The SPAMEX system. :: Computer Science

The SPAMEX system. 1. Introduction The SPAMEX system proposed by SCABB is outlined in the attached letter. I hope to suggest a suitable software process model for the development of the SPAMEX system in the following document. 2. The 'Waterfall' Model The waterfall model consists of several stages of the development life-cycle, each of which are completed in turn. The first stage in applying this model to the development of the SPAMEX system would be to document the system concept and identify the system requirements. After analysing these requirements, one would break the system into pieces, for example; TIP user interface, customer database etc. Each of these components (or subsystems) now require detailed design before the coding can take place. After each of the components has been tested and debugged individually, they can be integrated to form part of the whole SPAMEX system. The system as a whole can now be tested and deployed although requiring ongoing maintenance. The waterfall model was the first of its kind and is still widely used. It allows documented evidence of progress as each stage must be approved and 'signed off' before the next stage is undertaken. This should appeal to SCABB since they have access to these documents and can track the progress of the development of their software. It would also benefit the project manager, who would be able to ensure consistency in the quality of the software and manage accordingly his investments in time and money. The model also allows the various stages of the development to be overlapped in accordance with the wishes of SCABB. This is particularly useful in this case as the current brief presented by SCABB is not to the detail required by the developer. Further meetings between both parties would be essential and ongoing changes in requirements will be inevitable. However, such iterations are not possible without significant investments in time and money from both the developer and SCABB. As we can see, one of the main characteristics of the waterfall model is that commitments be made for each stage early on and each one must be completed and 'signed off' before the next is undertaken. Many problems may arise from this when applied to the SPAMEX system. For example, instability and other coding problems may not be discovered until the testing of the whole system. In such cases re-design may be required, which is very problematic because from the very beginning, this model assumes feasibility before implementation. The waterfall model works well when requirements are stable and well defined, the present SPAMEX brief is somewhat vague and specific details may only be attained through extensive client-developer interaction.

A Dirty Job Chapter 8

8 A STREETCAR NAMED CONFUSION Into the breech of the Castro district Charlie Asher charged, an antique sword-cane from the store on the van seat beside him, his jaw set like a bayonet, his visage a study in fearsome intensity. Half a block, half a block, half of a block onward – into the Valley of Overpriced Juice Bars and Outlandish Hair Highlights – rode the righteous Beta Male. And woe be unto the foolish ne'er-do-well who had dared to fuck with this secondhand death dealer, for his raggedy life would be fast for the bargain table. There's going to be a showdown in Gay Town, Charlie thought, and I am gunning for justice. Well, not really gunning – since he had a sword concealed in a walking stick, not a gun – more of a poking for justice – which didn't really have the avenging angel connotation he was looking for – he was mad, and ready to kick ass, that's all. So, you know, just watch out. (Coincidentally, Poking for Justice was the title currently second in popularity at Castro Video Rentals, closely edging out A Star Is Born: The Director's Cut, and outranked only by Cops Without Pants, which was number one with a bullwhip.) Charlie turned off Market Street and just around the corner on Noe Street he saw it: Fresh Music, the sign done in blocky, Craftsman-style stained glass, and he felt the hair at the back of his neck bristle and an urgency in his bladder. His body had gone into fight-or-flight mode, and for the second time in a week, he was going against his Beta Male nature and choosing to fight. Well, so be it, he thought. So be it. He would confront his tormentor and lay him low, as soon as he found a parking place – which he didn't. He circled the block, cutting between cafs and bars, both of which were in abundance in the Castro. He drove up and down the side streets, lined with rows of immaculately kept (exorbitantly priced) Victorians and found no quarter for