    The correct answer is " seeing events and increased awareness could change public opinion on major issues."

    Many American citizens were appalled when they saw the conditions that US soldiers had to go through during the Vietnam War. News stations like CBS actually sent newscasters to Vietnam and had them go into the front lines with soldiers. This allowed Americans first hand to see what life was like and how this was a battle that America was struggling to win.

    As for the Civil Rights movement, the ability of citizens to see peaceful protests and the amount of citizens fighting for equal rights showed that this was a large scale movement. Along with this, individuals could see how peaceful protestors were met with violence and were able to stay peaceful despite being abused.

    Both events were heavily influenced by the presence of TV.
