...As a resilient species, human beings learn no matter what environment they find themselves in. Eventually we become successful, unsuccessful, or somewhere in between determined by ourselves and our peers, and much of this is determined by the education we receive. In the early years we primarily educate through schooling at home or in a public setting. Schooling is comprised of three main areas regardless of the setting: Academic Learning, Physical Development, and figuring out where we fit in the world (Societal Placement). Although both forms of education have their merits, public schooling is the most conducive to a meaningful education in these areas. The main aspect that an education revolves around is Academia. Humans evolve, and we...

...The Influence of Media in Judicial System The Influence of Media in Judicial System How many times has there been an innocent person released after more than a decade of serving in prison? Does media frenzy have an effective role in matters like this? Does everybody believe in the saying “innocent until proven guilty?” With much variety of media’s entertainments, public interest, as expected, has been increased, and it is still increasing. Despite the fact that it is good for people to be aware of what is going on around them, there has to be a line to how much media can interfere into life of others. The presence of media in the courtroom assures that people would be informed of how the legal system works besides of being an observer of a fair and unbiased trail. But their presence in the courtroom with cameras, tapes, and other especial equipments would cause more harm than benefit. Freedom of speech in addition to people’s interest in drama of the courtroom stimulates media’s curiosity in legal matters, and sometimes this curiosity will defy the privacy of others. Media’s influence on public and especially on jury repeatedly has caused the change of the verdict, an example of this influence is a case from Capital Defense Network; “Conviction for murders, armed robbery and attempted rape with a punishment of death was reversed and remanded for retrial because juror read news accounts detailing defendant's prior assault of a woman with a hammer...

To determine who the operator is the FTC will consider who owns and controls the information and what role the web site plays in its collection of information and maintaining. For CIPA Schools and Libraries may not receive discounts unless they certify that they have an internet safety policy that also includes technology protection measures. The protection must include filters to block obscene and harmful to minors. Before adapting this safety policy they must give a reasonable notice and hold a minimum of one public hearing to address the Proposal. The proposal must address the following; * Access to minors * The security of minors when they use e-mail, chat rooms or other electronic communication. * Unauthorized access by minors including hacking. * Unauthorized disclosure, use or discrimination * Measures to restrict minors access Schools and libraries get E-Rate funding only if they certify compliance with CIPA.

...I just recently stopped at our public library and check out the book “Peak” by Roland Smith. After finishing reading the book I was amazed by how much meaning it had and the great lessons it tought. I immediately thought that this book should be read by as many people as possible and that is why I am writing this letter to you. In this letter I am requesting that you add “Peak” by Roland Smith to our library. I think it would be an amazing addition because of its aspect of thrill, characters that teach a lesson, and meaningful theme. Imagine your toes are freezing, you can't breath, you have lost sight of everything more than a foot in front of you. When your toe slips. You are hanging off a cliff that is 29,000 feet to the ground and if even a finger slips you will surely die and fall to your death to be left with the other thousands of people who did not summit everest. This is the feeling you have the whole time reading this book while Peak tells his story of him summiting Mt.Everest (or does he?) and the thrill of trying to reach the top. When I read this book it felt as if I was climbing the mountain right by his side. This is a feeling most people will never have in their life and “Peak” gives it...

...Sample APA Annotated Bibliography With Instructions APA means American Psychological Association and often refers to the style of documentation adopted by that professional group, a style that features the date of publication more prominently than other forms of documentation. See the Hodges’ Harbrace Handbook (pp. 652-679***) and the PowerPoint presentation on APA under the Research Writing Resources in the Web Resources section of the ENC 1135 on-line syllabus for details. Since annotated means enhanced or clarified with notes, an annotated bibliography is a list of sources presented with comments on content and usefulness to the research under way. The list must be presented in alphabetical order by the author’s last name or the first word of the title (for a resource that shows no author), regardless of form of the source; that is book, journal, Internet page, and CD-ROM—with author(s) or without Sources—all appear together on one list. Do not number the entries on the References list. The forms for the electronic resources appear accurately and carefully on the Learning Resources pages of the IRCC site, or you may pick up the printed “Documenting Electronic Resources APA STYLE” at the Ft. Pierce campus library and at the sites. Carefully note that the title of an APA bibliography is “References.” All items on the sample list below are pure fiction, as are all comments; they are offered to provide example of proper form. A 750-1000 word APA must...

