Creating a Problem Sample Clauses

Creating a Problem. The analysis of the problem stream strived to explore how Fox News contributed to the decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement. It showed that the portrayal of the policy problem by Fox News was one of overregulation. Meaning that their focussing event is not man-made climate change, but environmental regulations. Climate change regulations equal loss in jobs according to Fox News. Furthermore, Fox News rejects the scientific consensus on man-made climate change and uses studies by conservative think tanks to justify their stance. Employees from the Heritage Foundation and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx frequently give commentaries on climate change on Fox News (Mckelway, 2013: Mckelway, 2014). Their involvement (i.e. Heritage Foundation) will be discussed further in the policy stream. The narrative Fox News depicted was a story of decline which then turned to a story of power, more specifically conspiracy stories. The story of decline is meant to warn the audience and motivate them to seize control. The story of decline sets the stage for the conspiracy story of power (Stone, 2011). By suggesting that Xxxxx had a “hidden agenda” (Xxxxxx, 2013) and that his administration was “tinkering with global warming data” (Xxxxx, 2015), Fox News created a conspiracy theory. The implications of these articles were to suggest that the Obama administration used environmental regulations to grab more power and control. To seize this power and control, Fox News suggest that the Obama administration declared a “War on Coal” (Springer, 2013). Which is a metaphor that is used to strategically represent a problem (Stone, 2011). Lastly, Fox News used synecdoche’s when describing Xxxxx’s climate change policies to wrongfully depict the social reality of the problem.

Related to Creating a Problem

  • Problem/ Solution Statement Problem California’s forest health crisis is an emergency of unprecedented scope and scale, with disastrous implications for the state’s environment, economy, energy systems, and human life. Unlike essentially all other technologies and solutions proposed to respond to the crisis, gasification has the potential to process forest waste in a way that extracts value and sequesters a large portion of its carbon. Before the recipient’s development of the pre- commercial Powertainer technology, no one had developed gasification technology that could economically respond to the problem. As a result, there have not yet been any large-scale deployments of distributed, commercial-scale gasification technology. The acceleration of tree mortality and persistent drought conditions make finding solutions to this problem more critical with each passing day.
