Salient Points On America

The US has long been known as a
“melting pot”
because many of its people are
descendents of settlers who came
from all over the world.

Political Parties And Elections …
…
Americans regularly exercise their democratic
rights by voting in elections and by participation in
political parties and election campaigns. Today,
there are two major political parties in the United
States, the Democratic and the Republican. The
Democratic Party evolved from the party of Thomas
Jefferson, formed before 1800. The Republican
Party was established in the 1850s by Abraham
Lincoln and others who opposed the expansion of
salary into new states then being admitted to the
Union.

Television: Beyond The Big
Three
Three privately owned networks that offered free
programming financed by commercials - NBC, CBS,
and ABC - controlled 90 percent of the TV market
from the 1950s to the 1970s. In the 1980s the rapid
spread of pay cable TV transmitted by satellite
undermined that privileged position. By 1994,
almost 60 percent of American households had
subscribed to cable TV, and non-network
programming was drawing more than 30 percent of
viewers. Among the new cable channels were
several that show movies 24 hours a day; Cable
News Network, the creation of Ted Turner, which
broadcasts news around the clock, and MTV, which
shows music videos.

Television: Beyond The Big Three
25 …
…
In the meantime, a fourth major commercial
network, Fox, has come into being and challenged
the big three networks; several local TV stations
have switched their affiliation from one of the big
three to the newcomer. Two more national network
- WB and UPN - have also come along, and the
number of cable television channels continues to
expand.
