...can help people act bolder then he/she may normally want too. Ethical theories are being used more and more to help the professional and computing world handle the rapid change while government and legislation try to catch up. Law and guidelines have been made, but in the haste to create them many are poorly designed and implemented, hurting people that have seemed to do nothing wrong. Information technology is a global profession and increases the difficulty when dealing with different scenarios. Presented with the same scenario an IT professional in Japan may handle it completely different than another professional in the USA. Setting standards and ideals for all computing professionals is key to the continuing growth of information technology. Legal and Ethical Issues The computing professional faces legal and ethical issues in information technology every day. Many of the biggest issues that IT professionals face include the ever growing concern with piracy and ownership of information. Current laws and regulations allow software and intellectual property to be coved by both copyrights and patents. However the bigger concern is how software does not fit into either role. Software patents are becoming more common, they are still a highly unreliable way to protect software. Patents are very expensive to obtain and software at the basic level is easy to develop, secondly patents are still regarded as protection for tangible inventions, where software is viewed more...

...Cloning Mirroring the World: The Aspects of Human Cloning Looking into a mirror presents an image that is strikingly similar to your own, but what if this image could come to life. Through extensive research, scientists have discovered a way to create life through a process called cloning. Cloning can simply be described by making an exact copy of an object. No one would have ever thought science could reach a level in history where you can actually make an exact duplicate of any organism. With such a large hype over this new discovery, there have many opposing arguments that carried along through the years with the research. Growing circulations have revolved around this issue creating a question asking, “Has Genetic Engineering gone too far?” Trial and error is the key concept in cloning, which follows suit through its complicated process, complications, and alternatives that will together to give us a sneak preview of the future ahead of us. A Step into the Process Cloning can be done in a few methods to create new life. The most common type of cloning is known as “somatic cell nuclear transfer.” In English, the method is basically saying that someone takes the DNA from the clone and DNA from the unfertilized egg and fuses the cells together to create the exact copy. This is one way to create a clone; the other involves the egg of the female species being copied. The scientist then extracts the donor’s genes from the egg and places the cell of the genetic donor...

...care, avoiding mistakes so that there's no confusion about what we're saying and so that we look professional and reasonably bright. In general, we can slip up in a verbal conversation and get away with it. A colleague may be thinking, Did she just say "irregardless"?, but the words flow on, and our worst transgressions are carried away and with luck, forgotten. That's not the case with written communications. When we commit a grammatical crime in e-mails, discussion posts, reports, memos, and other professional documents, there's no going back. We've just officially gone on record as being careless or clueless. And here's the worst thing. It's not necessary to be an editor or a language whiz or a spelling bee triathlete to spot such mistakes. They have a way of doing a little wiggle dance on the screen and then reaching out to grab the reader by the throat. So here we are in the era of Word's red-underline "wrong spelling, dumb ass" feature and Outlook's Always Check Spelling Before Sending option, and still the mistakes proliferate. Catching typos is easy (although not everyone does it). It's the other stuff -- correctly spelled but incorrectly wielded -- that sneaks through and makes us look stupid.

It began to dawn on me why all those kids in Colorado could go on and on about how "normal" Eric Hanis and Dylan Klebold were. I began to appreciate why the auth01ities might find it hard to pick out any further suspects from a student body whose poetic sensibility is suffused with the metaphors of blood lust. (Al though if "assassination games" were played in the inner city, I wonder whether those same authorities wouldn't have cordoned off entire neighborhoods-remember the 3,000 policemen who showed up for Khallid Muhammad's Million Youth March in Harlem? I suspect they'd have gone door to door strip-searching anyone who blinked the wrong way. I think of the long, tragic history of what happens to minority kids who wave toy guns in public.

...property right to the inventor in exchange for public disclosure of the invention. In order to qualify for a patent, an invention must be novel, useful and non-obvious. A registered patent can be used to raise funds for business, licensed or sell the invention. A copyright protects works of authorship, the specific creative expression of an idea through any medium of artistic expression that has been tangibly expressed. Copyright provides licensing fee and royalty payments. Copyright’s filing fee is small, registration period is relatively short, and the examination process is administrative. For trademark, the filing fee is much higher with a longer registration period, and an adversarial examination process. Registration and filling are desirable but not requite for both copyright and trademark, however it is a necessary step for issue patent. Both Copyrights and patents are under federal law while trademark laws differ in each state. There is also a federal trademark law. Once a work is created, it is under copyright protection, but registration is still necessary for protection defending. Trademarks and patents exist only when you register them and received approval. The expiry term also varies. The duration of copyrights varies, but normally one can last for the creator’s lifetime plus another seventy years. A patent will last for twenty years after the filling data....

...Mr. Hoeben ENG 102 10 December 2013 The Failed American Dream: Analysis of Death of a Salesman A tragedy play is a source of drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to extreme suffer or sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with lack of approval or support. Arthur Miller’s tragedy play, Death of a Salesman can be viewed as a urology of a man who was a constant dreamer, which represents his life and tragic death as he tries to fulfill his visions of having the American Dream. American tragedy explores the great myths that govern a society by examining the lives of its most ordinary citizens. Miller vividly expresses ideas throughout his play by demonstrating a changing society. Also, reading Death of a Salesman allows the play to be psychologically viewed as one man’s journey from shame and his own lack of self-confidence. Arthur Miller portrays Willy, his family, and other characters situation by the use of symbolism and themes, he accurately puts into words what every human being thinks, feels, and worries about, but often has trouble expressing. The lead character is Willy Loman, a failing door-to-door salesman coming to the end of his life but doggedly holding on to lost dreams. In the beginning of the play, we see Willy returning home to his wife Linda after almost crashing his car. Linda begins to worry about her husband and fears what may happen in the future. We soon learn why Willy is unable...

There are a lot of times where I completely forget if I have already taken my birth control and I do not want to get pregnant again, so I will sometimes tell him, “no” until I can find out what I did or did not do. I just feel like being skeptical can ultimately help with a lot of things. I was skeptical in high school as well, I lost my virginity when I was 19 because I was always wondering, and “does he have a condom? Would he actually put it on or lie to me?” There were always all these questions running through my mind and I feel like because of them, they saved me from a lot of things that could have gone wrong. I just needed to know what was actually...

...employer -- on paper. Now it is time to impress them face-to-face, and that means bringing your A game, or maybe your A+ game. Preparing for the interview is the very first step in the right direction towards success. Bringing your résumé and references are safe starting points, but you may not realize that there are other tools that will help you stand out. So what should job seekers bring to an interview, exactly? Here are five things that can make a difference in today's job market. 1. The "Brag Book" Scott Brent, a surgical sales representative and interviewing expert believes that the age of strict résumé and references are gone and job seekers should look to other outlets when impressing an interviewer. "Traditionally, people going on an interview would bring only a résumé and themselves to the interview," Brent says. "Those days are gone. I don't care if you are interviewing for a C-suite level job (CEO, CFO) or a job at McDonald's, what you bring to your interview is crucial. In my industry, it is called a 'brag book.' This is the most important thing you can bring to your interview. Basically this is a book you put together showcasing all of the accomplishments in your career." The "brag book" is meant to be left behind for the employers so they can remember you. In the folder, a job seeker can...
