Enormous changes taking place in our society make it both possible and urgently necessary to advance the unfinished revolution of women toward true equality, now. With a life span lengthened to nearly 75 years it is no longer either necessary or possible for women to devote the greater part of their lives to child-rearing; yet childbearing and rearing—which continues to be a most important part of most women's lives—still is used to justify barring women from equal professional and economic participation and advance. Which response best describes the relationship Friedan notes between life expectancy and equality? The National Organization for Women's 1966 Statement of Purpose The bulk of women's lives is no longer spent having and raising children, so there is no excuse to keep them from developing careers. Childbearing is still the most important part of women's lives, so women use their longer lives to continue to support their adult children. Longer lives are allowing women more time to advocate for women's equality, so their position in society is improving. Increased women's equality in society has improved women's mental and physical health, extending their lives by decades.
The bulk of women's lives is no longer spent having and raising children, so there is no excuse to keep them from developing careers.
It is impossible to consider today's press as truly objective in the face of so much evidence to the contrary, despite the profession's claims that objectivity is its highest goal. It is the failure to own up to this inherent bias that is most concerning. As always, most news sources subtly, or not so subtly, influence the news that the public is given. The question is, do people realize it? Lippman believed that the role of journalists was to interpret the news for the public so that individuals could make real choices and judgments based on the information that they were given. The public, consumed by daily life, might simply assume that information is neutral and unbiased. However, American journalism remains plagued by the same array of hidden and not so hidden agendas evident since revolutionary times. The fact that ordinary people may not notice—or, more specifically, care—is the truer threat to democracy. How effective is the author's support of the claim that the press is not always objective? Bias in the Media/Participatory Journalism in the 21st Century The support is not effective, because the author relies on only Lippmann as a source of information to support the claim, without considering any facts or examples from other reliable sources. The support is not effective, because the author does not explain the agreement or disagreement with Lippman's ideas related to the claim about preference in the media handling of news. The support is effective, because the author relies on the expertise of Lippman and conveys Lippman's experiences to show how the press is biased and not objective. The support is effective, because the author uses both opinions and provable facts from a reliable source to show how the press is biased and not objective.
The support is not effective, because the author relies on only Lippmann as a source of information to support the claim, without considering any facts or examples from other reliable sources.
Read Betty Friedan's essay "The National Organization for Women's 1966 Statement of Purpose." Which excerpt most clearly identifies a conclusion of Friedan's argument? The National Organization for Women's 1966 Statement of Purpose To this end, we urge American government and industry to mobilize the same resources of ingenuity and command with which they have solved problems of far greater difficulty than those now impeding the progress of women. In all the professions considered of importance to society, and in the executive ranks of industry and government, women are losing ground. We realize that women's problems are linked to many broader questions of social justice; their solution will require concerted action by many groups. WE DO NOT ACCEPT the token appointment of a few women to high-level positions in government and industry as a substitute for serious continuing effort to recruit and advance women according to their individual abilities.
To this end, we urge American government and industry to mobilize the same resources of ingenuity and command with which they have solved problems of far greater difficulty than those now impeding the progress of women.
The issue of the water quality in Echo Lake is of grave concern to our community. Test results show dangerous levels of algae, which is caused by pollution from common household chemicals.

In "US Supreme Court: Riley v. California," which fact helped the court determine that this case's search and seizure was unreasonable? US Supreme Court: Riley v. California Cell phones do not pose an immediate physical threat to police officers; therefore, this search and seizure action was a violation of Fourth Amendment rights. Police officers had no initial reason to search the suspect's car, which means they deprived the defendant of his Miranda rights. Police officers did not legally obtain a search warrant for the car, which means they could never have used their findings as admissible evidence. Guns found in a car do not pose an immediate physical threat to police officers; therefore, this search and seizure action was a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
Cell phones do not pose an immediate physical threat to police officers; therefore, this search and seizure action was a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.

