Does the FBI have the right to use Carnivore? :: Argumentative Persuasive Essays

Does the FBI have the right to use Carnivore? Carnivore is an unnecessary system that should be replaced by one that infringes less on the privacy of Internet users, such as one that records the data of certain subscribers and sends only that information to the FBI. The methods used for intercepting communications, from simple wiretapping to the NSA’s ECHELON satellite surveillance system, have been designed as a means of intercepting information concerning criminal and terrorist plans and using that information to apprehend suspects before they cause any harm. Carnivore, the FBI’s email â€Å"wiretapping† system, is used to scan emails on a specific ISP that is believed to be hosting a suspected criminal. Carnivore was designed to scan packets of information passing through a router in search of suspicious activity. It looks for keywords and names in the headers of emails and other data that may lead to the prevention of crimes or apprehension of suspects. It is believed that Carnivore was derived from commercial online detection software known as Etherpeek. [Tyson] In February 1997, the system known as â€Å"Omnivore† was proposed to run on Solaris X86 computers. In June 1999, it was replaced by the Carnivore system, which runs on Windows NT-based computers. [Konrad] Carnivore is part of a system known as the DragonWare Suite. This system contains three parts: Carnivore, the system that captures information; Packeteer, which is believed to be used as a packet reassembler; and Coolminer, an application that is thought to be capable of analyzing the data collected. [Tyson] It was recommended that Carnivore’s name be changed because its current name caused people to infer that it would aggressively invade their privacy. Because of its job as a â€Å"digital collection system,† it was recently renamed DCS1000. [Luening] It has also been said that the FBI has merely â€Å"dressed its online wolf in sheep’s clothing† [Luening]. When a suspected criminal is detected, a court order for investigation must be issued, and then a Carnivore machine is set up at the suspect’s ISP. It then scans all incoming and outgoing data for every user on that ISP. It is claimed that only the headers of emails are scanned for information and that the contents are left alone, but there are questions as to whether or not this is true and, if it is not, whether citizens can trust the government not to read personal email while searching for their suspect.

