- 561: Artificial Contraceptives
- ... This is my argument. Why you ask? Well, although my viewpoint sounds a little radical, I have come up with several reasons why natural is better. Funk and Wagnall’s New Encyclopedia defines with birth control as any method used to prevent pregnancy from occurring. Methods available today range from permanent procedures such as surgical sterilization to temporary methods that must be with each act of intercourse. Sterilization, for example, has ... expensive, costing up to $2,500. In addition, complications like infections or blood clots may occur (Planned Parenthood, pg. 3). Moreover, sometimes people later regret not being able to have children. Another form of birth control is the intrauterine device or IUD. IUD’s are tiny metal or plastic loops or coils that are placed in the uterus. They have an effectiveness of 95-99%(Funk & Wagnall’s, pg.98). A ... 12,000 women have filed damage suits for complications ranging from debilitating pain and severe bleeding to perforated uteri, unplanned pregnancies, spontaneous miscarriages, and septic abortions(Perry & Dawson, pg. 1). Yet, another method of birth control is the oral contraceptive, better known as “the pill”. Oral contraceptives are chemicals that work by altering a woman’s normal hormonal patterns so that ovulation does not occur(Funk & Wagnall’s, pg.98). ...
- 562: Sneakers - The Movie
- ... During the movie everyone desires to get their hands on this box, as they know what power it holds. At one stage in the movie they use the box to enter into the airport terminal control center where they have the power to direct aircrafts wherever they want. They have the ability to access the FBI database or any other government agency’s database in the world; such access gives the ... power. The small group of people who have the box know that once these agencies have the box they will use the power for destructive purposes. That’s why they must do everything in their control to prevent this from happening. Most of the world’s infrastructure is either driven or connected by computers. Financial networks, the flow of oil and gas through pipelines, water reservoirs, sewage treatment plants, power and air traffic control systems, telecommunications, emergency services are just a few examples of what is run by computers. This is how such a device as this black box can be used to gain admission to all of ...
- 563: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- ... work, and learn. The medications may also improve physical coordination, such as handwriting and ability in sports. Recent research by NIMH suggests that these medicines may also help children with an accompanying conduct disorder to control their impulsive, destructive behaviors. Unfortunately, when people see such immediate improvement, they often think medication is all that’s needed. But “these medicines don’t cure the disorder; they only temporarily control the symptoms. Although the drugs help people pay better attention to complete their work, they can’t increase knowledge or improve academic skills. The drugs alone can’t help people feel better about themselves or ... they can be addictive to teenagers and adults if misused, these medications are not addictive in children. They seldom make children “high” or jittery. Nor do they sedate the child. Rather, the stimulants help children control their hyperactivity, inattention, and other behaviors. Different doctors use the medications in slightly different ways. Cylert is available in one form, which naturally lasts 5 to 10 hours. Titalin and Dexedrine come in short- ...
- 564: George Lucas and Movies: No Future?
- ... to do. There is no more guessing about disease or how a person is feeling. Everything is fed to a computer which processes the information and figures out what to do. Computers have begun to control the lives of the people and it is almost to the point that they are running society as a whole. Computers are no longer devices that simplify life for humans; humans are now devices that ... life any more. The society is no longer a society of people. It is a society of machines. The people have become the technology. The technology that the people worked so hard to create and control, now controls them. Robert Zemeckis shows a much nicer and happier future in Back to the Future. Technology is still very present, but the people are still in control. Society is almost the same place as it is today. The people still work and still have their own personality and still make decisions for themselves. Nothing seems to have changed from the present ...
- 565: Computer Security And The Law
- ... to establish the scope of computer security is "automated information system," often abbreviated "AIS." An Ais is an assembly of electronic equipment, hardware, software, and firmware configured to collect, create, communicate, disseminate, process, store and control data or information. This includes numerous items beyond the central processing unit and associated random access memory, such as input/output devises (keyboards, printers, etc.) Every AIS is used by subjects to act on objects ... behind that for confidentiality[4]. This is because the integrity problem has until recently been addressed by restricting access to AIS to trustworthy subjects. Today, the integrity threat is no longer tractable exclusively through access control. The desire for wide connectivity through networks and the increased us of commercial off the shelf software has limited the degree to which most AIS's can trust accelerating over the past few years, and ... to establish the scope of computer security is "automated information system," often abbreviated "AIS."