Individual citizens should have the power and the voice to limit the control of government.
Each citizen is empowered by individual freedoms and rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause, because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men are unfit to be both judges and parties at the same time; yet what are many of the most important acts of legislation, but so many judicial determinations, not indeed concerning the rights of single persons, but concerning the rights of large bodies of citizens? And what are the different classes of legislators but advocates and parties to the causes which they determine? Is a law proposed concerning private debts? It is a question to which the creditors are parties on one side and the debtors on the other. Justice ought to hold the balance between them. Yet the parties are, and must be, themselves the judges; and the most numerous party, or, in other words, the most powerful faction must be expected to prevail. Shall domestic manufactures be encouraged, and in what degree, by restrictions on foreign manufactures? are questions which would be differently decided by the landed and the manufacturing classes, and probably by neither with a sole regard to justice and the public good. The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling with which they overburden the inferior number, is a shilling saved to their own pockets. Which response best describes the conclusion of Madison's argument? The Federalist No. 10 If citizens vote on policies that affect them, they will likely vote for policies that help them, not those that are good for the nation as a whole. If citizens must vote on policies that affect them, a strong culture of patriotism will help encourage them to vote for the good of all citizens. Citizens who will be directly affected by the potential changes caused by controversial issues should not vote. The elite heads of industry who understand controversial issues should make decisions through compromise.
If citizens vote on policies that affect them, they will likely vote for policies that help them, not those that are good for the nation as a whole.
Consider the ideas of Walter Lippman, one of the most influential journalists of the 20th century. Beginning his career as a reporter, Lippman later became a speechwriter, a magazine and newspaper editor, an author, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and one of the most widely respected political journalists in the world. Lippman was born in 1889 and so came of age as a journalist as World War I unfolded. He became disillusioned with what he saw as the "error, illusion, and misinterpretation" of news reporting during war time. He critiqued the tendency of the press to present propaganda as truth and referred to this practice as the "manufacture of consent." Which option best explains how inductive reasoning is used to convey the argument that journalists were engaging in the "manufacture of consent"? Bias in the Media/Participatory Journalism in the 21st Century Inductive reasoning is used to show what Walter Lippman discovered based on his observations of "error, illusion, and misinterpretation" in the reporting of news. Inductive reasoning is used to show how Walter Lippman went through the process of analyzing explanations until only one explanation remained about "error, illusion, and misinterpretation" in the reporting of news. Inductive reasoning is used to show how Walter Lippman noted other causes in society of the press's tendency to "present propaganda as truth." Inductive reasoning is used to show how Walter Lippman found evidence to support his interpretation that the press had a tendency to "present propaganda as truth."
Inductive reasoning is used to show what Walter Lippman discovered based on his observations of "error, illusion, and misinterpretation" in the reporting of news.

This treaty must of course be laid before both Houses, because both have important functions to exercise respecting it. They, I presume, will see their duty to their country in ratifying & paying for it, so as to secure a good which would otherwise probably be never again in their power. But I suppose they must then appeal to the nation for an additional article to the Constitution, approving & confirming an act which the nation had not previously authorized. The constitution has made no provision for our holding foreign territory, still less for incorporating foreign nations into our Union. The Executive in seizing the fugitive occurrence which so much advances the good of their country, have done an act beyond the Constitution. The Legislature in casting behind them metaphysical subtleties, and risking themselves like faithful servants, must ratify & pay for it, and throw themselves on their country for doing for them unauthorized what we know they would have done for themselves had they been in a situation to do it. It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; & saying to him when of age, I did this for your good; I pretend to no right to bind you: you may disavow me, and I must get out of the scrape as I can: I thought it my duty to risk myself for you. But we shall not be disavowed by the nation, and their act of indemnity will confirm & not weaken the Constitution, by more strongly marking out its lines. In the excerpt, President Jefferson is telling Attorney General Breckinridge that the Legislative Branch of the government should look over the treaty of the Louisiana Purchase. How effectively does President Jefferson apply the constitutional principle of checks and balances to help convey his perspective? The Louisiana Purchase/Letter to John C. Breckinridge Jefferson applies the principle of checks and balances effectively because he recognizes that any factors affecting the fair distribution of the newly acquired land need to be passed through all branches of government. Jefferson applies the principle of checks and balances ineffectively because he references the articles in the Constitution in general terms but does not cite specific amendments that would hinder fair distribution of the newly acquired land. Jefferson applies the principle of checks and balances effectively because he thinks that limiting the power of the three branches of government is the key to a successful treaty and fair distribution of the newly acquired land. Jefferson applies the principle of checks and balances ineffectively because he wants to give Congress the sole power to reject the treaty he had signed without their consent as he plans for fair distribution of the newly acquired land.
Jefferson applies the principle of checks and balances effectively because he recognizes that any factors affecting the fair distribution of the newly acquired land need to be passed through all branches of government.
Today, print newspapers and television news are just one static part of the information puzzle. Online news, whether it is from a newspaper, a tweet, or a blog, provides instant updates and adjustments as events unfold. No longer are individuals passive consumers of news. People can now offer opinions on issues, contribute to specific news stories, and choose which news sites they frequent and how often they consume the news. People have more power than ever to control the type of information they receive in order to make sense of a complex and ever-changing world. Which response best explains how the author uses deductive reasoning to strengthen the argument that in the information age, both the press and their audience create journalism? Bias in the Media/Participatory Journalism in the 21st Century The author makes a series of logical conclusions to prove that "individuals are no longer passive consumers of news." The author infers a pattern of a more active society based on the observation that "individuals are no longer passive consumers of news." The author analyzes the causes of the modern phenomenon in which "individuals are no longer passive consumers of news." The author highlights the contrast between previous times and a time when "individuals are no longer passive consumers of news."
The author makes a series of logical conclusions to prove that "individuals are no longer passive consumers of news."

