...police body cameras. There are a few reasons why this would be useful. One obvious benefit is that use of force will decrease. Another is that people will be less likely to complain about police actions, which means less money spent on following up with those complaints. One of the potentially most useful benefits is that the cameras will give a clearer understanding in any case, making it unnecessary to speculate on a certain matter. Of course, there are some complications, since this is no clear-cut matter, with many viewpoints. Some assert that with body cameras, people who may not want to be on camera might end up there. Others say that according to recent events, police body cameras aren’t worth the hassle and their cost. Analyzing these points can lead us to an objective conclusion as to whether they really are worth their cost. Police body cameras can be used in order to decrease cops’ use of force. As the article “Should cops wear cameras?” by Brandon Griggs points...

...“The use of body cameras should both reduce the use of force and lessen the need and the opportunity to lie about”, says Don Sim and Jim Bueerman from Newspaper Los Angeles Times. The use of body cameras will make police and citizens behave better because it reduces dishonesty, provides police superiors with a potent tool for reliable supervision and it should improve the relationship between police forces and their constituent communities. First and foremost, if someone had to lie to get them out of trouble … most likely they will. But with the use of body cameras it will reduce ALL dishonesty. According to the text, “In general, watching body camera footage should reduce dishonesty in incident reports. When footage reveals unambiguous misconduct, officers would be foolish to file dishonesty reports”. To clarify, body cameras are our one way ticket to honesty when it comes to incidents with officers and suspects. As well as reduced dishonesty, police body cameras provides police superiors with a...

...With new "body cam" technology such as GoPro becoming more prominent in today's society, debate has arisen over whether police officers should be required to wear body cameras or not, so that every action they take while on duty can be recorded. Especially in light of current events many feel that police should be required to wear body cameras to prevent injustices. Like any problem there are pros and cons. And I believe that cons need to be addressed before moving on to the pros. Some of the cons against body cameras are that there is a huge cost for buy each camera as well as budget issues for each department. Another example is that with the limited vision it may not be precise enough to get entire circumstance in which case would lead to...

...best smartphone, and it will surely satisfy the needs of even the most demanding of users. All the top U.S. wireless carriers offer a version of the original Galaxy S, and it seems likely they will be picking up its newest version later this year. Pros: • Very good display • Elegant design • TouchWiz 4.0 user interface • High-quality full HD video recordings • Great performance Cons: • No dedicated key for turning the camera on • Poor photo quality in low lighting • Marketing Genius of Samsung • Samsung has unarguably made the greatest marketing ploy with the Samsung Galaxy S3 imitating in several aspects the marketing strategies of Apple and their products. The company as such has been highly secretive about the Samsung Galaxy S3, often denying the rumors that come out or actively concealing any information that usually is given. The genius of it all remains not in the secrecy, but rather in the “leaks” that actually occur. Photographs taken with the 12MP camera that’s supposed to grace the camera, blurred images of the body of the phone, even invoices of pre orders from various channel partners bearing the name. • Then Samsung went ahead and “accidentally” slipped the name of the actual device. Its current strategy of making a new site with “The next Galaxy “ and a counter that’s set for the said launch event in London on May 3rd has finally brought the frenzy to its peak. May 3rd is going to be a big day for the smartphone enthusiast. • With the social...

...STX Engelsk Eksamen Delprøve 2B 2014 Analytic essay: “Big Brother is watching you more closely than ever:CCTV Cameras, the Spies in our midst. Privacy is essential to our humanity. It permits us to shape and maintain lives, from which personal identity, selfdetermination and freedom arise. In today’s society, however, undisturbedness is mainly an illusion. The line between privacy and public space has simply become as fragile as porcelain. This is due to increased monitoring of human behaviour. In “Big Brother is watching you more closely than ever”, written by John Kampfner in 2012, it is discussed whether surveillance provides protection or disturbs the individual liberty. A coherent structure in essence is the foundation for the written amount of text. The article consists of three components: an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Thus it achieves structural integrity. The text mostly centers on the subject of surveillance and its effect on society. To what extent the use of security cameras can be justified is, however, also a focus of attention. The major topic is presented in the introduction by using the words: “The march of CCTV cameras.” The ideas, to which the writer will adhere when discussing the theme, are likewise indicated in the introductory section. The body, where the issue is elaborated, covers the critical evidence that defends the position of John Kampfner. The documentation includes specific facts, description, quotations and...

...Literary Analysis paper Due 25 November Write a 500-word essay in MLA format analyzing Children of Heaven. Be sure to read Chapter 22 “Literary Analysis,” pages 349+. You are not organizing your essay around the plot. Instead, you are organizing it to analyze literary elements. Whereas written literature has style and tone, films have cinematography and sound, including music. For your essay map (which determines your topic sentences and body paragraphs), you may want to look at symbolism, themes, tone (sound), characters, and style (cinematography, including the planning and execution of light and color design, camera position and angle.) If you agree with Bert Cardullo (“Neorealism Iranian Style”) that the film maker subscribes to neorealism—a filmmaking style using real locations, non-professional actors, and simple straightforward stories, then you could reveal how the movie embodies these elements. Make sure that the thesis and essay map stand out as indicating a literary analysis essay and that that the three body paragraphs have clear literary analysis topic sentences. Do not begin body paragraphs with elements of plot. Instead, the topic sentences of each body paragraph should echo elements in the essay map. Also make sure that you use clear transitions, and that you have a significant conclusion. Use MLA format with in-text parenthetical citations in referring to the film itself. You may also want to use periodicals devoted to literary criticism...

...In her essay, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” Laura Mulvey argues that Classical Hollywood cinema encourages spectators to look at women and identify with men. Female stars receive the look, while male stars control the narrative and dominate space. She writes, “In a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/female. The determining male gaze projects its fantasy onto the female figure, which is styled accordingly. In their traditional exhibitionist role women are looked at and displayed, with their appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact so that they can be said to connote to-be-looked-at-ness,” (205). What kind of looks, gazes, or points of identification structure (or destabilize) The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Th. Dreyer, 1928)? Your response should engage Mulvey’s claims. The Passion of Joan of Arc is a silent film directed by Carl Th. Dreyer made in France in 1928. In Laura Mulvey's essay, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” she argues that the female stars receive the look, while male stars take control of film space. She also points out that the women’s role in the Classical Hollywood cinema is to satisfy the viewer and to be a passive character, i.e. being pleasant to look at. This essay will argue Mulvey's analysis such as: active/man and passive/female, a woman/actress being looked at as an attractive object and the female role in the cinema industry depicted by The Passion...

In their essay "Reading and Writing about Movies," Jonathan Silverman and Dean Rader highlight the idea, "that movies use various techniques to manipulate audiences" (322), because "directors employ music, lighting, special effects, and clever editing to help make their movies more powerful"(322).
