here is how the MSNBC and Fox news could have used the two different perspectives to report the event.
Fox news
The September 11 attack can be described as one of the first successful international terrorism attack in United State. This terrorisms attack can be termed as one of the deadly attacks that have ever affected united state this is because the attack involved more 3000 victims. Moreover, this attack can also be termed as one of the first known case of suicide attack. This attack happened when the hijackers turned some commercials airline into various missiles and attacked the world trade centre. The first Airline Flight 11 that was carrying 92 passengers from Boston to Los Angelis crushed into the World Trade Center the north tower. While the second which was the American Airline Flight 77 which was carrying 64 people from Washington DC to New York crushed into pentagon. The third flight which was United Air Flight 93 which was carrying 64 people also crushed 80miles southeast of Pittsburgh. This terror attack can only be compared to the D-day inversion of the Nazi-occupied France where many Americans dead in June 6 1944. Immediately after the attack the United States president started to organize some international coalition against the Al-Qaeda and the Taliban government. Moreover the U.S president started to mobilize funds to help recover from the attack.
MSNBC news
The September 11attack consisted of series of airlines hijacking and suicide attack. An Islamic extremist group known as al-Qaeda is mainly attributed to these attacks. This attack against the United States led to the injury and loss of many lives. The U.S police and fire department was also hard hit by the terrorism attack. This is because many of the police officer who run to rescue people from the bomb explosion were also injured and some even died due to injury from the glass. These attacks were mainly propagated by the fact the leader of the Islamic group al-Qaeda Osama bin laden strong disliked the various policies of United States. Moreover this leader strongly believed that the United States was a much weaker country. He mainly held this believe that America was a weak country since it withdrew its troops from Somalia after the death of 11 soldiers. In addition he also believed that America was a weak country since it accepted to withdraw its troops from Lebanon following the various airs bombarding on the marine troops. However the key operation plan was carried out by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who is believed to have spent most of his youth life in Kuwait. Immediately the attack took place the various American air spaces were closed. This was to help prevent any other pending attacks that could have probably occurred. After the attack the various American citizen were touched by the thousand innocent children, spouses, friends, who were murdered during the attack. This attack will forever remain in the minds of many Americans.

Supercomputing and Visualization in Computer Science
2.1. What is meant by pre-attentive?
Pre-attentive can be defined as visual processing of a certain item before the act of selection.
2.2. Referring to the journal articles we examined, when does shape versus color come into play? How does affect pre-attentive observations on data sets?
Color in the normally is the function of the measured value for a certain data sets and it is believed to change dynamically with the rate of that value. The role of shape is to attract attention prior to pre-attentive vision. Color is easier to be observed and detected as compared to shape. Color and shape are considered to be unique elements which can be noticed and help to distinguish an object at a glance.
The creation of “Super WiFi” network by the federal government to be use by the public is good idea in several ways. First, the network created would be so broad and therefore be able to reach the entire consumer across the nation. Second the consumers will not only use the networks to surf the internet but also make calls (Dominique, 512). This would in turn help to save consumer from the burden of paying for the cell phone bill every month. Another important point to note is that the creation of this type of network would also give the room for individuals to carry out the technological innovation. Most importantly the network will be offered for free therefore allowing everyone across the nation to access the network.
Social Networking Sites: Making friends and Getting "Poked"
Communication through the social networking sites has become common in all over the world (King 93). Everyone can pass a message and make friends through the social sites (King 93). Corporations get a chance to advertise through these sites that are used over the world. Face-book is one the networking site that most young people use to communicate and socialize. The other commonly used networking site is the, “twitter”. In addition to these two networking sites there are other sites that today’s generation is using known as, “2go” and “MySpace” (King 93).

Memo writing entails keen and proper writing in a simple version to communicate its contents to the intended audience. The message must be clear, brief and directed directly to the audience with no jargon in it. The introductory paragraph according to the guidebook specifies that the writer may at sometimes be indirect but according to my changes, this might interfere with effectual communication. For clarity and clear readable work, I propose that the paragraphs should bear 2.0 spacing. In my changes, I will utilize times Ariel font, but the font must be 13.0 to 13.5. This will ensure that the memo’s wording is readable at some distance of approximately two meters. Since many memos’ entail sticking or pinning on the notice boards where people will be passing and read while standing. The introductory paragraph instead of meandering or being wordy should be to the point in stating and explaining briefly what the content of the memo. This paragraph should not be long but short about 5 to 7 sentences.
