What are the advantages of television as a socialization agent?

Television
can be used to socialize children. Television reaches a wide audience. Most people have some
kind of access to cable and satellite television, and if one does not, one can always watch
network television that is streamed for free. Most families have a television regardless of
their income.

Television shows are also relatively short. This is important
in that children's attention spans are often short. Most of a television show's storyline can be
finished in thirty minutes or less. Many shorter children's cartoons often have two complete
stories, with each one lasting fifteen minutes. A lot of children's programming teaches values
such as hard work, honesty, and caring. Though the children do not realize it, they soon start
to internalize these values.

Television also does not involve the constant
attention of parents. Parents can used television as a "babysitter," as many children
can sit enraptured by the programming. Though television is not a substitute for active
parenting, it can be used as a reward for children or to give busy parents a break. Given the
right programming, children can learn passively through television. Some of the newer television
programs have the main characters address the children directly, thus giving the children
opportunities to be participants in the show.

Television, if used correctly,
can transfer many societal values to children. Children can learn about friendship, sharing, and
responsibility before they ever start school. Good children's television is important, and its
value should not be overlooked when it comes to raising well-rounded
children.

Is there any irony in A Raisin in the Sun?

Mr.
Lindner's visit to the Younger house is an example of dramatic and situationalin
. Once the neighborhood learns of Mama's intentions in purchasing a house
in their neighborhood, Mr. Linder arrives as a representative of Clybourne Park's Welcoming
Committee to let the family know about their new neighborhood.

I am from the Clybourne Park Improvement Association and we have had it brought to our
attention at the last meeting that you peopleor at least your motherhas bought a piece of
residential property.

Clybourne Park is an all white
neighborhood, and though he arrives saying he's come to welcome the Younger family to the
neighborhood, it becomes clear to the audience his visit is not about making them feel welcomed
(dramatic irony). He trips over his words and stutters as he tries to explain the reason for his
visit.

What main point does Edwards want his listeners to understand?

Confronted
in a Colonial setting where materialism and commerce began to supplant zealous religious
worship, thinkers like Edwards were confronted with a disturbing reality.  The mishap of justice
through the Salem Witch Trials also helped to decrease the passion of religious worship
throughout the colonies.  In response to this waning was the Great Awakening.  The premise of
this movement was that the Colonial lack of intensity regarding religion had made God angry, and
this anger could only be abated with consistent and driven spiritual worship.  Thinkers like
Edwards used large outdoor revivals as setting to raise the awareness of the audience as to how
they have sinned in the eyes of God and how these transgressions have made God angry and this
form of anger will result in a display of Biblical and cataclysmic proportions.  The main point
of these sermons, most famous being "," was for individuals to recant and change their
ways and move from a commercial based frame of reference into a religious one to provide meaning
into their lives.  It also served to make men like Edwards assume power as the moral center or
leader throughout these individuals' lives.

What does Odysseus learn from his conversation with Achilles?

In book
11, Odysseus and his men sail to Oceanus, where they proceed to make sacrifices in order to meet
the shades of death. After Odysseus speaks with the shade of Teiresias, who instructs him to
leave Helios's cattle unharmed, he meets the shade of Achilles. Odysseus initially attempts to
comfort Achilles by commenting on his revered legacy, but Achilles responds by saying that he
would rather be a slave than remain among the dead. Achilles then asks Odysseus about his family
and comments on his desire to defend his father against people who disrespect Peleus's
home.

Odysseus responds by telling Achilles that his son, Neoptolemus,
fought bravely in battle and played a significant role in their victory over Troy. After
Achilles listens to Odysseus elaborate on his son's exploits, his shade swiftly moves away,
rejoicing and celebrating his son. Through Odysseus's interaction with Achilles, he discovers
that the underworld is an awful place where comfort and pleasure do not exist. From...