Succubus Shadows Chapter 21

Maddie claimed that even Seth's family didn't know where he was. According to her, he'd really just†¦vanished. He wasn't answering his phone. He wasn't showing up at the bookstore. When people disappeared, I immediately jumped to supernatural conclusions, but Maddie then added – through more tears – that she used her key to get her belongings from Seth's place and found a suitcase and some clothing missing. Feeling guilty about having the key anymore, she then shoved it into my hand and told me to return it. Or throw it away. I did my best to comfort her some more and then offered to take her over to Doug's. Roman shot me a warning look as we were about to leave. â€Å"Don't do anything stupid,† he said out of Maddie's hearing. â€Å"I knew your nice bedside manner wouldn't last,† I returned. Despite Doug's slacker rocker-boy lifestyle, I knew Maddie'd be in good hands with him. I dropped her off there and found Doug a mixture of personas. To Maddie, he was astonishingly kind and gentle – the caring brother as opposed to the usual teasing brother. Once she was lying down in the other room, he made sure I knew exactly what he thought of Seth in very explicit detail. There wasn't much I could say to that except that they should call me if they needed anything. I left. In spite of Maddie's words, I drove to Terry and Andrea's anyway. Seth ending things with Maddie so abruptly was crazy – almost crazier than him proposing to her in the first place. But him disappearing without telling his family? No. He wouldn't do that. He was too responsible. Most likely he'd told them not to tell Maddie where he was. Kendall opened the door when I arrived, her face lighting up like Christmas morning. â€Å"Georgina! Georgina's here!† Morgan and McKenna, who had been watching cartoons, came tearing over and each wrapped themselves around a leg. â€Å"Nice to see you guys too,† I laughed. Terry had been sitting on the couch near the twins and came over to me with a little less zeal. â€Å"Hey, Georgina,† he said, face typically friendly. He was shorter than Seth and a few years older, but overall, they bore a notable resemblance. â€Å"Sorry for the mass assault.† â€Å"No problem.† I unwound Morgan from me, but McKenna proved a little more resistant. Glancing back at Terry, I said hesitantly, â€Å"I was wondering if I could talk to you, uh, about something.† Terry wasn't stupid. None of the Mortensens were. â€Å"Sure,† he said. â€Å"Girls, let go of Georgina and go back to the cartoons. We're going to go into the kitchen.† â€Å"But we want her to watch TV with us!† â€Å"Can we come?† Terry laid down firm but friendly fatherly law, and with great reluctance, the girls returned to the couch. I was impressed. I wasn't sure I could have refused that group anything. He led me to the kitchen, but before either of us could say anything, Andrea came in from down the hall, smiling in surprise when she saw me. I smiled in surprise right back at her, but it was more from her appearance than anything else. It was the middle of the day, but she wore a robe over pajamas. Her mussed blond hair and dark eye circles suggested she'd been sleeping. Terry had been leaning against the counter but jumped up when he saw her. â€Å"Oh, honey, you should go back to bed.† She shrugged him off. â€Å"I wanted to see who's here. How's it going?† â€Å"Fine,† I said. Then, unable to resist: â€Å"Are you feeling okay?† â€Å"A little under the weather. Fortunately, Terry's manning up today. He does almost as good a job as me with the girls.† I laughed politely at the joke, but it soon faded. We stood awkwardly for a moment, everyone knowing why I was here but no one doing anything about it. Finally, I took a deep breath. â€Å"I've come to ask you where Seth is.† â€Å"Funny,† said Andrea. â€Å"We were going to ask you the same thing.† I was taken aback. â€Å"How would I know?† They both just stared. â€Å"I don't!† â€Å"When this happened a couple days ago†¦this thing with Maddie†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Terry glanced uneasily at his wife before continuing. â€Å"We just assumed, well, that it was because of you.† â€Å"Why would it be because of me? I just found out about this today.† â€Å"It's always been because of you,† said Andrea gently. â€Å"There was never anyone else. We like Maddie. He likes her. But that's the problem. Throughout it all, we could just tell that you were always the one. Now, whatever happened between you guys to make it go bad isn't any of our business. We're just not that surprised to see this new development.† â€Å"We would, however, like to know where he is,† said Terry more pragmatically. â€Å"I don't know,† I said helplessly, still a little stunned by Andrea's words. â€Å"Maddie said he'd packed up, and I figured you guys were keeping his location a secret from her.† I eyed them suspiciously. â€Å"And me?† â€Å"No,† said Terry. â€Å"We really don't know.† I didn't have an angel's talent, but I believed he was telling the truth. Andrea nodded in agreement. â€Å"He just called us a couple days ago and said he'd ended things. Didn't give any explanation – but well, you know how he is. He doesn't explain much anyway. Then, when Maddie and no one else had seen him, we started to get worried.† A couple days ago. Seth had ended things with her a couple days ago – when the whole soul retrieval gig had gone down. â€Å"We actually tried calling you,† added Terry. â€Å"But never got an answer.