"Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.

[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.

[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.

[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?

[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.

[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …

[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.

Select the two sentences that support the argument that television has the potential to have a profound influence on children.
"
Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies." (paragraph 3)

Answer: Based on what i read federal court jurisdictions only hear cases in which the United States is a party, cases involving violations of the Constitution or federal law, crimes on federal land, and bankruptcy cases. Federal courts also hear cases based on state law that involve parties from different states.

Explanation:

An initial trial of a defendant accused of illegally trading with Cuba would be heard by a federal district court. Therefore option D is correct.

The trial courts of the U.S. federal judiciary are the district courts. Each federal judicial district, which covers one U.S. state or, in certain cases, a portion of a state, has one district court. There is at least one courthouse for each district court, and many districts have more than one.

The district courts are the federal court system's general trial courts. A minimum of one United States District Judge is selected by the President and approved by the Senate for a lifetime appointment to each district court. Within the federal court system, district courts preside over both civil and criminal trials.

Hence, An initial trial of a defendant accused of illegally trading with Cuba would be heard by a federal district court.

The correct answer is A) the Allied powers encouraged the formation of the State of Israel.

What resulted from the Allied powers' discovery of the atrocities committed against the Jewish population during the Holocaust was that the Allied powers encouraged the formation of the State of Israel.

When the Allied forces discovered the existence of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, the troops were in shock to witness those atrocities. The Allied Forces immediately decided to free the Jewish people that were found in the camps. They started in Majdanek, in July 1944. The Soviets troops were the first to found the camp.

That is why at the end of the war, Great Britain with the support of the United States decided to grant the Jewish that was the state of Israel in the Palestine territories of the Middle East.

At the start of the twentieth century there were approximately 250,000 Native Americans in the USA – just 0.3 per cent of the population – most living on reservations where they exercised a limited degree of self-government. During the course of the nineteenth century they had been deprived of much of their land by forced removal westwards, by a succession of treaties (which were often not honoured by the white authorities) and by military defeat by the USA as it expanded its control over the American West.  

Explanation:

Answer:

I wrote

"I do not think the government was justified in using these policies; They were treating the Plain Indians horrible after coming into their land and kicking them off, taking their resources as well. They were weakening these tribes and harming their cultures; It was wrong of Americans to think they were better then these people and to treat them so horribly. Forcing them to assimilate into American culture and putting them in reservations was wrong. The policies with allotments were also unjustifiable. "

Answer:

The strategy Germany used to conquer Grance and Poland at the outbreak of World War ll was called blitzkrieg

Explanation:

The blitzkrieg ( war-lighting in German) was a war tactic used by the German army during World War ll.

Germany launched rapid attacks with advanced technology that overwhelmed defending armies such strategy did Nazi Germany use to conquer Poland and France in the early years of World War II. The correct option is B.

As the British blockade threatened to starve Germany out of the war, Germany constructed bigger and larger U-boats to breach it. There were just 20 U-boats in Germany in 1914. It had 140 by 1917, and the U-boats had sunk nearly 30% of all merchant ships in the world.

Nazi Germany used the "blitzkrieg" tactic in the early stages of World War II, which featured the quick movement of troops, tanks, and planes across enemy lines in order to overwhelm the defenders and cause mayhem and confusion. Tanks and aircraft from Germany's sophisticated military technology turned out to be a big advantage. This tactic enabled Germany to swiftly beat France in May-June 1940 and take control of Poland in about four weeks in September 1939.

Thus, the ideal selection is option B.

Answer: (I didn't really understand the table but this is my knowledge on Lincoln, Johnson, and the RRs sorry)

Lincoln:

Abraham Lincoln had thought about the process of restoring the Union

from the earliest days of the war. His guiding principles were to

accomplish the task as rapidly as possible and ignore calls for

punishing the South.

In late 1863, Lincoln announced a formal plan for reconstruction:

1. A general amnesty would be granted to all who would take an

oath of loyalty to the United States and pledge to obey all

federal laws pertaining to slavery

2. High Confederate officials and military leaders were to be

temporarily excluded from the process

3. When one tenth of the number of voters who had participated

in the 1860 election had taken the oath within a particular state,

then that state could launch a new government and elect

representatives to Congress.

Johnson:

The looming showdown between Lincoln and the Congress over

competing reconstruction plans never occurred. The president was

assassinated on April 14, 1865. His successor, Andrew Johnson of

Tennessee, lacked his predecessor’s skills in handling people; those

skills would be badly missed. Johnson’s plan envisioned the following:

• Pardons would be granted to those taking a loyalty oath

• No pardons would be available to high Confederate officials

and persons owning property valued in excess of $20,000

• A state needed to abolish slavery before being readmitted

• A state was required to repeal its secession ordinance before

being readmitted.

Radical Republicans:

The postwar Radical Republicans were motivated by three main

factors:

1. Revenge — a desire among some to punish the South for

causing the war

2. Concern for the freedmen — some believed that the federal

government had a role to play in the transition of freedmen

from slavery to freedom

3. Political concerns — the Radicals wanted to keep the

Republican Party in power in both the North and the South.

On the political front, the Republicans wanted to maintain their

wartime agenda, which included support for:

• Protective tariffs

• Pro-business national banking system

• Liberal land policies for settlers

• Federal aid for railroad development
