- 1181: No Sugar
- ... expose to his audience the extreme hardships faced by the aborigine's. There are many distinct symbols used throughout the play, however, the most evident is that of sugar. The sugar represents a means of control on behalf of the White authorities and is often referred to often by Davis. Within the opening scene it can be noted that Sam is making tea and "Lacing them generously with sugar". As the ... Davis to expose to the audience the difference in relationship that Aborigines have with the land and that the white settlers have with the land. The white settlers see the land in terms of ownership, control and boundaries with reference to certain settings in the play, at the white authorities control such as the lock up and the office. As the Aborigines don't value the land in the same way as the white settlers the control of the land by the settlers ultimately constricts ...
- 1182: Uses And Abuses Of Information
- ... entertainment and fine arts. Orwell is said to have based the infrastructure of Oceania on that of Stalinist Russia of the 1940s. I want to compare and contrast Orwell’s vision of the future and control of information to the world of today. I hope to draw parallels in the ideology of Insog, governments of the present day and those of past regimes. The rewriting of history Winston worked in the ... the time, as they put it in their secret deliberations, was ‘to direct the thought of most of the world’. (Chomsky1991). Chomsky goes on to say that the British propaganda ministry’s aim was to control the thought of the more intelligent members of the community in the United States, who would then disseminate the propaganda that they were concocting and convert the pacifistic country to wartime hysteria. He says that ... great deal of correlation is evident between their ideas. Orwell says: The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits ‘atrocities’ but that it attacks the concept of objective truth; it claims to control the past as well as the future (1944) Although we live in a so-called democracy today the practice of history rewriting still seems to be prevalent. Chomsky says: the picture of the world ...
- 1183: Internet Addiction
- ... the most extensive studies on Internet Addiction to date was conducted by Dr. Kimberly S. Young of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. In her study, Dr. Young determined that Non-dependents were able to control the amount they used the Internet and reported no adverse effects due to its use. However, dependents reported significant changes to their lives because they had simply lost control over there ability to limit the amount of time they used the Internet.9 She compared the use of the Internet to criteria traditionally utilized for other established addictions and found significant identical values.9 ... beginnings in 1973. It has spread to all corners of the earth bringing multitudes of information and communication capabilities to people everywhere. The problem for some people is that it may be too much to control. Addiction to the Internet affects the victim both psychologically and socially. Research in this area is still in the beginning phases, but the results warrant further studies. If you feel that you are losing ...
- 1184: Genetic Engineering. 2
- ... newly developed method, called polymerase chain reaction, allows for faster replication of DNA strands and does not require the use of vectors (Clarke 1). The possibilities of genetic engineering are endless. Once the power to control the instructions, given to a single cell, are mastered anything can be accomplished. For example, insulin can be created and grown in large quantities by using an inexpensive gene manipulation method of growing a certain ... disease-causing bacteria" (Stableford 61). Much success has already been obtained by treating animals with a "phage" designed to attack the E. coli bacteria (Stableford 60). Diseases caused by viruses are much more difficult to control than those caused by bacteria. Viruses are not whole organisms, as bacteria are, and reproduce by hijacking the mechanisms of other cells. Therefore, any treatment designed to stop the virus itself, will also stop the ... proof that such a procedure is possible one only needs to examine an early embryo and realize that it knows whether to turn itself into an ostrich or a human. After learning the procedure to control and activate such regeneration, genetic engineering will be able to conquer such ailments as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other crippling diseases without grafting in new tissues. The broader scope of this technique would ...
- 1185: Radio: A Form of Communication
- ... driving a loudspeaker. Comparison of AM and FM Although the method of detection differs in AM and FM receivers, the same heterodyne principle is used in each. An FM receiver, however, generally includes automatic frequency control (AFC). If the frequency of the local oscillator drifts from its correct value the station will fade. To avoid this problem, a DC voltage is developed at the detector and fed back to the local oscillator. This voltage is used to change automatically the frequency output of the local oscillator to maintain the proper intermediate frequency. Both AM and FM receivers incorporate automatic gain control (AGC), sometimes called automatic volume control (AVC). If a strong station is tuned in, the volume of the sound would tend to be overwhelming if the volume control had previously been set for a weak station. This drawback is overcome ...

- ... of mankind lack. The facade of Garson's freedom, was disguised by his physical apperance as a human. However we soon discover that beneath that skin and flesh hides a mass of mechanical gadgets that control and restrict his every thought or move. His physical structure, so brillanty cerated granted Garson with human feelings and the mirage that he was in control of his life. Eventhough Garson is an Electric Ant, he is an excellent representation of mankind's delusions and their mechanically lead lives. So repitious and monotonous are our lives that we operate like machines not realizing that we are trapped in a vicious cycle.We isolate and remove ourselves from society, hopping that we can rebel and regain control. However our inability to cope in a complex world, once againg signifies that society is in control of us.

- ... election that the American Civil War between the North and South began. The Republicans emerged from the Civil War with great political strength. The Democrats were seen as the party of slavery and secession. Republican control of the national government lasted for 72 years except for the 16 years when Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson were in the White House. The Great Depression of the 1930s had a powerful influence on ... of powers. A President cannot serve in Congress while in office. It is therefore possible for the Presidency and the Congress to be controlled by different parties, a situation that cannot occur in Britain. This control of the Congress by one party and the Presidency by another has generally been the case since World War II. The disadvantage of the American system is the deadlock that can develop between the President and the Congress over policy when each under the control of a different party. The Democratic and Republican parties in the United States are unlike parties elsewhere in the world. It is because our party system is very decentralized in structure and does not ...

Whites are, for example, individuals whose individualism is enhanced in relationship to non-Whites because it is linked to the matrix that includes wealth, access to resources, and control over the dominant institutions of society.

However, the issue of achieving "centering" has drawn the most fire, perhaps because implicit in achieving it is the political project of the struggle of a people to control their own destiny, their own definition of themselves, their own cultural way of being, and their own agenda. This is true not only in America but everywhere that people of African origin have tried ...

- ... also linked Oswald to the weapon. Fibres found on the rifles stock matched those on a shirt Oswald was wearing when he was arrested. Oswalds palm prints were also found on the underside of the gun barrel. His prints were found on a part of the rifle that was exposed only when it was taken to pieces. In an attempt to conceal the weapon, Oswald may have brought it to the ... the investigation, as Oswalds own wife had provided conclusive evidence against him.
