The learning theory has been modified over the years, including Miller's idea of "cultural transmission" and the "lower-class way of life". He concluded that lower-class adolescents "get into trouble because they are faithful to the cultural standards learned from their parents" (Empey,1982, p.199). I agree with Goode's view on this theory which is that growing up with deviance can influence your own actions, but overall deviant acts are committed because of the way individual minds process and evaluate situations. Control theory studies ... we are to conventional institutions…the more involved we are in conventional activities…and the more deeply we believe in the norms of conventional institutions…the less likely it is that we will violate society's norms and engage in deviant behavior" (p.91). I feel that this perspective is very realistic and that it is true that everyone has the urge to commit some kind of deviant act, whether ...

Obviously the person who committed this crime was a Bergen Pines basket case, but I think that if the media wasn’t so big on showing 6 yr olds as beautiful models dressed up to look provocative, these pedophiles wouldn’t get much of a chance to view such pageants. The more exposure we get of something, the more acceptable it becomes in our society whether it’s wrong or right. Personally I’ve realized ...

- ... think freedom is through a very different perspective. I am going to tell you what freedom is through the eyes of a student exceeding the intellectual status quote in the topic of computers, a person's right to be curious. I think you have a different word to describe me as… I wouldn't like to use that word considering that most people take it more of a malicious person that has nothing else to do with his time. My name is Luis Rivera, also known as "Knightmare" in the cyberworld. Some people can call me a hacker, others can just call me smart. I don't prefer being called a hacker due to the fact (of which I stated earlier) that people, especially business people, make it sound like a hacker is someone who destroys precious information in which they ...

- 14818: Aquired Dyslexia
- ... tasks the human brain must carry out. The way in which children acquire language is studied very carefully. This acquisition is enhanced by teaching from skilled language users, but in itself acquired by the child’s own observation and learning. For this reason the acquisition of spoken language is perhaps more well documented then the taught acquisition of reading skills. It is hard to determine how the human brain deals with ... meaning and therefore reading. These routes have been termed the phonological route and the direct route. There has been a more recent suggestion of a third route to reading words aloud. A patient named W.T. could read aloud a wide variety of regular and irregular words. However out of numerous non words presented to him he could only read 25% of the words aloud. It was thought therefore that there was some damage to the patient’s phonological route.

They use advanced mind reading techniques to discover the thoughts of the people and punish those who show signs of rebellion ... was somewhat wrong in the date. Although some of the things described in the book are going on today, several things are not going to happen for some time to come. I believe that Orwell's purpose for writing 1984 was to express his feelings of how the governments would come to control everything and anything it wished to do.
