...the past Marty didn’t know anything about the fair of his wife. But after the first few pictures taken by Visser, his anger came out and he started his revenge and got involved in this nightmare. The fake picture of Abby and Ray dead in the bed also misleads Marty. When Marty was about to give Visser the money, Visser shot Marty. And Visser throw Abby’s gun in the room to create a misleading scene. These things start with the fake picture. And as Visser says, “life is very uncertain and something can always go wrong.” The appearance of the fake pictures is the moment that life goes wrong for Marty. Marty’s life was totally changed because of this fake picture. He wanted to kill Ray and his unfaithful wife, but instead he is the first one who was shot and got buried alive. Because of the photos, a series of misunderstandings begin. Ray thought Abby killed Marty and Abby thought Visser was Marty and killed him. All the twists start from these photos. Everybody was confused after this. Nobody in the movie truly knows what was happening to everybody. Even Visser, who thinks he knows everything, was also confused at the end. The photos are fake, and this tells us that everything can happen because of money. The photos can be faked, and also the relationship and everything valuable in the world can be faked and changed because of money. The photos triggered the twists and misleading in this movie. 2) RAISING ARAZONA: The Baby is the thing that everybody wants. The baby is...

...The grandmother focuses of showing that she cares nothing about the family by concerning herself with her hat. She builds a setting in her head that if she dies she will look like a lady without any concern for her family's well being. This idea that her hat, which makes her look like a lady in her mind, is more important than her family shows selfishness. Her mistaken ethics are aware from the beginning as the hat is the symbol for this negligence to her family. When they did indeed have a car wreck the grandmother was curled up under the dashboard with her hat still attached to her head. The hat represents that goal of still being a lady no matter the cost. While her grand children are in shock and shaking she is complaining that she thinks she has a hurt organ. The symbol of the brim of her hat smashed as she says “But nobody’s killed” in a frustrated tone shows her reluctance to give up that she was wrong. She will not give up this attempt at being a lady no matter what happens to her or grand children. As she confronts the Misfit her self assurance and idea that she is a lady slowly disintegrates away as she becomes more humble that she will most likely die. The symbolism of these disintegration is when her brim actually falls off of her hat and it realization that she is not a lady by any means. The symbolism of the hat to her concept of doing anything by any means necessary to be a considered a lady by everyone including herself is quite obvious and a good example of things...

...inspiration from the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 B. C.). In Th e Nicomachean Ethics he explored the nature of a good life. He thought that the goal of life is happiness. Th is is not happiness in a hedonistic sense. Instead, happiness, for Aristotle, is an activity of the soul. We fulfi ll our goal of being happy by living a virtuous life, a life in accordance with reason. Now, virtue is a character of the soul that is demonstrated only in voluntary actions (i.e., in acts that are freely chosen after deliberation). So, we become virtuous by regularly performing virtues acts. But Aristotle also felt that there is a need for ethical education so that people will know what acts are virtuous. Aristotle thought that we can understand and identify virtues by arranging human characteristics in triads, with the two extremes being vices and the middle one being a virtue. For Aristotle, courage is the mean between cowardice and rashness; temperance is between self-indulgence and insensibility. Th e other virtues of pride, ambition, good temper, friendliness, truthfulness, ready wit, shame, and justice can similarly be seen as the middle way between two vices. Virtue is the golden mean. Th is is not an arithmetic mean, but rather a path between extremes positions that would vary depending upon the circumstances. You need to use your reasoning to identify the mean in each ethical situation, and you become better at doing this with experience, by acting virtuously. Practice makes perfect...

...says to Mr. Spencer, he feels trapped on “the other side” of life, and he continually attempts to find himself in the world, even though he feels as if he does not belong. As the novel continues, it becomes transparent that Holden’s alienation is his way of protecting himself, as stated, “The way I wore it, I swung the old peak way around to the back, very corny…I liked the way it looked” (Sallinger, 18). He wears his hunting hat to emphasize his uniqueness, he uses his isolation as proof that he thinks he is better than everyone else around him. This means they are not “worthy” of interacting with him. The reality is, interactions with other people usually overwhelm Holden severely,...

