How did yellow journalism provoke US involvement in affairs between Cuba and Spain?
The press played a tremendous part in leading the charge toward America's involvement in Cuba. Two publishers, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, stood out among these opportunists. They perceived the conflict with Spain as their chance to increase circulation of their newspapers. Seizing upon the opportunity to capitalize on the growing spirit of American patriotism, Hearst and Pulitzer printed sensational anti-Spanish stories. Graphic illustrations commissioned from some of the country's most-talented artists and stories written by premiere authors and journalists of the day were fodder for fueling the flames of war. Together, Hearst and Pulitzer created a frenzy among the American people by reporting the alleged brutality of the Spanish toward the Cuban rebels. (However, acts of outrage committed by the Cubans were seldom mentioned.) By the time the USS Maine exploded in Havana Harbor, the pro-war press had roused national sentiment to the point that President McKinley feared his political party would suffer if he did not engage in war with Spain.

What are the codes of ethics in journalism?
Unrestrained freedom of the press and the activities of journalism gave rise undesirably, to undertakings that were rather detrimental to the society as far as the culture and ethics of people are concerned. Such undertakings by journalist included 'Yellow Journalism', sensationalism, the tendency intruding into private lives for the sheer sake of juicy news and so forth. This gave rise to the importance for the formation of certain ethics in journalism also known as principles that are expected to be abided by.
A journalistic undertaking has to be featured by objectivity, a writing or a deliverance of news completely free from personal opinions and bias. A news has to be balanced and fair without any inclinations of favoritism to one side of the issue. Similarly truthfulness and accuracy should be the feature of a news items. An article should be decently delivered devoid of any sensitive language, any personal derogatory remarks and without resorting to emotionally shocking items like presenting photographs of human corpses. A news agency or press must be independent and not restricted to undertake their activities. And lastly, a news media must be responsible for the same society that gave them the freedom.

Libel is stating false claims or accusations about someone in writing In journalism one still has few advantages and libel will not be very easy to argue except that journalist should have belived the same to be true; or even if the same is in public interest, the journalist may go ahead and publish the same. There are several common defenses a reporter has against a libel lawsuit: * Truth Since libel is by definition false, if a journalist reports something that is true it cannot be libelous, even if it damages a person's reputation. Truth is the reporter's best defense against a libel suit. * Privilege Accurate reports about official proceedings - anything from a murder trial to a city council meeting or a congressional hearing - cannot be libelous. This may seem like an odd defense, but imagine covering a murder trial without it. Conceivably, the reporter covering that trial could be sued for libel every time someone in the courtroom accused the defendant of murder. * Fair Comment & Criticism This defense covers expressions of opinion, everything from movie reviews to columns on the op-ed page. The fair comment and criticism defense allows reporters to express opinions no matter how scathing or critical. === ===

What interests did the us have in Cuba?
The United States, at the time when we became more involved in Cuba, was not having very peaceful relations with Spain. Spain had control over Cuba at the time. The Cubans began to rebel against Cuba, and the United States also went in and helped Cuba out, starting the Spanish-American War. The United States later won the war, though. After this, War in the Philippines began almost as a sequel, but that is a whole different story. Hoope this helped you out.
How do you make your relationship more exciting?
Try harder.
If you focus on your partner's pleasure, then it will automatically increase your pleasure, as well.
Another AnswerThe act of sex can be mechanical if you focus on "getting your rocks off". This scenario is focusing solely on you, and is usually what happens when you are not emotionally involved with your partner. While the feeling might be good, it is not as good as when you are in a longer term relationship with your partner. The longer term relationship lets you find the other person's "trigger points", letting you have a more intimate experience.
For men, making sex better involves visual stimulation. Ladies, this is why sexy lingerie is a must. Costuming is very visual, and he loves to look at you in something he considers stimulating. Simple naked works in the beginning because it is new, but a longer term relationship might need more artful visual pictures. Surprise him with lace, stockings (not panty hose) or even a wet tee shirt. This also satisfies your desire to be looked at so choose a costume with as much care as you do your outer clothing.
The classic French maid costume, thongs, garter belts and stockings, altering your physical appearance with makeup or shaving, or even removing an article of clothing can be very appealing. There is an art to "teasing", so take the time to learn what he considers sexy. It might be that he is a "breast man" or a "butt man" or a "leg man". In each case, find out what he is attracted to, then play up that part of your body. A scandalous bra, panties, or stockings can make sex more fun.
For men, your lady takes time to "warm up". While she is able to have multiple orgasms, it still takes time to get there. Be prepared to enjoy the warm up period.
You have certain triggers on your body that you know, let her in on the secret! And learn her triggers...she has them also. They can include the back, breast, buttocks, knees (back of them), or even feet. Women are more inclined to the touch process, so keep those hands manicured and use lotion. Nothing is more irritating than a hangnail on a sensitive spot. It is not manly to make her hurt in an intimate encounter.
Bathe!!! The nose is a sexual zone too, so nasty doesn't cut it. There is nothing more sensual than a mutual bathing experience. Washing each other can be very exciting without the effort of costuming. Once again, be prepared. Bath gels, shampoos, and moisturizer are important accessories to a sexy bath. Big fluffy towels and sensual rugs are wonderful accessories too...if you get that far.
Essentially, the key to better sex is to take your time. Foreplay is essential in making sex better, and the more you know your partner, the better it can be. Familiarity does not breed contempt, it breeds better sex. Knowing what your partner's triggers are will make the encounters better, last longer, and be more satisfying than the simple mechanics of the act.
