Four (4) Reasons for the Media Agenda-setting Role in the State

INTRO : The influence of the media on the perception of the people on public issues is empirically verifiable, and well-documented. As far back as 1922, Walter Lippman, a  newspaper columnist was concerned that the media had the power to present images to the public. Little wonder why  Bernard Cohen in 1963 observed that the press "may not be successful much of the time in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about.” The empirical confirmation of the truism of the Lippman’s 1922 position came only in 1968 when during the Chapel Hill Study, published in  Public Opinion Quarterly ,  Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw studied the 1968 American presidential election and demonstrated a strong correlation coefficient (r > .9) between what 100 residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina thought was the most important election issue and what the local and national news media reported was the most important is...

Six (6) Reasons against Abortion

INTRO: Abortion has been defined as the accidental or deliberate destruction of pregnancy before the birth is due. Several reasons have been floated in support of abortion; most of them are medical while others are social. Some of the reasons for abortion include: Abnormal progress of pregnancies, fetal abnormalities, maternal medical conditions, unwillingness to be a single mother, pregnancy resulting from rape, child abuse or incest, etc. The one million dollar question here is, are the reasons reasonable? The answer is negative and monosyllabic. Deliberate abortions can never be justified judging from the moral and medical reasons listed below: 11.

The Fifth Commandment we all know is quite vocal on this: “Thou shall not kill.” As an abortionist, there is no difference between you and a convicted mu...

Three (3) Reasons for the Proof of the Existence of God

INTRO: God is a spirit. Nobody has seen him face to face. This has cast doubt about His existence in the minds of the people. Some people that believed, later began to falter in their belief in the existence of God because of their various life experience. I was once among the latter group until recently when I found reasons that proved the existence of God to me. They are as follows: 1) Duality of Life: I observed our world and found out that there were two sides of virtually everything in it - day and night, black and white, man and woman, birth and death, good and bad, and now, God and Satan. Majority of the people that don't believe in God, believe in the reality of Satan because they see magicians for instance employing satanic powers in a broad day light to pull their stunts, and evil ones using it to destroy their targets at will. Going by the duality of life, at the polar opposite of the satanic powers sits the power of God; therefore, there is God. 2) Orderlin...

Countries such as Brazil moved her capital city from Rio de Janeiro to the built-for-the-purpose Brasilia in 1961; Kazakhstan moved from Almaty to Astana in 1997; and Cote d'Ivoire moved from Abijan to Yamoussoukro in 1983.
