...Did you know people lie 100 times a day! For example, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, there are lies that cost many innocent people. Especially in the salem witch trials. Some of these lies that were told were because of vengence. Lying comes at a cost because Elizabeth Proctor got her husband hanged, Abigail Williams got most the people accused and killed in salem, Samuel Parris and Thomas Putnam lie but there's not much effect on what they lied about. First off, Elizabeth Proctor is a holy women, but when she told a lie to show that John Proctor is a good man, it lead to having her husband being condemned and then hanged. She has never lied before and she has always been a christian women. However, this is one of the reasons why lying is dangerous, “I come to think he fancied her. And so one night I lost my wits, I think, and put her out on the highroad,”(190). In this quote Elizabeth says that abigail and proctor never had an affair but that clearly happened. Then Proctor tells her that he told the judges and Elizabeth’s heart drops and realizes that she had made a mistake....

...the ignorance we see on social media and it is not heading in the direction of righteousness. In the essay “Advice to Youth” by Mark Twain, he offers some seemly good advice to the young people. The advice he offers is that “all young people are given rules or advice to guide them as they grow up and to keep them on the right path to live a good life”. Mark Twain states “Always obey your parents, when they are present”. Yes, you should obey your parents, but if they are not present, you cannot solely rely on their standing orders to make the best decision. Of course you should be respectful to your superiors, but if those same people are not respectful to you then you cannot be expected to continue the gesture of being respectful towards them. With a statement like that, society presumes children are more likely to have behavior problems because they would not believe in showing respect toward their elders. If Mark Twain was serious then I would have to say this is some the worst advice I have ever read. The worst thing a child can do is disobey their parents. There is a reason a parent is a parent and that is because they have their child’s best interest in mind to lead them down the right path. Another piece of advice he mentions is “go to bed early, get up early”, which is a wise...

...In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor is accused of witchcraft which later in the book caused his death. The book is about how in Salem the false accusations witchcraft is frowned upon which resulted in the deaths of the many innocent people. John Proctor’s life throughout the book relates to Arthur Miller real life in many ways. Arthor Miller explains how Marilyn Monroe had made a big impact on his life and how he’s in love. His situation in all this is that he was basically having an affair with Marilyn even though he had a wife. His actions were that he left his wife for Marilyn and his beliefs are that he realized he was doing wrong. In The Crucible, John Proctor is similar to him in a way by how he had an affair with...

...The Crucible I grew up around a friend group that was always there for eachother. Our parents were good friends with their parents and they would all come over for big sport games. As we all got older we grew closer together and we all basically became each others brothers. One day we were shocked about what had happened. As our friend Aaron was playing baseball he fell to the ground while playing shortstop. They rushed him to a hospital and begun to do tests. Once the tests results were in he was diagnosed with cancer. Reading the book The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, I realized there were many characters that reminded me of Aaron. Because Aaron is a really good guy who had something horrible happen to him. Just like many characters in The Crucible such as; John Proctor, Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor. These were all good people that had horrible things happen to them. John Proctor was a good man in the town where these trials took place. He took care of his wife when she was very sick. Despite having some flaws such as cheating on his wife during the time she was sick. But there is many things that made him a great man like when he was trying to get the truth out about Abigail lying to get people accused of witchcraft. “You will tell the court how that poppet come here and who stuck the needle in.” (pg...

...greater influence than ever. For the sake of this paper I would like to focus on how music and television affect gender diversity. When a new song is released, depending on public opinion, the record could sell thousands of copies and as a result be played on the radio several times a day reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners. Unless parents have the ability to strictly monitor all of their children’s music choices and I don’t know many who do, the young people today are hearing all sorts of gender messages through music that may be subconsciously shaping who they are. Even though there are many different genres of music I am going to focus on the rap culture and the messages they emit. Many of the rap songs portray women as weak and submissive. Several of the songs include violence against women whether it is sexual, mental or domestic which displays an overall lack of respect for females. While at the same time the man is portrayed as strong, wealthy and powerful and overall domineering of the woman. Rarely in rap music, is there a song that paints a picture of the woman having power over the man. The first song that came to mind when given this assignment was Eminem Love The Way You Lie featuring Rihanna. The song received 5 Grammy nominations and was number one on 26 weekly record charts including Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks. The single sold more than 5 million copies in the United States alone. I remember hearing the song for the first time when my, at...

