- 811: Trapped Inside the TV
- ... Colonial America. This place we call home, America was founded by a group of intellectual men who brought over readings, and books from the “Old World” to start their “New World” with. In America literacy rates climbed, and everyone wanted to read. As time went on, reading was no longer considered an elitist activity but rather an activity that was spread throughout all of America. “Every man was close to what ... to becoming a commodity. The value of the information passed through the telegraph was no longer tied to any position in social or political decision making, or actions. Instead information is now connected to novelty, interest and curiosity. The telegraph helped information become moveable, but did not help collect it, explain it, or analyze it. Along with the invention of the telegraph came a new type of conversation, one that could ...
- 812: Obstacles Toward Development
- ... not well developed like ours. Problems that stop these countries from developing are 1. Low levels of living, comprising low incomes, high inequality, poor health and inadequate education. 2. Low levels of productivity. 3 High rates of population growth and Dependency Burdens. 4. High levels of Unemployment and Underemployment. 5. Significant dependence on agricultural production and primary product exports. 6. Dominance, dependence, and vulnerability in international relations. Low levels of living ... countries are exporting basic foodstuffs, nonfood cash crops, and raw materials. Most of their earning is come from export. Although they earned many foreign exchanges through exports but they used the money to pay the interest they borrow from other developed countries. In the recent years, their foreign currency is flowing out more than they received. This is because their export is lower than their import. The last factor is Dominance ...
- 813: A Lesson From Oliver
- ... of almost twelve hundred students for the past five years I'd had daily access to the opinions of over ten per cent of Thistle's entire population. My informal poll results indicated a clear interest for an all heavy-metal format. Still, there was no point in attempting a coup for control of the airwaves until I'd first learned a few things like, for instance, how to turn on ... on the air; but no, as I came to discover, you'd have to be far more unprofessional than that to faze Linus Lindberg. "So what's up for eleven, Cronkite?" he asked with half interest. "There's a bank robbery!" I wheezed in my breathlessness. "Oh yeah?" he remarked noncommittally. "Yeah," I said, "just across at the credit union." "Across where?" "Across the street!" "No kidding," he remarked, displaying the ... of practice, I suppose. But in the end I opted, after all, for theatre school. In the theatre one didn't have to make pretentions of sincerity; an actor is a phoney by definition. Of interest: I was not alone in the field of professionals whose career paths were altered that day. The man who'd accompanied the suspect from the building was a local who, it seems, had recently ...
- 814: Thomas Hobbes
- ... is no singular, ever-present power to keep man in awe, and to control man by fear of punishment from that singular power, that man will break his agreements and act in his own self-interest. "For the Lawes of Nature (as Justice, Equity, Modesty, Mercy, and (in summe) doing to others, as wee would be done to,) of themselves, without the terrour of some Power, to cause them to be ... Revenge, and the like. And Covenants, without the Sword, are but Words, and of no strength to secure a man at all." (Hobbes, pg.117) The laws that are enacted are contrary to our self-interest, so without the terror of some ever-present power to instill fear in all man, we would abstain from no measure in order to preserve our own well being. In a state of war man ... obviously, a sovereign would be needed to maintain peace and to keep all men in fear of punishment. If not for that ever-present fear of punishment, man would do whatever was in his self-interest, eventually leading all to a state of chaos and war. I do not believe that Hobbes' account of political power is convincing because I do not believe the nature of man is that bad. ...

- ... deliberately create images of hate or disagreement (Howitt, Cumberbatch 1975:80). They just influence the more appealing things in society (thus directly increasing their ratings). Although it is obvious that pornography is largely a male interest, a noted increase in female interest would certainly cause an increase in the amount of pornographic material geared for women; this relates to the laws of the business world (Christensen 1990:50). Having discussed the untruthfulness of the claims against pornography ... media such as Reader’s Digest (Howitt, Cumberbatch 1975:80). The study was conducted over a three week period over which time it was discovered that the males involved in the experiment began to lose interest, or become desensitized to the erotic media nearing the end of the experiment, even if new material was added. To address the argument that males are pushed over the “brink” into committing rape because ...

The living standards and nutrition chipped in as well. The public health authorities improved sanitation ... 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.

- ... a computer to gain access to a separate business or bank and transfer funds to accounts that they control. The fourth category is the information hacker. The individual or group in this context has no interest in financial theft and instead seeks information or at least access to information. This is the point at which any analysis of motive becomes problematic. To offer clearly demarked lines between the motives of one ... of criminal the computer is just a tool with which to illegally access funds which otherwise would be completely unavailable. This apparently obvious statement becomes relevant when compared with the informational motivated computer criminal whose interest is primarily focussed upon the computer and its interaction with other computers. A large percentage of financial computer crime takes place within the boundaries of a legal occupation. Green (1990: 13) defines as occupational crime ... help at the author's former Bayreuth chair, and a deal was agreed on with the prosecution authorities: The hacker revealed his knowledge and the investigation against him was suspended.