- 566: Charles Manson: Orgins of a Madman
- ... of the most sinister and evil criminals of all time. He organized the murders that shocked the world and his name still strikes fear into American hearts. Manson's childhood, personality, and uncanny ability to control people led to the creation of a family-like cult and ultimately to the bloody murders of numerous innocent people. Charles M. Manson was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 11, 1934. His mother, Kathleen ... thing he did was to deprogram both their ego and their "hang ups," about conventional society. By "hang ups," he meant anything he did not like. Richard DeMargeno, a criminologist, believed Manson was able to control these people by replacing their father figures. "It wasn't a very difficult process. He was dealing with lonely insecure people in need of a father figure, people who didn't have much ego to begin with. What he did, in effect, was to tear down that ego and substitute himself, thus gaining enormous control over his followers." 2 To his girls, Charles Manson was a "beautiful man who loved us all totally." Later, a group of young women outside of Manson's murder trial replied, "We're waiting ...
- 567: Elites And The Masses
- ... all other aspects of society are subordinate to. These organizations use their resources in an attempt to dominate each other and society. Managerialism tells us that power is concentrated among a group of elites who control organizations, and use them as an instrument to gain more power and expand their realm of control. Organizational power is increasingly the most important force that explains the direction of change in both state and society (Alford and Friedland, p.174). Thus, elites are becoming the most important factor that determines our ... or bureaucracies to advise and influence them on decisions. Bureaucracies are groups of individuals doing specialized tasks which blend into a cohesive and efficient unit. Power becomes increasingly centralized within bureaucracies and the elites who control them because as they grow, becoming more powerful, they use that power to gain more control over the masses. Weber saw the historical development of societies as a movement toward rational forms of organization, ...
- 568: Monopoly And Microsoft
- Monopoly and Microsoft Webster’s dictionary defines monopoly as ‘exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action; exclusive possession or control; a commodity controlled by one party.’ In other words, through a variety of means, a producer may obtain sole or near sole control of a market. Through the control of the market, a monopoly restricts production, raises prices above fair market value, and prevents markets from efficient use of resources. This is accomplished towards the goal of maximizing profits (Parkin 120). Certain characteristics ...
- 569: Creon's Role Of King and His Responsibilities
- ... him to state: I was not born with such a frantic yearning to be a king- but to do what kings do. And so it is with every one who has learned wisdom and self-control. (36.587-590) He means that he has never desired the position of king, because he sees no advantage over his present position in the state. Rather, he sees the disadvantage of the fear that accompanies the position of king. Creon has evaluated this situation for his circumstances and then goes further in stating that anyone with wisdom and self-control would come to such a conclusion as well. This could be interpreted as an insult to Oedipus in two different ways. Creon could mean that Oedipus and anyone else who desires and assumes the kingship are by nature not people of wisdom and self-control- or he could be saying that the position of the kingship is one that strips an individual of his wisdom and self-control. In support of the assertion that the kingship changes one's ...
- 570: Parental Guidance Against Television Violence
- ... producers have rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, the government becomes a lame duck with no freedom to move in any which way over the debate of television violence. Thus, parents need to take control and not wait on the government to act effectively. By their own efforts, parents must learn how to regulate and censor the violence that their children view on TV. However, many disagree that parents should ... child's television viewing. One such way in which parents could regulate their televisions is by the V-chip. The V-chip was what the President and Congress approved for parental use in order to control the violence their children saw on TV. A V-chip enables parents to screen "out content, particularly violence, that they deem inappropriate for their children's viewing" (Kunkel 624). The V-chip was a good ... it has failed to completely satisfy parents’ desires for less violent programming. As a result, parents must look elsewhere for more promising solutions. A new solution is the "Weemot." "The Weemot is a television remote control designed for young children, ages 3-8" ("Weemot" 1). It has a simple controller for a child to use. It also has a parental control feature, which will allow the parent to select the ...