...he was involved, the liking and the loving. He starts his article out by being overly obsessive about his BlackBerry Bold cell phone. I would say that he was being sarcastic. Jonathan Franzen talks about how humans use technology to replace the “bad things” in life. He appeals to his readers through pathos. He tries to speak to our feelings by saying “We can handle being disliked now and then, because there’s such an infinitely big pool of potential likers. But to expose your whole self, not just the likable surface, and to have it rejected, can be catastrophically painful.” He claims people are having a relationship to their cell phone or other technological devices. Through this essay Jonathan Franzen builds up an instance by using arguments saying we do not appreciate the physical world enough. Jonathan Franzen is using examples from his own life, how he did not appreciate it before he got his interest in birds. He means many people use technology as a replacement for something more and they do not realize it until it is all they have left to hold on to. Technology has evolved so much. Our devices will do what we want, when we want them to. They will never talk back or say mean things to us. Jonathan Franzen implies that “liking” something on Facebook is so much easier to do than to truly like something. He talks about how people like a lot of things and take away the meaning or purpose of loving something. Jonathan Franzen states that when people try to be so likable...

...illnesses in young children so that it can be treated at an early stage. Along with this comes a background check; however, I believe that the Congress has rejected it in recent months. The plan is great, but it will be hard to pass because of the amount of money that the federal government will have to invest in. Another factor that will be considered is whether or not the majority is republican or democrat (which is a lot of the reasons the house can’t agree on anything). Politics play a huge role with the decision-making. Improving Things/ Inventing or Redefining a Concept The whole issue with gun control shouldn’t be that complicated. Obama has a great plan for it, which includes Mental Illness Awareness. Some people may view this as big government when the feds are trying to set out more strict laws about owning. This makes perfect sense because there is much improvement when it comes to owners of a gun. Too many people are allowed to use a gun, and too many times other people have been hurt in the process. The article expresses that there have been 82 people who were killed in large-scale shootings since 2007 (and this was an article written on January 2013). We need to improve the qualifications a person needs in order to own a gun and a device that can help testify to their qualifications. An advanced lie detector would be the best thing. Of course, lie detectors aren’t completely accurate and there are loopholes. If those things were to be improved then we’d be able to...

...IT users and common ethical issues they face. This lab will help me with any future issues I may come across during my career whether it be with other employees in the company I work for or peers that are in facing an issue that goes against the IT professional codes of ethics. Part One: “What Would You Do?” – Situation 1 Even though my relationship with my old roommate is important to me, I would not be able to put in a good word or get his resume into the “right hands.” I would be lying at my job (a place that I worked hard to even get into) and that could get me into a lot of trouble if the company realized that he does not actually have the knowledge he says he does. Here’s exactly what happened. My old college roommate got let go from his job and has asked me to help him become an employee at the company I work for. I told him that I have no problem putting in a good word and getting his resume in the “right hands” but then I saw his resume. The problem is that he greatly exaggerated pretty much everything single thing on his resume and expects me to not tell my boss that he actually does not have the knowledge he says he does so that he could get the job. There are a lot of people who can be put into harms way if I were to lie for my old college roommate. Those who are directly affected by this problem include me, my old roommate from college, the entire company I work for, my coworkers, and my boss. This problem would cause a lot of issues at my workplace...

...Angelology and Satanology Ethical Dualism means that there are two mutual hostile forces of beings in the world, one being the source of all that is good, the other the source of all evil. There were two challenges of Satan that is recorded in Genesis 3 and Matthew 4. There was the temptation of Adam and Eve and also Jesus the son of God. Out of these two challenges the rewards of success would be great for Satan. The results of Eve’s sin were great and gave a big victory for Satan. Satan approached Jesus through the same three avenues of temptation as he approached Eve. (Matt. 4: 3; 5, 6; 8, 9). Satan was unsuccessful this time. God is the only eternal self-existent being that we read about which is represented in the Bible. Satan is not self-existent so he had to have a point of origin. God created Satan as a leading Angel who later wanted to become more powerful than God himself. Satan wanted to be worshipped. When reading the Chapter Ezekiel from the Bible it reveals more about a "king" who is obviously Lucifer. God did not create evil however he does reward and punishes according to our obedience. God created his angels and appointed arch angels who were highest of all angels. Since the arch angel had such high power they believed they could overpower God and went against God. The high power angel thought he could persuade Gods people into his world. Punishment came upon the angel and he was considered a fallen angel (Satan). God is the Father of all spirits including...

...He had to choose whether he wanted to confess to a lie of witchcraft and keep his life, or to die and not have his name said in vain. He was given an opportunity to speak to his wife before his hanging, to possibly change his mind about not confessing by Danforth. Elizabeth is very pregnant and he thought that maybe she could possibly persuade John to confess and possibly save his life. When they meet, they talk about the unborn baby, the death of Giles Corey and the people who confessed and going to be persecuted. John asks her what she thinks he should do in this situation, and she exclaims that she wants him alive. After a few words, Proctor says, “I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It is a fraud. I am not that man… My honesty is broke, Elizabeth; I am no good man. Nothing’s spoiled by giving them this lie that were not rotten long before” (126). He decides to confess to the lie and sign the document, but when Danforth goes to take the signed letter from Proctor and he doesn’t give it to him, while in fury and very hysterical, he tears it into pieces. He then is sentenced to be hanged the next morning. The Crucible was series of many accusations, charades and lies. John Proctor, out of all the characters...