...Fullerton College Transitioning from high school to college can be intimidating I know this because that is what doing right now. Everything is different from the people, to the schedule, and just the surrounding. In high school I was always that student who always did good enough, that did homework here and there. I knew that I could do the work, but never really wanted to. Instead I would have rather hung out with friends, watch TV, or go play basketball. Never wanted to study or do homework towards the end of the senior year I realized that I am capable of more. Even though I averaged a 3.0, I could’ve gotten a higher GPA if I had put in more effort. If I wanted to succeed in life then I have to start putting in the time and effort, and that starts with succeeding in college. Various of students have their own plan to succeed in school, but mine it starts with setting myself goals, time management and most importantly taking advantage of student services here at Fullerton College. First of all I’m going to set myself goals not just life goals but goals in generals. Setting goals is practically a to do list, it explains to you what is need from yourself. It is going to give me direction to my life and a purpose. I feel like if I don’t set myself goals then somehow some way I’m going to start following a path made by others. Setting a goal for me is a way to fuel my ambition. For example what I really want to do in life is to have my own show, to make people laugh. To either...

...Information Technology Acts Financial Services Modernization Act Of 1999 Can what happened during the Great Depression ever happen again? They are not sure. As a country, they have taken steps to decrease the extent of damage something like this could ever do again. The technological systems used today for tracking, maintaining, and storing data are much more complex, complicated, of larger capacity, and in need of complex laws to protect the information. To understand the full reasoning behind the need for this act we can look at what happened during the great depression. At that time, there were banks participating in brokerage and investment services without any oversight or regulation. When the Great Depression happened the impact it had on society, individuals, families, the economy, and the nation itself was of significant magnitude. Many people, companies, and businessmen lost everything they owned, their lives savings gone forever; banks closed and went bankrupt. Some men took their own lives over the monumental financial loss. In 1933 Congress passed the Glass-Steagall Act that prohibited commercial banks from taking these additional risks with security transactions. This helped protect people who kept their lives savings and earnings with the bank. Decades later while struggling during economic turns, financial leaders believed that if businesses could collaborate it would give them profitable divisions during downturns’ and therefore escape major losses...

...way of pursuing that inquiry, namely through the use of the Socratic method of question and answer." (Satris, 2015). Many different schools arose after Socrates death and claimed that they followed his examples, which is one reason why Socrates remains a giant in philosophy today. The Socratic Method can be used by those who are less wise than Socrates ever was himself, thus it could be said that Socrates had a mission that proved successful on the direction of philosophy which has had an effect that can never be undone. This ultimately has an effect on how philosophy is taught and how philosophers think in our present day lives and educational careers. The common school movement began to take place in the 1830's where a more state sponsored compulsory education for the masses set the foundation for what eventually becomes the educational system we have now in our everyday lives. There were schools for the poor, pauper schools, and private schools for the affluent. There were also some district schools as what we have today as well as schools run by churches. The distinction between private and public schools which we are accustomed to seeing today did not exist. Horace Mann, otherwise known as the father of education, was a big part and leader of the common school movement. He created the first state...

...Standards and expectations for leaders in many organizations are different for women than men. Why does it seem so difficult for women to advance to high-level leadership positions and have the same opportunities as men? Why is it so uncommon for a woman to be CEO? Are women compensated equally for doing the same job as their male counterparts? If a woman is older than 40 does she have as many opportunities as men the same age? Is there still gender discrimination occurring in the workplace? These are all questions to ponder, even now in the year 2011. There is much information available on women leaders and the impact they are having on the top ‘Fortune’ 1000 companies. The information is varied and there are some mixed messages about whether women are treated equal to their male counterparts and making progress. It does seem that diversity in the workplace is becoming more the norm and creating a shift to allow women more opportunities to develop their leadership skills and to compete for higher-level positions. Historically male dominated industries such as Engineering and Information Technology seem to be seeing more women managers. I believe that corporations that have diversity have more innovation and are more efficient as a result, so they should be more profitable. One of the top leading non-profit organizations is Catalyst, it was established in 1962 by Felice Schwartz to promote diversity and inclusion for women in the workplace (Wikipedia). According to the...

...consequences of a failure and possible suspension or expulsion. 1 Explain the Eighth Amendment (Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause). The Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause can be found in the English Bill of Rights in 1689 and later adopted by the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1787. The phrase describes “punishment which is considered unacceptable due to the suffering, pain or humiliation it inflicts on the condemned person”. This amendment also includes the text that “excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed...”. It is thought that defendants who are not bailed have a more difficult time preparing for their defense. And by being “imprisoned” they are therefore being “punished” for the duration. That is why that questions of bail are always to be taken seriously by the courts. However, the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause did not make our Founding Fathers necessarily opponents against the Death Penalty. The Crimes Act of 1790 mandated the death penalty for treason, and also the mutilation of the corpse. There is no doubt, our modern courts would find mutilation of a corpse to be regarded as cruel and unusual as well as abhorrent in practice. The practice of flogging was also considered a common “back then” but clearly unacceptable today. We can see that “cruel and unusual” seems to change with the change of society. Our Eighth Amendment would prohibit: 1) the torture of U.S. citizens 2) inhumane prison conditions...