his trusty steed. After a half hour of orbiting the neighborhood, he headed back uptown and found a spot in a parking garage in the Fillmore, then took the antique streetcar back down Market Street to the Castro. A cute little green, Italian-made antique streetcar, with oak benches, brass railings, and mahogany window frames – a charming brass bell and a top speed of about twenty miles per hour: this is how Charlie Asher charged into battle. He tried to imagine a horde of Huns hanging off the sides, waving wicked blades and firing arrows as they passed the murals in the Mission district, perhaps Viking raiders, shields fastened to the sides of the car, a great drum pounding as they rowed in to pillage the antique shops, the leather bars, the sushi bars, the leather sushi bars (don't ask), and the art galleries, in the Castro. And here, even Charlie's formidable imagination failed him. He got off the car at Castro and Market and walked back a block to Fresh Music, then paused outside the shop, wondering what in the hell he was going to do now. What if the caller had just borrowed the phone? What if he stormed in screaming and threatening, and there was just some confused kid behind the counter? But then he looked in the door, and there, standing behind the counter, all alone, was an extraordinarily tall black man dressed completely in mint green, and at that point Charlie lost his mind. â€Å"You killed her,† Charlie screamed as he stormed by the racks of CDs toward the man in mint. He drew the sword as he ran, or tried to, hoping to bring it out in a single fluid movement from the cane sheath and across the throat of Rachel's killer. But the sword-cane had been in the back of Charlie's shop for a long time, and except for three times when Lily's friend Abby tried to leave with it (once trying to buy it, when Charlie refused to sell it to her, then twice trying to steal it), the sword hadn't been drawn in years. The little brass stud that you pushed to release the blade had stuck, so when Charlie delivered the deathblow, he swung the entire cane, which was heavier – and slower – than the sword would have been. The man in mint green – quick for his size – ducked, and Charlie took out an entire row of Judy Garland CDs, lost his balance, bounced off the counter, spun around, and again tried for the single draw-and-cut move that he had seen so many times in samurai movies, and had practiced so many times in his head on the way here. This time the sword came free of the scabbard and slashed a deadly arch three feet in front of the man in mint, completely decapitating a life-sized cutout of Barbra Streisand. â€Å"That is un-unfucking called for!† thundered the tall man. As Charlie recovered his balance for a backhand slash, he saw something large and dark coming down over him and recognized it at the last instant, as the antique cash register slammed down on his head. There was a flash, a ding, and everything got dark and gooey. When Charlie came to, he was tied to a chair in the back room of the record store, which looked remarkably like the back room of his own store, except all the stacked boxes were full of records and CDs instead of all variety of used jetsam. The tall black man was standing over him, and Charlie thought at first that he might be turning to mist or smoke, but then he realized it was just that his vision was going wavy, and then pain lit up the inside of his head like a strobe light. â€Å"Ouch.† â€Å"How's your neck?† asked the tall man. â€Å"Does your neck feel broken? Can you feel your feet?† â€Å"Go ahead, kill me, you fucking coward,† said Charlie, bucking around in the chair, trying to lunge at his captor and feeling a little like the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail after his arms and legs had been hacked off. If this guy took one step closer, Charlie could head-butt him in the nads, he was sure of it. The tall man stomped on Charlie's toes, a size-eighteen glove-leather loafer driven by two hundred and seventy pounds of death and used-record dealer. â€Å"Ouch!† Charlie hopped his chair in a little circle of pain. â€Å"Goddammit! Ouch!† â€Å"So you do have feeling in your feet?† â€Å"Get it over with. Go ahead.† Charlie stretched his neck as if offering his throat to be cut – his strategy was to lure his captor into range, then sever the tall man's femoral artery with his teeth, then gloat as the blood coursed all over his mint-green slacks onto the floor. Charlie would laugh long and sinister as he watched the life drain out of the evil bastard, then he would hop his chair out to the street and onto the streetcar at Market, transfer to the number forty-one bus at Van Ness, hop off at Columbus, and hop the two blocks home, where someone would untie him. He had a plan – and a bus pass with four more days left on it – so this son of a bitch had picked the wrong guy to fuck with. â€Å"I have no intention of killing you, Charlie,† said the tall man, keeping a safe distance. â€Å"I'm sorry I had to hit you with the register. You didn't really leave me any options.