WE DO NOT ACCEPT the token appointment of a few women to high-level positions in government and industry as a substitute for serious continuing effort to recruit and advance women according to their individual abilities. To this end, we urge American government and industry to mobilize the same resources of ingenuity and command with which they have solved problems of far greater difficulty than those now impeding the progress of women. How do the underlying assumptions in the excerpt potentially weaken Friedan's overall argument? The National Organization for Women's 1966 Statement of Purpose The statement that American government and industry have solved far more difficult problems misleadingly implies that the solution to the problem of women's inequality can be easily implemented. The idea that American government and industry have already exercised ingenuity and command to solve other problems misleadingly implies that gender equality is the only real problem left to solve. The statement that women already occupy some high-level positions in government and industry shows that the actions she is advocating are unnecessary. The idea that the government has appointed women to high-level positions as a substitute for any real action on gender equality is illogical and inaccurate.
The statement that American government and industry have solved far more difficult problems misleadingly implies that the solution to the problem of women's inequality can be easily implemented.
On the contrary, it is wrong to believe that mainstream media has ever achieved true objectivity. Throughout American history, the press has been used as a political tool and as a way to promote particular points of view. For instance, prior to the American Revolution, revolutionary leaders such as Benjamin Franklin used emerging colonial newspapers to rally citizens to the cause of independence. Newspapers, including Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette, published political cartoons, news stories hostile to the British, and editorials clearly promoting revolution. In fact, newspapers were one of the primary tools in garnering support for independence from Britain. While the cause may have been noble, the newspapers were clearly a tool of persuasion rather than an objective chronicle of the day's events. This theme continues throughout American history. When John Adams was president, he signed the Sedition Act, a law that made it illegal to publish information that was overly critical of the president or Congress. When Thomas Jefferson was running for president he gave money to newspapers that would support him. Even during Abraham Lincoln's presidency, the government effectively shut down anti-Union newspapers by banning them from mail distribution. A warrant implied by the author in the excerpt is that media should be impartial, purely reporting facts with no personal perspectives or opinions. Based on Toulmin's Model, which option best evaluates how this warrant supports the author's argument? Bias in the Media/Participatory Journalism in the 21st Century The warrant is only somewhat effective; if the audience does not accept or understand the warrant that is implied, then the audience will not accept the argument that bias in the media is widespread and a danger to accurate reporting of news. The warrant is completely ineffective; since it is unlikely that the audience will accept the warrant due to its ambiguity, the audience will not be persuaded to believe the argument that the media is biased only in politics and war. The warrant is mostly effective; some Americans will have trouble identifying bias, so the warrant persuades only the part of the audience that understands bias, leading some to disagree with the argument that the media is biased only in politics and war. The warrant is highly effective; all Americans believe in a free press, so the warrant helps persuade the audience to accept the argument that bias in the media is widespread and a danger to accurate reporting of news.

