What is a non example of propaganda

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Propaganda is some information, like a poster or newspaper article or leaflet or tv broadcast etc, which only gives one very strong point of view to try to influence people to a certain way of thinking.

So, NON propaganda is something in these media which tells only the truth and gives a balanced view, or explains that there are different opinions about something, or which just doesn't try to give any opinion at all.

So, a leaflet which is an instruction sheet for a washing machine is not propaganda.  A newspaper article about a big hurricane is not usually propaganda if it just describes the effects of the hurricane.  A poster reminding people to vote in an election but which doesn't try to tell them who to vote for is not propaganda.  A TV show about cooking is not propaganda.

Pelucita is evaluating sources to help her answer her research question, "What are the most popular magic tricks?" Would the
following source be effective in helping to answer her research question?
Magic is short for Magic: The Gathering, which is known as the first official trading card game. Invented by Richard Garfield, the
game was first released in 1993 and has become extremely popular since then. The cards are now also available online, so players
can play in a variety of ways. The game is played by two or more people, and each game is a battle between different wizards.




No, because the source does not ask any questions.

Yes, because the source includes facts.


No, because the source describes a different topic.

Yes, because the source
mentions magic.

Answers

Answer: No, because the source describes a different topic.

Explanation:

An effective source for Pelucita's research question would be one that gives details on magic tricks and the most popular ones amongst them.

This source however, is describing something else. It alludes to the a card game called Magic and not actual magic which means that it will not talk about magic tricks and which ones are the most popular but rather about a card game.

It is therefore not an effective source.

Kishauna rode her bike for 35 minutes each on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and 55 minutes each on Tuesday and Thursday. Choose the correct expression and answer that shows the total amount of time she spent riding her bike.

Answers

Answer:

The expression is (35 + 35 + 35 + 55 + 55) minutes

Total amount of time she spent riding her bike = 215 minutes

Explanation:

Monday = 35 minutes

Wednesday = 35 minutes

Saturday = 35 minutes

Tuesday = 55 minutes

Thursday = 55 minutes

Total amount of time she spent riding her bike = (35 + 35 + 35 + 55 + 55) minutes

= 215 minutes

James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months.
"You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James.
"Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot."
"And I'm sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age."
James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining.
Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe.
"And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog.
It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat.
James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street.
Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.
It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned.
"What is that?" James whispered.
Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.
Read these lines from the text:

Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.

What does "in Adam's fall we sinned all" mean? (Short answer)

Answers

Answer:When Adam sinned it caused all to sin

Explanation:

When Adam sinned in the garden of eden it cause all people to have original sin

Answer:

It was in the garden that the serpent (Satan: 2 Corinthians 11:3, 14; Revelation 12:9) came to Eve and tempted her to eat from the tree that God had commanded Adam not to eat of (Genesis 3:1–5). After disobeying God’s command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, both Adam and Eve’s “eyes were opened” (Genesis 3:7), indicating that they now knew their prior created goodness was but a memory. This is seen in Adam and Eve’s realization that they were naked. Whereas before they were unashamed (Genesis 2:25), they now stood ashamed because of their nakedness. For the Hebrews, nakedness is shameful because it is related with guilt (Genesis 9:22–23; c.f. Isaiah 20:4; Micah 1:11).13 The couple’s shame led them to try to solve their own problem by clothing themselves (Genesis 3:7), which is further “evidence of a change in their condition.”14

A historical Adam is vital to many areas of theology, such as the doctrine of the Fall, yet there is an increasing attack upon this doctrine. Many evangelical theologians deny that Genesis 3 teaches the doctrine of the Fall of man and argue that it is not original to the text but is something that has been forced upon it. This article will look at why theologians reject the Fall of man and whether or not Genesis 3 teaches it.

Poems and Quos for People out there who are like me....

Poem of Life:
You can leave, but don't leave the world behind.
Make your choices, choose smart and wise.
Take time to live life to the fullest and the best, and breathe the sweet smell of life.
You have your choices, you choose between, make the right one and you shall see.
Life has surprises, life has its turns, but you must get through for you to live and experience.
Read it when you need to,
When times are hard and sad.
With anger and pain, but always see yourself as number one,
Do what you think is right for yourself and other,
Even though some decisions you make will be for yourself.

Strong:
We are strong, we all carry great feelings for the ones we love, if they are not strong, help and carry them to the end. People need to be strong in times of need, or maybe just in general, people who are not strong need people who are, to help them lead the way, till both are equally strong, and together people and people, strong or weak either way can make great deeds in life, and immortal marks in the world.

Trees:
Leaves fall to the ground, like a old tree losing its memories,
Sap drips on cars, and onto the ground, from the face of the tree, like it’s crying.
It sways in the wind, trying to keep its balance, and to stay strong,
The wind rustles through the branches and leaves, giving advice and messages,
Carved scars, in the hard, tough bark of a tree.
We, us people are ‘trees’ of our own, as we grow old, we forget our memories, but we always make more, in time.
We cry, and produce our feelings, and they drip, into or onto others.
We sway, as we try to stay strong, and to keep our balance.
And we produce advice and messages, from our minds, as we think, in deep thought.
We are trees, strong, tall, structures, that live life, produce, and die off.