† â€Å"You could have tasted the fatal sting of my blade!† Charlie glanced around for his sword-cane, just in case the guy had left it within reach. â€Å"Yeah, sure, there was that one, but I thought I'd go with the one without the stains and the funeral.† Charlie strained against his bonds, which he realized now were plastic shopping bags. â€Å"You're messing with Death, you know? I am Death.† â€Å"Yeah, I know.† â€Å"You do?† â€Å"Sure.† The tall man spun another wooden chair around and sat on it reversed, facing Charlie. His knees were up at the level of his elbows and he looked like a great green tree frog, crouched to pounce on an insect. Charlie noticed for the first time that he had golden eyes, stark and striking in contrast to his dark skin. â€Å"So am I,† said the evil mint-green frog guy. â€Å"You? You're Death?† â€Å"A Death, not THE Death. I don't think there is a THE Death. Not anymore, anyway.† Charlie couldn't grasp it, so he struggled and wobbled until the tall man had to reach out and steady him to keep him from toppling over. â€Å"You killed Rachel.† â€Å"I did not.† â€Å"I saw you there.† â€Å"Yes, you did. That's a problem. Will you please stop thrashing around?† He shook Charlie's chair. â€Å"But I wasn't instrumental in Rachel's death. That's not what we do, not anymore, anyway. Didn't you even look at the book?† â€Å"What book? You said something about a book on the phone.† â€Å"The Great Big Book of Death. I sent it to your shop. I told a woman at the counter that I was sending it, and I got delivery confirmation, so I know it got there.† â€Å"What woman – Lily? She's not a woman, she's a kid.† â€Å"No, this was a woman about your age, with New Wave hair.† â€Å"Jane? No. She didn't say anything, and I didn't get any book.† â€Å"Oh, shit. That explains why they've been showing up. You didn't even know.† â€Å"Who? What? They?† Mint Green Death sighed heavily. â€Å"I guess we're going to be here awhile. I'm going to make some coffee. Do you want some?† â€Å"Sure, try to lull me into a false sense of security, then spring.† â€Å"You're tied the fuck up, motherfucker, I don't need to lull you into shit. You've been fucking with the fabric of human existence and someone needed to shut your ass down.† â€Å"Oh, sure, go black on me. Play the ethnic card.† Mint Green climbed to his feet and headed toward the door to the shop. â€Å"You want cream?† â€Å"And two sugars, please,† Charlie said. This is really cool, why are you giving it back?† said Abby Normal. Abby was Lily's best friend, and they were sitting on the floor in the back room of Asher's Secondhand, looking through The Great Big Book of Death. Abby's real name was Alison, but she would no longer tolerate the ignominy of what she called her â€Å"daylight-slave name.† Everyone had been much more responsive to calling her by her chosen name than they had been to Lily's, Darquewillow Elventhing, which you always had to spell for people. â€Å"Turns out it's Asher, not me,† Lily said. â€Å"He'll be really pissed if he finds out I took it. And he's Death now, I guess, so I could get in trouble.† â€Å"Are you going to tell him you had the book?† Abby scratched the silver spider stud in her eyebrow; it was a fresh piercing and still healing and she couldn't stop messing with it. Abby, like Lily, was dressed all in black, boots to hair, the difference being that she had a black-widow's red hourglass on the front of her black T-shirt and she was thinner and more waiflike in her affected creepiness. â€Å"No. I'll just say it got misfiled. That happens a lot here.† â€Å"How long did you think it was you?† â€Å"Like a month.† â€Å"What about the dreams and the names and stuff it talks about, you didn't have any of that, right?† â€Å"I thought I was just growing into my powers. I made a lot of lists of people I wanted gone.† â€Å"Yeah, I do that. And you just found out yesterday that it was Asher?† â€Å"Yeah,† said Lily. â€Å"That sucks,† said Abby. â€Å"Life sucks,† said Lily. â€Å"So, what now?† asked Abby. â€Å"Junior college?† They both nodded, woefully, and looked into the depths of their respective nail polishes to avoid sharing the humiliation of one of them having gone from dark demigod to local loser in an instant. They lived their lives hoping for something grand and dark and supernatural to happen, so when it had, they took it more in stride than was probably healthy. Fear, after all, is a survival mechanism. â€Å"So all these things are soul objects?