Public Polling & Surveys / The Use in the Media and
Impacts on Individual Decision-making : News media
organizations and politicians use public opinion surveys to
shape public perceptions and address their specific arguments.
One of the misnomers of American cultures is that the use of
these surveys represents an accurate and accountable view
of the opinions of the public as a whole, rather than just
representing the cumulative views of the individuals that the
survey studies. Both Floyd Fowler and Herbert Asher
address the issue of bias in surveys and public polling and this
8 page paper considers the arguments they present.

Flaneurs / Seeing the World, Effecting Change : A 25 page
research paper that explores the world of the modern flaneur.
The writer posits that the new adult generation (Generation
X) is composed of flaneurs, trained by visual and sound bites
to become the world’s spectators, and through follow-up
action, they effect a different world. The writer discusses the
effectiveness of this generation whose interest is in
information (peace) rather than technology (war). As
information is applied by this generation to artistic endeavors,
the author provides a history of flaneurs and their objective
and subjective purposes. Criticism of this generation by older
generations is presented, along with refuting arguments.

working on a passive audience. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