...Deontology comes from the Greek work for obligation or duty. (Mosser, 2013) Deontology sits in the normative category because it ignores the acts consequences while justifying if the act is good, bad, right, wrong or stays neutral. Deontology focuses on the duty and obligation you have to act in the right manner and not focus on the consequence of your action. According to deontology those that are in danger of loss of life they should not pull the plug or remove ones self from life support equipment because the morality of the decision will be judged on the morality of the action not the consequence. When applying deontology end of life medical issues then there is only a right or a wrong action, there is no middle ground. Removal of life support is therefore either right or wrong. Absolute deontologists would sat that a good way to look at this act would be to not focus on intentions or consequences but instead only focus on the act itself. The act of terminating life support or pulling the plug and euthanasia ends a life. Ending a life is called murder whether it was voluntary or not. It is the act that is judged not the intentions or consequence. If a person tries to end their own life via whatever means they choose is still murder but its called suicide. Murder and suicide and even attempted suicide are all bad words that have no good things stemming from them no matter how you could twist the definition. These words are considered bad because they are and it takes...

...March Madness of college basketball on their channel. The Bowl Championship series of college football also signed a $125 million dollar deal with ESPN (Ford 1). Depending on how deep of a run you make in March Madness or a big win in a highly anticipated BCS bowl game, teams could potentially bring in millions of dollars to their university. But the men and women who are the ones on the field putting their body and wellbeing on the line are the same ones who see absolutely none of that money. How can this even be possible? College athletes, who put in just as much time if not more than an actual job, receive no type of money for the amount of revenue that they bring in. Sure they get an athletic scholarship that pays for most of their schooling but, not for everything outside of that. There is more to college than just books and schoolwork. People still need to buy food, pay bills, gas, and just everyday essentials. When writer William J. Ford asked senior guard Gary Clark from Wake Forest University about the topic he said “At a lot of schools, players come from underprivileged families. I know we are getting a scholarship, but some folks don’t have cash to get something to eat when the school cafeteria is closed, or money to buy a used car,” he continues. “I am not saying we should get paid with a full-time salary, but a stipend would be nice” (Ford 1). Just recently former Tennessee running back Arian Foster revealed to the public about how he received a little money while...

...000291470 Intro to Ethics. My Moral Theory To begin to create my own moral or ethical theory, I really had to look into myself and figure out my morals. In addition I had to study and read the theories in our book to truly understand ethics and morals to create my own. My moral or ethical theory is a hybrid of sorts. It is based off of the theories we have studied this summer. It could also be something that stands on its own. When I think of ethical theories I always go back to Kant. His core ideas are slightly how I live my life. My morals stand on respect for life, like Kant, but a little broader. Another I could pull off of was the chapter we had on virtue ethics. I am a big believer in virtues and how they make life better, I tend to also call them my morals. Some of these morals or virtues, would be charity, compassion, accountability, faith and forgiveness. I also like to add in some feminism because I am a big proponent of equality in the sexes. I also live my life as though all persons or beings who have emotions, who can make decisions and such, are just as important as myself. The more I think about morals I keep going back to my number one, which is faith. When looking at faith I first think of religion, which is a very important thing to me. If something goes against what I believe in religion wise, nothing will shake that. When I also thing of faith though, I think of the virtue, having faith in humanity. We truly need to have faith in humanity in order to...

...Pathological lying is becoming an epidemic, which is requiring a need for recognizing the problem, as being a pathological liar is a danger to one’s self or to others. There are several different kinds of liars: there are ordinary liars, compulsive liars, and pathological liars. An ordinary liar is the everyday person that tells a little white lie to avoid consequences or just to add exaggeration. For example, I asked my six year old brother, Isaiah, if he ate the doughnuts that I had in my room, and his immediate answer was no, even though I could see the white powder around his lips. Thinking he would get in trouble, Isaiah lied to avoid consequences. Compulsive liars are people who lie because it is a habit. They lie to avoid the truth, which may be uncomfortable to them. Low self-esteem is a big factor in being a compulsive liar. My cousin Cindy is an example of a compulsive liar. Back when I was living in Chicago, Illinois, there was a theme park call “Six Flags.” A new ride, Superman, had just come out that day; I asked Cindy to come with me to try out the new ride, and her response was she had already been on the ride several times. I asked Cindy how she could have road the ride several times if it just opened today, and she then said that she had ridden it...
