What skills are involved in being a radio listener?
On Halloween eve in 1938, there was an adaptation of H.G. Wells 1898 novel War of the Worlds on the radio series Mercury Theatre of the Air. Orson Welles produced, hosted, and acted in this series, which adapted mystery, science fiction and other drama for radio. Welles aired the 1898 Martian invasion novel (War of the Worlds) in the style of a radio news program. For people who missed the opening disclaimer, the program sounded like a real news report!
The production was scripted in the form of fake news flashes that repeatedly interrupted musical recordings. The first news flash reported strange activity sighted on Mars. The next interruption was an urgent message saying a meteor had crashed near Grovers Mills, New Jersey. Then came a live report from the New Jersey site saying it wasnt a meteor at all but Martians with death-ray guns who had just killed one thousand people. Remember, all of this was scripted and it was an adaptation of an earlier novel. The Mercury Theatre of the Air regularly adapted novels to perform for this radio program.
Even though there had been a strong disclaimer at the beginning of the broadcast saying the story was only make-believe, there were some real consequences. The radio play was misinterpreted by some to be an actual news story. People crowded into churches, highways became jam-packed with cars, and many people put on gas masks. In one unlucky town in Washington State, an actual power failure magnified the frenzy and horror. Thousands of people, believing they were under attack by Martians, flooded newspaper offices and radio and police stations with calls, asking how to flee their city or how they should protect themselves from gas raids. Scores of adults reportedly required medical treatment for shock and hysteria. There were even reports of people committing suicide out of fear of the Martians invading New Jersey.
Instructions

Your written responses should be a minimum of 4 pages (if you include all the questions, please do not count this in the page count. If you use 1/4 of the page for your name and title, please do not include this in the page count). Please us 12 point font, 1 inch margins, double spaced.
You may want to read the following article for further information about the radio broadcast before answering the questions: National Geographic article: War of the Worlds: Behind the 1938 Radio Show Panic. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2005/06/war-of-the-worlds-behind-the-panic/
For this assignment, listen to about 15 minutes of the broadcast War of the Worlds. (Pay attention to the first 11 seconds, from the beginning to 0:11 when it is introduced as a show.

When is spanking considered child abuse?
Spanking and corporal punishment are a discipline method in which a parent or school official hits a childs bottom with a hand, a belt, or a paddle. The intent is to modify the childs behavior without causing serious injury. In 1977, the Supreme Court ruled in Ingraham v. Wright that in-school corporal punishment does not violate the Eighth Amendments prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Spanking is legal in all states and corporal punishment is allowed in schools in nineteen states.
When is spanking considered child abuse? What are the criteria for child abuse? Is spanking an effective means of discipline? Do parents have the right to discipline their children as they see fit?
Do spanking and corporal punishment have negative effects? If so what are they?
Why has corporal punishment been abolished in 100 nations of the world? (Taylor, Manganello, Lee, & Rice, 2010)
Does corporal punishment teach children that violence is a way to solve problems, particularly when they see adults using it on children?
In some studies of corporal punishment, there appears to be disparities among particular groups of children being hit two to five times more frequently than others. Is corporal punishment in schools discriminatory and which children are being targeted? (Gregory, 1995)
