...much control the government has over people and how much he spies on them and how suspicious he is of everyone. An important piece of evidence in this is when the government sends a mechanical dog to spy on people who are suspected of having books. This is seen on page 114 “He turned around and saw the mechanical hound there”. This is proof that the government uses more than just humans to spy on people and that people don't know when they are being spied on. So they have to be really cautious. I think...

...the NSA spying through social media, phones and all sorts of stuff, we heard of this because of Edward Snowden, an ex CIA- system analyst. He exposed their spying and this has resulted in to a global issue. Because the spying is wrong on so many levels we are here to convince you that what the NSA is doing is wrong. *attention grabber* So now that I have your attention I will continue. Main Point 1: How is it possible that the NSA is spying on civilians? Sub Point 1: What is the NSA; I’m going to begin by telling you a little about what the NSA is. The NSA better known as the National Security Agency is the main producer and manager of the signals intelligence for the United States. The NSA is responsible for the protection of U.S. government. The NSA is tasked with monitoring on targeted individuals in the U.S. But the NSA doesn’t just spy on targeted individuals; they spy on every U.S. citizen, they even spy on world leaders. They can spy on anyone around the world, and they can do this through social media, the internet and phones. I will explain this in more detail later. Ok so now that I’ve talked about what the NSA is, I will tell you guys how it is possible that the NSA is spying on us. Well to begin, the NSA spying program started back when George Bush was the president of the United States, the spying started right after nine eleven, this was in 2001 and that is 13 years ago so consider how long they have been spying. And it only got worse because technology developed...

...In the three clips that I watched, various themes appeared throughout the duration of the short propaganda films. Themes of secrecy, intelligence, and the consequences of spilt secrets was a reoccurrence. The first clip showed how there are spies everywhere and to be cautious of your secrets, while the second clip dealt with the consequences of said secrets getting out. The third clip warned of the various ways enemy spies can get their hands on secrets and how easy it is to fall prey. All three clips displayed efforts of counterespionage that the US utilised against the Germans. The purpose of these clips was to educate government officials, military personnel, and espionage agents about the dangers of sharing secrets. During a time when...

...It is easy to look at the Civil War and see only the men who fought for their beliefs. The generals were men, the spies were men, and the soldiers were men. The only place history books talk about women are when they wrote to their husbands about troubles at home or when they served as nurses in the armies. But there is another side to the Civil War, one that remains hidden from the eyes of the general public. This side portrays the struggles of women who were on the front lines with the men, women who slipped through enemy lines to gather information on enemy troops. In a time when women were considered to be extremely inferior to their male counterparts, their roles in the war were painted over. History lets their contributions slip...

...Lies, deceit, deception, these are not words that you commonly associate with George Washington, but as it turns out he was a master at all of those. Even though he is primarily known as the father of our country and our first president; he was also a master spy. Washington was a Visionary Leader and Ethical Leader while leading our nation’s fight for freedom from the British, and as the country’s first president. In this paper we will review how he used visionary traits to win the revolutionary war, and then we will discuss how his strong ethical traits ensured our country remained true to its founding principles. I will then describe how I used many of the same Visionary Leadership and Ethical Leadership traits while I served in Afghanistan....

Yes , I would go so far as to say that it probably would have been a gust down the back of anyone and everyone if they knew who the spy was, but I 'm not going to ruin your sleep to some by revealing his or her identity , let me just say that the clues are there, would anyone want to untangle the strings , so it is certainly possible.

...to get information out of you, that your morals were weak, that you lacked emotional stability, therefore you were suitable to be working in government. The fear of communism had shifted to the fear of homosexuality when Alger Hiss was accused of being a communist spy by Whittaker Chambers. Chambers was also accused of having been engaged in a number of homosexual affairs. Once this hit the media, everyone believed that Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers had homosexual relations and that they were both communist spies. This led to accusations of homosexuals being weak and easily targeted because of the psychological mal adjustment that supposedly led them to being communist. To be communist was a huge security risk for the American government because during the Cold War the United States was trying to do everything they could to stop the spread of communism. If being homosexuality meant that you were more prone to be a communist, then the United States felt as though they need to get every single one out of them. The idea of having someone who was “flawed” or easily identified as a homosexual, meant that a communist spy could...

