Based on the context, which three phrases show the shift from an informative tone to a judgmental tone?
Journalism: A Service or a Business?

Journalism, the profession of reporting or delivering news and information to the public, is the fourth pillar of a democratic state—the other three being judiciary, executive and legislative. This service is given immense importance because it plays a crucial role in society. From informing people to entertaining them with interesting stories, this field covers every issue, topic, or event under the sun. Journalism has a rich history and follows a set of principles and values. It is simultaneously dynamic, adapting itself to changing tastes and trends, and consistent in its role of educating people on issues that matter.
The principles of journalism have undergone changes with the changing demands of news consumers. Journalism, which began with the purpose to educate, has branched out to inform and entertain the masses through infotainment. Gradually, however, the line between information and entertainment has started to blur and now most people prefer watching news or following a new development for its entertainment or sensational value rather than for its informational value. A gossip piece about a celebrity's life or a political scandal easily becomes the talk of the town, while a serious news piece about war or human rights violations receives much less attention. This universal trend has become a vicious cycle,where the demand for sensational news articles trumps the genuine need for credible information.
Though there are multiple reasons for this trend, popularity and monetary gains are two of the major contributing factors. Journalism, like many other services, has become commercialized and, under the disguise of reporting and exposing misdeeds,it is shamelessly being sold. A few media institutions have brought nothing but disgrace to the art bybecoming mere puppetsin the hands of powerful corporations and politically influential individuals. News programs have turned absurd and seem to be tailored to amuse specific political parties. Many of the present day media organizations are desperate institutions that look to make a quick buck and gain momentary attention.
Similar to the products on supermarket racks, news has become a lucrative commodity that can be easily sold and bought. Additionally, falsified and unverified news reports further disrespect the profession. Journalists, who were once the watchdogs of impartial distribution of information, have become vulnerable to the lure of the dollar. There have been many incidents where reputed news organizations have broadcasted unverified and eventually untrue news stories to boost their ratings or please sponsors.
Journalism began with the sole aim to serve the public, not as a means for reporters and corporations to increase their bank balance. Today’s news reporting is ripe with the narrow, self-centered attitude of running a business. Though there are groups on the Internet that have been formed tocheck the quality of news that is covered, many stories go unnoticed. Of course, media organizations have the right to earn a living. However, if news remains a commodity rather than a necessity, it would favor only to the needs of the highest bidder. Sensationalizing news causes more harm to public interest than rumors ever could. Journalists shoulder a huge responsibility and have the power to change or even form public opinion on important political, economic or social issues. Instead of dancing to someone's tune, news organizations should exercise discretion in reporting events and aim to create a well-informed society.

Why would authors use literary elements in their story.

Alejandro reached the platform just as the train's doors closed. He would have made it in time had it not been for his crutches. Had it not been for his stupid injury, he would have been on that train. Instead he was stuck on the platform, waiting all by himself. Since the injury, not a day had passed that he hadn't been reminded of his poor luck. He was a perfectly healthy 22 year old, supposedly in the prime of his life. And yet, while playing soccer with his friends, he'd fallen and torn his ACL, a ligament in his knee. As a result, he'd been sentenced to three months of physical therapy and a long, slow recovery. Alejandro felt as if his body had betrayed him. Injuries like this were supposed to happen to old out-of-shape guys—but not to him. And the physical therapy was a nightmare. His therapist, Dr. Mike, expected him to do a full hour of stretches every day. A full hour! Alejandro barely had the patience for 15 minutes of stretching. "You're not used to being injured, are you?" Dr. Mike had asked him during their first meeting. "Of course not," Alejandro had responded. "I'm in great shape." "Even world-class athletes get injured," Dr. Mike said. "The first step on the road to recovery is to the take the time to recover. We can't push our bodies too far. From there, we should learn acceptance. Our bodies don't last forever. The sooner you accept this fact, the sooner you will heal. Plus, you'll be better equipped to deal with injuries in the future." Now, as Alejandro waited for the next train, he had time to contemplate Dr. Mike's advice. People had always told Alejandro to appreciate his youth while he had it. But Dr. Mike was saying something else. He was telling Alejandro to prepare for a day when his body would fail. Dr. Mike was telling Alejandro to accept his body's shortcomings, even though he was still young. As these thoughts occurred to Alejandro, an old man appeared on the train platform. He made his way slowly toward Alejandro, using a cane to support his weight. His body was hunched, and a hump was visible in his back. And though his cautious, deliberate progress across the platform was painful to watch, Alejandro noticed that the old man was smiling. The old man reached Alejandro just as the next train arrived. Alejandro nodded at him respectfully. Then the two of them boarded the same car: Alejandro with his crutches, and the old man with his cane.

Enforcement Everywhere
In 2012, 13,268 traffic fatalities occurred in rural locations, compared to 8,341
traffic fatalities that occurred in urban locations. Out of those fatalities, 54 percent of
those not wearing their seat belt were in rural locations, compared to 48 percent in
urban locations.
People who live in rural areas might believe that the close-knit nature of their small
town will get them out of a ticket. However, motorists should not think that knowing
the officer who pulled them over will help them avoid a ticket. Cops are cracking
down everywhere on those not wearing their seat belts.
