- 1401: Should The Internet Be Censore
- ... s goals are “to advocate the amendment of laws and regulations in Australia and elsewhere which restrict free speech...and to educate the community at large about the...liberties issues involved in the use of computer-based communications systems.” (President of EFA) The EFA shares similar goals with the USA’s EFF (Electronic Frontiers Foundation) These organizations believe that free speech is a right and it will be taken away by ... them.” (Fairweather) Many schools still are required to use a filtering program to censor the research that students do in school. The Board of Education in New York City has installed a filter on its computer system that blocks students from gaining access to any web sites that include categories like news and sex education. Even those of major new outlets, policy groups, and scientific and medical organizations were even blocked ... be censored, not by the government, but by the individual. If a parents feels the need to keep their child away from the dangers of the Internet, they can use a filtering program on their computer. Censoring the Internet for children is not as big a problem as a lot of people make it out to be. The Internet can be a very safe and helpful resource for children to ...
- 1402: Rae, We Pray For You
- ... him, his sanity, his maturity, his intelligence, and above all his reason. Obviously, he soon realized the magnitude of his act, as he fled as a fugitive until he was caught. Murder is not a crime of chance, you have to get the deed done and correctly, that is why Carruth hired a few thugs to do the job for him. Even if Carruth did not pull the trigger, it is ... present criminal justice system rehabilitation seems to be the operative word. It is not that Carruth is beyond rehibilition, but that he does not deserve to live. The coldness and the calculated nature of this crime leave you little choice than to think that Carruth is beyond all hope. In truth, Carruth will not get the death penalty that he truly deserves. The court system and the jury will give Carruth a second chance because of his status as a professional athlete. Is this fair? No, but neither is Carruth taking a person’s life for no reason. Murder is a senseless crime and its victims become martyrs and rightly so. When a person’s life is so coldly taken away, they deserve to live on even in death. Above all the question is why? The murder ...
- 1403: A Look At Animal Testing
- ... proponents argue that those alternatives are not effective. PETA's stance is that animal life is too valuable to risk on experimentation especially when there are alternatives, such as false human skin grown in culture, computer programs, and using human subjects. Taking a few skin cells and growing them into small squares of skin produces the false human skin. This piece of "skin" can be used to test irritation reactions to ... not known how or if these substances effect any laboratory setting, but it is desirable for any experiment to mimic real life situations as closely as possible. Another alternative to actual animal experimentation is using computer simulations. These programs are like encyclopedias of chemical information. They can only run simulations based on information on chemicals and reactions that are already known. This is an obvious problem with this "alternative." Computer simulation software cannot accurately predict the effects of enough situations and theoretical chemical combinations to be heavily relied on. What it comes down to is that there currently is no viable replacement for live, ...
- 1404: Media
- ... know at the time, there were several letters to the editor and opinion printed on the subject, but the Grand Island Independent seemed to be fair and stick to the facts. It was a horrible crime and I think they did a good job being unbiased. I think that it is a good idea to publicize crimes like this. From my other studies, I have learned that the informal sanctions, public humiliation and shame, are far more effective than the formal sanctions in preventing crime. When people who are having a hard time dealing with being a parent see something like this in the media, they may stop to think about their actions. A good idea would be to run several articles on where parents can go to for help. The combination of the two, may help prevent this from happening to another child. As a mother I have a definite interest in this crime. I cannot even begin to understand how anyone could do something like that to someone so helpless. I am also interested in this case from the legal perspective and how the case was resolved ...
- 1405: John McCain
- ... because they don't feel candidates are addressing issues important to them (Cox, Finklestein). According to a Youth Survey conducted by Project Vote Smart, voters aged 18-24 think school shootings and kids with guns, crime and violence, poverty and unemployment, corrupt government and illicit drug sales are the five most important problems facing America today ("General Population"). Meanwhile, candidates spend the majority of time discussing issues such as Social Security ... Web as their most useful information source ("General Population"). McCain is utilizing the power of the Internet to build mailing lists, solicit contributions and to attract young voters, many of whom are "more acquainted with computer networks than political networks" (Sullivan, "Virtual"). The Internet has proved to be an important organizing tool in McCain's campaign. Young people interested in becoming involved in his campaign will find a web site that ...
- 1406: Italian Mafia History
- ... cities all over the US the Mafia flourished. Al Capone in Chicago and Charles Luciano in New York (among others) amassed millions of dollars by selling alcohol and women and controlling every other aspect of crime imaginable. Towards the end of this decade the first national crime syndicate came into existence under the guidance of Luciano. Supported by strong arm, Murder, Inc., the syndicate succeeded in bringing all the individual cities under one command. Of course, if a particular boss declined to ... the 90s is an undercover organization that continues to grow in undercover power since its big drop in the late 80s. Luciano and his “associates” remain firmly in control over the larger part of organized crime in the United States. Other parts of the world have experienced an increase in organized criminal activity. The most publicized is due to the Colombian drug cartels in the 70’s. Word Count: 1182
- 1407: Domestic Violence
- ... make it an automatic felony for a husband to beat his wife. The system however does not work in the favor of the battered but rather in the favor of the batterer. "Assault is a crime in every state. Since wife beating is a form of assault, then wife beating is a crime in every state. In practice, however, wife beating is not treated as a crime but as a civil matter. Prosecutors deliberately look the other way even when a man mad it's to wife beating." (Langley and Levy 154) When the judicial system fails to help the abused, ...
- 1408: Death Penalty
- ... taking away their lives to function and perform in our society. At the same time, we must insure that innocent people such as Marshall and Millgard are never convicted or sentenced to death for a crime that they did not commit. Many contend that the use of capital punishment as a form of deterrence does not work, as there are no fewer murders on a per- capita basis in countries or ... in the past for the offence that he or she is planning, and that what happened to another individual who committed this offence, can also happen to me. But individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions. Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves. Every human has a personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not tolerate. How far they will and will not go. This personal set of ...
- 1409: Women In Islam
- ... individualistic aspirations. The anonymity and lack of social interdependence among its members in contemporary Western society have caused many serious problems. Loneliness, inadequate care of the aged, the generation gap, high suicide rates, and juvenile crime can all be traced back to the ever-worsening breakdown of social interdependence and the denial of the human necessity for mutual care. 4. THE EXTENDED FAMILY Closely intertwined with interdependence is the fourth basic ... or widowed woman in an Islamic extended family will never suffer the problems that face such women in contemporary American society, for example. In a Qur'anic society, there is no need for the commercial computer dating establishments, the singles' clubs and bars, or the isolation of senior citizens in retirement villages or old people's homes. The social and psychological needs of the individual, whether male or female, are cared ...
- 1410: The Failures Of Affirmative Ac
- ... managers fell 25% in 1969 due to restrictions put on them when affirmative action was adopted (Nebraska Advisory Committee 27). You ask, ”What did these white males do to bring about their termination?” The only crime that they were guilty of was being white. This hardly seems fair to punish so many innocent men for the crimes of a relative few. But the injustice toward the white male doesn’t end ... history has never seen.
