Science and arts are accepted in society; they still are members of society. What happens when the need and want to be an individual forces one to be an outsider? The younger someone is, the more acceptable it is to be an outsider. Children at the bridge as between childhood and teens, leading into adulthood, battles with wanting to be themselves and constantly being force back into society. On the other hand, adults who have certain traits that are undesirable to society are actively trying to keep those hidden so they can continue to be members of society. However, even in this struggle, passivity is still requires.

Found throughout is Shakespeare desire to label Othello as “alien”, “outsider”, the stranger” and “other,” which can be seen as an unconscious, collective thought shared by members of this culture. The citizens tragically delude themselves by accepting him into their Venetian society, when in fact he is an “outsider” in ever way possible. Othello epitomizes what can be seen as an “outsider” in a white, Christian society where blacks are labeled as “strangers.” The tone of his skin is essentially what attributes to him being considered an intruder who...

...Compare and Contrast Essay: Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass What is hypocrisy? It is feigning someone to believe what is or to believe what is not. Basically, an individual who is pretending to be someone he or she is not. All members of society can be a subject to be hypocritical. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the different types of hypocrisies between Frederick Douglass's and modern time. The three main differences are religious, political, and racial hypocrisy. In today's society, religious hypocrisy has withstood the test of time. Many people in the past and in the present time do not attend church on Sunday because of conflict with their hypocritical values, while the true hypocrites proclaim their devotion to God on Sunday, and ironically talk about their neighbor's lives, fight over simple traffic rules refuse to see poverty around them. Almost an outsider, Frederick Douglass witnessed withstanding of religious hypocrisy when it came to the slave holders and non-abolitionist of southern society. "Poor man! such was his disposition, and success at deceiving, I do verily believe that he sometimes deceived himself into the solemn belief, that he was a sincere worshipper of the most high God." (80). Mr. Covey showed that being a slave holder and a Christian is hypocritical to himself, because it is not possible for him to own and direct slaves while remaining faithful to their religion.

Everybody understands that there is impossible to live in the world where there is no order. Every person still appreciates the necessity of state and government even if he or she does not as if the way of ruling is their own country. The problem of state was the topic of researches and thoughts for different famous people of ancient and modern time. Two of the greatest philosophers Aristotle and Plato devoted great part of their philosophic researches to the topic of conception of the state and political freedom. Let us compare and contrast their conceptions. A man named Aristotle who was a Greek Truth-seeker, a logician, and a scientist has a teacher named Plato. Aristotle is widely known as the most prominent olden philosopher in many areas of philosophy, together with political hypothesis. His life appears to have inclined his political notion in different conduct: his biological interest has mixed in his political life. Also, his political interest and his compassion for the democratic system like dominion perhaps have been optimistic by his experience of various political systems; he condemned severely, while borrowing widely, from his teacher’s (Plato) democracy, statesman, and laws; moreover, his own political affairs is proposed to help rulers...

...Brittany Nobrega ENG 201 11/19/12 Essay #3 The Vampire Diaries is a CW television series that revolves around a love triangle between two vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, and the main character, Elena. The show takes place in Mystic Falls, a small town with many secrets including witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and hybrids. It is a constant struggle for Elena to keep her family and friends alive with all of the violence vampires and werewolves bring to the town; along with the struggle to protect her family and friends Elena struggles to choose which Salvatore brother she wants to be with. The trending vampire craze is a big part of America’s culture today. From television to books to movies the once evil vampire is now a fantasy for most women. These vampire characters may be murderers, they may be deceitful, but through all of the blood and gore we still desire them. What does it say about our culture today that the ideal man for a woman is a violent, murderous, yet gorgeous vampire? As a form of popular art, the CW series The Vampire Diaries reflects American women’s interest in violence, blood, heroes, confused morals, attractive men, and a dramatic love triangle. We root for these characters even though they have killed innocent people; each villain reveals a sensitive side that we are forced to sympathize with. American women viewers want to see more than two guys fighting over a girl, they want to see two heroic yet villainous animals struggle...

...Police Organizational Structures: Compare & Contrast The highly decentralized nature and varying size of American police departments compel police agencies to vary greatly in organizational structures. The administration of most police organizational structures are based on a traditional pyramidal, quasi-military organizational structure that contains the elements of an organization, which are entities of two or more people who cooperate to accomplish an objective, and a bureaucracy, which are rules conducted and communicated from a desk or office (Peak, 2012). With these ideas in mind, the comparisons and contrasts between the Administrators, Mid-level managers, and the Supervisors will be shown. This vertical organizational structure means that an unsolved problem at one level, keeps moving higher until a resolution is reached. This method allows for the chain of command to remain solvent and designates each level a certain authority and responsibility. The problem with this model is that any semblance of discretion at the lower levels of the organization are eliminated. In turn, even minor decisions must be made by individuals who hold elevated positions in the hierarchy. This ultimately impedes changes in the organizational design and structure which could improve operations (Johnson, 1994). Administrators (Chiefs and Asst. Chiefs), mid-level managers (Captains and Lieutenants), and first-line supervisors (Sergeants) ensure that all units work together towards...

...Compare and Contrast Three Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) Devon Hopkins Webster University Introduction In the today’s society security is of paramount importance, whether it’s your business, home, vehicle, or computer.

On a daily basis companies are under attack making them vulnerable to more and more worms, viruses, denial of service (DoS) attacks and hacking, shutting them down for various periods of times. With the advance technology more and more companies are storing information digitally. Having unsecure networks are leading to enormous amount of private information being public.

Companies should implement intrusion detection systems (IDS) because hackers are smarter and their intrusions are getting harder to trace. Intrusion Detection System An intrusion detection system or IDS is a system that attempts to identify intrusions, which can be defined to be unauthorized uses, misuses, or abuses of the computer systems by either authorized users or external perpetrators [1].
