- 13951: 1984: Some Prophecies Have Come True
- 1984: Some Prophecies Have Come True In many ways 1984 by George Orwell, was ahead of its time--- ironically, it parallels present day society in the U.S. in many ways. Yet at the same time, the novel falls short---certain prophecies have yet to come true. The story 1984 predicted many truths about present day society, truths such as illegal prostitution, brainwashing ... day society it is very much illegal. Within the novel, during newspeak, thought criminals spoke about the crimes they committed. The most popular crime was engaging in sexual activities with a prostitute. Now we wouldn't be tortured for it today but we can serve jail time for soliciting with a prostitute. Another example in the book was the prediction of brainwashing. The truth is that today people are being brainwashed constantly and some times they don't even know it. For example people are always being brainwashed into buying a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages. Winston was brainwashed into conforming to the normal society by ...
- 13952: A Comparison of the Status of Women in Classical Athens and Early Christianity
- ... were mere slaves to men. Today women are near equals in almost all fields. In 411 B.C., when Lysistrata was written, men had many stunning advantages to that of their female counterparts. Although women's rights between 30 and 100 A.D., the time of the New Testament, were still not what they are today, the treatment of women was far better. Overall, the equality of women in the New Testament exceeds that of the women in Lysistrata in three major ways: physical mobility, society's view of women's nature, and women's public legal rights. Albeit in Lysistrata the women were shown as revolutionaries rising up against the men, women in classical Greece were never like that. Aristophanes created the play as ...
- 13953: A Plan In The Making The Const
- ... these views or theories discussed in this essay are my own. The convention that is referred to was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It began In May of 1787. I will first discuss John P. Roche s views on the framing of the Constitution. He begins talking about the Founding Fathers. He called great democratic politicians. He says that even though they were great politicians, they had to proceed with caution. This was because they did not want to upset the public. They needed to keep the people s interest in concern at all times. Roche said that the Founding Father s relied on experience not reason. He argues that even though the politicians wanted something else, they still had to conform to the general population. If they did not, then the public would not accept ...
- 13954: Computer Crimes
- ... for any of a wide variety of reasons. Many groups break into computers for capital gain while still others do it as a means to pass time at work or at school. For most it's a thrill to figure out how to break into a computer. Most people never have any intention of causing harm. I believe that for the vast majority of people it's merely the thrill of the "hunt" at pushes them to such great lengths. Many employees that work in large corporations feel that they don't get paid as much as they should. Therefore if they have high security clearance they are able to capitalize from that by selling the data they have access to on the black-market. Whether ...
- 13955: America Expansion Of 1700s
- ... the western lands as an opportunity for large amounts of free land, for growth of industry, and manifest destiny. This hunger for more wealth and property, led Americans conquer lands that were rightfully someone else's. Manifest destiny and westward expansion brought many problematic issues to the Unites States verses the Indians that took the Americans to the Civil War. The first issue that arose for the Americans, was where to ... took had to do with forcing the Indians off their land. They managed to trick the Indians by making treaties with them. The Indians were practically forced to agree with the treaties. Most Americans didn't even keep their promises. For example, in the Treaty of Fort Stanwiz of 1784 and the Treaty of Fort McIntosh of 1785, the Iroquois and other Ohio Indians were forced to give a portion of their land to the United States. The U. S. then proceeded to divide up this land, but settlers could not buy any of it until 1788. Many Americans became restless and decided to go in and settle these lands illegally, not honoring their ...
- 13956: The Crucible: John Proctor
- The Crucible: John Proctor A character is an elaborate blend of emotions and characteristics. Even though the character's emotions are significant because they make an individual feel for the character may it be sympathy or anger. The characteristics are very also important because they make the character. They describe the character's nature even if they are good hearted or if they are evil incarnate. Many times there is one word that can single- handedly describe the character's reaction or behavior toward some other anomaly. In John Proctor's case the word that illustrates him in entirety is ethical. Bravery is a trait that suits John Proctor well. When Proctor tried to ...
- 13957: Creativity
- ... no argument against creativity being an important aspect of our society, there is, however, a question whether creativity is spawned by mental disorder. Albert Einstein came up with ideas that seemed impossible or eccentric. Froyd's psychology theorems were laughed at, but now widely used and accepted. Both men were highly successful with their work. Einstein was considered a slow person and mentally incapable by his teachers. Froyd was an excellent ... Personality). His tests focused on the hemispheres of the brain in which he stated that " . . . left - hemisphere style is related to less creativity than right - hemisphere and interhemisphere styles." (Journal of Personality). Results of Torrance's study prompted others to reject his conclusion by maintaining that ". . . intellectual superiority is the primary determining factor in creative performance." (Kirk & Gallager 1983). Intelligence might not be a major factor in innovations but according to William F. Allmen of U.S. News and World Report, " . . . history's most creative minds clearly operate on a different plane." It is this millennium long mind set that prompted psychologist Howard Gardner to examine, or build, a profile of ...
- 13958: Is Jesus A Socialist - The Jun
- ... Socialist by using his actions and words to conform with Socialist ideas. Although one cannot say interpretations are right or wrong, Sinclair blasphemously uses the Bible for his own ideas. In the beginning of Lucas’s speech on Jesus he says that Jesus was a man “whose whole being was one flame of hatred for wealth, and all that wealth stands” (Sinclair 334). There are examples in the Bible that might lead one to infer that Jesus was a hater of wealth, but he didn’t. In fact, he dined at many wealthy individuals’ houses, i.e. “Jesus at a Pharisee’s House” (Luke 14:1-24). If he hated the rich and “well to do” he would not even associate with them. Jesus only disliked the many lavish things that rich people did with their ...

- ... if necessary. Another article on the subject is Some Key Questions for the Waco Hearings in the magazine Human Events, written by James Bovard. He cites documents from a fellow journalist, James Pate, exposing U.S. Military involvement in the attack on Waco. He also shows that the reason given by government officials for gassing the Davidians was inaccurate. They said it was to persuade them to come out, the U.S. Army Field Manual states Generally persons reacting to CS(type of gas used) are incapable of executing organized and concerted actions, excessive exposure may make them incapable of vacating the area. Also stated in the ... the dry agent CS, do not discharge indoors, accumulating dust may explode when exposed to spark or open flame. The author concludes that Waco will haunt the government until the truth comes out.

- ... of fluid with his surgically crippled arm in order to stop the painful electric shock that coursed through his body. The ceiling and walls of the chamber were covered with blood. I remember Dr. Taub's assistant, John Kunz, telling me that some monkeys would break their arms in desperate attempts to escape the chair and the intense electric shocks." Young chimpanzees, 3 or 4 years old, were crammed, two together ... been confined in these cages for more than three months. The chimps had each other for comfort, but they would not remain together for long. Once they are infected, probably with hepatitis, they will be s eparated and placed in another cage. And there they will remain, living in conditions of severe sensory deprivation, for the next several years. During that time, they will become insane. From the capture of primates ... inherently cruel. History has shown that many important medical advances have been made by clinical research and close observations of human patients, not animal research, which is often unnecessary. "There are whole countries that don't use healthy animals to train veterinarians or teach surgical techniques," said Liska, who's been researching the issue since 1974. In England they use only sick or injured animals and do much work on ...
