Referred to as the 4thestate, media plays a key role in societal development and governance. The 4thestate terms is derived from the fact that there are three arms of government namely legislature, judiciary and the executive. Media is hence seen as the fourth arm playing the watchdog role in society. Media is independent and the freedom of the media is enshrined and guaranteed by the constitution. However, there is also media law which governs and regulates the manner in which media operates. In this discussion some of the issues discussed include media freedom and the law that governs such freedom.

The Constitution of Canada establishes the roles and responsibilities of Canada's federal government and its subnational governments (provinces and territories). The paper will discuss the impact of the Canadian federal government on the relationship between businesses and the government in this country. In this essay, I shall consider Canadian federalism and its impact on cross-border trade and how it has affected various government relations. The area of focus will be Ontario province which is located in Eastern Canada near the border. The reason for choosing this province as the main case study is because of its strategic position which is near the border of the USA.

After watching the video “In Defense of Rhetoric” I noted that rhetoric is the technique of using language effectively. It is the day-to-use of language to express ourselves and persuade others. It helps us to be more conscious of our language and enhances our communication and presentation skills. Rhetoric helps us to know who our audience is and how to address them in order to achieve the result that we desire. I think that the use of rhetoric in our daily communication is essential in the job market. It happens in our daily life as it is used in communication when we want someone to believe, understand or agree with us be it in public speaking, in a small group, or when addressing our friends.

Prior to modernization and civilization, people were based in the rural areas. Activities such as farming and livestock grazing were the main sources of income. With modernization however, cities began to come up. As would be expected of any growth is that opportunities begun to sprout. People were needed to work in the newly built factories and industries in the city, job opportunities were now available. This saw a migration of people from rural areas to the cities. Perhaps not anticipating the large number of people who would move in search of jobs, the cities rapidly became densely populated.

Southwest Asia also known as the Near East was first recorded during archaeology’s formative development. It is one of the areas believed to be productive in terms of agriculture. The study will present the reasons why agriculture developed in Southwest Asia. Several pieces of evidence indicate that places like Levanta dated in 9000 B.C gives the first evidence of plant domestication (Karlovsky & Sabloff, 1995). One of the reasons why this happened is due to the disequilibrium in hunting and gathering that was brought by either environmental change or demographic stress.

In the article, Theory of Mind in Schizophrenia, the authors focused on assessing the magnitude of the theory of mind or mentalising and analysing the associated factors as they relate to schizophrenia. According to the author, the theory of mind or mentalising refers to the cognitive ability usually associated with attributing mental states like beliefs and intentions to people, which allows an individual to be able to manipulate, explain, and predict behavior. The theory of mind and its relationship with schizophrenia was proposed by Frith in 1992, whereby he argued that mentalising impairment could help in explaining various symptoms of schizophrenia.

Rodney Cluff is the author of the piece, World Top Secret: Our Earth Is Hollow. He originally published the piece in Sun City, Arizona, USA. Raymond Bernard’s article titled, The Hollow Earth motivated Mr. Cluff to work on the piece's publication. In addition, Cluff's childhood passion for religion and Earth influenced the piece's publication. The piece communicates that the audience is interested in earth and religion (science) topics. The piece may appear ridiculous to the audience before they can see it. The author originally published the piece in 2014; a revised edition was published in 2020.

Tyler, Murnane, and Willett(2000) research the role of (General Education Development) GED in labor market signaling. They analyze whether GED correlates with the wages and salaries earned in the labor market. In their research, they categorize the workers as either white and non-Hispanics, the majority, and the minority, which is made up of Hispanics, African Americans, and others. A GED is a high school credential equivalent that is a second chance for high school dropouts (Tyler, Murnane, & Willett,2000). The variation will see the signaling value of GED of the stringency in different states. An experiment will determine whether those who attain identical GED scores but with different status signals are similar.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many organizations went through a hurdle trying to market their products to their consumers. However, many failed due to a lack of proper advertisement strategies. Savor PR Agency is one of the companies that survived the crisis due to the innovative approaches they used during the period. One of the strategies applied by the company was carrying out giveaways i.e., by giving guests one night of beer and food bliss. It is one of the ways that companies can implement to portray uniqueness in their adverts. I argue that advertising sameness is not a better solution during the pandemic period.
