...The key research question is as follows: “What psychological motivation causes females to become suicide bombers?” Differences in motivations have been noted between various categories of terrorists. It would thus be insightful to determine the psychological factors that lead to female suicide bombing. In the past, it was always assumed that suicide bombers are unemployed men who have been indoctrinated into believing that they will receive rewards for their attacks in the afterlife by living in paradise. Therefore, the predominant profile has been: male, young, economically deprived, and religiously extreme. However, women have altered this perception because their emergence signifies shifting motivations. One’s motivation is tied to one’s...

...A Further Analysis of Apocalypse Now Vlad Dovgan History Through Film Mr. Ellis Graham 1/13/2013 It is said that some of the best things in life are those that come unexpected. For weeks, my friend had nagged me to watch a movie he had seen, called Apocalypse Now. He described it to me, and I was not interested. War movies don’t excite me that much, and I did not want to go out of the way to watch it. I’m not a violent person so watching this movie would be out of characteristic for me. However, when this research paper was assigned, it seemed to be destiny that I would finally watch this movie. I gave in, and decided this would be a great way to kill two birds with one stone- I would satisfy my friend, and be able to complete this assignment. Little did I know at the time, I was in for something truly special. While most men would be satisfied serving their team in war and returning home, the same could not be said for Benjamin Willard. After fighting in Vietnam, Willard found that he did not fit in back in America. He was miserable and desired to return to battle, so he did. A highly regarded man, Willard was given the task of finding and killing Walter E. Kurtz, a murderer who is stationed in Cambodia with the Montagnards, who view him as a god. To reach Kurtz, Willard joins the crew of a Navy river patrol boat who are to ferry him up a fictional river up to Cambodia. The boat’s crew consists of four men: Chief, Chef, Lance, and Clean.

...2010 Information Technology Acts Paper Many laws have been implemented by Congress to protect the integrity of United States citizens. With this fast technology growth. Several of these laws are not even ten years old, especially some Information Technology Acts. As the nation grows, our laws grow just as fast. Information Technology is the “acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of telecommunications and computing”. Includes various areas incluing, computer software and hardware, programming langueages and processes. After doing extensive research in a lot of the Technology Acts, the following acts are going to be discussed within this paper; Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, (CFAA) 1986 and Children’s Protection Act, 2000 (CIPA). CFAA was introduced to reduce cracking of computer systems and to address Federal computer related offenses. This act, which is codified as 18 U.S.C § 1030 covers most federal computer related offenses. California was the first state to legislate a reporting requirement for computer hackers. The CFAA mainly deals with people who have exceeded the scope of authorized access and computer hackers. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The CFAA knows that a cyber-attack can damage a business as well as incur substantial costs responding to unauthorized use or computer hacking.

A computer programmer stumbles across a disk containing confidential information, then has her not so secured computer hacked into by a company owned by Gregg Microsystems. In the turn of events to follow, she has all of her personal information, history and financial records deleted, then to her surprise, later finds out that her identity is replaced to reflect that she is known as a criminal. Technology in the next 30 years will become more advanced and with it comes a plague of security threats the world has never seen before. The nostalgia of 5½ inch Floppy Discs, Commodore 64s, Apple II and Atari 800 computers being connected to by way of voice synthesizers, 300 baud acoustic couplers, mass prefix dialers, will be everything needed for anyone to start their own cyber terrorism business. The list of new technology today is so vast that it only scratches the surface of what the next 30 years might become. Cyber Terrorism is more complex than the above mentioned movies. The research in this paper will show various ways in which cyber terrorism is introduced and the effects of it use.

...The Origin and Evolution of War. Gabriel Turner Com172 12/12/2012 The Origin and Evolution of War. War has plagued our society for quite some time. This research paper will focus on war and its origin, and determine which society first declared war and how has war evolved over time. Its purpose is to give accurate information to the reader. In order to answer the question, where did war originate, it would be helpful to know the exact meaning of the word. Most people know what war is but may not know the correct definition. According to Webster’s Dictionary (2012), “A contest between nations or states, carried on by force, whether for deference, for revenging insults and redressing wrongs, for the extension of commerce, for the acquisition of territory, for obtaining and establishing the superiority and dominion of one over the other, or for any other purpose; armed conflict of sovereign powers; declared and open hostilities.” Pg.1. Essentially war has no origin; it came into existence since the dawn of time. War was born when the need arose. It is the result of man wanted to resolve conflict by force because his fellow man did not agree or believe the same thing they did. War appeared into society as natural as the sun rises from the east every morning. Now ordinary war could not exist without greed or politics, just as peace is only profound by love and understanding...

