News stories are covered several times and most of us do not even realize it. Although more recently many people get news in more similar mediums such as on the Internet because of the decline of newspapers. “Since 1940, the total number of daily newspapers has dropped more than 21 percent” (McIntosh and Pavlik, 119). Many times we do not realize the same story we read online was covered on our local news station and in our local newspaper, even further than that this same story is being covered

It is a belief that companies or powerful groups are competing, but within boundaries of consensus and compromise. The idea of pluralism descends from functionalism.

If there was a disruption in one of these institutions then it could affect the stability of society
There are many things that went well within our group for this marketing project. Our group collaborated very well to come up with ideas that would set us aside from any other group. Having group meetings weekly helped tremendously in the process of the final project. I had a very creative group.

Before coming to kents hill, I had one view school. It's always been something that I dreaded and something I couldn't wait to be done with. Moving around from school to school never seemed like it was helping and I was falling into a deeper pit each time.
