...Associate Level Material Appendix I Introductions and Conclusions As you begin to write the rough draft of your paper, think critically about how you might draw your readers’ attention in a compelling way. Consider how to create a rapport with the audience. For example, what areas of agreement may already exist between you and your readers? What does your audience need in order to make them interested in your topic? Types of Introductions One way to draw in the audience is to grab readers’ attention with the introduction. Consider opening your paper in one of the following ways: • Tell a story or an anecdote. If you have personal experience in this area, tell a story about yourself or someone you know. Example: Last year, approximately 3,400 adult nonsmokers died from lung cancer due to secondhand smoke. • Provide a short, famous quotation. Example: “It's easy to quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times..” – Mark Twain (1835–1910) • Write as if your position will argue the other side of the topic. Example: Smoking is not illegal and is still a right for Americans to exercise. • Ask a question. Example: Are you aware that secondhand smoke is now a known cause of cancer in humans? • Share an interesting point about the subject. Example: Smoke from cigarettes can linger in the air for hours, even after a smoker extinguishes the cigarette. Besides attracting a reader’s...

...Computer crime Computer Crime Definition A computer crime is any illegal action where the data on a computer is accessed without permission. This access doesn't have to result in loss of data or even data modifications. Arguably the worst computer crime occurs when there are no indications that data was accessed. Computer crime is often attributed to rogue hackers and crackers, but increasingly organized crime groups have realized the relative ease of stealing data with relative low-level of risk. Government organizations are also rumored to be involved with hacking in to computer systems, but the legality of such actions is far too grey an area to be discussed here. Computer crime, or cybercrime, refers to any crime that involves a computer and a network, where the computers may or may not have played an instrumental part in the commission of a crime.[1] Netcrime refers, more precisely, to criminal exploitation of the Internet.[2] Issues surrounding this type of crime have become high-profile, particularly those surrounding hacking, copyright infringement, child pornography, and child grooming. There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is lost or intercepted, lawfully or otherwise. On the global level, both governments and non-state actors continue to grow in importance, with the ability to engage in such activities as espionage, financial theft, and other cross-border crimes sometimes referred to as cyber warfare. The international legal system is...

...of this essay is to discuss the meaning and validity of the label criminology has as a ‘rendezvous discipline’. To do this, this essay illuminates where criminology originates from and what its primary focus is. The Chicago School, Lombrosian Theory, Positivist and Classical criminology, are discussed. Other disciplines namely Sociology, Psychology, and the Criminal Justice Sector are examined and applied to the broad subject of criminology, to show the network of how this subject came to be recognised as such a discipline. Exposed are main issues that occur for the likes of criminologists and other social scientists when challenged with defining criminology; and the problems that definition’s carry with themselves. This essay will look in to the birth of criminology as a new discipline and how it has evolved in what it is known today as an applied social science. Explanation of what an ‘applied social science’ will be detailed and collectively the answer to the meaning and validity of the label of ‘rendezvous discipline’ will be provided. Topics that criminology is weaved into for instance are Globalisation, Capital Punishment, Serial Killing, Media, and Genocide. Used to demonstrate the importance that this discipline provides, in a range of contexts Media is the focus later in the essay. Criminology can be studied on its own as a subject, and also applied and used in determining why certain acts of criminality occur in society, referring often to patterns in crime using Criminological...

...repercussions to challenge the views of the white men of the jury. Instead, he encourages the jury to swap their racist views with sexist and class views. During the conclusion of Atticus’ defense, he tells the jury, “She [Mayella] has committed no crime, she has merely broken a rigid and time honored code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with. She is a victim of cruel poverty and ignorance, but I cannot pity her; she is white.”(271-2) Atticus’ diction is critical, in that it shows his harsh opinions of Mayella. Words like ‘rigid’, ‘severe’, and ‘hounded’, all contribute to his overwhelming accusations of Mayella. Atticus is trying to obstruct the jury’s views of Tom by highlighting the faults of Mayella. This quotation supports Gladwell's...

...Tyler Clark 11 June 2015 Evaluation Essay People say you learn things from movies, American History X is a prime example for opening other’s eyes to life lessons. Life is too short to hate everyone for no reason. Our life expectancy is very short for human beings to hate so much. Be kind and loving. Those qualities will always be remembered. Hate can change the person you used to be. American History X was played in theatres back in 1998. Started Edward Norton, and Edward Furlong, two famous actors that were in popular movies as well. Edward Norton played in Fight Club and Edward Furlong played in Terminator 2. Like Danny Vinyard says “Hate is baggage, lives too short to be pissed off all the time.”Derek Vinyard used to be a straight-A student until he became part of the skinheads and a leader of the white supremacists in his hometown. But what influenced his change was his father’s death. Derek once said to a news reporter about his father’s death, “Yeah its race related! Every problem in this country is race related not just crime. It's like… immigration, AIDS, welfare those are problems in them. The Black community, the Hispanic community, the Asian community, they're not white problems.” Danny Vinyard, a 14 year old boy who was the younger brother of Derek Vinyard, who soon became corrupted. He had a great future ahead of him until he wanted to become like his big brother. Like any other younger sibling, right? So he soon developed that skinhead mentality and a...

