No portrait by a great modern master could have presented him with more intensity, thrust him out of his frame with more art, as if there had been treatment, of the consummate sort, in his every shade and salience.


-
For the most part, this remains true today. (But see Rabinowitz et al.,1982.) To measure salience, scholars initially turned to votersâ responses tothe surveyquestion that asks about the ââmost important problemââ (MIP) facing the nation(RePass, 1971; Miller et al., 1976). 1 These responses were taken to indicate theimportance of issues to individual voters.


Salience (language)
1 The second ( valence ) interpretation proposes that for certain issues salience is a very important factor. 2  In other words, when there is a general consensus of principles, the relative salience of various issues amongst the public determines the policy position of policy makers.


-
In this manuscript, Iargue that the measure confuses at least two diï¬erent characteristics of salience: Theimportance of issues and the degree to which issues are a problem. It even may be that issuesand problems are themselves fundamentally diï¬erent things, one relating to public policy andthe other to conditions.

Salience (language)
1 In other words, when there is a general consensus of principles, the relative salience of various issues amongst the public determines the policy position of policy makers. 2  This is due to constraints in policy making, where ideals are often induced, which policy makers view as the tradeoff space.

Whether something is an ââimportant problemââ reï¬ects the combinedeï¬ect of the two; in eï¬ect, the salience weights from Eq.

What is direct contribution margin?
Contribution Margin is found by subtracting sales by variable costs. It is what left over after you subtract these. Lets say your sales are 10 dollars a unit and your variable cost is 7 dollars per unit. your contribution margin would be 3 dollars. it can be positive or negative in the case you would be losing money.

Other writers have written about these hard truths which have made the American Dream an illusion: John Steinbeck (1902-) in The Grapes of Wrath (1939) and J. D. Salinger (1919-) in The Catcher in the Rye (1951) are two examples.


Is the American Dream Withering or Just Changing?
Perhaps the newest definition of the American dream comes from the National Endowment for Financial Education, which found that nearly half of adults define the dream as a comfortable retirement. Most just want to quit work at 65 or 67 and not worry.


Is the American Dream Withering or Just Changing?
In more recent times, the American dream became closely identified with home ownership. But that idea suffered a blow in the housing bust. Just 65% of Americans own their home, down from 69% pre-bust, and four out of five Americans are rethinking the reasons theyâd want to buy a house.


-
The Puritan Fathers who first came to New England (one of the first states to be settled), the Quakers who came to Pennsylvania (another American state), and the Huguenots in Virginia were all religious refugees who were driven to the New World by persecution.


-
The American Dream is the hope that every one of us has the chance to be all we can be. It is being blown away by the takeover of predatory international monopolies who are buying elections and our (ha ha) legislators and our airwaves for their propaganda.


Introduction to Sociology/Print version
Just because the American Dream doesn't happen for everybody -- or doesn't happen the way someone wants it -- doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. America is the land of opportunity, and offers freedom and chances to those who aren't able to acquire it elsewhere.


-
Also, it is true that not everyone can achieve the American Dream. When people picture a family living the American Dream, they usually picture a stereotypical white family, and do not open up the idea of the American Dream to different races or ethnicities.


-
The American Dream-A historical overview. The American Dream describes an attitude of hope and faith that looks forward to the fulfilment of human wishes and desires. What these wishes are, were expressed in Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence of 1776, where it was stated:


-
My definition of the American Dream is for one to have acceptance, be respected, find love, live in peace, have a home and family, and overall, to be happy. And in order to get all these things, one must be willing to understand.
