Answer:
Social media are among the primary sources of news in the U.S. and across the world. Yet users are exposed to content of questionable accuracy, including conspiracy theories, clickbait, hyperpartisan content, pseudo science, and even fabricated “fake news” reports.
It’s not surprising that there’s so much disinformation published: Spam and online fraud are lucrative for criminals, and government and political propaganda yield both partisan and financial benefits. But the fact that low-credibility content spreads so quickly and easily suggests that people and the algorithms behind social media platforms are vulnerable to manipulation.
As AI's reach grows, the stakes will only get higher. ... by algorithms: what we see (or don't see) in our news and social media ... Consider a recent write-up in Wired, which illustrated how dating app algorithms reinforce bias.
Other algorithms on social media may reinforce stereotypes and preferences as they process and display "relevant" data for human users, for example, by selecting information based on previous choices of a similar user or group of users. Beyond assembling and processing data, bias can emerge as a result of design.
Your teacher has selected a program for your senior high school course why a letter to him explaining why you prefer a different course
Dear teacher.
I would like to thank you for your dedication in finding courses that complement our academic training. Know that your work is very much appreciated by me and everyone who has the honor of working with you. However, I would like to ask if there is a possibility that this course will be exchanged.
Although you have made a good choice, I believe that the selected course does not have the amount of hours necessary for students to complete the curriculum, in addition, when reading the syllabus, the course seemed somewhat outdated compared to similar courses in the Marketplace.
As I know that you are concerned about our growth, I decided to make this request and I believe that you will take it into account.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely.
W. C. Lean.
Please help ASAP! You don't have to answer all of the questions, even one question is very much appreciated.

Is it important to wear uniform for university students? if agree or disagree prove your answers within 250-300 words
Explanation:
In my opinion, the use of uniforms for university students is not important. The central function of a uniform is the identification of its students, which can be important for high school and elementary students, for their own safety, since as they are minors this is a greater support that the student belongs to a school.
University students, on the other hand, should not have the obligation to wear a uniform, this should be a right of choice, since it can influence a young person's individuality and their right to express themselves.
Most college students also go to work and then classes in college, and they usually need to wear uniforms in their jobs, so there is also the question of time, which would be a negative aspect of mandatory uniform use.

Explanation:
How does Star Wars fall under the space opera genre? Give no less then three examples please.
Star Wars is called a space opera because that’s the name of the genre. I understand that its a circular answer it that level because it does not explain how the space opera genre got its name.
Space operas have stories with showy drama that is very shallow when analyzed. There are good good guys, bad bad guys and no one in between. There are love stories without mundane dating. There are battles between empires without questioning why each side is the way it is.
There are several stories on way the name space opera emerged for the genre. See other responses for “horse opera” and “soap opera”. But I suggest the the similarity with stage operas is more apt than you seem to think.
Stage operas have stories with showy drama that is very shallow when analyzed. There are good good guys, bad bad guys and no one in between. There are love stories without mundane dating. There are battles between kingdoms without questioning why each side is the way it is. Very parallel!

D). He is unable to swim.
A and d I believe but I'm not sure
Answer: question 4: third person.
question 2: b, he is traveling north
Explanation: well think about how the story is talking to you, is the frog telling the story? no. is the scorpian telling the story? no therefor its a narrator telling the story. and the point of this story is all about how the scorpian can't swim so he asks for the frogs help. however the frog is worried because the scorpian has a deadly sting. and the reason the scorpian has to ask the frog for help is because he needs to cross the river so through process of elimination we see that the only answer that isnt important to the story is b, he is traveling north.
