of entertainment with a main goal of serving their
ratings rather than serving the people. It would
seem that Postman would agree with this theory
since he describes electronic media as a form of
entertainment rather than a reliable source of
information and facts in his book Amusing
Ourselves to Death. Lets star...

passion. It was believed that the human being was
a mixture of both the angel and the animal, thus

human being. The angel was representative of all