...Do we hav freedom ? * You could say that there is more Freedom of speech, because in the US you can say ANYTHING while in many European countries hate speech is forbidden. That's a question of personal opinion, personally I prefer when hate speech is forbidden, I don't think Freedom of speech's role is to protect racist/xenophobic/homophobic pigs. Americans also have the "freedom" to own guns (though it isn't completely forbidden in other Western countries, just less easy), but this "freedom" is considered barbaric in most of the Western world and is even seen as a threat towards the freedom of others. The fact that it leads to high crime rates doesn't help. For some reason, Americans often seem to associate "Freedom" with guns and most Westerners don't understand that. Freedom of Religion is VERY different among "free" countries. Issues linked to Religion are also treated very differently. "Red Rover", the American Bill of Rights is far, really far from being alone. For example, the slightly older French "Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen" is generally considered as the reference for Human Rights. As for the religious aspect of the American Bill or Rights, claiming it's a good thing is a matter of personnal opinion. That and its lack of universalism (it's only about American citizens) are probably the reason the "French" Bill of Rights is considered the reference. You (like other answerers) also seem to think that Democracy (and...

...responsibility of telling the story of the boy who went into prison. The boy is Wideman`s younger brother, Robby, who is a black sheep of the family. Wideman uses three voices tell his brother`s sad story to explain what caused Robby “went bad”. The three voices are his brother Robby, his mother and himself. Wideman has many purposes for telling the story of Robby. First of all he is trying to understand him. He tries to learn his terms. In other words tries to comprehend why his brother is very different. While he does, this he can also reflect and learn a lot about himself. Wideman has many struggles in accomplishing all of this. He is trying to tell the story of his brother from a neutral perspective. He believes if he only tells it from his point of view, he could not tell a true Robby’s story. It is very hard for him to hear his brother story without listening to himself. This struggle can be seen in this essay, “The hardest habit to break, since it was the habit of a lifetime, would be listening to Xu 2 myself listen to him. That habit would destroy any chance of seeing my brother on his terms; and seeing him in his terms, learning his terms, seemed the whole point of learning his story” (672) Because of this Wideman has to use different views to show the true story of his brother Robby includes the voices and stories of others`...

...“The one best way to increase work motivation for an organization is through financial rewards”. Discuss. This essay will discuss if money and financial rewards are truly the one best way to increase work motivation for an organization. This essay will point out both the pros and cons of making financial rewards the best work motivator in an organization. Why are companies’ making a major concern on motivating employees within our organization? This is because motivated employees perform better in their jobs. Especially with high-ranking officials whom make most of the companies’ important decisions, such as whether it’s a suitable move for a company to invest in a project, or whether it’s a smart choice for a company to expand overseas. If these officials happen to be not motivated, their job performance will show decline; therefore, causing the company to lose huge revenues which may in turn cause the loss of jobs of many. Thus, motivated employees play a huge role in bringing huge returns to a company that will benefit shareholders, employees themselves and also create new jobs for the public as the company expands. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (2006) defined employee "as a person who works for another in return for financial or other compensation". Yes, what it defined an employee to be is correct. People do work in order to get returns financially or other compensation. In the modern era, the corporate world believes that the best...

...The Novel Project Your name: Giselle Gonzalez Your Novel: 1984 – George Orwell 1. Explain how the novel represents two or more concerns of its historical time period; these concerns may be economic, political, cultural, social, or moral concerns. Clarify the author’s view on one of the following as s/he presents the concerns: right vs wrong; conservative vs radical, or elite vs commonplace. Orwell published “1984” in 1948 just after the end of World War II. Although at this time, Hitler’s reign was brought to an end, Joseph Stalin, another ruthless leader was still in power. Though they were adversaries during WW II, both men shared acute similarities in their success towards creating a totalitarian government much like the one seen in “Nineteen Eighty-Four.” The ghastly, but impressive ease with which each ruler rose and remained in power is possibly what caused Orwell to focus so heavily on political concerns in his novel. While there are no direct allusions to the Adolf Hitler or Stalin, the political devices used by the Party to control Party members in Oceania are undeniably parallel to the manipulation and brutality that each ruler used to control government. Big Brother for instance, is a fearless leader who is loved by all of the Party members. Though it is never confirmed whether or not he is a real person or just an idea, citizens praise him almost instinctively, posters of him are found in every building, and badmouthing him is not only an act of audacity, but punishable...

...Argument Essay By Joseph Peterson Ivy Tech Community College Argument Essay Guns or no guns? That seems to be a big question these days. A lot of the reason behind the discussion is mass shootings that occur so often now days. Other forms of violence with guns happen, but the most controversy over guns usually occurs after a mass shooting. The reason for that is that mass shootings tend to be more mindless and more innocent people are hurt or killed in mass shootings. The thought of what if I or one of my families was in one of these mass shootings always hit home afterwards, and so we think of ways to prevent them from happening again. I have a question though is guns really the issue or is it really another issue? I think that the anti-gun activists use every shooting as just another door to support their views against guns. I can see why they do since guns are used to the shootings, but taking away a normal citizens right to own a gun and defend themselves against crimes is not smart. These shootings are not done by normal citizens and could still occur even if they took away guns from the normal citizens who just want protection. Police are not always there when you need them and sometimes you need to protect yourself first as we can see from different crimes that take place today. What would stop a mass shooter from buying guns illegally? Do they not think that they could? Drugs are illegal but still sold and used everywhere every minute. One argument...

She was the one “who earned them the right to speak their minds” (Room 72) establishing her as an early example of writing as a profession for women. Woolf, then, marks the emergence of several Victorian women novel writers. Woolf highlights their problem with anger and the impact it had on some of them. Woolf praises Jane Austen for writing “without hate, without bitterness, without fear, without protest, without preaching.”(Room 74) On the contrary, she criticizes Charlotte Bronte although she appears more talented than Austen. Bronte’s anger of her positions as a woman, Woolf comments, “will never get her genius expressed whole and entire" and in consequence “it was...
