- ... and merchandisers all over the world. As in all businesses money is the most important criteria for the big companies so they have no morale problems with making warfare into entertainment as long as it\\'s selling. The same goes for the film industry, but at least some war films also describe the pain and hopelessness of war. So far I\\'ve never seen a computer game capable of expressing the ... now submarine- and flight simulators are the most realistic games available. Thankfully most action games are still quite far from the real world, as I would consider these to be the most influential on people\\'s behavior. Though some games are getting quite realistic in simulating certain situations, none of them include any everyday (peacetime) military life in their simulations. Then computers are mostly office tools for normal big business tasks such as personnel management, filing and correspondence. But some of the world\\'s sharpest brains are constantly trying to make new, more sophisticated and more deadly weapons. New technology often uses computers as a brain in \\"intelligent\\" weapons, which reduces the human interaction in a battle. Remote ...
- 5932: The Internet
- ... that made it easier for non-technical people to use the Internet, over 21,000 businesses and corporations have become accessible through the Internet (Baig 81).

- 5935: Marx's Philosophical Writings: Alienation
- Marx's Philosophical Writings: Alienation The focus of Marx's philosophical writings is alienation. He believes that social or psychological alienation arises out of economic or material alienation. In other words, consciousness is determined by material conditions, as opposed to the prevailing view of his day that said that consciousness determines material conditions. Another way of saying the same thing is, "Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life." One's material conditions in life result from one's labor. Concerning alienated labor, Marx said that, ...the worker is degraded to the most miserable sort of commodity; that the misery of the worker is in ...
- 5936: Captivity And Restoration Of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson
- ... by the complicated character who has a struggle in recognizing her identity. The reoccurring idea of food and the word remove, used as metaphors throughout the narrative, could be observed to lead to Mary Rowlandson’s repression of anger, depression, and realization of change throughout her journey and more so at the end of it. The idea of food is constantly used throughout the Mary Rowlandson’s narrative, because it was the only essential need that she was concerned everyday to survive. Before the captivity, Mary Rowlandson was an innocent housewife that knew nothing of what suffering was like. She has always had plenty of food, shelter, and clothing. As a reader, you can see how her views towards the Indian’s choice of food gradually changes throughout her journey, and how it is related to the change in her own self. After tragically losing all of her family and her home, she had to repress ...
- 5937: Fly Away Peter
- ... Jim, Jim - thinking about the senseless murder of Jim by men who never knew him or disliked him except for his nationality. I began to realise that the world is changing everyday and I can’t stop it. I started to stroll down the undulating dunes of the gold coast towards the vast desolate beaches. My feet sunk down into the sand and the thousands of tiny white sand grains slipped down into my shoes. I reached the pounding shore and lay my equipment on the ground. Jim, Ashley and I where completely different people in terms of our social standing’s but our undying love and compassion for the birds brought us together. Nothing could take that from us. All I could think of is, “What am I doing,” on this sphere they call Earth, “why ... the beach is compared to where Jim was before he died. When I think about the waste and lives that this war has ravaged, I feel like yelling out. I contemplate about how upset Jim’s father was when I saw him and I couldn’t bear it, I felt like breaking down and weeping. The waves are the most perfect creation of God; the ocean is one huge swell ...
- 5938: Federal Express
- ... under the leadership of Fred Smith has been innovative from its very beginning. The very idea of a hub-and-spokes distribution system was revolutionary. Smith saw the air freight industry in the early 70’s as inefficient and unreliable. In the early stages Smith was quoted as saying, “Federal Express has the opportunity to become one of American’s great corporations and the dominant force in the small package air express industry. We have found a gap in the transportation industry and we are going to fill it.” The hub-and-spokes system addressed ... for door-to-door pick-up and delivery.

It wasn't that he was unhappy with what he was studying, but he simply couldn't enjoy it the way he had enjoyed high school. Oh, how he wishes he could go back . . . After having yet another exhausting day of classes, Bradley found himself needing to relax. He appeared completely ...
- 5940: Marijuana 2
- ... grow this plant depends on how strong the product or result will be. Drug abuse is use of drugs in an illegal or unsafe way. The factors that lead to drug abuse are a person’s problems, to be cool, to seem older or mature, to rebel against their parents, to be popular.