† asked Abby, as cheerfully as her integrity would allow. She waved to the piles of stuff Charlie had marked with â€Å"Do Not Sell† signs. â€Å"There's like a person's soul in there?† â€Å"According to the book,† said Lily. â€Å"Asher says he can see them glow.† â€Å"I like the red Converse All Stars.† â€Å"Take them, they're yours,† said Lily. â€Å"Really?† â€Å"Yeah,† Lily said. She took the All Stars off the shelf and held them out. â€Å"He'll never miss them.† â€Å"Cool. I have the perfect pair of red fishnets I can wear with them.† â€Å"They probably have the soul of some sweaty jock in them,† Lily said. â€Å"He may worship at my feet,† said Abby, doing a pirouette and an arabesque (remnants, along with an eating disorder, of ten years of ballet lessons). So I'm like a Santa's Helper of Death?!† Charlie said, waving his coffee cup. The tall man had untied his one arm so he could drink his coffee, and Charlie was baptizing the stockroom floor with French roast with every gesture. Mr. Fresh frowned. â€Å"What in the hell are you talking about, Asher?† Fresh felt bad about hitting Charlie Asher with a cash register and tying him up, and now he was wondering if the blow hadn't caused some sort of brain damage. â€Å"I'm talking about the Santa at Macy's, Fresh. When you're a kid, and you notice that the Santa Claus at Macy's has a fake beard, and that there are at least six Salvation Army Santas working Union Square, you ask your parents about it and they tell you that the real Santa is in the North Pole, and he's really busy, so all these other guys are Santa's helpers, who are out helping him with his work. That's what you're saying, that we're Santa's helpers to Death?† Mr. Fresh had been standing by his desk, but now he sat down again across from Charlie so he could look him in the eye. Very softly he said, â€Å"Charlie, you know that that's not true now, right? I mean about Santa's helpers and all?† â€Å"Of course I know that there's no Santa Claus. I'm using it as a metaphor, you tool.† Mr. Fresh took this opportunity to reach out and smack Charlie upside the head. Then immediately regretted it. â€Å"Hey!† Charlie put down his cup and rubbed one of his receding-hairline inlets, which was going red from the blow. â€Å"Rude,† said Mr. Fresh. â€Å"Let's not be rude.† â€Å"So you're saying that there is a Santa?† Charlie said, cringing in anticipation of another smack. â€Å"Oh my God, how deep does this conspiracy go?† â€Å"No, there's no goddamn Santa. I'm just saying that I don't know what we are. I don't know if there is a big Death with a capital D, although the book hints that there used to be. I'm just saying that there are many of us, a dozen that I know of right here in the city – all of us picking up soul vessels and seeing that they get into the right hands.† â€Å"And that's based on someone randomly coming into your shop and buying a record?† Then Charlie's eyes went wide as it hit him. â€Å"Rachel's Sarah McLachlan CD. You took it?† â€Å"Yes.† Fresh looked at the floor, not because he was ashamed, but to avoid seeing the pain in Charlie Asher's eyes. â€Å"Where is it? I want to see it,† said Charlie. â€Å"I sold it.† â€Å"To who? Find it. I want Rachel back.† â€Å"I don't know. To a woman. I didn't get her name, but I'm sure it was meant for her. You'll be able to tell.† â€Å"I will? Why will I?† he asked. â€Å"Why me? I don't want to kill people.† â€Å"We don't kill people, Mr. Asher. That's a misconception. We simply facilitate the ascendance of the soul.† â€Å"Well, one guy died because I said something to him, and another had a heart attack because of something I did. A death that results from your actions is basically killing someone, unless you're a politician, right? So why me? I'm not that highly skilled at bullshit. So why me?† Mr. Fresh considered what Charlie was saying, and felt like something sinister had crawled up his spine. In all his years, he didn't remember ever having his actions directly result in someone's death, nor had he heard of it happening with the other Death Merchants. Of course you occasionally showed up at the time when the person was passing, but not often, and never as a cause. â€Å"Well?† Charlie said. Mr. Fresh shrugged. â€Å"Because you saw me. Surely you've noticed that no one sees you when you're out to get a soul vessel.† â€Å"I've never gone out to get a soul vessel.† â€Å"Yes, you have, and you will, at least you should be. You need to get with the program, Mr. Asher.† â€Å"Yeah, so you said. So you're – uh – we're invisible when we're out getting these soul vessels?