A business man can deal with his job by using laptop and internet whereas he can still enjoy holiday with his family. Nevertheless, for every solution technology provides twice as many problems are likely to cause. The modern technology is to some extent underlying causes of negative things in our society. It's Internet that provides an accessible medium for bad elements such as pornography, crimes and so on. the teenagers who are not conscious enough tend to imitate the sexual and violence clips and images on internet. A typical example of this is the massacre in an American school. A pupil killed his classmates by his father 's gun simply because he only acted as a clip he saw.

...The Boston Massacre happened in March 5, 1770 during the evening. In the Boston Massacre, British soldiers killed five inhabitants and wounded six inhabitants. Captain Thomas Preston was responsible for the British soldiers which killed five inhabitants. Whether Captain Thomas Preston gave the order “fire” or not is a controversial issue. Although there are lots of witnesses who argued they were sure that he gave the order, there were also lots of witnesses who argued they were sure that he was not gave the “fire” order. Although the evidences not give us a certain idea that Captain Thomas Preston was guilty or not, because the evidences are controversial, evidences strongly suggest that he was not guilty, he presumably did not give the order “fire”. During the 1760s and the first days of the 1770s the tension in the Boston was high because of the Stamp Act and the other new taxes which were going to be applied, known as “Townshend Duties”. “… men such as Samuel Adams were encouraging their fellow Bostonians to be even bolder in their remonstrance.”(Wheeler, Becker & Glover, 84). Because of the inhabitant’s uneasy, the British government ordered some regiments of soldiers in Boston. However, bringing soldiers in the Boston did not bring the peace in the Boston; instead it increased the tension which was already ready to increase. The disputes between the soldiers and inhabitants started slowly, but by bid. There was a reaction to the soldiers as well as to the British sympathizer...

...The Boston Massacre was an event, which led to the death of five colonists after British soldiers when ordered to fire upon them on March 5th, 1770. Much controversy surrounds the incident, as there seems to be a few different stories of what truly happened. Regardless, many people believe the Boston Massacre was the spark that ignited the Revolutionary War. My efforts will be focused on figuring our what really happened, and what events caused the British officers to shoot into the crowd of colonists. The incident took place on King Street (which is now called State Street today), on an early morning on the 5th of March in front of the British Sentry called Private Hugh White. Edward Gerrish, an apprentice of a wigmakers, began yelling at a British officer, lieutenant John Goldfinch for an unpaid bill. Gerrish left, but eventually came back hours later and began throwing rocks at the lieutenant. Soon, many colonists joined in and threw rocks themselves. At this point, Goldfinch had reached his boiling point, and challenged Gerrish before striking him with his musket. As the evening progressed, the crowd outside the sentry grew larger and larger and continued to harass the British officers. Meanwhile, Captain Thomas Preston overlooked the entire situation as it escalated. He immediately ordered 8 soldiers to help control the situation before it got out of hand. As the soldiers approached, with muskets loaded, the crowd of nearly 400 began to surround the outnumbered officers...

...The Attica Prison riot occurred on September 8, 1971 at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York. Prisoners started the riot due to demands for better living conditions as well as responding to the death of a black radical activist prisoner who had been shot to death by corrections officers in California's San Quentin Prison in August 1971. About 2,200 inmates rebelled and seized control of the prison, taking 33 staff hostage. Prison officials continued negotiations with the inmates for 4 days. The prisoners continued to unsuccessfully negotiate with Correctional Services Commissioner Russell G. Oswald and then later with a team of observers that included Tom Wicker, an editor of the New York Times, James Ingram of the Michigan Chronicle, state senator John Dunne, state representative Arthur Eve, civil rights lawyer William Kunstler, Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Nation of Islam and others. (The Attica Uprising, 2013) Authorities finally agreed to 28 of the prisoners' demands, however they would not agree to complete amnesty from criminal prosecution for the prison takeover or for the removal of Attica's superintendent. Finally the Governor Nelson Rockefeller ordered state police to overtake the prison and take back control. As a result of this tactic at least 39 people were dead, including ten correctional officers and civilian employees. (The Attica Uprising, 2013) On September 5, 1972, eight members of the Palestinian terrorist...

...The 1972 Summer Olympic were supposed to be a new beginning. Germany had a dream to show the world a new face of optimism at the XX Olympic Games in Munich. After the reign of Hitler, Germany wanted the world to know that the country turned a new leaf. The dream instead turned into a nightmare filled with tragedy and chaos. Eleven Israeli Olympic team members were killed by Arab terrorists. As the Summer Olympics were occurring, eight Palestinian terrorists passed security with ease. The group of terrorists went to an Olympic Village where the Israeli Olympiads were staying and took them hostage. Eleven Israelites were taken hostage by eight Arab terrorists. All of this was on live television and the world was in terror. The peaceful Olympics which put the nations at peace, turned into a negotiation between terrorists. “We have learned to be on guard for this kind of thing almost all the time, but not here-not with all the nations gathered in peace, with all the talk about sportsmanship and freedom.” Said Asher Mashia, an Israeli student. A series of bullets and gunfire quickly put an end to that sort of talk. This event created a new organized terror from their attack. After three hundred German policemen surrounded the building, the long wait began. Later, the leader of the group threw out a poster that listed their demands. The demand was the release of two hundred Palestinian guerrillas who were imprisoned in Israel and safe passage to the Arab world. If the demands were...

