...What characteristics does each speaker possess? Use Chapter 5 in Persuasion: Social Influence and Compliance Gaining (Gass & Seiter, 2013) to form your answer. “About 40% of the nation's 180 million people tuned into the "Great Debates" of 1960, a series of four televised matchups between Kennedy and Nixon.” (CNN) The historical television event “gave politicians the chance to address millions of people at once. About 90% of Americans could access television and its three major networks by 1960.” This platform was beneficial to voters, because each candidate possessed unique qualities that could possibly capture viewer’s attention. Each candidate used different tatics to connect with voters. Senator Kennedy arrived in a well-tailored gray suit. He appeared confident, and quite relaxed. Kennedy opened the debate with a bold vision for the future; equal rights for all and a competitive...

...When America was first discovered, it was very much an unsettled land. There was no centralized government, no real established culture, and no official identity. Thus, it became the perfect place for people who were looking to start over. Many of the early settlers were younger brothers who hoped to claim the land that they could not inherit, religious pilgrims who hoped to be able to practice their beliefs, and floundering businessmen who hoped to create a fortune in a new land. What they all had in common was the idea that they could become something better, that in this empty land they could carve their lives into some fantastic image in their minds. Eventually, the ability to do big things in this country warped into the expectation to do something big with one’s opportunity in America. (And by “do something big”, it is meant that it is something big on societal terms.) This is the ideal that eventually became an important part of American culture. It resulted in entire generations growing up learning to measure their lives as the distance from where they were to some far off point in the horizon where they felt they should be. The late twentieth century showed the consequences of this kind of thinking. Due to a period of rapid technological and social change, America underwent a massive transformation in lifestyle. Thus, much of what had been built became obsolete, and the generation that spent their lives trying to become something suddenly found their entire life’s...

C: quinhydrone electrode Equipment and chemicals: Chemicals: 7 aqueous solutions with different pH, distilled water Equipment for task A: The potentiometer for the measurement of the electromotoric force, cell with the hydrogen and calomel electrodes, hydrogen gas in the steel cylinder with valve and manometers, thermometer, beakers, filtering paper An electrochemical cell (Fig. 7-1, p. 7-38) includes: hydrogen electrode with the platinized platinum (1) placed inside of tube connected with the hydrogen gass valve (1). Saturated calomel electrode (3) is used as the reference electrode. Electrodes are immersed in the measured solution (2). For storage, hydrogen electrode should be kept in distilled water, and the calomel electrode in the saturated KCl solution. It is necessary to prevent the sensitive parts of electrodes from drying out. Procedure: Manipulation with the hydrogen gas valve is allowed to the instructor only, or under his supervision! 1. Take off electrodes from the storage solution (shift them vertically up without leaving the holder). Rinse them with distilled water, and dry gently with filtering paper. 2.
