In the context of her article, what does Liaugminas mean by "intelligent citizens"? How has the meaning of this term changed from her initial definition of intelligent news consumers? How effective is her call to action using this term?

In the article "How the Media Twists the News," Sheila Gribben Liaugminas explains that "intelligent news consumers" are those who pay attention to the ways in which media presents the news. She argues that being this intelligent consumer means that you realize that not everything you hear is valid, well-researched or unbiased. Moreover, an "intelligent citizen" employs this well-researched information to act in society. I believe that through the use of these two terms, the author makes a strong and valid call to action. She is effective when it comes to explaining that this is a vital task for all citizens. Moreover, she is explicit in how not doing so can affect our society and increase ignorance among the public.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