Friends:
There's this little thing called friendship.
I experience it every day,
And will always be thankful that I have friends,
Because they have helped me along the way.
A friend is a flashlight in the dark, or a somebody who will hold your hand in the dark,
A rainbow after the storm,
The sunshine after a cold, damp day,
The glue when you are torn.
I have friends I love like sisters and brothers.
(I know they love me too.)
They'll be there through thick and thin,
For you must know that friendship can be true.

Beauty:
We don't understand the beauty inside so we cries
All the tears that fall from our eyes
And the pain we try to hide
A few know about our thoughts
And the scars on our body from the people who taunt
We want to stop 'this' only for some relief
But with all the grief we feel within it's harder to stop
Then it is to begin
Parents don't understand, And so they just shout
And make them feel even more worthless, And full of doubt
They tried to explain a thousand times
But is never able to seem to find
What will make them listen Instead of fight, So this poem is ending
Let's all find an alternative from the sharp tools across our skin
And hopefully you will notice
All the beauty within.

Memories within the Scars:
We make permanent marks along our bodies with every bad memory hidden within
We know that others do this as well, as they have sharp, and precise lines with memories within.
We don’t realize the beauty within us, nor do the others, they have problems much alike, and they don’t know what to do.
Except to drown in their sorrows, keeping the pain, anger, and sadness hidden underneath their thick hearts.
We only sees ourselves as our own, we can trust nobody but ourselves.
Life isn’t easy, it’s a slide with many ups and downs, it’s a cakewalk full of challenges, and a cruel place where you need to work to survive, it’s a world of the fittest thrives.
Even if it means to make permanent memories on their bodies, to remind them.
But is it the best? Is it the best for them?

Rivers and Roads:
Life will have its current and life will have its road, let life take its course but know that you have to put effort into making you life, what you do is what makes you, but you can change anything within your life, you just need you put your mind to it, if you don’t put effort you won’t pass that steep hill, if you stay in that one spot of the slow current you won’t go anywhere. So make your life, change it, shape it, don’t let it control you.

Pls don't feel bad about the people out there who are like this, life will go it's way and change for the matter. Maybe if you come across such a person like this, encourage them, you don't have to do this but don't always steer away.

Answers

Answer:

For each different audience you must meet the certain wants and needs of that group..

All effective communication begins with knowing your audience and speaking their language – both literally and figuratively. That doesn’t mean changing your core messages, but rather adjusting the way you present them or the context you offer to help explain those messages in a way that resonates most directly with the people to whom you are speaking. Sometimes that is much harder than it sounds because audiences can vary greatly, whether across a team or an entire organization. So where should you begin?

STEP 1: Determine who your audience is.

You might start by making a list of the various groups that form your audience for an upcoming presentation or a memo that you’re writing. Don’t limit this list. Make sure you consider all aspects of your audience, including peers and those to whom you report, if that applies.

Think about the different segments of your audience and specifically:

what they have in common, and

where they differ.

STEP 2: Consider what is on their minds.

Put yourself in their shoes and think about how they view your topic and what they care about. Looking at the world through their eyes will help you develop an effective message and deliver it in ways that will make your audience more likely to listen, engage and act.

STEP 3: Think about what you need them to know.

While it is absolutely critical that you adjust your messages and means of communication to your audience, that doesn’t mean you should lose sight of what you need them to know. Remember your core messages and make sure you are clearly and effectively incorporating them into your communication, while simultaneously packaging them in a way that will best meet your audience where they are.

Feel like you're communicating but your employees don't always hear you? Our free ebook can help. Based on the strategies and tools of our award-winning messagemap methodology, click here to access messaging secrets on how to connect and communicate with your team.

STEP 4: Think about what you need them to think, feel or do based on what you tell them.

More than just passing along information, effective communication should inform, engage, and inspire listeners or readers. Keep that in mind when you are crafting your next speech or memo. Ask yourself what you want the audience to remember as a result of what you have said. Are you calling them to take action of any kind? Is that “ask” clearly conveyed and repeated for emphasis? The most effective communication moves people to action, and many times we need to ask for what we want!

STEP 5: Decide the best means of communicating this information.

As a child, we’re often reminded “there’s a time and a place” for that (whatever the activity may be). That adage holds true for effective communication as well.

When considering setting and format, if you are sharing news about a major change, perhaps that is best done in a town hall or team meeting to allow for face-to-face dialogue. If you’re passing on regular updates that people need to know, but likely won’t elicit concern, then consider a memo or regular e-newsletter, depending on the channels you have available. The more complex the message, the more you need a face-to-face-like setting.

STEP 6: Ask yourself how you can best relate to your audience and motivate them to take action.

Now we’re getting down to the heart of knowing your audience. Look back at your audience list and their mindset. Think about a story that you could tell that they might relate to, or a way you could relate back how their actions will have a broader impact on the company as a whole. This is your chance to add relevancy to what you’re saying and leave them with a memorable call to action.

Ultimately, the key is knowing your audiences and presenting the information they want to hear along with the information they need to hear in a way that works best for them. When you think about message delivery in those terms, you’re setting up yourself and your audiences for a positive communications experience – no matter the topic you are conveying.

It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months. "You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James. "Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot." "And I'm sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age." James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining. Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe. "And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog. It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat. James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street. Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again. It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned. "What is that?" James whispered. Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.Read these lines from the text:Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair.