...Pomemon Institute states that 83 percent of multinational companies feel that within the past 12 months they have been a target of a cybercrime. Price Water House Coopers states that the number of businesses having a security breach is more along the lines of 92 percent. Cybercrimes are attacks on computer hardware and software, downloading illegal movies and music, online fraud involving financial crimes and corruption with an organization, crimes against children and the elderly, cyber bullying and fraudulent telemarketing events for charitable donations. What was once something only “hackers” did is now something anyone can do. The term hacker was originally described as “any technical effort to manipulate the normal behavior of network connections and connected systems.” The managing director of Accenture’s security practice, Alastair MacWillson, notes that hackers have changed a lot over the past decade. What was a crime with little to no victimization simply to prove their worth and ability has now become a crime whereas there are many different types of victims. Some...

...Symbols in The Catcher in the Rye include Allie’s baseball mitt and Holden’s red hunting hat, while symbols in Into the Wild include mountains and the burning of money. Also, the titles of the works these characters appear in, (The Catcher in the Rye and Into the Wild) represent something deeper than they seem. By choosing to portray the work with a title yet to be understood until the work is observed, the audience becomes intrigued. What does the title mean? Is this a reference to baseball? Does this movie relate to nature? In order to find out, the individual must indulge and discover the true meaning for...

...in Catcher in the Rye are Holden's red hunting hat, the graffiti on the wall in the school, and the ducks in the lagoon. One of the most important symbols in the book is Holden’s red hunting hat. Holden has a hat, it is very unique and it represents his individuality and the want to be different. It is also red and that's the color of Phoebes and Allies hair, and he puts them a pedestal. “People with red hair are supposed to get mad very easily, but Allie never did, and he had very red hair(Salinger pg 43).” Holden is telling the reader that Allie has read hair and that he never got mad. Holden is putting Allie again on a pedestal it is very unlikely that a child didn't get mad at something, even if it was a small temper tantrum. “But it was freezing cold, and I took my red hunting hat out of my pocket and put it...

...learning by explaining about the differences between the critical thinking and creative thinking. Critical thinking is a cognitive activity-associated with using the mind and basically is using by the left brain, while creative thinking is using by the right brain. Being the type of person that likes to read about any argument or debate about some matter especially when it comes to economics and politics, I can confidently say that critical thinking is the most important subject I’ve ever offered in my academic life. My abilities to recognize technique used to make certain position more appealing, reflecting an issue in a structured manner, drawing conclusion, synthesizing information and presenting a point of view were a complete joke. Having all these disabilities, I believe critical thinking, as a subject, is the best thing has happened to my academic life. I intend to attentively to study this subject and allow it to have an impact on my academic and social life. Week 2: The Basic Structure of Argument During week 2, I’ve learned about the basic structure of an argument. Argument can be simply defined as a series of statements used to persuade someone of something. There are two main components in argument, which are the premise and the conclusion. We also learned about proposition. Proposition is a declarity and it can be either true or false. We also have been taught about statement: how to qualify a sentence as a statement and how to declare and how to determine...

...establishment of a Walgreens on the small island of Kava. The technique we will be using to analyze the situation is the “Six Thinking Hats” or the “de Bono Hats System”. As stated by Wikipedia (2009), S.T.H “is a thinking tool for group discussion and individual thinking. Combined with the idea of parallel thinking which is associated with it, it provides a means for groups to think together more effectively, and a means to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way.” In the article Six Thinking Hats: Looking at a Decision from All Points of View the author explained “Six thinking hats is a powerful technique that helps to look at important decisions from a number of different perspectives” (2008). He goes on to say “It helps to make better decision by pushing one to move outside their habitual ways of thinking. It helps to understand the full complexity of the decision, and spot issues and opportunities to which one might otherwise be blind” (U.K.A., 2008). When using this particular problem solving technique it makes it possible for one to solve problems and analyze scenarios from multiple approaches. We will now look at the Decisions in Paradise scenario using the “Six Thinking Hats” approach. White Hat/ Hat #1: “With this thinking hat, you focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them. This is where you...

