...to him directly nor does he show any interest towards his father. Although he ignores his father’s plight, he idolizes his mother and attempts to make her proud. While ignoring Willy and trying to impress his mother, Happy is following in the same footsteps as his father which will also lead to the same “death of a salesman” as his father has. In order to prevent the suffering within his family from festering inside of him, he avoids any form of confrontation. For example, in every instance Biff and Willy argue he keeps his mouth and butts in at the very end in order to try and “resolve” the problem, even though it’s just a lie. Such as when Biff and Willy are arguing over getting a job in the city for Bill Oliver. Happy brings up the false idea of “the Loman Line”, sporting goods the he and his brother can sell together. It’s a plan even he knows he can’t accomplish, but he says it anyway just to appease his father. This also leads to Happy’s excessive lying. The best example for Happy’s lying is when he lies to the girls by saying “No, that’s not my father. He’s just a guy,” (p. 63) when they ask him about his father. His pride and image (although it’s all a lie) mean more to him than his own father’s sanity. His idolization of his mother also leads to his future downfall. He attempts to make his mother proud by trying to be what he thinks she wants him to be. Happy is a kiss-up, but his mother doesn’t buy any of it. When Biff and Happy came back home after their father...

...The Negative Effects of Police Deception in Interrogation Andrew Maynard CJUS 420-B02 Mr. Jeffery Fox July 1, 2013 The Negative Effects of Police Deception in Interrogation Police interrogation today is defined as; Interrogation is police questioning a suspect in order to find answers about a crime that has been committed. The suspect that is being questioned by police is entitled to know his or her rights. The evidence in the trial will be in admissible if the interrogator of the suspect does not inform the suspect of his or her rights ("Interrogation law and," 2001). In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that the police have to read to the suspect detained the rights they are given under the Constitution U.S. Legal (2001). These rights protect the individual from falling into the trap of deceptive interrogation. Many people do not understand that if they just kept quiet and wait for a lawyer, their so-called innocence can be saved. Deceptive interrogation by law is acceptable, with the reading of the Miranda rights, and the police will use this tool as much as they can as long as it doesn’t exceed the boundaries they are placed under. Deceptive interrogation is unnecessary for law enforcement to exercise in order to convict the accused. Today’s methods of interrogation are more mental then physical as mentioned before. There are several tools police can use as a means of deceiving a suspect in order to obtain a confession or information. One common strategy...

...The Practical Application of the Age of Criminal Responsibilities It is crucial to understand the purpose and the consequences of having the minimum age of criminal responsibilities set at a young age. There have been many studies completed that give appreciation to the rights of children and give an understanding of their specific capabilities. Being informed about children’s culpability, their competence to participate in the criminal justice system (CJS) and the consequences of criminalising them at a young age are crucial areas that need to be looked at in detail when thinking of setting with a minimum age of criminal responsibilities (Farmer, 2011). Adolescents are around the age of maturity and go through many developmental changes in life. It is of utter most importance to focus on the culpability of young individuals when it comes to unlawful behaviours they engage in, how competent these individuals are when it comes to engaging in the Youth Justice System (YJS), and the consequences of getting them involved in the criminal justice system at a young age. These issues must be addressed and taken into consideration when creating the minimum age of criminal responsibility. Culpability Culpability refers to understanding and being responsible for the actions and consequences of a wrong. During adolescence, there are substantial developments in executive functioning (EF), emotional processing and social cognition (Farmer, 2011). These EF skills play a critical role...

...Raina Brown Intro to Literary Genres 9/23/05 1.) Among the character in Every Day Use the older sibling Dee is the antagonist because she shows opposition towards the protagonist who is Maggie the younger sibling. Maggie is the protagonist because we sympathize with her for all that she has gone through. In the A&P Sammy who is the narrator is also the protagonist because he is the primary character in the story. The antagonist is the boss because his actions conflict with the protagonists desires and goals. The characters in I Stand Here Ironing Emily is the protagonist because she is the sick one, she is also the main character and we sympathize with her. The antagonist is the mother, because she concerns conflict with the mother. 2.) In the A&P the setting was in a grocery store on a hot summer day. In this reading it played a major role because it is where Sammy, the main character, worked and it is a public place where proper attire is needed, so the setting helps cause part of the conflict. In Every Day Use the setting was at the house in the middle of nowhere. It was a beat up house, the only thing that the mother could afford. The role it played was being the reason Dee moved out of the house. Other than that the setting had no major role in the narrative. The setting of I Stand Here Ironing was all over the place and it did not serve as a major role in the narrative. 3.) The plot of the A&P was a hot summer day, a teen boy was working in a grocery store. He saw...

