Throughout the article, I use the term adolescence or adolescents when referencing dominant, essentialist views of young people roughly between the ages of 12 and 19. I use the terms youth,young people,or students when speaking of the youth themselves.
This defining of language I feel is super important, and wonder if the same type of language was used during instruction. How did the practice line up with the theory? If social categories are produced through performance, how does this look in practice, specifically the language used in delivery?

In the early months of 1951, public declarations from Dwight D. Eisenhower and other American military brass followed, to the effect of there being 'a real difference between the German soldier and Hitler and his criminal group.'[11]
The thinking was that the troops and the leader needed to be alienated from one another, and therefore, the troops needn't be brought to trial and would be integrated back into society? In other words, force apologies between the citizenry and the troops? Move on...

The strength of agenda setting lies in its power to offer a compelling explanation of issues important to society and to predict the issues salient to those with similar media exposure.
The power of agenda setting theory lies in its power to make issues important and explain those issues for whichever agenda benefits them and/or their viewers most.

suggesting that the media does not tell the audience what to think, but rather what to think about.
What to think >>> What to think about

Hmm... Is what is popular in the media also what is important?

For one, it matters a lot less than you might think (giving Mrs. Clinton an additional 20-point shift among Hispanic voters will boost her national vote share by just two points)
How does this matter? 2% change, especially paired with other variable findings, can sway majority opinion.

Polls "give the public an independent voice that's not generally present" otherwise in politics and political news coverage, Traugott said. But he says the recent errors, and a steep decline in the number of people responding to opinion surveys, is "a worrisome trend because one of the main claims of polling is that it represents the people's views."
Why does it matter what other people think in order for someone else to formulate an opinion?
Ethos/Pathos/Logos - What role does mass mentality have? Eg, If a tweet has thousands of retweets, are you more likely to believe that person is credible?

Her new book, Salmon, A Scientific Memoir, is being released this month.
Not even a hyperlink for the author to help market her own books. I also didn't notice a profile page for the author.
I think this is a very conscious decision for the publication. Most writers online tend to not get paid unless they are directly employed by the publication as a writer. However what they do get paid in is credible linkbacks to their sites and social media, like it was done for the author in the Scientific American article.
I wonder what their decision was to do this and if it has to do with the fact that the Nautil.us article is a physical publication as well as a digital, and the Scientific American article, at least the one we read, isn't a physical publication.

Reference
No references listed in the Scientific American article like there is here. Makes it more credible.

The Gift Outright
Originally he was going to read a poem he wrote called "Dedication," but due to the glare from sunlight bouncing off the snow, Frost couldn't read the words on his page, since he didn't have it memorized. Instead, he recited "The Gift Outright" from memory.