† â€Å"Not invisible, so to speak, it's just that no one sees us. You can go right into people's homes and they'll never notice you standing right beside them, but if you speak to someone on the street they'll see you, waitresses will take your order, cabs will stop for you – well, not me, I'm black, but, you know, they would. It's sort of a will thing, I think. I've tested it. Animals can see us, by the way. You'll want to watch out for dogs when you're retrieving a vessel.† â€Å"So that's how you got to be a – what do they call us?† â€Å"Death Merchants.† â€Å"Get out. Really?† â€Å"It's not in the book. I came up with it.† â€Å"It's very cool.† â€Å"Thanks.† Mr. Fresh smiled, relieved for a moment not to be thinking about the gravity of Charlie's unique transition to Death Merchant. â€Å"Actually, I think it's a character from an album cover, guy behind a cash register, eyes glowing red, but I didn't know that when I came up with it.† â€Å"Well, it makes perfect sense.† â€Å"Yeah, I thought so,† said Mr. Fresh. â€Å"More coffee?† â€Å"Please.† Charlie held out his empty cup. â€Å"So, someone saw you. That's how you became a Death Merchant?† â€Å"No, that's how you became one. I think that you may, uh – † Fresh didn't want to mislead this poor guy, but on the other hand he didn't actually know what had happened. â€Å"I think you may be different from the rest of us. No one saw me. I was working security for a casino in Vegas when that went sour for me – I have a problem with authority, I'm told – so I came to San Francisco and opened this shop, started dealing in used records and CDs, mostly jazz at first. After a while it just started happening: the glowing soul vessels, people coming in with them, finding them at estate sales. I don't know why or how, it just did, and I didn't say anything about it to anyone. Then the book came in the mail.† â€Å"The book again. Don't you have a copy around?† â€Å"There's only one copy. At least that I know of.† â€Å"And you just mailed it out?† â€Å"I sent it certified mail!† Fresh boomed. â€Å"Someone at your store signed for it. I think I did my part.† â€Å"Okay, sorry, go on.† â€Å"Anyway, when I got to the Castro it was a very sad place. The only guys you saw on the street were very old or very young, all the ones in the middle were either dead or sick with HIV, walking with canes, towing oxygen cylinders. Death was everywhere. It's like there needed to be a soul way station, and I was here, trading records. Then the book showed up in the mail. There were a lot of souls coming in. For those first few years I was picking up vessels every day, sometimes two or three times a day. You'd be surprised how many gay men have their souls in their music.† â€Å"Have you sold them all?† â€Å"No. They come in, they go out. There's always some inventory.† â€Å"But how can you be sure the right person gets the right soul?† â€Å"Not my problem, is it?† Mr. Fresh shrugged. He'd worried about it at first, but it seemed to all happen as it should, and he'd gotten into the rhythm of trusting whatever mechanism or power was behind all of this. â€Å"Well, if that's your attitude, why do it at all? I don't want this job. I have a job, and a kid.† â€Å"You have to do it. Believe me, after I got the book, I tried not doing it. We all did. At least the ones I've talked to did. I'm guessing you've already seen what happens if you don't. You'll start hearing the voices, then the shades start coming. The book calls them Underworlders.† â€Å"The giant ravens? Them?† â€Å"They were just indistinct shadows and voices until you showed up. There's something going on. Starting with you, and continuing with you. You let them get a soul vessel, didn't you?† â€Å"Me? You said there's a bunch of Death Merchants.† â€Å"The others know better. It was you. You fucked up. I thought I saw one flying over earlier in the week. Then today, I was out walking, and the voices were bad. Really bad. That's when I called you. It was you, wasn't it?† Charlie nodded. â€Å"I didn't know. How could I know?† â€Å"So they got one?† â€Å"Two,† Charlie said. â€Å"A hand came out of the sewer. It was my first day.† â€Å"Well, that's it,† said Fresh, cradling his head in his hands. â€Å"We are most certainly fucked now.† â€Å"You don't know that,† Charlie said, trying to look on the bright side. â€Å"We could have been fucked before. I mean, we run secondhand stores for dead people, that's sort of a definition of fucked.† Mr. Fresh looked up. â€Å"The book says if we don't do our jobs everything could go dark, become like the Underworld. I don't know what the Underworld is like, Mr. Asher, but I've caught some of the road show from there a couple of times, and I'm not interested in finding out. How 'bout you?