TV addiction
1 The amount of time people spend watching television is
astonishing. On average, individuals in the industrialized
world devote three hours a day to the pursuit, fully half of
their leisure time, and more than on any single activity save
5 work and sleep. Someone who lives to 75 would spend nine
years in front of the tube. To some commentators, this
devotion means simply that people enjoy TV and make a
conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole story,
why do so many people experience misgivings about how
10 much they view?

Argumentative texts are types of text in which a thesis is cited and then extensively defended.
1 Chaplin was famous in a way that no one had been
before; arguably, no one has been as famous since. At the peak
of his popularity, his screen persona, the Tramp, was the most
4 recognized image in the world. His name came first in
discussions of the new medium as popular entertainment, and
in defences of it as a distinct art form — a cultural position
7 occupied afterwards only by the Beatles, whose own
era-defining popularity never equalled Chaplin’s. He’s the
closest thing the 20th century produced to a universal cultural
10 touchstone.
Film histories will invariably assert that Chaplin’s
mass popularity was owed to the way in which the Tramp
13 represented a destitute everyman. His films turned hunger,
laziness, and the feeling of being unwanted into comedy. He
was an ego artist, a performer with an uncanny relationship to
16 the camera who spent the early part of his career refining his
screen persona and the latter part of it deconstructing it.
Many a film critic raises the issue of Chaplin’s actual
19 relationship to the cultural moment of the time — and the fact
that his popularity survived several periods of sweeping
cultural change. His post-silent films — which include his two
22 most enduringly popular features, Modern Times and The
Great Dictator — reflect his own attitudes more than the
feelings of American audiences at the time. His mature work is
25 deliberately artificial, set in a world pieced together from
chunks of European and American past, present, and, in the
case of Modern Times, future.

This Chrome extension lets you learn a new language by watching Netflix
01 Learning a new language through immersion doesn’t mean you have to pack your bags and
02 move to Europe for three months. Now, you just need to turn __ Netflix. Language Learning with
03 Netflix is a Chrome extension that lets you watch shows with two subtitles on __ the same time
04 so you can visually pair translations with dialogue and learn some new vocabulary in the process.
05 Its a clever service that makes use of Netflix’s massive catalogue and all of the major languages
06 in which it already offers subtitles, including Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
07 Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
08 The extension was created by developers David Wilkinson and Ognjen Apic who experimented
09 with making their own language learning software before collaborating on Language Learning with
10 Netflix. “For some languages (Farsi, for example), there’s only a limited amount of learning
11 materials available”, Wilkinson said in an email. “I think a lot of people would enjoy studying a
12 language with material they are already familiar with”.
13 The tool works best as a supplement for people who already have some basic understanding
14 of the language they’re learning. There’s a vocabulary-highlighting feature that greys out less
15 common words, which is adjustable to match your vocabulary level. Hovering over a word
16 produces a pop-up dictionary, and clicking the word lets you hear it. You can also slow down the
17 dialogue or automatically pause playback at the end of every subtitle, so you can learn line by
18 line. There’s even a catalogue of recommendations for movies and shows that are good to study.
19 The Chrome extension is free to use, but Wilkinson and Apic’s product is expected to have
20 more features, like additional subtitles __ dubbed dialogue, which would only be available for paid
21 users. “Netflix has alternative audio tracks for many well-known series, but the subtitles in other
22 languages don’t match the audio”, Wilkinson said. “We’re considering creating new subtitles for
23 these alternative audio tracks, so you could study German, for example, with Breaking Bad with
24 matching German audio and subtitles”.
25 One of the few downsides is that the tool only works on Google Chrome, so you can’t use it
26 with your Netflix app on tablets or streaming services like Roku or Apple TV. Hopefully, the service
27 can make it’s way beyond browsers soon because it’s obvious that the potential __ language
28 learning through media is huge. Viki, a streaming service for Asian dramas, implemented a “Learn
29 Mode” in 2017 that essentially does the same thing by showing two subtitles at once. The
30 developers say they haven’t contacted Netflix yet, but “the project could likely go faster and
31 further with their support”.

As a young democracy, Brazil has confronted economic and financial upheavals in the past. The countrys economic crisis of 20142017 saw a drastic fall in gross domestic product (GDP), stark rise in unemployment, a severe fiscal crisis, and an increased budget deficit. Since then, the economy has been a prominent issue in political conversations, especially regarding globalization and the ways in which trade liberalization can affect economic growth. Those running for office in 2018 differed slightly in this debate, and comparing the proposals and backgrounds of their economic advisors was as important as comparing the candidates themselves.

Airline employee steals, crashes plane near Seattle
US authorities are investigating the Friday night crash of a
Horizon Air Q400 aircraft near Seattle-Tacoma airport in
Washington state after an airline employee took off without
clearance and flew the plane for about an hour before it crashed.
Two F-15 military fighter jets went up into the air in order to
intercept the stolen airliner, and the airport closed for a short time.
There were no passengers on board except the person who was
operating the plane. It is believed that he is Richard Russel, a 29
year old local man who worked for the airline. Some media
images showed the aircraft doing complicated and dangerous
flying before crash. In an audio recording a conversation with an
air traffic controller, the person piloting the aircraft said he was a
“broken guy”.

Recent corporate s, such as EBS International and Société Générale, have brought about renewed scrutiny into corporate governance mechanisms. Given the pervasiveness of Information Technology (IT) in many organizations, the examination of corporate governance mechanisms also includes IT governance mechanisms. IT governance is defined as “a structure of relationships and processes to direct and control the enterprise in order to achieve the enterprise’s goals by adding value while balancing risk versus return over IT and its processes”.
In light of increased public awareness, professional bodies such as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) have undertaken a number of steps to provide guidance in the implementation of effective IT governance. The approach taken by ISACA appears to be largely based upon two concepts. The first concept relates to increasing the awareness of issues and concepts relating to IT governance in the public domain. The second concept involves the provision of guidelines and the identification of best-practice IT governance mechanisms. Interestingly, the effectiveness of these best-practice mechanisms in improving IT governance is largely based upon conceptual arguments. As such, it becomes important to ascertain if these best-practice mechanisms do impact upon the level of IT governance.
As IT escalates in terms of importance and pervasiveness in the operations of firms, it is inexorably tied to specific mechanisms that are prescribed for good corporate governance, most notably, a sound system of internal controls. Accordingly, effective IT governance is a critical underpinning for a system of good corporate governance that minimizes agency losses for a firm.

Based on the text above, judge the following item.
IT governance mechanisms contribute toward an increased level of overall effective IT governance.
