- 1571: In Cold Blood
- ... man" (Matuz 103). Also, what would motivate a person to go through with the murders when they discovered that their was no money, and that was what they came there for? We know that this crime is definitly without motivation because we know that Floyd Wells told Perry and Dick of the Clutter's land because he use to work there. After telling Dick of the land and wealth he believed ... know he didn't because of a live broadcast prior to the hanging. How ever, on the positive side, it has been said that "In Cold Blood is the best documentary account of an American crime that has ever been written" (Reed 118). His unique form of setting the book up with 86 unnumbered chapters has also been looked into: The book is by any standards a monumental job of editing ... Clutter family murder clearly did not have to happen. This was one of the most savage murders of that time period. Perry and Dick have paid the ultimate price for the inhumane, unnessacary, and motivationless crime they committed. Dick and Perry were sick individuals to commit the crimes in the seriousness that they had been carried out. The Clutter's were a well rounded family with love and respect from ...
- 1572: Frederick Douglass
- ... punished slaves. A northerner with any sense of justice would be furious that it was not considered wrong to whip a slave "till (they were) literally covered with blood" (4) nor was it considered a crime to kill a slave. Masters and overseers justified severely whipping their slaves because "it (was) the duty of a master…to whip a slave, to remind him of his master’s authority." (46) Slaves were ... of punishment to infuriate the northern white reader that a person was punished in advance of any wrongdoing, was whipped almost to the brink of death, and was murdered without it being "treated as a crime by the courts or community." (14) Treatment of one person by another in these ways was not tolerated in the north. This "fiendish barbarity" (46) would appall the northern reader and would lead them to ... not knowing whom his father was, how slaves were treated as if they had less value than an animal, and the fact that slaves were brutally beaten and sometimes killed without it being considered a crime. Douglass also hoped to tarnish his northern white readers’ view of southern slave holders and their practices by illustrating how they had adulterous and interracial affairs with their salves whom they considered to be ...
- 1573: Cry The Beloved Country - Corruption
- ... represent this wide spread illness of society, John Kumalo, Gertrude, Abasalom, just to name a few. Johannesburg itself is the summary of all that is wrong with cities of today. There is corruption and poverty. Crime runs rampant, and law-abiding citizens are forced to survive as they can. One of the most typical products of corruption in Cry The Beloved Country is John Kumalo. He has a woman living with ... victim of circumstance. Allan Paton presents Johannesburg as a nest of corruption in the book. As a matter of fact all the other corruption mentioned in the story is stemming from Johannesburg: John, Gertrude, Abasalom, crime, prostitution, racism, segregation. Johannesburg isn’t only corrupt in itself; it corrupts all most all that it touches. This city is very much a downscaled version of anyone of numerous major cities in the world ... and white out this blot on the beauty of our civilization. In Cry the beginnings of this are shown. A white man is helping a black community; in turn these people will not turn to crime in order to survive.
- 1574: Cask Of Amontillado
- ... high point of emotional involvement. It is at this point that the reader may ask themselves if this is really about to happen. The conclusion lets us know that Montresor was never punished for this crime. Fifty years has passed and he is an old man telling the story on his deathbed. The true horror is that Fortunato died a terrible death, utterly alone, and his killer was never brought to justice. The theme in the story is perhaps the least important feature. After all, it is about a senseless crime. Maybe the idea behind the story is that no one can find refuge from a deranged mind, or that terrible crimes can be committed when an imaginary offense can fester into reality. In this story ... and Fortunato might have sensed something evil about Montresor’s intentions and left the vaults before it was too late. Poe uses irony throughout the story. There is situational irony in the fact that the crime takes place during a celebration, that Fortunato’s name means good luck, and that Fortunato is dressed like a jester. What is about to happen is just the opposite of what you would expect. ...

