- ... was not a radical one. China was still a state in which the central government retained the dominant power in economic resource allocation and local officials worked for the interest of the units under their control (Solinger 103).

- 1575: Hacking
- ... United States so worried? Most of America's infrastructure is either driven or connected by computers.

"An adversary capable of implanting the right virus or accessing the right ... game was run in two week period and the results are very frightening. The attack was run by a set of people using standard Internet techniques, and they could have shut down the command-and-control capability in the Pentagon for a considerable period of time. The computer experts simply used programs widely available on the Internet to show that foreign nations can wreak electronic havoc using the darker regions of the Internet.

- 1576: Female Genital Mutilation
- ... an attempt to reduce the sex drive of women, making them less likely to be sexually active before marriage or engage in extra-marital affairs.

Female genital mutilation is often compared to male circumcision. Both procedures remove all or part of the functioning genitalia and both seek to control the body and sexuality.

A more precise analogy would be between a clitoridectomy ... apart. The operator uses a cutting instrument, a collection of thorns for suturing the wound, and a powder mixture of sugar, gum, and other herbs, ashes or pulverized animal manure, which is later applied to control excessive hemorrhaging.

- ... even a step further, I am going to look at Lauren R. Tucker’s effort to analyze the movie for the same purpose as mine.

Morality was a dirty word: the preserve of men in funny hats dictating to ...

Lucidity and control in dreams are not the same thing. It is possible to be lucid and have little control over dream content, and conversely, to have a great deal of control without being explicitly aware that one is dreaming.

- 1580: Demand For Medical Care
- ... expenses. “As medical care spending continues to escalate, the search for alternatives to slow its growth has focused on the supply side of the market. Modifying provider behavior is seen as the only way to control run-away spending. By ignoring the demand side of the market, we may be foregoing one of the most powerful forces available for cost-control, individual self-interest (Henderson p.149).” The most important aspect we need to get control of is the patient factors, which include health status, demographics and economic status.
