In theatre it is used to create a character, or to give emphasis to a certain point. In the words of Charlotte Pagni, a teacher at Eastern Michigan University, “[P]ublic access television is often scapegoated for the ''sins'' of commercial television…”

For a few days after I moved to DC, I wondered what actions I can do to illustrate the concept of “civic engagement.” I thought it was a broad term, maybe because I was not familiar with the American term.