...UGRR as a conductor, and she led the slaves to the north. She was also a spy for the union, a nurse, a disabled caretaker, and more. Harriet Tubman's greatest achievement was being a conductor on the UGRR. She saved many slaves from slavery. She took a 600+-mile journey there and back, the risk involved. She has done this many times, which is why this is her greatest achievement. First of all, I believe the UGRR was Harriet Tubman's greatest achievement because she saved many slaves from slavery, which was a horrible thing. To be a slave...

...creation of this dark and uncertain world, Vonnegut is effectively emphasizing the importance of faithfulness in one’s life. Through characters like Howard W. Campbell, Jr. and Resi Noth, among others, he proves that “a life without loyalty and devotion is not a life worth living.” Every character in the novel has either a full-on duel identity or at least a major difference between the person that he or she tries to pretend to be and the person that he or she actually is. Howard W. Campbell, Jr., the main character of the novel, experiences the most severe and damaging lack of loyalty in his life. Howard’s problems begin when he agrees to become an American spy posing as a Minister of Propaganda for the Nazis during World War II. No one knows of his true identity except for himself and a couple other people; therefore, everyone believes Howard to be a Nazi. At times, it seems as though Howard himself is not really sure whether or not he is a Nazi, and he does not really seem to care either. He suffers from a lack of identity and sense of self because of this. Campbell first describes himself as “an American by birth, a Nazi by reputation, and a nationless person by inclination” (Vonnegut 1). He later claims that he does not love nor hate America, or any country for that matter, because “hating it would...

...Drones are used in situations where manned flight is considered too risky or difficult. Each aircraft can stay in the sky for many more hours than a human being will be able to. They hover over the area and send back real-time imagery of imagery of any and all activities happening on the ground below it. In these situations, I personally believe that the use of drones provides safety for our military men and women as they do not have to fall victim to any aerial attacks from enemies. Although, during any war situation they will never be completely safe, this is a measure that can be taken to ensure safety in those instances. Also, a positive to using the drones is that turns can be taken to flying it so there will always be someone watching from above....

...Massachusetts Bay. This play is an allegory to the McCarthy Hearings that took place from 1950 to 1956. The McCarthy hearings occurred in 1947; President Truman ordered background checks of every civilian in service to the government due to a fear of people within the United States being a communist spy. The fear of communism intensified when a high ranked official Alger Hiss was convicted of being a communist spy. Senator Joseph McCarthy stepped in and convinced/alarm people within the U.S that there were Communist and Communist sympathizers that would try to overthrow the government. As a result, he formed a special Congressional committee to investigate Americans who were suspected of Communist activities and this movement was named McCarthyism. The Crucible is a play that is universal and enduring because it uses allegory and archetypes to teach readers that fear and panic are the worst forms of chaos in society. People in both the Crucible and McCarthyism in the 1950’s panicked and were frightened to death. Fear lead people to react in such inhumane ways to save their selves. It influenced people to take extreme measures and act irrationally. The fear of witchcraft and communist spies led to people being accused of one. This created...

...“Everyone makes a big deal out of the fact that I became a spy. It's because spying is such an unusual crime, but what they don't understand is that I became a spy because that is what I had access to. If I'd worked in a bank, I would have taken money. If I'd had access to dope, I would have sold drugs. The fact that I became a spy is really insignificant. The point is that I became a spy because I needed money. It was as simple as that.” John Walker quoted in the book, Family of Spies: Inside the John Walker Spy Ring, authored by Pete Early (New York: Bantam Books, 1988). John Walker was born on 28 July 1937, the second son of James and Peggy Walker. His home life and upbringing was less than ideal, to say the least; his father was a violent alcoholic who eventually drove the family to bankruptcy and then abandoned them. As an adolescent, John Walker became first a troublemaker and eventually a petty criminal. After a high-speed chase through town when he was 17, he was caught by the police for burglarizing a men’s clothing store and a gas station. Arthur Walker, his older brother, had joined the U.S. Navy directly after graduating high school. Arthur Walker intervened and convinced the judge to allow John to join the U.S. Navy as well. It was quite common at the time to force problematic young men into military service in lieu of serving jail time. The school of thought was that military service would straighten him out and give him discipline and a direction...
