Tiggemann and Pickering (1996) assert that mass media contribute to the formation of opinions about what an ideal woman looks like, thus, affecting how the younger generation view the subject as ...

Analysis

As noted in the introduction, the author of this report is not trying to sway anyone’s minds when it comes to whether global warming exists or not. Based on the totality of what is coming out in the press and the science community, the planet probably is warming and humans are probably at least a small (if not a major) factor in all of the above. However, some of the talking heads, “scientists”, politicians and other people in the global warming/climate paradigm are acting extremely suspiciously and/or in an obtuse or irresponsible way. The author of this report is happy ...
