The powerful states deem it their right to use press for their covert purposes. World Press Freedom Day, Other Side of the Coin On 3rd of May every year, soon after the termination of the Labour Day activities world press freedom day is observed. Freedom of press is a perpetual issue. There is always divided opinion over rights and duties of press. The media owners and journalists are always of the view that there should be liberty of they are bound to the futile rules and regulations and have no freedom to express the truth. On the other hand the ministries of the information argue that they have given extra ordinary freedom to the press. In fact these two opinions are the two extremes. The situation is in between these two states. Media insists on knowing more and more in order to astonish their viewers and readers. There is a lot of evidence that media aggrandize the matters always or conceal facts due to some overt purposes. Each and every country has formulated laws to control the media. There is code of conduct for...

...have. Also advertisements do not only seem bad, but statistically their cons outweigh their pros. Advertisements might look fun, but in the end the consumer might be a victim of false advertisement. One last argument is that advertisements are a constant invasion in people’s lives with the message that they need all those different products to be complete, taking advantage of the consumer’s gullibility or fear. This is why advertisements are a negative influence and is something today’s world would be better without. An example of the negative impact of advertisements is the Roni Deutch advertisements for A Professional Tax Corporation. This was a service that was advertised, and many people trusted, even after extensive research of the Corporation. Instead of “getting the maximum refund you deserve” like the advertisements say, clients money was stolen from them. Something else Roni Deutch addresses in her ad is, “Can you live on half your paycheck? That’s how much the IRS can take when they garnish your wages.” This particular message addressed in the ad plays on the consumer’s fear of not being able to pay their taxes. This is what presses a lot of consumers to purchase products because the advertisement targets their fears and causes them to buy things that will hopefully take those fears away. This helps to prove that advertisements a lot of the time waste people’s money and are a waste of people’s time. In my own experience I have seen many examples where advertisements...

...Human civilization as a whole has always been innovative. They turned sticks and stones to tools, and the Wright Flyer I to the Apollo 11 in a mere sixty-six years. Most importantly innovations turned mud huts into thriving modern cities with billions of people. The secret to success is power. But by continuing to fuel large cities and businesses with fossil fuels, many nations are knowingly releasing tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A study done by Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center states that "The world pumped 39.8 billion tons (36.1 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide last year. That is 778 million tons (706 metric tons) or 2.3 per cent more than the previous year" (Zolfagharifard 2014). The United States and many countries attempted more environmentally friendly solutions but only to fall on heuristic approaches. In order to tackle the problem head on, nuclear reactors must be built; for this reason Lucas Davis writes: The NRC received 16 license applications for a total of 24 proposed reactors. The time was right, so it seemed, for a nuclear power renaissance in the United States. Natural Gas Prices were at their highest level ever in real terms. The 2005 Energy Policy Act provided loan guarantees, production tax credits, and other subsidies for new nuclear plants. Many believed that the United States Was close to enacting legislation that would limit emissions of carbon dioxide. (Davis 49) Nuclear power is the solution to the...

...Feb 11, 2016 9:15 AM EST By Arun Majumdar , John M. Deutch , Norman R. Augustine & George P. Shultz Two months after the end of the Paris climate summit, it seems natural to ask: What are the next steps? Do we need to do more? Three initiatives launched around the Paris meeting are an important start. Bill Gates announced the formation of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, composed of philanthropists who will invest in public-private partnerships to invent and scale technologies. More than 20 countries led by the U.S. unveiled "Mission Innovation" and pledged to seek to double their government research-and-development budgets over the next five years to accelerate clean-energy innovation. Ten of the world’s largest oil and gas companies launched the "Oil and Gas Climate Initiative" to organize meaningful action through the sharing of best-practice information and other industry collaboration as well as to make investments in R&D and startups. These statements indicate that both the public and private sectors recognize that we live in a carbon-constrained world and that there will be a charge on carbon emissions, imposed through regulations or market prices or a combination of both. Thus, there is an imperative for industry to explore the commercialization of new innovative low-carbon technologies. Given the scale of the energy and climate challenges, the three initiatives are necessary but not sufficient. Why? Successful innovation must address technologies from...

