In 1976 Senator Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) released a report on the public accounting industry which rocked the profession. Despite a decade of revisions in rules and regulations (variously established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Accounting Principles Board, and Financial Accounting Standards Board), public accounting firms were still perceived by many on Capitol Hill as biased in favor of their clients, incapable of or unwilling to police themselves, and at times participants in cover-ups

In my line of work law enforcement, communication is a very important skill. Competent communication is defined as strategic competence: appropriate use of communication strategies (workiq.com). Strategies is the key term, in every conversation we must use appropriate words and tone and even body language to ensure that we are conveying the proper meaning with our words. An example of this in my line of work would be to ask someone how they are doing, with my hands on my gun or my handcuffs. It is

Travis Almeter Mrs. Peters 9/9/09 English 12 Response to Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell Part 1 Chapter 1-3 The world in which Winston's life takes place seems rather dark and dreary because of how cold and broken down things are. I think it would be quite creepy living with telescreens, Big Brother posters, and knowing that the Thought Police can be watching you at any moment. The slogans of The Party contradict the beliefs of modern American society. The Two Minutes Hate is almost

Seemingly, omniscient leaders run the societies in both texts; in 1984, he is known as “Big Brother” and in Equilibrium, he is known as “Father”. Both figureheads use fear, indoctrination and punishment to sustain their power of everyone and everything. Winston said “...one thing alone mattered: to keep still, to keep still and not give them an excuse to hit you”. Winston conforms out of fear of punishment. “Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.” In both texts the power of

If Brave New World was Aldous Huxley's technocratic purgatory, Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four describes a hell beyond Huxley's worst fears. Compare and contrast the two novels as visions of a future that has gone dramatically wrong. Brave New World and 1984 were both written by men who had experienced war on the grand scale of the twentieth century. Disillusioned and alarmed by what they saw in society, each author produced a powerful satire and an alarming vision of future possibilities. Although

Sport utility vehicles have come a long way since the clunky box that had little control on the highway. SUV’s used to be built on truck platforms, which gave them a heavier feel and bulkier ride. Now built on a car platform (http://www.edmunds.com/suv/before-buy.html), these crossover vehicles can be competitively compared to a standard sedan. The Chevy Equinox is a car-based SUV that has the same attributes as the mid-size passenger car, the Chevrolet Malibu, such as easier handling and a quieter
