- 2071: Kkk 3
- ... Ku Klux Klan may have some arguably decent intentions, but its disrespect for those who are not like it must stop. The Klan must learn that having pride in the white race is not a crime, but that having white pride while insulting and discriminating other races is a crime. The Klan must also realize that "American" is not a race, it is a mixed society. Regardless, they will continue their journey of hate into the next millennium attempting to destroy other peoples and cultures ...
- 2072: Government's Welfare Programs
- ... the argument on welfare's benefits and drawbacks is not. On the pro side of the argument, on which I stand, welfare aids poor families as well as the economy and may help to reduce crime. Welfare's benefits far out weigh its drawbacks. Welfare generally helps poor families survive in today's economy by providing a means for them to obtain food while they search for a job. These families receive foodstamps, to purchase food, and a small amount of dollars to aid with either rent or utilities. Because of this income from welfare, crime is reduced.

- 2074: The Central Processing Unit
- The Central Processing Unit Microprocessors, also called central processing units (CPUs), are frequently described as the "brains" of a computer, because they act as the central control for the processing of data in personal computers (PCs) and other computers. Chipsets perform logic functions in computers based on Intel processors. Motherboards combine Intel microprocessors and chipsets to form the basic subsystem of a PC. Because it's part of every one of your computer's functions, it takes a fast processor to make a fast PC. These processors are all made of transistors. The first transistor was created in 1947 by a team of scientists at Bell Laboratories in ...
- 2075: Journalistic Integrity
- ... Koch 1129). The latest scandals are just because journalists want to be stars, and that goes on in Washington more than anywhere else , says Koch, defending the media (1129). There are also cases where a crime may be truly grisly, and it might not be in the public s best interest to have it published. Thus, not all the stories that are not presented in full context are meant to mislead ... into consideration by the public, however. A myriad of journalists report the news conscientiously, leaving out pieces of stories here and there to either cut down on time, to possibly protect the victim of a crime, or to protect the public from something truly gruesome. These good deeds of responsible journalists do not black out the inferior work of poor journalists. However, the poor journalism should not damage the work of ...

- ... himself. One who understands what it is to be a ruler of a kingdom. His innocence is obvious. He does what needs to be done. Had he been guilty of murder or of any other crime he would not have gone through the process of finding the truth behind King Laius’ murder. He tells Creon "you will find me a firm ally, and together we shall exact vengeance for our land ... its tale"(7). He tells us that he cannot solve the "riddle the very skill that proved him great" (11). He cannot do it alone. Why is this? If he is so guilty of this crime and he is the "murderer that he seeks" then why does he go on with the search? (10). The reason is that he does not know that he has caused the grief for his people ...

- ... good" This masterpiece grows stronger and deeper in meaning every time one reads it. Burgess repeatedly reveals his powerful beliefs that it is even the most violent crimes are trivial when compared to the heinous crime of oppression. Burgess not only considers moral oppression to be a wrong against one's civil rights, but he also considers it to be a destructive wrong against one's spiritual existence. This book delivers ... to “Stanley Kubrick’s - A Clockwork Orange” While working as a photojournalist for Life magazine, Kubrick made an inconspicuous entrance into film making with Fear and Desire (1953) and Killer's Kiss (1955).

Paths of Glory (1957) solidified his reputation as a filmmaker interested in depicting the individual at the ...
- 2078: Piaget Theory Vs Information P
- ... in the 1920s (Beard, 1969 ). Piaget's theory has a biological perspective to cognitive development and focuses on broad, qualitative stages. Another acknowledged theory is the information- processing theory which, approaches cognitive development from a computer accentuated perspective, and focuses on the more narrow, continuous, quantitative changes (Westen, 1996).

Her epiphany came, hidden from the audience, before she hung herself. Creon's "nobleness" of taking in young Antigone and Ismene ...
- 2080: American Exceptionalism
- ... edged sword." In explaining what is meant by the "double-edged sword of American exceptionalism, Lipset admits that for America, being different, being an "outlier" does not necessarily mean being better. America has the highest crime rates in the world, the highest divorce rate, the greatest number of people behind bars, the greatest number of people who could vote, but do not, and a fluctuating amount of unnecessary "litigiousness." However, Lipset ... on these subjects, claiming simply that they stem from America's individualism. Quoth he: I would…like to note that those emphasize social morbidity, who focus on moral decline, for example, or on the high crime or divorce rates, ignore that evidence that much of what they deplore is closely linked to American values which presumably they approve of, those which make for achievement and independence.