...December 8, 2010 “Dreams versus reality” is a motif that serves an important role in Revolutionary Road. Many of the main characters day dream and imagine theoretical situations. This can be applied in real life to the majority of people because whether tired or bored, one will eventually dream in one way or another. Lucid dreaming is a term created by Frederik van Eeden that is used to describe a dream in which one is aware that he/she is dreaming. This type of dreaming is considered by many as a higher level of consciousness. Most people do not know what lucid dreaming is and those who do rarely are aware of how to realize that they are dreaming, let alone actually manipulate their dreams. Lucid dreaming can have many benefits in one’s life, whether it’s relieving stress, learning or studying, having fun, etc. Also, there is little risk in dreaming lucidly, since dreams do not take place in the physical world. Anything that can benefit many people with little risk should be readily available and encouraged. Dreaming lucidly fits this description yet is not studied often, and on top of that, is not taken very seriously within the scientific community. Lucid dreaming should be a topic that is taught and discussed more often than is currently in everyday life. To understand lucid dreaming, one must understand the two different types of “life”. One of which is waking life, which you probably can guess, refers to one’s life while they are awake. The other of which...

...As campus police made their rounds early one Saturday morning in 2007 they spotted water flowing out of the Lower Level receiving doors of the Library. The campus police were able to get the water shut off to the library but neglected to inform anyone from the library what had happened. Several hours passed before the damage was discovered by Library staff when they came into work. After some investigation it was discovered that an overhead heating pipe had burst sending water and pieces of ceiling tiles cascading down on several ranges of books on the fourth floor. The water found its way down to the third floor shelves then on down to the lower level of the library’s receiving. Initial action called for plastic sheeting to be placed over the book ranges that were directly under the water pipe and to either side to help prevent more water damage to the books, along with the ranges on the third floor. Phone calls were made to the Head of Circulation along with the Senior Associate (Acting) Dean to get further instructions on what could be done before they were able to get to the library to inspect the damage. The Library staff was told not to do anything more until the acting Dean arrived; even though there was a staff member present who had gone through the disaster class taught by Western States and Territories Preservation Assistance Service (WESTPAS) and knew what needed to be done. A few hours later, the Acting Dean arrived on scene to assess the...

...Assignment #4- Bait and Switch By: Charlene Allen LEG5000: Law, Ethics & Corp. Governance Jamie Davis Smith August 21, 2011 The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was created in 1914. Its purpose was to prevent unfair methods of competition in commerce. Over the years, Congress passed additional laws giving the agency greater authority to police anticompetitive practices. In 1938, Congress passed a broad prohibition against unfair and deceptive acts or practices. Since then, the Commission also has been directed to administer a wide variety of other consumer protection laws, including the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Pay-Per-Call Rule and the Equal Credit. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances consumers’ interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and international government agencies; develops policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies. Bait and switch advertising is a violation of consumer laws. It is a type of fraudulent business practice where one party, such as a manufacturer or business, will offer the "bait". This could be a product that is advertised at a very low cost and is designed to lure in a customer. Once the customer is attracted, the manufacturer will pull the "switch". The proposed product will no longer...

...are greatly influenced by countless advertisements urging them to purchase products that they may or may not need or want. While many of these advertisements honestly inform and educate consumers, some are false, deceptive, and even illegal. An advertisement is considered deceptive if there is a "representation, omission, or practice that is likely to mislead the consumer". The advertisement does not necessarily have to cause actual deception, but, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the act need only likely mislead the consumer (Federal Trade Commission, 1998 [on-line]). Advertising that makes false claims or misleading statements, as well as advertising that creates a false impression. If retailers systematically advertise merchandise at low prices to get customers into their store and then fail to have the merchandise, they are guilty of deceptive advertising. Deceptive practices can take many other forms as well, such as false promises, unsubstantiated claims, incomplete descriptions, false testimonials or comparisons, small-print qualifications of advertisements, partial disclosure, or visual distortion of products. According to David Gardner (1975) there are three types of deceptive advertising: Fraudulent advertising which is an outright lie; false advertising which "involves a claim-fact discrepancy", such as not disclosing all the conditions to receive a certain promotion or price; and misleading advertising which involves a "claim-belief interaction"...

...available and are "switched" to a costlier product. The fact that Betty drove three hours in one hundred degree weather has no bearing on whether the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement. Advertisements are not offers. In every advertisement by marketing firms, certain vital terms and conditions may not be very clear and certain. Common examples of these factors are pricing conditions and quantity. The law in advertising calls these invitations to treat; basically these are invitations from the company or the advertising firm to the general public to make an offer on a particular item or items at a given period of time. However no statement or illustration of any form of advertisement should be use to creates a false impression of the grade, quality, make, value, currency of model, size, color, usability, or origin of the product offered, or which may otherwise misrepresent the product in such a manner that later, on disclosure of the true facts, the purchaser may be switched from the advertised product to another. (http://www.ftc.gov) Advertisement may also include sales promotions, these are offers intended to the general public or a particular segment of the market in the form of direct marketing, or sponsorship.