† â€Å"Ah, yeah. I've been sick this week too.† Eyeing Andrea – who looked exhausted – I suddenly felt bad for taking up any more of their time. â€Å"Look, I should go. Thanks for the info. Will you†¦let me know if you hear from him?† Andrea smiled again. â€Å"Something tells me you'll hear from him before we do.† I wasn't as confident. Leaving the house was a little tricky since the other girls didn't want me to go, but I managed to escape their adorable clutches at last and make a break for it. I was walking toward my car when a voice said, â€Å"She's sick, you know.† I turned, startled, and saw Brandy standing near a gate that led to their backyard. She had the same sullen look about her she'd had for so long. â€Å"Hey,† I said in greeting. â€Å"Where'd you come from?† â€Å"I was around. I heard you talking to Mom and Dad.† I replayed Brandy's initial words. â€Å"Your mom†¦you mean she's sick, right? I could tell.† â€Å"No, I mean she's really sick. She's really sick, and they won't talk about it.† Brandy gave a nod toward the front door. â€Å"No one else knows. Not even Uncle Seth knows just how sick she is.† A chilly breeze stirred dried leaves around my feet, but it was nothing compared to the cold starting to fill me. â€Å"Just how sick are we talking, Brandy?† Brandy scuffed her feet against the driveway, eyes averted. â€Å"She has ovarian cancer. It's bad†¦but they're still trying to figure out just how bad it is.† â€Å"She was going to the doctor that day I was here,† I recalled aloud. Andrea had been so bright and cheery, I'd assumed something routine was going on. I also realized I hadn't technically been here; I'd seen it in a dream. Fortunately, Brandy was too distracted to notice my slip. â€Å"She's been at the doctor a lot. Dad's missing tons of work. Uncle Seth's helped out sometimes, and I've been babysitting all the time.† I suddenly felt incredibly selfish. I'd been assuming Brandy's moodiness was all over me and Seth breaking up. But that was only a symptom of the larger problem. Her mother was dangerously ill, and every part of her world was destabilizing. Her own life was probably being put on hold to watch her sisters, and even something like her uncle's romantic life could ripple what she'd regarded as the norm. All the constants in her world were disappearing. â€Å"Brandy, I – â€Å" â€Å"I have to go,† she interrupted, heading back toward the gate, face stony. â€Å"Kayla'll be up from her nap soon. I'm supposed to keep an eye on her today.† Brandy disappeared around the corner before I could say anything. I stood there, feeling lost. I didn't know who I felt worse for: Brandy and Terry for knowing what was going on or the little girls for being oblivious. I felt bad enough for myself because there was nothing I could do. There was never anything I could do. I had powers beyond human imaginings, but they were nothing that could actually help humans. I drove downtown with a heavy heart, trying hard – and failing – not to overreact. Brandy herself had said things were bad but that they were still learning the extent of it. Surely there were more tests, tests that would give some hope. And surely there was treatment. Humans could do that much on their own. Jerome was where I'd hoped he'd be. Really, I decided, the Cellar was nearly as good as him having an office. Carter was by his side at the back table, both of them doing shots from a bottle of Jà ¤germeister. Those two didn't discriminate among their liquor. I wondered if they were drinking away the hardships of the other day or toasting their success over it. It must have been the latter because Jerome almost smiled when he saw me. â€Å"Georgie, out among the living and back to your petite self. Yet†¦so blue. Blue like always.† Yes, they'd been drinking. Angels and demons could sober up at will, and he was apparently indulging in the full effects. â€Å"I got some bad news,† I said, sitting opposite them. â€Å"What, about losing Mortensen?† asked Jerome. â€Å"How do you know about that?† â€Å"I talked to Roman. He recapped your day – the old man checking in, you comforting your romantic rival†¦it was quite moving.† I scowled. â€Å"Great. You have Roman spying on me.† â€Å"It's not spying. I just demand answers from him. If it makes you feel better, he's never very happy to give up those answers.† â€Å"How often do you do it?† I asked incredulously. â€Å"Not that often.† A waiter set down a new bottle. â€Å"Mostly I wanted to see how you were recovering post-dream.† â€Å"Fine. I'm fine.† I glanced at Carter. â€Å"No comments from you today?† â€Å"Leave me out of this,† he replied. â€Å"I'm just drinking.† So he said, but he was also watching and listening very carefully. He was not letting the alcohol affect him. I turned back to Jerome. â€Å"I've come to call in my favor.† The dark amusement in his eyes turned to suspicion. â€Å"What favor?† â€Å"The one you promised me for helping save you from Grace, remember?† Yes, no amusement at all anymore. â€Å"I just rescued you from another plane of existence from creatures who were torturing your mind.† I flinched but pushed on with my words. â€Å"You promised a favor, and I didn't call it in for that. Besides, you would have done it anyway so that you wouldn't get in trouble.† â€Å"That favor offer was brought on by the drama at the time,† he countered. â€Å"I probably said all sorts of things.