Bipartisanship
.... Hypothesis #2: Money, big corporations, and fellow party affiliates affect the voting patterns of Senators and House members.
Hypothesis #3: Due to the fact that there are contributions coming in at both sides for different politicians, nothing actually gets accomplished. This can compared to a negative (-1) added to a positive (+1) which eventually comes back to equal 0 (consequently resulting in some aspects of government effectiveness going back to “square one”).

Bias In Printmedia
.... a writer to leave out facts, whether they are important or not. By leaving out certain facts in an article, it only gives the reader one side of the situation. A writer can either give the good side or the bad. Very rarely will a reader get both sides of the product or incident. The Globe and Mail, on October 7, 1999, demonstrates this bias in the article “ To your health”, by printing about how alcohol can “help repair liver damage”, but what it does not print are the negative effects alcohol can h .....

foundation.
Individual freedom is by far one of the most important foundations to a
democracy’s survival. Individual freedom is difficult to define, though a general meaning is illustrated by a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes, “The right to swing my fist ends where another man’s nose begins.” Enforcing people to wear their seat belt against their will is an example of how America has failed to secure the one of most important foundation .....

National Institute of Mental Health (1993) reported that even though it’s easier to talk about anorexia and bulimia being different conditions, individual patients often suffer from symptoms of both. Indeed, it often happens that bulimia develops after a period of months or years of anorexic symptoms. Women suffer from these disorders 10 times more than men, and so this leaflet refers to the sufferer as “she”!
