Media Literacy is a critical skill students must learn to succeed in today's tech-driven, media-saturated society. This book helps students understand media literacy, and how to implement and share that knowledge with others. As an experienced media literacy expert and professor, Nick Pernisco provides a well-researched guide for learning this important critical thinking skill and using it in everyday life. This is a must-read for anyone interested in learning how to interpret the enormous amounts of information we are exposed to every day, both in traditional media and online.The information we are exposed to each day is immense. This is due to a lower barrier to entry for media companies to deliver their messages, but also to the entry of non-professional media producers on social media. Anyone can have a Twitter or Instagram account, and anyone has the capability to grow their audience from nothing to millions of followers. How do these messages compare to the messages we get from our televisions? How have our smartphones changed the way we consume media? We clearly have an over-saturated marketplace for ideas, with too much information vying for our limited attention. This book holds the answer.The 2016 election was another paradigm-shifting moment for our world. The election of Donald Trump made us pay closer attention to the news, and many people felt they were facing new levels of media intensity and messaging that had never been seen before. In this book we also interweave lessons learned since 2016 and provide the tools necessary to understand our new world.The first and second editions of this book have been used by teachers and students around the world, and have sold thousands of copies in various formats.

This book is perfect as a textbook for a course on media literacy, or as an undergraduate media or cultural studies course.

Guns, Polls, and Democracy has a simple thesis: Supermajorities of Americans should usually be able to get the laws they want. But when the problem is gun violence, that isn''t the case. Our gun violence problem is staggering: Firearm fatalities claim almost 40,000 lives in the United States each year. Active shooters garner the most attention, but firearm suicides take the largest toll. Domestic violence brings the problem home. There are also "road rage" and "retail rage'' shootings. And cop killings. And on and on. Americans recoil from the violence. Although deeply divided on the rhetoric of guns and gun violence, polls consistently show that most Americans actually agree on a broad range of specific policy proposals.This well-researched book carefully explains each of those proposals-including universal background checks, "red flag" laws, closing the "boyfriend" loophole, and a dozen more. But Guns, Polls and Democracy is more than an introduction to the gun policy debate. It collects polling data to assess which proposals Americans support and which they don''t. It also breaks out which proposals Republicans, Trump voters, and gun owners support and which they oppose. Powerful members of Congress and our state legislatures, funded by gun manufacturers, armed with gun lobby talking points, and buoyed by Second Amendment absolutists, stand in the way of enacting the very modest measures most Americans want. Can such a stark division between what most Americans want and what Congress is willing (or able) to deliver be healthy for representative democracy in this country?

ManipulationMind Control Using NLP, Persuasion, & Body LanguageBeing able to control other people is not hard at all despite what we may like to assume. It is incredibly easy to take control of the human mind thanks to the way that it works. The vast majority of the ways that people work involves the use of generalizing, making predictions, and following habits. Because of this, if you can begin to change those perceptions and habits, you can very quickly be capable of controlling the individual as well. The unconscious mind is always listening to what is going on around you, and it does this completely unprotected. The unconscious mind is not under the guidance or protection of your ability to think rationally, and because of that, when you tap into it, you can then begin to control the way that people respond and behave.To control someone else is as simple as tapping into one very easy to follow principle-your thoughts create feelings, your feelings create behaviors, and your behaviors influence everything else. It becomes this perfect loop in which your own behaviors can be regulated and understood. When you are able to break into one of them and change one of them, you see real changes in everything that comes after it, and because of that, you can then begin to hijack the people''s mind.How to Analyze PeopleUsing Emotional Intelligence to Analyze PeopleIf you are a beginner, you will benefit from learning about human nature and how to read people. If you are someone who is already somewhat skilled in this department, you will be able to fine-tune those skills even more to read deeper into a person''s behavior and learn even more than you ever have about what a person''s body language is telling you.Further, this book will help you to understand yourself and your own body language so that you can better understand how you may be coming across to others.NLP SecretsUsing NLP Techniques to Reprogram Yourself & Others  No matter whether you suffer from stress, anxiety, fears, anger problems, or anything else, you can learn to fix the problem and this book is here to help you. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a highly effective method through which you can address the way that you interact with yourself, your thoughts, and the world. It presupposes that everything that you do is a result of the internal thoughts that you have about the world. It recognizes that you are guided through the understanding that there are inputs, internal processes, and outputs that determine what you do, how you do it, and why, and you can learn to take control of them with ease.You do not have to feel powerless any longer.

The “All Women Rock” Tradition     Having always been a customer service type of guy, transitioning from a small town in Louisiana to a big state like California was a shocker for me.  The big city life of the Los Angeles area was so different from that life I had already experienced.  I had no choice but to take it by the reigns and learn a new way of doing business.      After 30 years of living here, I would not trade the experience for anything else.  It has been enriching in so many ways to my success.  The greatest opportunity that I created was to start a platform of “All Women Rock Conference.”   This conference started October 14, 2018.  At that time there were 55 successful women business leaders who received awards from my company.  Their awards were presented for their great business ethics, humanitarianism, and community involvement.  This began a tradition and incredible space to honor women from all walks of life who had achieved success in many categories.  To say the least, it was life changing for many.     The All Women Rock Platform is for the celebration of women.  They are recognized and awarded for their efforts.  It is an opportunity for women to also honor other women as nominations are part of the selection process.  As we have moved forward in time, we were thrilled to present the “All Women Rock Conference, 2019” in Costa Mesa, California at the country club there.   Continuing this tradition brings opportunities nationally for women to be recognized as we celebrate “All Women Rock 2020”. 

The new boy. The quiet girl. Will they find love during the solar eclipse? Neb Connelly has looked forward to the solar eclipse for as long as he can remember. When his only friend in his new town invites him on a school camping trip to watch it, he's there. And only 67% of his wanting to go is because of the quiet girl on the group text his friend started. She gets his jokes, doesn't mind when he geeks out about the eclipse, and for the first time in months, he's ready to chase more than the sun. Recently single Sage Winters fears she's too damaged for love, but her self-help-loving best friend drags her on a "path of self-healing" - which apparently includes going camping with twenty classmates to see the solar eclipse. And Neb, who she's never met but whose silly space jokes turn her insides to mush, will be there. But when they finally meet in person, another girl stakes her claim on him. Does Sage run the other way to save her heart, or risk it all for a chance at happiness with this space boy? Book one in the Campfire Series, Chasing the Sun, is a lighthearted romance with space puns, Portland shenanigans, and enough feels to totally eclipse your heart.