† â€Å"You promised,† I repeated. â€Å"I can understand you just fine without putting italics in your voice, Georgie,† he snapped. â€Å"You did, though,† pointed out Carter. Demons could lie – and did – but certain deals they were bound to. Jerome had said he'd grant me a favor out on the beach, and it had been a true promise. â€Å"Fine,† he said irritably, gesturing for another shot. â€Å"What is it you want? And I don't have to grant it if it's something totally unreasonable.† â€Å"I want to know – â€Å" â€Å"Careful,† interrupted Carter. I paused, and Jerome glared at the angel. Carter offered no other insight, but those gray eyes were still watchful – and cautious. Which was what I needed to be. Jerome had promised me a favor, and like all demons, he would try to find as many loopholes in it as possible. I had been about to ask where Seth was, but that wouldn't necessarily do me any good. I wouldn't be able to get to Seth. â€Å"I want you to send me to Seth so I can spend a few days with him.† Jerome studied me, expression shrewd. â€Å"There's a couple problems. One is that you've kind of asked for two things. The other is that I'm not omniscient. I don't know where he is.† â€Å"You can find out,† I said. â€Å"At least, if he's flown anywhere, you can find out.† Seth packing indicated serious travel. Maddie had said his car was still at the house, meaning he hadn't driven somewhere. If he had, he'd be harder to track. But airports had records, and Hell had its hand in that kind of thing. Jerome could easily get an imp or lesser demon to access Sea-Tac's records this week and see where Seth had gone. I probably could have asked Hugh to do it, but that wouldn't have gotten me leave to actually go to Seth, hence my wording. â€Å"And we both know it'd be stupid for you to send me right there and right back. Asking for a few days makes it worthwhile or else it's a shitty favor.† â€Å"Debatable,† Jerome replied. â€Å"It could be worse,† said Carter. â€Å"She didn't ask for world peace or anything.† â€Å"Stay out of this,† returned the demon. â€Å"I know what you want.† Carter shrugged and ordered another drink. â€Å"Fine,† said Jerome at last. â€Å"I'll have Hugh check travel records. You know there might not be a paper trail.† â€Å"I know. But if you find him?† â€Å"Then you can go to him. For now, go home. You're ruining my good mood. I'll find you if there's news.† I didn't need to be told twice. â€Å"Soon,† I said. â€Å"You have to search soon.† Jerome's lips quirked. â€Å"You didn't put that into the wording.† Carter elbowed him, and I had to take it on faith that Jerome would act in a timely manner. My words had implied that I wanted to be where Seth was now. One could argue that waiting meant Seth would change locations, meaning I couldn't have what I wanted. I also had to believe that Carter had a point in saying this was a relatively easy favor. I could have demanded more. Simple or not, it was hard to wait to hear back. Roman was gone when I returned to my condo, and I had nothing to do but ruminate. I'd given myself a leave of absence at work and didn't regret it. Still, being alone with my thoughts was never a good thing, and I had far too many to trouble me: the Oneroi, Seth, Andrea†¦ â€Å"Okay, Georgie.† It was four hours later when Jerome appeared in my living room with a pop. I sagged in relief. â€Å"You found him?† â€Å"I did.† â€Å"And you'll send me to him – for a worthwhile amount of time?† â€Å"Three days,† the demon said. He sounded irritable and impatient. I'd wondered if he'd been drinking this entire time and was angry at the interruption. â€Å"I want you back here in seventy-two hours, and you're on your own as to how you do it. Do you understand?† â€Å"Yes,† I said eagerly. â€Å"Just send me to him.† I had to talk to him. I had to find out exactly what had happened. I had to make sure he was okay. â€Å"And that settles the favor. Agreed?† â€Å"Agreed,† I said. There was power in that word, just as there had been in Jerome's initial promise. I could ask for nothing else. â€Å"Then go,† he said. I vanished from my living room†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦and reappeared on a busy sidewalk. People swarmed around me, none of them seeming to notice I'd appeared out of thin air. The sun was on its way down, but the sky was bright and clear – and hot. Very hot. The masses around me were dressed in beach clothes and had the feel of tourists. I stepped out of their path and found myself standing in front of a large, resort-type hotel. The abrupt change in location – and discomfort of teleportation – had left me disoriented, and I needed to get my bearings. Taking in more of my surroundings, I could hear people speaking in both Spanish and English. I turned to the closest person near me, a short, deeply tanned man in a hotel uniform who was directing taxis around the building's driveway. I started to ask where I was and decided that would be a little too stupid sounding. I pointed at the hotel and asked him what its name was. I knew tons of languages perfectly, and Spanish rolled off my lips easily. â€Å"El Grande Mazatln, seà ±orita,† he replied. Mazatln? This time, I did ask a stupid question: â€Å" ¿Estoy in M? ¦xico?† He nodded, giving me the are-you-crazy look I'd expected. It was probably made worse by my jaw dropping. Well, I supposed if you were going to run away, you should run away somewhere warm.