...how best to treat people with high blood pressure because of its exceptional results. In this trial of more than 9,000 people age 50 and older with high blood pressure, an aggressive treatment strategy to keep systolic blood pressure below 120 was compared with a conventional one aimed at keeping it below 140. The subjects all had a high risk of heart attacks, stroke and heart failure. The N.I.H. concluded, six years into a planned eight-year study, that for these patients, pushing blood pressure down far below currently recommended levels was very beneficial. Ending a study early is rather unusual. In such cases, studies are stopped not by the investigators, but by an independent group of expert scientists who monitor the trial for evidence of unexpected harm or benefit that requires swift action. When a trial is halted early it is a surprise to the researchers who must not only move quickly to notify the participating doctors and subjects, but also decide how to communicate the results. The usual practice is to make a public announcement with an interpretation of the findings and then finalize the database and write the paper. The N.I.H. followed this playbook, and the media reported that the findings supported more vigorous treatment of high blood pressure, treatment that could be lifesaving. It was reported as major news. The problem is that many details of the study have not been released. It will be months before...

Sign up Steven Nissen, a heart specialist at The Cleveland Clinic, has linked pharmaceutical drugs such as Vioxx and Avandia with high cardiovascular risks in patients. (Dustin Franz/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) By Peter Whoriskey November 24, 2012 For drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline, the 17-page article in the New England Journal of Medicine represented a coup. The 2006 report described a trial that compared three diabetes drugs and concluded that Avandia, the company’s new drug, performed best. “We now have clear evidence from a large international study that the initial use of [Avandia] is more effective than standard therapies,” a senior vice president of GlaxoSmithKline, Lawson Macartney, said in a news release. What only careful readers of the article would have gleaned is the extent of the financial connections between the drugmaker and the research. The trial had been funded by GlaxoSmithKline, and each of the 11 authors had received money from the company. Four were employees and held company stock. The other seven were academic experts who had received grants or consultant fees from the firm. Whether these ties altered...

For that, it is an illegal act in which computers or computer networks are devices, desired goals, and incidental to the crime or places of criminal activities (Rao, 2011). In addition, “This includes anything from downloading illegal music files to stealing millions of dollars from online bank accounts. Cybercrime also includes non-monetary offenses, such as creating and distributing viruses on other computers or posting confidential business information on the Internet” (Ştefan, 2011, p.116).

...contract, housekeepers who have been captured not at their will, adoption agencies not registered by the government and operate illegally, armed forces that recruit children especially in Colombia. In Africa and other poor countries, the menace of arranged marriage still exists. The act of slavery has been publically outlawed by many countries; nonetheless there are over 35 million slaves in the world. This essay will outline the reason, challenges and solution to slavery keeping emphasis on Colombia, where an estimated 15000 children are recruited as soldiers. In Colombia, instead of children going to school and institutions as normal children in a society do, they are recruited in the army to fight enemies of the state (singer 99) This paper will outline the reasons for this menace and ways these children are recruited. The government fails to protect the Colombian children thus violating human rights. According to the theory of universalism, basic human rights like right to life, food, shelter, clothing and movement are freely given at no cost. Exposing children to weapons instead of toys is clearly detrimental to the upbringing of a child. Moreover the child will get used to violence and once it matures, the child may end up being violent, brutish and nasty. Article 38 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child asserted that countries or nations shall take all feasible measures to safeguard those individuals that are not over 15 or reached 15 years of age no...

...Nanking atrocity of 1937-38. This event is better known as the “Rape of Nanking” or “Nanking Massacre” (Wakabayashi). Even today, there is no healthy dialogue between the countries of China and Japan in regards to the atrocity that occurred there so long ago. The last time that there were any concessions made in regards to the atrocities in China were during and after World War II. Much of the historiography has been limited due the amount of silence that has been present throughout the world. Because of this, research about the atrocity had just recently begun to surface. Due to this fact, there are many factors that are brought into question when looking specifically at a historical event, especially one that is tied to such brutal emotion. The authors I have chosen each attempt to explain why there has been such a delay in Nanking’s historiography and at the same time attempt to explain what actually occurred there in 1937-38. I selected three books for this paper. The first is The Nanking Atrocity 1937-38 by Bob Tadashi Wakabayashi. The book was released on the 70th anniversary of the fall of the Chinese city of Nanking to the Japanese army. The perspective offered is by majority non-American with the exception being two contributors. Wakabayashi discusses what lies at the core of bitter disputes over history, wartime victimization, and postwar restitution that hinder healthy Sino-Japanese relations to this day. The Nanking Atrocity, which is both history and historiography...
