- 911: Television Born Killers
- ... been ignored. There has not been a great deal of investigation into the dynamics of how the behaviour arises. Only the effects are studied, not the processes. Fourthly, failure to consider the controversy relating to crime and violence in the media and why it is controversial is another weakness in the studies. However, Cumberbatch does mention two books which focus on the politics of research and campaigning in this field. They ... and questionnaires. They found that heavy viewing led to a 'television-biased' view of Australia as a 'mean and violent' place. The children with the bleakest picture of Australia were those who most watched American crime adventure programs, but did not judge the USA to the same extent. Gerbner reported evidence for 'resonance' - a 'double dose' effect which may boost cultivation. This is held to occur when the viewer's everyday life experiences are congruent with those depicted in the television world. For instance, since on television women are most likely to be victims of crime, female heavy viewers are led to feel especially fearful for themselves as women. The cultivation effect is also argued to be strongest when the viewer's neighbourhood is similar to that shown on television. ...
- 912: Biogrophy Of Dostoevsky
- Fyodor Dostoevsky drew upon his many hardships and life experiences in order to instill a sense of realism and truth into the novel Crime and Punishment. He bases many of the characters in the novel on his own life. By incorporating his own life challeges into the novel, there is a greater sense of personal reflection and emotional honesty. This is what brings the story to life. Perhaps one of the greatest occurences that influenced the writing of Crime and Punishment was the death of Dostoevsky's father. His father was a former army doctor who was murdered by serfs. Although his father had been an alcoholic, and abused Dostoevsky both mentally and physically ... He despised the army, and this made him despise all forms of the government, including the Russian Orthodox Church. His lonliness during this period is parallel to the lonlieness that Raskolnikov faces in the novel Crime and Punishment. Technical studies and the army greatly bored him. While he was in the army, he decided to become a writer, because he could express himself freely. In 1844 Dostoevsky finally decided to ...

- 914: Freedom of Speech: Censorship on the Internet
- ... Internet which is grossly offensive by any standards, such as paedophile material, is extremely difficult to find because of its small amounts. Of the 976 obscenity cases handled between 1991 and 1993 only 11 involved computer files, while 0.3% of the obscene material seized by Customs staff in 1992-93 were computer items (Cornwall, 1994). This paper considers the question of censorship on the Internet - does it exist, in what form, should it exist and what should be censored? The Internet To understand many of the questions raised an understanding of how the Internet originated is important. The internet grew out of developments in packet switching and distributed computer networks designed to be secure in time of war: distributed computer networks are less susceptible to damage because transmissions can be routed around the damage. Standard protocols ensure that any platform can be connected ...
- 915: Put the Death Penalty to Death
- ... room for error in a death penalty trial. People fell sorry for someone who has been wrongfully robbed of a loved one. What if the person on trial was not the person who committed the crime? "According to the 1987 Stanford University survey, at least 23 Americans have been wrongfully executed in the 20th century" (Spinler 1). Although this may not seem like an enormous figure, try to imagine how someone ... about it long and hard. According to Laijas, " If people are thinking of committing murder and are aware that they will be released because of early parole, then it will not effectively deter any future crime from happening" (1). The people who commit murder are aware that they, more than likely, will not receive death. Because of the way that justice has to be served in America, the death penalty cannot be an effective deterrent for crime. A major argument for modern supports of the death penalty is that it will act as a deterrent for crime. Wofford says, "Use of the death penalty is as intended by law could actually ...
- 916: Technology: Friend or Foe?
- ... us creating new forms of frustration and stress. We can not live with it, but we can not live without it. If we fail to conform ourselves, will we remain the ignorant victims of the computer age? Will we become its slave? This is the focus of this presentation. We have learned from our readings that the Luddites learned about the technology that was being abused in their time. They worked ... were skilled technicians. They understood that it was not the power of a useful machine they were fighting but the power of those who mismanaged it. The same can be said for the management of computer technology. There is not doubt that computer technology has become central to the operation of global multinationals, financial markets, security surveillance, and as well as everyday life. There is little we can do with a computer interface device that will preserve ...
- 917: Death to the Death Penalty
- ... or are mental patients. In none of these cases is it possible that the fear to be sentenced to death could act as an effective deterrent. There is another heavy limit. One who plans a crime rationally can choose to go on, although he knows the risk he's running, thinking that he won't be discovered. Most of the criminologists assert that the best way to discourage murderers isn't increasing the severity of punishment, but increasing the possibility of discovering the crime and condemning the culprit. This will take care of the truly deserving people, who know and understand what they are doing. Sometimes death penalty has opposite effects to the ones wanted. Those who know they risk to be sentenced to death can be encouraged to kill the witnesses of their crime or anyone who could be able to identify and incriminate them. To prevent their own death, they would kill again, and eventually get away with the preliminary murder. Data about crime in abolitionist countries ...
- 918: Macbeth: Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Than Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
- ... the most dreadful murder by killing the King; Duncan. This is why it is difficult to determine which one of these two is more guilty, because they each do their own part in committing the crime. Lady Macbeth would prepare the plan and then encourage Macbeth to go through with it. Macbeth did the actual murdering, he was also the first person who thought about killing Duncan. Furthermore he did some ... Lady Macbeth did not have any involvement in these cases. Based on these facts, Macbeth would be found more guilty than Lady Macbeth. The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and that is all that counts.

- 919: INTEL Knows Best? A Major Marketing Mistake
- ... and the source of his current dilemma is an anxious management philosophy built around the motto 'Only the paranoid survive'." However, even with this type of philosophy the resulting dominance he has achieved in the computer arena cannot be overlooked. Intel practically dominates the computer market with $11.5 billion in sales. Intel has over 70% of the $11 billion microprocessor market, while it's Pentium and 486 chips basically control the IBM-compatible PC market. All of these factors ... advertising the benefits of their products. This advertising led consumers to regard brands as having very human personality traits, with one proving fundamental to brand longevity -- trustworthiness."

This "push" marketing strategy of Intel totally dominated the market, thus forcing the Pentium chip to the forefront of ...
- 920: The Scarlet Letter: Human Beings are Evil?
- ... make themselves look better, by lowering the criminal below their level. These moral judges also try to play God, by selecting, and if they have enough power, executing their decision as a punishment for the crime committed. It is as clear as glass, that these decisions that come from evil beings will also be immoral, and evil. Decisions made by moral judges reflect how much evil they possess within them. Hester had to stand on the scaffold, which was a place for public shame, and had everybody judge her for her crime, committing adultery. This punishment was decided for her by a group men who had political power. These men also thought that they were punishing an evil person, Hester, because she had sinned, and offended God ... about yourself, and especially judging others, since only God can judge, and will on the Judgment Day, is a sin. That just proves again that these moral judges, who are no less evil than the crime committed, they have no right to judge, nor execute others. Today the same problems are still here, and they did not go away a time passed, they only got more complicated. Human beings are ...
