Why do we purchase organic goods vs. traditional goods? According to NPR (2016), organics is a $29 billion industry and still growing. If you are thinking that organic produce will help you stay healthier, a new finding may come as a surprise. A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine finds scant evidence of health benefits from organic foods.

The organic gimmick? As we know social media, television, and advertisements play a crucial role in shaping our overall attitude about certain topics; the media and our peer groups are definitely influential.

Gullible are we? Essentially, the media can sell us ice in Alaska, and we continue to buy carelessly.

Given that society is naive to media manipulation, let us revisit the aftereffects of prehistoric events. “Leading into the 1970s, candidates and officials commonly presented issues, and themselves, directly to the voters through the increasing use of television in politics.

As a result, the voters began placing a higher value on the personality and character of candidates and officials. If a voter likes a particular official, like Tommy, then that voter trusts the decisions Tommy makes. This is true even if Tommy is of a different political party affiliation. Rather than researching healthcare reform, the voter trusts that Tommy will make the right decision. The voter’s attitude on how to vote, volunteer and give money is shaped through the media’s coverage of Tommy.” — Ashley Dugger

WHO — What is ISIS?

ISIS = The Implantation of Systematic illusoric Subjugation

ISIS is pseudonymously coined as the ivory tower for all foreign and domestic terrorism. In virtue big brother has capitalizes on the inflation of social anxiety i.e. risk involved with foreign and domestic terrorism. Henceforth, uncustomary social policies will be put into affect to increase gun control, along with permitting the government to invade personal electronics devices without user consent.

In parallel, Julie Hanus the author of Overcoming Fear Culture and Fear Itself (2009), asserts the dangers of modern life have a stranglehold on people’s imaginations. Sociologists call the phenomenon risk society; describing cultures increasingly preoccupied with threats to safety, both real and perceived the culture of fear has influenced radical behavior from patriotic supporters that fear despotism of a foreign government. For instance, “Donald Trump said he would force the people of Mexico to build his vowed border wall to keep immigrants out of the United States, warning that if his order was not fulfilled, he would do something “severe.” — Anna Brand
