The Mass Media

Analysis of two national data sets reveals that African-Americans in general know less about how the mass media operate, see fewer outside influences on the media, see themselves as having less influence on the media and are less cynical about the media than are whites. African-Americans who have the most contact with the dominant white society do evaluate the media as being more biased, compared with those with less contact with white people. Blacks and whites alike judged the news media to be influenced by advertisers, big business, unions and to be influenced by the two major political parties. If many news media are part of large corporations, this fact has not gone unnoticed by audiences, fairly or not.

Care System

In both Latvia and in many other countries, E-health is an already existing and functioning health care system that has also brought many problems and unclear answers to many issues of public interest. It is therefore urgent and important to look at the key features of this system and the specifics of the operation to determine how the existing situation can be rectified, which is not as brilliant as it was planned in the mass media and other sources. The research objective is to analyze the main steps of the E-health system, identify existing gaps, problems and offer concrete solutions. Research tasks include analyzing the concept of E-health; study the historical development of E-health; to consider the order of issuing the recipe.

Physical Features

This study explores how discrimination based on differences in skin complexion and physical characteristics among African-Americans is conveyed by the mass media. A content analysis of advertisements and editorial photographs appearing in black and mainstream magazines from 1989 through 1994 shows that blacks in advertisements have lighter complexions and more caucasian features than those in editorial photographs. Black females in advertisements are lighter than their male counterparts.