...The Boston Massacre The Boston Massacre played a big role during the 1770’s by serving as an anti-British propaganda to enrage citizens and have the responsibility to eventually rise up and start the Revolutionary War. Citizens knew that they had the right to be free, but were growing angry because the British Parliament were raising taxes and placing taxes on them for more things. Without the Boston Massacre tensions leading up to war, and our freedom may not have happened at all. Since 1765, the people of Boston had been heading protests against British taxation: the Stamp Act then the Townshend Act. In 1767, The British Parliament passed the Townshend Act, enraging colonists. Citizens believed that the British didn’t have the right to tax them because they did not elect their representatives in Parliament. Only the Massachusetts Assembly, whose members were elected every year, had the right to levy taxes on its citizens. The Townshend Acts imposed duties on glass, lead, paints, paper and tea imported into the colonies. Townshend hoped the acts would defray imperial expenses in the colonies, but many Americans viewed the taxation as an abuse of power, resulting in the passage of agreements to limit imports from Britain. The East India Company was on the verge of collapse and Parliament hoped to boost the company's bottom line by allowing them to sell tea more cheaply to the colonists. Also, Boston was occupied by British soldiers in October, 1768 to help protect customs...

...I chose to study and analyze J.M.W. Turner’s Slave Ship for this project and found it to be very interesting. Immediately while looking at the piece you get a strong sense of emotion and drama that is being portrayed. There is a lot of depth and warmth in the colors that are used and wide swift brush strokes to create the images. The first image that caught my eye was of waves crashing on the left side of the painting. The white tips of the waves are very noticeable against the softer shades of the ocean. Behind the waves is a ship which is the next part of the painting that drew my attention. The ship seems to be caught in the rough waves of the sea and barely able to keep afloat. There is a glimmer of light from the sun peeking through and then what appears to be objects floating in the water. Without knowing the title of the painting I probably would not have known what these objects were but because the piece is title Slave Ship that leads me to believe that the images in the ocean are supposed to be humans, or slaves, that either fell out of the boat during the rough waves or tried to escape and swim away from the ship. The most interesting part of the painting is how the artist is able to seamlessly mold all of the images and emotions into one. It almost looks as though the piece was made in one continuous motion. The strokes and the colors used create a very powerful image and create a dramatic reaction for the viewer. This particular work of art by J.M.W. Turner was...

...A young man, unafraid of consequences, will end up being the first civilian shot and killed during the Boston Massacre, as well as the first casualty of the American Revolution. After British control over the colonies tightened, tensions escalated and Crispus Attucks found himself to be one of the few to be directly affected by this worsening situation. Attucks was a rope maker and seaman along with many others and lived with the constant threat of being forced into the British navy. On March 2 in 1770 a fight erupted between three British soldiers and a group of rope makers, which set the stage for a future confrontation and sparked the result of the Boston Massacre. Three days later a fight broke out again when a British soldier entered a...

...The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770. The event took place on King Street, Massachusetts. During this event, the British soldiers ruthlessly murdered five innocent civilians and injured six others. The growing tension between the colonists and the British soldiers was a direct result of the Townshend Acts of 1768. The continuous rivalry between the two progressed into a violent memory in American history. The British soldiers that participated in the Boston Massacre should have been sent to prison because they took it upon themselves to open fire against civilians rather than reason with the defenseless colonists. Therefore the soldiers’ barbaric actions cannot be justified. The British soldiers that took arms against the civilians...

...The Boston Massacre was the name given to the day when the British Army Soldiers killed five civilians and wounded six others. This event happened on March 5, 1770. The critical incident contributed to the downfall of the British regime. This all began after the death of an eleven-year-old boy, Christopher Snyder. Ebenezer Richardson fired at Snyder because the boy and a few others were harassing and tormenting him. The fact that the people believed Richardson would be brought to justice during the court session halted everyone’s plans for retaliation. The Bostonians anger was also fueled by the possible threat of cutting down the “liberty tree.” The British soldiers took position outside a building reassuring that no violence was to occur. Not long after, a mob of civilians stumbled upon them and began calling the soldiers harsh names, throwing snowballs and other objects at them, and treating them with great disrespect. A civilian then threw a club which hit a British soldier causing him to fall to the ground. As he was falling the soldiers gun discharged and moments later the other soldiers began firing their weapon as well. Once again, as the smoke cleared the soldiers could see five civilians dead and other fleeing that have been wounded. The soldiers that committed the crime were sure to be punished, but at the first court trails they were found not guilty. The case was then taken into the hands of the English; there the accused soldiers were found guilty and harshly punished...

...Screams erupt throughout the crowd as a warm red liquid sprays across the snow-covered square. As smoke arises from the muskets, five bodies buckle to the ground. It is March 5, 1770, infamously known as The Boston Massacre. While the events in March 1770 were embellished on both the British and Colonists sides, the facts still remain. The accounts of the Boston Massacre, according to British officer Captain Thomas Preston, engender him as an innocent victim. Preston embellishes his account of events by depicting the colonists as savages, portraying himself as the victim, and hiding his shame of losing control of the situation Preston gives true accounts of the events of March 1770; however, he warps the events to rationalize his actions. In his version, he often describes the colonists as uncivilized and “insolent.” The colonists used “the most cruel and horrid Threats against the Troops” Preston illustrates the colonist as wild people, rioting, chanting, and beyond any means of control. Undergoing daily fist fights with the colonists, not once does he cite the actions of his soldiers for the brawls. He, in fact, states that every aggressive...