Man (when he is a North American Indian) gouges out his prisoners' eyes; when he is King John, with a nephew to render untroublesome, he uses a red-hot iron; when he is a religious zealot dealing with heretics in the Middle Ages, he skins his captive alive and scatters salt on his back; in the first Richard's time he shuts up a multitude of Jew families in a tower and sets fire to it; in Columbus's time he captures a family of Spanish Jews and (but that is not printable; in our day in England a man is fined ten shillings for beating his mother nearly to death with a chair, and another man is fined forty shillings for having four pheasant eggs in his possession without being able to satisfactorily explain how he got them). Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. It is a trait that is not known to the higher animals. The cat plays with the frightened mouse; but she has this excuse, that she does not know that the mouse is suffering. The cat is moderate (unhumanly moderate: she only scares the mouse, she does not hurt it; she doesn't dig out its eyes, or tear off its skin, or drive splinters under its nails) man-fashion; when she is done playing with it she makes a sudden meal of it and puts it out of its trouble. Man is the Cruel Animal. He is alone in that distinction. In the excerpt, Twain states the claim that "Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel." How effectively does Twain use evidence to support his argument? The Damned Human Race Twain effectively uses evidence to support his claim, because he lists many examples of man's unnecessary cruelty so that Twain can build a more persuasive case that humans have the capacity to enjoy hurting others. Twain ineffectively uses evidence to support his claim, because while he lists many examples of man's unnecessary cruelty, he provides little variety and cannot build a persuasive case that people can be evil in any place and time. Twain ineffectively uses evidence to support his claim, because while he describes the cat playing with the mouse to illustrate that animals hunt in this way for survival, he provides only one example and does not build a case that proves this is true for all animals. Twain effectively uses evidence to support his claim, because he describes the cat playing with the mouse in order to appropriately illustrate that moral issues are not completely clear, and that no human or animal is all good or all evil.
Twain effectively uses evidence to support his claim, because he lists many examples of man's unnecessary cruelty so that Twain can build a more persuasive case that humans have the capacity to enjoy hurting others.

The higher animals engage in individual fights, but never in organized masses. Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and with calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out, as the Hessians did in our Revolution, and as the boyish Prince Napoleon did in the Zulu war, and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel. Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country, takes possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession of its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, cycle after cycle, by force and bloodshed. In the excerpt, Twain provides reasons that only mankind organizes armies and wages wars to highlight his main claim that _[blank]_. Which option best completes the statement?

I find this Defect to be the Moral Sense. He is the only animal that has it. It is the secret of his degradation. It is the quality which enables him to do wrong. It has no other office. It is incapable of performing any other function. It could never have been intended to perform any other. Without it, man could do no wrong. He would rise at once to the level of the Higher Animals. Causal reasoning in the excerpt allows Twain to _[blank]_. Which option best completes the statement?

The future inhabitants of the Atlantic & Missipi States will be our sons. We leave them in distinct but bordering establishments. We think we see their happiness in their union, & we wish it. Events may prove it otherwise; and if they see their interest in separation, why should we take side with our Atlantic rather than our Missipi descendants? It is the elder and the younger son differing. God bless them both, & keep them in union, if it be for their good, but separate them, if it be better. The inhabited part of Louisiana, from Point Coupee to the sea, will of course be immediately a territorial government, and soon a State. But above that, the best use we can make of the country for some time, will be to give establishments in it to the Indians on the East side of the Missipi, in exchange for their present country, and open land offices in the last & thus make this acquisition the means of filling up the Eastern side, instead of drawing off it's population. Jefferson incorporates the constitutional principle of popular sovereignty to consider _[blank]_. Which option best completes the statement? The Louisiana Purchase/Letter to John C. Breckinridge the rights of the people living in these areas the limited power the government should have in these areas the equal power all people will have based on the Constitution the rights of the Indians living in the new lands
the rights of the people living in these areas