- 1576: Hamlet Research Paper
- ... indecision and resulting isolation since his duty to the monarchy and to society is in direct conflict with his duty to his dead father. Society's view of murdering a king as the most sacrilegious crime of all is illustrated by Claudius when he reflects on his own actions in killing his brother, King Hamlet. An understanding of the conflict facing Hamlet that leads to his isolation occurs because there is ... even though his 'inclination' is 'as sharp as will', and his determination is overpowered by his 'stronger guilt' which defeats his 'strong intent' to find peace with God. This illustrates society's view of this crime as being unholy. The horror of murdering a brother is emphasized by Claudius who describes the offense as 'rank' and as having 'the primal eldest curse upon't'. He means that this is the oldest ... regarded as being honorable, and so that he can come to terms with his revenge. The unholiness of killing a king and a close relative is highlighted by Claudius when he reflects on his own crime of killing King Hamlet.

- 1577: E-Commerce
- ... 19. To Reach The Specialized Market Sell fish tanks, art reproductions, flying lessons? One may think that the Internet is not a good place to be. Well, think again. The Internet isn't just for computer science students anymore. With the 70 million and growing users of the WWW, even the most narrowly defined interest group will be represented in large numbers. Since the Web has several very good search programs ... the business in every aspect. The implementation of an e-commerce solution will generate a brand new revenue stream, expand the market exposure, and decrease the operation cost.

- 1578: The Effects Of Rap On Inner Cities
- ... it, and making matters worse. Unlike rap artists’ in the early 90’s such as MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, and Tone Loc, today’s wave of rap artists’ focus much of their music on violent crime, mainly murder, and theft. In one of 2-Pac Shakur’s greatest hits, he says, “I’m a self made millionaire, thug livin’ out of prison pistols in the air.” Tupac refers to himself as ... At the same time that 2-Pac Shakur is promoting himself as a “thug,” the Bureau of Justice proved that the young blacks, living in houses with low income, were the most vulnerable to violent crime. In addition, 1 in 20 blacks compared to 1 in 26 whites commit violent crime. It can be concluded that out of the 66% of the fans of rap that live in inner cities, many of them are committing crimes. Likewise, in much of 2-Pac Shakur’s music ...
- 1579: The Movie Industry Analysis
- ... markets to the basic theatrical market but have become basic markets in themselves. The latest technological frontier for motion picture companies was in direct-access TV through telephone lines. With the advent of the new computer-based technologies, "cable" markets and direct digital-delivery of motion pictures via satellite and the Internet are expected to increase dramatically over the next five years, creating an accelerated demand for original and re-run ... chains. Even more recently, technology has improved to include such state of the art viewing options as Pay-Per-View, Digital Video Disc (DVD's), satellite television, and Home Theater (surround sound). Interactive Video and computer games are another huge new market that is rapidly expanding. Ancillary markets have proven to be invaluable sources of revenue as in the case of Star Wars and Jurassic Park. There were such spin-offs ... Lack of diversity. Opportunities - Availability of technology from other areas of the firm (Sony). This affords them the advantage of remaining on the cutting edge for new technological developments in the movie industry (DVD's, computer enhanced films).

The movie and entertainment industries are taking ...
- 1580: Stanely Kubrick
- ... Metal Jacket the dialogue of the characters becomes so entrenched in a technical jargon that the audience starts to see the characters not as humans, but rather as extensions of a machine (be it the computer machines of 2001 or the military machine of Full Metal Jacket). Thus, when Sergeant Hartman asks Gomer Pyle "What is your major malfunction?" he is treating Pyle as a machine, as a malfunctioning unit devoid ... carry with them no sense of the emotion, passion, and vitality which are all fundamentally human. Ironically the most 'human' character, in terms of showing any type of depth and range is the HAL 9000 computer. When Dave "unplugs" HAL from his mainframe, HAL displays this depth and range pleading: "Dave. Stop…Stop Dave…I'm afraid…I'm afraid Dave." Thus HAL becomes the only character in the film to display any type of in-depth human emotion, and of course this irony is furthered when the audience sees that the position of the HAL 9000 super-computer is as omnipotent and the human characters as subservient followers. Kubrick creates a world in which humans are not only parts of a mechanism (i.e. Dave's responsibilities are to HAL) but are ...
