- ... he obeys what people tell him to do, for instance in his conversations with Cromwell, and Chapuys, they ask him for knowledge about his master, Sir Thomas More. Firstly Cromwell asks him information concerning More's attitude towards the King's divorce of his wife the Queen.

- 4362: Understanding The Nature of Homlessness
- ... over whatever I would be up against. Reality quickly hit me, though, as I began to familiarize myself with Berkeley and its main streets. I'd never seen anything quite like Telegraph Avenue and People's Park. No matter how much poverty one has seen throughout the course of their lives, it's far more difficult to accept when it occurs in areas of high concentration. Understanding the nature of homeless people asking for money and their interactions with people walking up and down a main street such ... at "work", was difficult because of the wealth of information one could find in simply watching as one person asked another for money. We looked for a number of signals in the interactions, considering people's ages, how they reacted physically, whether or not they communicated verbally, their demeanor throughout the interaction, and the importance of eye-contact.

- 4363: "Stop Seeking Certainty.." Minow's Response To Bork
- "Stop Seeking Certainty.." Minow's Response To Bork Philosophy Of Law In considering the views of Robert Bork and Martha Minow, I am impressed more by Minow. I will compare their respective views and arguments in an effort to show why I prefer the arguments of Minow to those of Bork. First though it is necessary to have a brief overview of Bork's philosophy. Bork is a firm believer in the originalist mode of Constitutional interpretation. Many different scholars may have differing views as to the meaning of the word originalism. Here, it is intended to define "an.. approach to constitutional adjudication that accords binding authority to the text of the Constitution or the intentions of it's adopters" (Lyons, pp. 329).

The intention-based originalists argue that the original intent of the framers can ...
- 4364: “Sin in the Global Village”: Privacy In Cyberspace
- ... Wright suggests that people should be careful when publishing a Web page containing personal thoughts because anyone with Web-authoring software can easily trace the URL (electronic address) back to its origin. In short, people’s visions about a totally anonymous Internet are false because of the electronic trail that is left for others to find. Linda Tripp, who taped her conversations with the former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, exposed President Clinton’s recent oral sex scandal by means of surveillance. Wright is suggesting that this could happen to anyone. Computer surveillance isn’t all that uncommon these days so people should look out for what they write and where they go on the Internet because someday it might be used against them. Disintegration of privacy complicates life. ...

According to Tooley, the fetus does not have a right to life at any time therefore, the mother of that fetus should have the right to terminate her pregnancy as she ... previously proposed cut-off points for determining when one is a human are unacceptable. Werner says these "cut-off" points are unacceptable because there is no clear line that can be drawn in the human's development from conception to adulthood that can be used to 'say a being does not have a right to life before that point.' According to Werner, since there is this hazy period in the ...

If he agrees to Resolution 986, the country would be able to sell oil in order to buy supplies for it's people. However, the UN would have control over how much and to whom the oil was sold.