† â€Å"Maybe it's Oakland,† Charlie said. â€Å"What's Oakland?† â€Å"The Underworld.† â€Å"Oakland is not the Underworld!† Mr. Fresh leapt to his feet; he was not a violent man, you really didn't have to be when you were his size, but – â€Å"The Tenderloin?† Charlie suggested. â€Å"Don't make me smack you. Neither of us wants that, do we, Mr. Asher?† Charlie shook his head. â€Å"I've seen the ravens,† Charlie said, â€Å"but I haven't heard any voices. What voices?† â€Å"They talk to you when you're on the street. Sometimes you'll hear a voice coming out of a heating vent, a downspout, sometimes a storm drain. It's them, all right. Female voices, taunting. I've gone years without hearing them, I'll almost forget, then I'll be going to pick up a vessel, and one will call to me. I used to phone the other merchants, ask them if they'd done something, but we stopped that right away.† â€Å"Why?† â€Å"Because that's part of what we think brings them up. We're not supposed to have any contact. It took us a while to figure that out. I had only found six of the merchants in the city back then, and we were having lunch once a week, talking about what we knew, comparing notes – that's when we saw the first of the shades. In fact, just to be safe, this will be the last time that you and I have contact.† Mr. Fresh shrugged again and began to untie Charlie's bonds, thinking: It all changed that day at the hospital. This guy has changed everything, and I'm sending him out like a lamb to the slaughter – or maybe he's the one to do the slaughtering. This guy might be the one – â€Å"Wait, I don't know anything,† Charlie pleaded. â€Å"You can't just send me out to do this without more background. What about my daughter? How do I know who to sell the souls to?† He was panicked and trying to ask all the questions before he was set free. â€Å"What are the numbers after the names? Do you get the names like that? How long do I have to do this before I can retire. Why are you always dressed in mint green?† As Mr. Fresh untied one ankle, Charlie was trying to tie the other back to the chair. â€Å"My name,† said Mr. Fresh. â€Å"Pardon?† Charlie stopped tying himself up. â€Å"I dress in mint green because of my first name. It's Minty.† Charlie completely forgot what he was worried about. â€Å"Minty? Your name is Minty Fresh?† Charlie appeared to be trying to stifle a sneeze, but then snorted an explosive laugh. Then ducked.

Essay about Creation vs Evolution - 2018 Words

Almost everyone wonders if the universe was created and how it was created. People also ask, â€Å"How did human originate?† This is an argument that has been fought for many years. Although there are several ideas, society mainly argues over two of them. The first idea is that man was created by God during his creation of the universe. This is the idea of creationism. It is supported by many religious people. Creationism is supported by religion. The second way that humans could have originated is through a process called evolution. Evolution is a theory proposed by scientists to explain the origin of all species. Because both explanations are theories, neither can be proven right or wrong. To make a decision on which theory is†¦show more content†¦The Brewer 3 organisms born with the advantages will have a better opportunity to survive and reproduce. During reproduction, the advantages may be inherited by the offspring. When this process occurs to many individuals within a species, the organisms with the advantages will have a higher frequency. This will be higher than that of the organisms without the advantages. Eventually the organisms will become an evolved population. The other population may survive or become extinct (â€Å"Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial† 7). The first scientist to introduce the theory of evolution was the Greek Anaximander in 520 BC. When the idea was proposed, it was not called evolution. Anaximander suggested that life began as slime and moved to drier places to develop. Until the nineteenth century, people thought only thought that each species was miraculously created out of nothing. Today, this idea is known as evolution. The main researcher of evolution was Charles Darwin. He was not well respected among others. He proposed his theory of evolution in the nineteenth century. He proposed that in each generation, a species contains individuals with characteristics varying slightly from average. These differences may be minor, but some give those individuals a better chance of surviving and reproducing. This will pass on the advantages to the offspring. That species may become extinct.