...What is Art? One man’s trash may be another man’s treasure, but does this same rule apply to art? Among other things, art entices beauty through visual appeal, depth, technique and intent, and as no one person is guaranteed to see the same things as another, this can make it difficult to discern what is art, and what is not. Art is personal, but what separates the average man’s stick figure from world-renowned works comes from the artist’s intent and technique, ultimately leaving a lasting impression on its viewers, and my definition. Art: A creation that through technique and intent leaves a lasting impression on its viewers. First of all, the artist must have intent, a vision, and not just a superficial vision, but one that strives to inspire viewers and prompt questions. This comes from inspiration, and the creator’s drive to create something more than just an “object”. The Piss Christ, for instance, prompted uproar due to its content. At first glance, the picture is visually appealing, but upon further evaluation, it would seem that Jesus Christ is engulfed in what would appear to be urine, prompting questions as to the intent of artist Andres Serrano. What was he trying to say by his depiction? Was it that he is associating religion, and the idea of Christ with urine? Or was it a pessimistic world view in that we are dishonoring Christ’s sacrifice, hence the urine? Without the creator’s own take own his creation, it would appear that both could be viable explanations...

...Writing Prompt #2 Option 4 A Case of Racism Good morning people of the jury. What if I told you, you aren’t aloud to have dreams? What if I told you that your goals aren’t prudent and that you will have to settle for less? What if I told you that as a child you would be stripped of all your aspirations and that you would never amount to the capabilities of your peers? Finally what if I told you that the reason why you cannot have these dreams and why your goals aren’t prudent and why you will never amount to your peers are because of your skin color. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury what if I told you that in your academic career you would be a victim to racism. If I held a position where I influence you, logically everything I say or do can have a dramatic impact on your life. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury what if I said to a student, “You’ve got to be realistic… A lawyer is no realistic goal…”(Mascot pg. 34). As a man in a position of high regard, and a role model and mentor these words are profoundly discouraging. Although, the student triumphs over their peers academically, for some reason this student does not suit my standards. These are words of advice Mr. Ostrowski had given to a young Malcolm X. Malcolm had the highest grades in his class, But Mr. Ostrowski belittled him but not his peers. Malcolm stated that the students, “All reported that Mr. Ostrowski had encouraged what they had wanted, yet nearly none of them had earned marks equal” (Mascot, pg. 34) to...

...White hat hackers are the ethical, legal hackers (2002). Companies pay them to find holes in software or networks and fix the problems. The difference between white hat hackers and black hat hackers is that white hats have permission to carry out their attacks on a company to fix the problems. (2) A majority of company owners say that white hat protection is the only true way to ensue security in their businesses. White hats use the same programs and knowledge as black hats do. They usually stay in the cyber underworld to keep updated on attacks and information. Black hat hackers are the most rare and elite of all the hacker groups. Most are connected with criminal activities, such as espionage. (2001) Not all hackers labeled black hat hackers are connected with criminal activities in real life. There are many "old school" hackers considered black hat. They are the ones that are usually from the 1960's and use the word hacker with honor and freedom. (Quinter 2) Most of these hackers do not have a negative intent they are usually programs from Stanford or MIT. They have good ethics and believe in open source and fixing flaws in programming. Most black hat hackers are criminals and are very powerful. (Glenn 8) Political and personal revenge is a major motivating factor in becoming a true black hat hacker, but the most elite hackers go for the money. Industrial espionage is one of the best paid jobs for a hacker. A typical espionage attacks takes about three weeks and they...

...want to improve your thinking, ask better questions. Using these techniques will improve your thinking, by improving your questions. 3 Thinking Techniques Here are 3 thinking techniques I use fairly regularly: * How Might That Be True? * PMI * Six Thinking Hats How Might That Be True When you hear something new, or information that conflicts with what you think you already know, ask yourself, "how might that be true?" This simple question will open your curiosity. It can also help you build rapport. This second point is especially important. If you’re quick to prove people wrong, people won’t share information with you. Rather than fight somebody on a point, right from the start, you can help them explore the point. You don’t have to agree. Instead, you’re exploring possibility. Sometimes people have good information or knowledge, but it’s generalized so it appears to be wrong, but there’s kernels of truth or insight. PMI I think of PMI as Edward de Bono’s simplified version of Six Thinking Hats. PMI is simply Plus Points, Minus Points, and Interesting Points. Basically, all you do is ask yourself: 1. What are the plus points? 2. What are the minus points? 3. What are the interesting points? This helps you expand your thinking. Notice how the plus points are first. This helps find the good first, before shutting it...
