Practice Essay (pretty incomplete)

The truth is that people living in urban and suburban communities are greatly affected by all forms of media. It should be known that media are just different forms of mass communication. For thousands of years, the forte humans have always had over other animals has been our abillity to exchange and process thoughts, and develop new ideas based on these thoughts. Although times have changed the way people communicate, the way that people develop and grow are through the same basic means.

History has proven this to be true during the Vietnam war when a new form of media was first being developed on a large scale: the television. For the first time ever, the horrors of war could be seen from a first person point of view, and the masses were shocked. This helped the Vietnam ear to coin the nickname, "the televised war". This was one of the reasons so many people were opposed to the war. This is just an example of how media has influenced the thoughts of many.



Umm, yeah, that's kind of all I wrote. Seriously this is all I wrote. Pretty bad huh? Should I have finished it? I'm a pretty slow writer too, so yeah, I'll blame it on my slow writing.

I think we all need to just stick to the formats which make it possible to get 6's on the essay which Mr. Watson told to us.

It's hard writing on a topic which is forced upon us.