...Atensi Pengunjung Berusia Remaja Terhadap Musik Techno di Playground Cafe Yogyakarta R. Michael Adityo / 149114044 / E BAB I Pendahuluan Latar Belakang Masalah Kota Yogyakarta merupakan salah satu kota tujuan bagi para pelajar dan mahasiswa dari seluruh Indonesia untuk meneruskan pendidikannya, karena banyaknya sekolah dan universitas baik negeri maupun swasta berkualitas dengan nilai akreditasi yang baik. Hal tersebut membuat kota Yogyakarta lazim disebut sebagai 'kota pelajar'. Pelajar identik dengan anak muda yang berada pada tahap perkembangan remaja hingga dewasa awal. Adapun remaja adalah seseorang yang berada pada masa peralihan dari masa anak-anak menuju masa dewasa dengan rentang usia antara 12-22 tahun, dimana pada masa tersebut terjadi proses pematangan baik secara fisik maupun psikologis (Santrock, 2003:26). Seseorang yang berada pada tahap remaja sangat membutuhkan penghargaan diri. Pada masa remaja, penghargaan diri tersebut didapatkan dengan menjalin hubungan dengan teman sebaya (Cole dkk, 2001; Twenge & Campbell, 2001). Mereka seringkali meluangkan waktu untuk sekedar berkumpul dengan teman-temannya dan saling berbagi cerita. Selain untuk saling mengakrabkan pertemanan, para remaja berkumpul untuk melepas penat dari rutinitas yang mereka lalui di sekolah ataupun kampus. Untuk itu mereka biasa berkumpul di tempat-tempat yang nyaman dan kondusif untuk duduk dan saling bertukar cerita. Melihat kebutuhan tersebut...

...Abolition and the Lasting Effects in East Africa Unlike the Atlantic world, slavery in East Africa looked a little different. Slavery in Africa portrayed a complex use of labor, the exercise of rights in person, and of exploitation and coercion tempered by negotiation and accommodation. However the most common features on slavery in East Africa is the fact that it varies overtime and place. For instance, according to Miers and Roberts, “Slaves might be menial field workers, downtrodden servants, cherished concubines, surrogate kin, trusted trading agents, high officials, army commanders, ostracized social group dedicated to a deity…( 5). Perhaps the largest difference between slavery in East Africa versus slavery in the Atlantic world or the new world was the people who regulated slave trade. It is popularly known in African history that the British, French, Germans and the Spaniards played significant roles in the extrapolation of African people and their resources in the slave trade and, later, colonialism. However in East Africa, those who were in power were the Arab who, similar to the European colonial powers, found Africa to be abundant in profitable resources and sought to acquire the resources through free and forced slave labor in East Africa. Much like their European counterparts, the Arabs conducted slavery in the same repressive manner. In defining slavery, Frederick Cooper, in his book “Plantation Slavery on the East Coast of Africa” writes, “When comparing slavery...

Contents Introduction Page 4 Methods Page 5 Results Page 6 Discussion Page 9 Conclusion Page 11 References/Bibliography Page 12 Introduction Are our behaviours and actions individual decisions based on our own thoughts and opinions? Or are they influenced some way, and if so by who or what? There have been many studies by psychologists such as Jennes (1932), Asch (1951) and Kelman (1958) on conformity and have largely resulted in the same argument. People conform to a majority influence. Deutch and Gerrard (1955) suggest that there are two reasons that we as individuals conform. Normative Social Influence (NSI) argues that the desire to 'fit in' and 'be liked' and not to be rejected influences us to conform to the majority, Informational Social Influence (ISI), argues that the desire to be correct and the lack of knowledge in an unclear situation influences us to be guided by those around us who have a greater knowledge. Taking NSI and ISI into consideration the, aim of this study is to conclude if social and group pressures play a part in conformity and obedience. Today's society suggests students are not even aware that they are...