The symbols in Chac Mool Free Essay Example, 1000 words

In the story Filbert loses his job because he is believed to have gone insane. For Fuentes, his job represents the influence of European-Christian-bourgeois civilization. â€Å"That influence [of the Chac Mool] frustrates Filbert, who because of it cannot keep his place in the bourgeois economic society† (Wheelock 1980, pp. 430-431). Thus a discourse of Mexican culture and identity is proffered via the character and experience of Filbert. There is also a decidedly psychological meaning and symbolism in the story’s many references to water which serve to both highlight the experiences of Filbert but surely also of Mexico itself. Water is often associated with the unconscious and death, whereas fire and light are associated with consciousness and life. This interpretation is most beholden to the work of Carl Jung. Water is the commonest symbol for the unconscious†¦water is earthly and tangible, it is also the fluid of the instinct-driven body†¦The unconscious is the psyche that reaches down from the daylight of mentally and morally lucid consciousness in the nervous system that for ages has been known as the ‘sympathetic’† (1990, p. We will write a custom essay sample on The symbols in Chac Mool or any topic specifically for you Only $17.96 $11.86/pageorder now 19). Water and the unconscious for that matter pertain to that which is innate and basic. In the course of life, the individual â€Å"lives life† and encounters fire or the conscious mind. In the story Filbert speaks of his youthful wishes and desires and how things ended up later in life. There paraded past me all the years of big dreams, of happy predictions, and also, all the omissions that impeded their realization†¦but the toy chest is being forgotten, and in the long run, who knows where they’ve come to rest, all the tin soldiers, the helmets, the wooden swords†¦The great payback for the adventure of youth must be death. (Fuentes, p.2) The dreams of his youth are related to the desires of his unconscious. Later before he died, Filbert thought of his youthful wishes and what â€Å"impeded their realization. † That of course was his adult life, his job, and thus modern post-1492 culture. As Jung mentioned, water is associated with the unconscious. In the meta-unconscious of Mexican culture, the Mayan pantheon is the â€Å"repressed† religion of ancient Mexico that lies beneath the modern Christian surface. The death of Filbert is preceded by his experiences with Chac Mool, the symbol of the past pre-Columbian religion. It is also important to link Filbert’s delirium as being connected to his unconscious. Thus water, unconscious, delirium, death all interplay.

Lev Vygoskys Socialcultural Theory - 1991 Words

Lev Vygotsky’s Socialcultural Theory Vicky Phillips ECE 101 Lev Vygotsky’s Socialcultural Theory Lev Vygotsky’s Cultural-Historical Theory is the idea that a child’s social environment was a major contributor to how each child developed. In my own experiences in the classroom I see how each child is an individual and how their development is a product of their environment. Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is the concept that having assistance and guidance from others, children can learn tasks that is too difficult for them to do on their own. Scaffolding is an important part of ZPD; it is the support and guidance while learning a new task. Lev Vygotsky was born in Orsha, Belarus in 1986. In 1917 he graduated†¦show more content†¦p 52) An example would be a child pretending to be a firefighter, he has the coat and hat but pretends he has a hose to put the fire out. Multiple role play is when a group of children play supporting their different characters. An example is a group of children pretending to be firefighters, one drives the truck, another gets the hose, and another answers the phone. Clearly defined rules of play are when more than one child wants the same prop but understands they need to wait until the other child is done playing with it. Flexible themes is where children extend their play an example would be if a mom is playing that her baby is sick and she has to take the baby to the hospital and then she has to go to the drug store for the medicine. Language development at a mature level in play is when children use their language to plan and play out their roles with the other children. The length of play is where children extend their play of the same situation for more than one day. Teachers can make their classroom environment where each child can learn at their own maturity level. In early childhood classrooms, the teacher begins the year by screening each child to find what level they are at developmentally. This gives the teacher a beginning point of what each child needs to progr ess their learning. The classroom environment is child friendly with different play areas around the classroom. In each area the teacher has different materials

