- 2251: The Crucible: Issues
- ... and broken lives of the families accused. As for the abuse of power, the girls in this play devour the fact of having power and at the time could pretty much accuse anyone of the crime and have them found guilty with their little sideshow acts of the devil himself. The outrageousness of their stories and the eccentric acts performed by each and everyone of them seemed to grow throughout the ... history repeat itself. The most prominent connection between the two ordeals was the fact that in either one of the accused could really be anyone. Because of this many good people were persecuted for a crime that they had nothing to do with. So throughout this play many different aspects of life are touched on and explored in a new way.

- 2252: Alcatraz
- ... by request of Warden Swope. "Many times the prison was almost shut down, but I never thought the government would actually shut this place down. It was the best thing for the country. It lowered crime rates, because it scared the citizens of the U.S. into believing they would go to "The Rock" if they were even remotely bad. They shut it down, Oh God, they shut it down" (2 ... times. The emergence of persistent assertions about J.

- 2254: The Phonograph
- ... has ever since tried to improve the reproduction of sound-a tricky task, since sound quality is in the ear of the listener. The latest attempt at perfection is digital recording. A spin-off from computer technology, digital recording breaks music down into 48,000 "samples" a second, which are encoded into words", made of varying mixtures of ones and zeroes; these are then read by a computer and turned back into sound. Digital recording gives a uniformity and accuracy of performance, particularly on high notes, that have eluded all pred 983 ecessors. It is also the system used by compact discs (CDS ...
- 2255: The Women Of Poe
- ... Craig Stannard, and of Virginia. Yet Poe also knew crass women. In his own imagination he could afford to sacrifice one of them to borrow her body. And what is this that sane people call crime but humanity's imps in pursuit of their own vitality? Yet would Poe have us focus upon the murder? Or upon something else? One also wonders what in Rowena might have been so odious that ... chamber out of what should have been the bridal chamber in a maniacal attempt to reincarnate Ligeia (58). Here we very well may have another of Poe's lunatic narrators making open confession of his crime. The three of four drops of red liquid constituted the poison which, rather than issuing forth from the atmosphere, were administered to Rowena by the narrator himself. He absolves himself almost successfully from having committed ...

- ... three different sciences, ethology, behaviour analyses, and a part of anthropology. Skinner claims that it is the combination of these three sciences that makes any kind of differences. The study of the brain by a computer can only go so far, and its once behaviour analysis goes beyond the capabilities of the computer that the second science comes into play. How would this science of behaviour be studied? Skinner lays out ten main "prescriptions" for the construction and experimental analysis of his science of behaviour. They are as ...

- ... states would inevitably become prosperous and happy." Confucius put his theories to a public test until at the age of 50 when he was appointed magistrate of Chung-tu, and the next year minister of crime of the state of Lu.

So powerful did Lu become that the ruler of a neighboring state maneuvered to secure the minister's dismissal. Confucius left his office in 496 BC, traveling about and teaching, vainly hoping ...
