Which of the following does not illustrate an effect of media on human communication? select one: a. people are more inclined to communicate online than face to face b. the government may form inferences based on the public majority’s opinion. c. questions needing answers are readily available online d. the varied interaction of people from around the world in social media

I'd choose B as the answer.

Our entire social lives these days are mediated and we are now leaving in a mediated era. Social media, for instance, has profoundly influenced in inter-personal communication. Options A and D contributes to the interaction and the fulfillment of peoples’ social needs and social media has become a preferred mode of communication with the rise of digital and mobile technologies. Social media has negatively impacted and reduced face to face interactions of human beings, whether business wise or through personal communication. Option C also illustrates an effect of media on human communication, which only leaves us with option B

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