...charge and became chancellor in 1923 Germany’s economy was extremely unstable, Stresemann came to power to resolve many of Germany’s issues. There were many reasons why Stresemann was responsible for the stability, some of these included the end of passive resistance, the Dawes plan and the change in currency, all of these were good factors however some did hold some negative effects, He focused on improving the economy, relations with other countries and improving the social aspects of living. Although Stresemann’s actions and policies had both good and bad sides, overall it was because of these that Stresemann is responsible for the regained stability of Germany. Stresemann changed the currency when he became chancellor after 1923 from the deutch mark to the Rentenmark, this put an end to hyperinflation. Hyperinflation meant that the German currency became almost completely worthless with price rising by thousands from one day to the next. By making this change, Stresemann gave the Rentenmark a better value and allowed Germany to get out of the, what seemed endless, hyperinflation. However this had a negative effect too as the money the middle and working class lost during hyperinflation, they did not get back, this meant that they were unhappy with Stresemann’s change, but would have also been doomed without it. Also in addition, the economy was helped when Stresemann lowered the prices in Germany, this allowed more people to invest within Germany. The introduction of the Rentenmark...

...has been proposed in the eastern states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. This method of extraction is highly controversial, and is thought to have severe environmental and potential health consequences. This essay will provide further insight into the practice of Fracking in an area of shale known as Marcellus shale, and help to expose the environmental and human implications. What is Hydrofracking? Hydraulic Fracturing is an un-conventional process used in the extraction of gas in permeable rock (David 1973). A horizontal well is drilled into permeable rock such as shale and is injected with millions of gallons a high pressure fluid known as frac-fluid, this fluid is a mixture of sand, water, and an array of lubricating chemicals (Deutch 2011). The high pressure frac-fluid forces open fishers (cracks) within the rock which are kept open with sand granules; this allows pockets of gas to flow more easily from the shale (David 1973). Once the well is depleted all fluid that can be recycled is extracted, and the well is capped to stop any unused gas escaping (David 1973). The process of fracking is expensive and requires a lot of resources including millions of gallons of water that is sourced from local reservoirs and aquifers (David 2008). There are also substantial costs in the transportation of equipment and frac-fluid (Deutch2011). Despite these expenses demand for natural gas is great enough that there is still a large profit to be made. The Marcellus shale There are...

...A radiological weapon involves the dispersal of extremely high radioactive materials over a target area to make the area uninhabitable and to produce casualties. As a terrorist weapon, the performance of the radiological weapon is less important than the disruption and panic that the dispersal of small amounts of radioactive substances would cause. The psychological impact of those exposed would cause fear of an increased risk of cancer or genetic defects. A radiological dispersal would also require an expensive environmental cleanup, and would likely leave large areas unusable even if the level of radiation was small. As the former Director of Central Intelligence John Deutch pointed out, a terrorist radiological attack could cause damage to property and the environment, and cause social and political...

...Cyber: The Terrorist New-Battlefield Sparkle Grayson American Military University “American military superiority on the conventional battlefield pushes its adversaries toward unconventional alternatives.” - Carter, Ashton B., John Deutch, and Philip Zelikow Terrorism is not a new phenomenon. The use of terror tactics as a means of coercion, dates back to the 1st and 14th centuries AD. The first documented instance of terrorism that most resembled modern day terrorist tactics is attributed to the Zealots of Judea. This “terrorist” group showed many if not all the characteristics of modern day terrorists; being politically/religiously motivated, the organization of their group, and ultimately their goal, which was to strike fear into not only the current leaders or governing authority but into anyone who they felt agreed with the current state of politics. In short, though, their endeavor was ultimately unsuccessful, “the fact that they are remembered hundreds of years later, demonstrates the deep psychological impact they caused” (terrorism-research, 2013, n.p). Though terrorism is often associated with physical acts of violence, the ever increasing globalization of the world, and the increasing dependency on technology has given way to a new tactic that can be destructive to property, finances, and media. Cyber-terrorism is a new occurrence but is highly effective, and until recently the United States had no formal “cyber-protection” in the private sector...
