The media's role in international terrorism
Terrorism, like propaganda, is a form of persuasive communication. Like propaganda, it is a pejorative term. Some have referred to it as propaganda of the deed. It is hard to define because its definition depends on whether one agrees with the message. If one does, neither propaganda nor terrorism is the term that is normally used to describe such activity. After considering various definitions and examples of what is and is not terrorism, this p…
The Genealogy of Public Opinion Polling
Public opinion polling has a long pedigree, and wars, politics, business, and humanitarianism have all been incentives to its development. Its ancestry includes philosophers and social scientists who contributed to the definition of public opinion, which had to be conceptualized before it could be measured. Landowners and social reformers are among those who worked on the methods of social surveys. Journalists, psychologists, and sociologists con…

DNA repair maintains genomic stability and the loss of DNA repair capacity results in genetic instability that may lead to a decline of cellular function. Adult stem cells are extremely important in the long-term maintenance of tissues throughout life. They regenerate and renew tissues in response to damage and replace senescent terminally differentiated cells that no longer function. Oxidative stress, toxic byproducts, reduced mitochondrial func…

Recent Theory on Mass Media Potential in Political Campaigns
Scientific study, especially since the 1940s, has shown that the conventional wisdom regarding the power of the press requires qualification. For about 20 or 30 years before 1960, communication researchers studied the effects of the mass media in their laboratories, but they were disappointed by the contradictory findings and their inability to replicate them in natural, uncontrolled surroundings. A reversal of their model, so that it is not the …
Effectiveness of International Propaganda
Propaganda is persuasive communication, as are advertising, education, and political campaigning. Propa ganda differs from the latter in source, purpose, and target. Most of the international activity that goes by the name of propaganda, however, is not persuasive communication but is what the author refers to as facilitative communication. The latter is effective if and when it opens up channels of communi cation with a potential audience. Persu…
