Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe was a book targeting all kinds of discriminations. The influence that book had on its readers is immeasurable. In the heat of the racial tension in 19^th century, Harriet Beecher Stowe depicted the hardships and sufferings that slaves had to endure.

When the flu strikes somewhere in the little country somewhere in the Middle America, residents can either drive for about an hour to see the nearest physician or instead they can address the local registered nurse with the correspondent training who runs an independent clinic. A well-qualified nurse is able to diagnose and treat most common diseases and health problems. In the last years, the number of nurse practitioners that run their private health establishments have been increasing. The popularity of the last group is caused by the fact that they are available to provide health care in areas where doctors are unavailable. They also are taking less serious cases where physicians’ interference is not necessary.

The ethics in photojournalism has been a subject for concern

The ethics in photojournalism has been a subject for concern for rather long time. Photojournalism is the profession, where photo editors and journalists make images carrying messages expressed through different media types, such as television and newspapers.

Often media critics and some audience representatives question some of the images, for example some of the celebrities photos, picture manipulations that show misleading views, visual messages that perpetuate negative stereotypes of individuals from various multicultural groups, and images that blur the distinction between advertising and photojournalism.

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel”; “Another postmodern sunset, rich in romantic imagery… We stood there watching a surge of florid light, like a heart pumping in a documentary on color TV.” Everybody will recognize these famous passages. They can be found in White Noise in the third section of the novel called “Dylarama” (227). A strange title for the novel, but not illegible, especially if one recalls “Waves and Radiation,” and “The Airborne Toxic Event,” as DeLillo entitles the previous parts. “Dylarama” combines “Dylar” and horama. “Dylar” is the type of medication that is supposed to counter the fear of death; it is a pill that is developed with volunteers help like Babetter, Jack Gladney’s wife.