...Student Name Ethics in Information Technology Deceptive Advertising Deceptive Advertising Marketers spend lots of time in designing advertisements. As part of this process, they are required to make ethical choices. The advertisements consists the choices. Telling the truth in advertisement is a pretty ethical standard. However, like we are aware in todays world, there is pure truth and there is useful truth. Mostly we will see or notice useful truth on advertisement instead of pure truth. Marketers make unethical decisions when creating deceptive advertisements. That creates huge impact on customers and their experiences with the company. Moreover, there is an impact with the companies creating deceptive advertisements as well, such as either growing customer inquiries or legal issues with government regulations. Deceptive advertising is a global ethical issue. Several airline companies in United States have faced huge fines from Department of Transportation in regards to deceptive advertising. One of the airlines was Southwest. Southwest airlines have been charged for deceptive advertising for numerous times. Most recent was in early 2014, the company paid $200,000 for advertising inaccurate information on the air. Moreover, they were charged additional $100,000 for being repeated offender.

...RESEARCH PAPER - DREAMS About a month ago the two of us brainstormed a few ideas for our first Psychology project. After a weighing the pros and cons of our options, we decided to research dreams and dreaming. We were hoping to learn some information over the vague topic of dreams such as the biology, the causes of dreams, and possibly some of the meanings behind certain dreams. Not only that, but we were interested in the different varieties of dreams people had and why they had them. From the beginning, we had hoped to answer some seemingly basic questions such as “What is a dream?” “What are some different types of dreams people experience?” and “Why would someone experience a certain type of dream?” After many hours and much research, we feel that we were rather successful in answering these and many more questions regarding the topic. So what IS a dream? Well, according to Sigmund Freud, dreams are the, “royal road to the unconscious.” Coming into this project with little to no experience on the topic, it was more than difficult to comprehend why it was that important. “They’re only dreams,” we would say, but after extensive research and reading, it is much easier to follow where Freud was coming from. You see, dreams are not simple; you have to admire the intricacy of a dream interweaving thoughts, ideas, and experiences a person has had in his/her lifetime. The process of dreaming itself connects different parts of the mind that may not be able to find each other...

...Derrick Dunker Justin Hampton English 102 February 12, 2013 Lucid Dreaming Not many people know exactly what this phenomenon consists of or even is. Lucid dreaming, just like regular dreaming, is a very fascinating and misunderstood occurrence. Supposedly you can harness it and use it to open up new doorways that you’ve never been able to imagine in your lifetime. Lucid dreaming is a very good way to escape and can actually be very eye opening. Why do I believe this? Let me explain through the research I’ve gathered. First things first, for those who don’t know what I’m talking about. Lucid dreaming is a phenomenon that occurs when the dreamer is in a dream and realizes that they are in fact in the dream state. Typically the reaction is as follows, the dreamer freaks out and feels as if they will be trapped in the dream for a prolonged amount of time. This is followed by an attempt to recall when they passed out and where they were when they did. Most of the time unless this person is an experienced lucid dreamer they won’t be able to recall these things. For those adventurous ones the next step is to begin creating. The universe is the limit, you can create anything you want, build giant skyscrapers from nothing, fly around like Neo from the matrix, turn into the hulk, etc. Their really is no limit to what a person can do while in the lucid dreaming state. Some of this I take from research and some from personal experience, the idea may seem far fetched but training can...

...Alarm Fatigue Alarm fatigue is a growing national problem within the health care industry that links medical technology as a serious hazard that poses a significant threat to patient safety within hospitals across the country. Alarm fatigue occurs when nurses encounter an overwhelming amount of alarms thus becoming desensitized to the firing alarms. Alarm desensitization is a multifaceted issue that is related to the number of alarming medical devices, a high false alarm rate, and the lack of alarm standardization in hospitals today (Cvach, 2012). Desensitization can lead to delayed response times, alarms silenced or turned off, or alarms adjusted to unsafe limits, which can create a dangerous situation for the patient. Alarm fatigue has been identified as having negative effects on patients as well as healthcare professionals. Many hospitals have reported that alarm-related injuries have occurred due to the overwhelming amount of constant sounding alarms. Critical alarms cause nurses to tune out sounds, which in turn triggers the brain to adjust to stimulation, thus causing a healthcare professional to disregard the alarms. Hospital alarms can come from an array of devices including blood pressure machines, oxygen saturation devices, sleep apnea devices, fall prevention alarms, intravenous pumps, patient-controlled analgesia pumps, patient call systems, ventilators, telephones, anti-embolism pumps, and heart monitors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problem...