Sister Carrie Essay Paper Example For Students

Sister Carrie Essay Paper Theodore Dreisers Sister Carrie is a simple tale of a young, pretty eighteen year old girl Caroline Meeber also know as Carrie. When Carrie got on the train from Columbia City to Chicago she had only few cheap items in her trunk and her sisters address on a piece of paper. Being only eighteen she was still full of the illusions of ignorance and youth(Dreiser, 7). She was both afraid of the things to come and exited by the countless possibilities offered by one of the largest cities of the late 19th century Chicago. As soon as Carrie arrives in Chicago various obstacles face her. She has no experience at working outside home, which makes finding any work very difficult. She does not like the simple, and in her view, boring way of life her sister and brother in law live. Being this young and curious woman she yearns for more than what is around her. She has no education, no wealth to fall on and as we read the novel we also discover she has no morals. Even though at some point Dreiser claims that Carrie is the victim of the citys hypnotic influence(Dreiser, 79) it becomes clear that in fact she is not a helpless victim by any means she just simply goes along with anything and anyone who comes along. Tired and disappointed with her early days at a low paying hard work Carrie chooses to leave her sister the only real family she has in the city and goes off with a Drouet, a man she just recently met on the train. Carrie knew nothing about Drouet except that he seemed to like her and appeared to have more money than she could ever got her hands on. When she goes off with him there is no conflict within her, no regrets, no second thoughts. As soon as an opportunity to leave her boring life arrived Carrie took it and never looked back. All she cared about was the fact that now she no longer needed to work long hours for little pay. By becoming Drouets kept woman she no longer had to worry about getting comfortable clothing, good meal and money. People knew her as Mrs. Drouet and she liked it. Through Drouet Carrie met her next man Hurstwood, a manager at Fitzgerald and Moy. Carrie flirted and spend time with him without giving it a second thought. It did not bother her that Hurstwood was twice her age in fact he was old enough to be her father. She never stopped to think that someone of his position, and in her eyes he was definitely much higher on a social scale than Drouet, might be married, have a family, responsibilities and obligations to them as well as to others. To Carrie Hurstwood seemed drag in the direction of honor(Dreiser, 128), but how would she know what honor was and what it meant? She had none otherwise she would never leave her family to become a kept woman and soon after that a home wrecker. Hurstwood left his wife, children and respectable job to carry on his affair with Carrie. He even stole from his longtime employers to be with Carrie. In return she dumped him when he proved to be of no use to her in the quest for the better life. As Dreiser observed Carrie wanted pleasure, she wanted position, and yet she was confused as to what these things might be(Dreiser, 139). Even years later when she became a famous and popular New York actress she still did not possess what she desired. People admired her, she was paid very well, and yet there was always something missing. She never got married not to Drouet, not to Hurstwood; she just used them both to get ahead without even realizing that what she was doing was wrong and immoral. Instead she believed they did her wrong. .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 , .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .postImageUrl , .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 , .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:hover , .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:visited , .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:active { border:0!important; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:active , .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376 .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u3adb8eb571c6971986a59055eaa51376:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Restoring Happiness Essay Therefore Carrie expressed no feelings of shame, regret, guilt or remorse for hurting Drouet and leading Hurstwood towards his lonely death in a strange city among strangers.

Title IX Analysis Essay Example For Students

Title IX Analysis Essay The topic of Title IX is something that often receives a great deal of attention in the news and has the involvement of many people. One organization that holds strong interests regarding Title IX is a womans organization called NOW. NOW, has published several articles regarding the issue of Title IX and often holds very strong views in favor of strengthening this law. In the article, Save Title IX, NOW discusses the advantages of Title IX and some of the things they feel still need to be done to complete these ideas. For every one dollar spent on a womans athletics, three dollars are spent on mens programs. It is through using statements like these that Save Title IX helps deliver its point across to the reader that Title IX is still in the process of being instituted. There are several other statistics in which the author uses to prove their point. The author refers to numbers that were the case before Title IX was instated and the remarkable increase in the numbers in todays society, which is caused by the founding of Title IX. We will write a custom essay on Title IX Analysis specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now NOW organizations articles tend to be written for what appears to be a middle aged woman who is interested in keeping the ideas of Title IX practiced across the country. Often, the author refers to a statement or belief as we; or weve; assuming that the reader agrees with these ideas. Also, the author uses the word women fifteen times in her essay to get across the point that this issue is greatly affecting women in todays society. One area in which I felt there was a logical fallacy in the writing was from a reference to President George W. Bush Jr.. The author states that the Bush administrations department of education is taking steps to reintroduce segregation through sex rather than race. After, the article mentions that this is because they would like to allow the possibility of establishing single-sex classes for schools at elementary and secondary levels. When stating that the Bush administration is attempting to reintroduce segregation, her claim seems rather unfair and bias ed. One thing that this essay lacks is that the author fails to address any opposing views. This essay is strictly was written for a specific audience and therefore I feel that there was not a strong need for apposing arguments. However, if someone feels differently than this author, their views would be left unanswered and this article would most likely have no effect on the reader. While I feel that this article is a very strong argument in favor of keeping as well as strengthening the power of Title IX, I find that it is lacking the fundamental elements that are necessary in a persuasive essay. I do think that Save Title IX does a good job appealing to the audience that it is directed towards and can be used to reaffirm peoples feelings if they are in agreement with the author.
