- 1072: Communication And Race
- ... Entman (1990) found that local news stimulated the production of modern racism. Violent crimes committed by blacks was the largest category of local news. Of the eight times in which blacks were subjects of lead stories, six described violent crimes. In addition, blacks were shown as being more dangerous than whites.

In the "Eighth Day" of The Decameron, Boccaccio accurately depicts women's submissive role in the family, male dominance in society, and sexual promiscuity of the fourteenth century. In the "Eighth Day", a majority of the stories told represent women as submissive wives to what their husbands say. In the second story told, Boccaccio tells of a woman who had asked the priest for his cloak as a surety that he would ... fit into the role of obedient housewife. Another important characteristic of lifestyles in the fourteenth century is that of male dominance in the society and workforce.

In the first story, an exchange of money takes place between two men. ...

- Feathery Friends Or Carnivorous Beasts? The Birds, the movie, “The Birds,” the short story, appeal to different tastes of people. The movie is for those who love terrifying visual action, and the story is for those who generally like more traditional and “classic” things.

- 1078: Theme: The Bible
- ... is monotheistic. The Lord in the Biblical text is immortal and separate from nature. God uses the word of mouth to create man to tend and till the land that He had created.

(The reason it is trickier is that exchange rate changes are frequently not just the result of a pure changes in ...

- Daniel The book of Daniel has always been a kind of guide and an example for me to use throughout my whole life. I learned about the Bible stories in Daniel when I was very little and I always loved them. They taught me what faith is and how it comes to us in an understandable way. Stories like, "Daniel and the Lions' Den" and "The Three Men in the Fiery Furnace" first taught me what God's word is all about. No matter what age you are, the Bible stories in Daniel will give you a sense of comfort that the Lord is always watching over us.