Annotated Bibliography on Same-Sex Marriage

This annotated bibliography is meant to be an overview of my research towards a paper on same sex marriage. It evaluates four pieces of literature that I have chosen to use as external sources for my paper, providing a summary of the text and an argument for its relevancy: Case and Stewart’s (2009) study â€Å"Heterosexual Privilege Awareness, Prejudice, and Support of Gay Marriage Among Diversity Course Students,† Nussbaum’s (2010) article â€Å"A right to marry?†, Mills’ (2009) editorial â€Å"Its time to allow gay marriage in Australia,† and Australian Marriage Equality’s (2011) article â€Å"The Case for Marriage.† In my paper, I aim to use these sources to point out the logical fallacies in the arguments against gay marriage, as well as push for tolerance courses and diversity education as the key to addressing this systemic issue. Only then can the social attitudes regarding gays and lesbians ease up to the point where the case for marriage will no longer be so strongly opposed. The issue of same sex marriage is a very complex and difficult problem to solve; there is an entire minority group that wishes to be granted the same rights as heterosexuals, and is experiencing a great deal of resistance from those opposed to it. The arguments against homosexual marriage are as follows: it â€Å"ruins† the sanctity of traditional marriage, it flies in the face of normal, established society as people understand it, and people deem homosexual couples unfit for raising children. There are other arguments, but the majority of them seem, in my research, to be religion and values-based. My argument in this paper is that the decision whether or not to allow gays to be married is a rights-based issue, not values-based, and that people’s personal opinion on whether it is acceptable should not determine whether or not it is legal. The opposition to gay marriage stems from an overall social discomfort and intolerance of gays in general, and should not dictate le gislation. There is a systemic fear and lack of understanding of alternative lifestyles, and that leads to the prejudices that bring about gay marriage bans. Case, K., Stewart, B. (2009). Heterosexual Privilege Awareness, Prejudice, and Support of Gay Marriage Among Diversity Course Students.  College Teaching, 58(1), 3-7. Retrieved from EBSCOhost. In this study, Case and Stewart (2009) opted to evaluate the amount of homophobia and recognition of heterosexual privilege experienced by students in a diversity course throughout its run. Surveys were taken at the beginning and end of the course gauging the students’ sensitivity towards gays and lesbians, and they found that the participants grew more tolerant as a result of the diversity course. They became more aware of heterosexual privilege (namely, that their status as heterosexuals placed them at an advantage over homosexuals, as they had rights and social status that gays and lesbians do not), and even became more accepting of same-sex marriage. It also argues for the existence of sexuality-based diversity courses, instead of merely teaching about race and gender. This would improve education and raise acceptance of gays and lesbians and their right to marry. I would like to use this article as evidence that one way to create an environment that supports same-sex marriage is greater education and tolerance for minorities. The researchers were psychology professors at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, making them qualified to discuss attitudes and prejudices, and this study was published in 2010, making it a very recent case. NUSSBAUM, M. (2010). A right to marry?.  Dissent (00123846), 56(3), 43-55. Retrieved from EBSCOhost. In Nussbaum’s article, she makes the case that marriage in and of itself, much less same sex marriage, is difficult to define; there are many different marriages that do not include having children, or marriages that even occur without love. Therefore, it makes marriage very pluralistic and versatile. The point of this argument is that, because other marriages exist without some of the things that are normally associated with it, there is no reason to legalize a marriage between a same-sex couple, as it would have the exact same omissions of these aspects of marriage. Nussbaum (2010) even argues that the government should not be granted the right to allow marriages, much less deny them, as they are a governing institution, and should not have those rights. Nussbaum (2010) takes us through the history of marriage, and concludes that marriages even in the past were far less â€Å"traditional† than most opponents of gay marriage believe they are. Martha Nussbaum is a Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago, and the article is taken from her book, which was published in February 2010, making this a recent and reputable source. I will use this in my research to provide more factual arguments for marriage equality. Mills, R. (2009) Its time to allow gay marriage in Australia. The Punch. Retrieved March 23, 2011, from www.thepunch.com.au/articles/its-time-to-allow-gay-marriage. In this article, Mills (2009) argues the emotional points of view regarding his advocacy for gay marriage, mostly expressing incredulity that it has not happened yet. The facts and ideas presented within it are, for the most part, based on opinion, as it is an editorial piece. It expresses Mills’ (2009) opinion on same sex marriage, with a few statistics peppered in (50% of marriages ending in divorce, 60% of other Australians supporting same-sex marriage). Mills (2009) is an actor and musician, not a writer, and he bases his opinion on the subject on the experiences he has had with gay friends and relatives. As the subject of gay marriage is an emotional issue, it is important to include the more sympathetic, emotion-based appeals for its legalization. This article was written in 2009, so it is fairly recent, though it may not reflect the most current changes in gay marriage legislation. However, it merely provides an emotional opinion by its author in order to address the normal, reactionary arguments against gay marriage, such as religion-based opposition and claims that it damages traditional families. Mills also posits that gay couples should also be allowed to adopt kids, as there are plenty of loving families that would love to have children. The Case for Marriage. (2011) Australian Marriage Equality Working for equal rights for all   Australians. Retrieved March 23, 2011, from http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/case.htm This article provides a more logical, sensible explanation for why same-sex marriage should be legalized. It explains how the couples would be advantaged as a result, namely allowing them to express their love for each other in the same way that heterosexuals do. It repeats the arguments that, regardless of personal opinion regarding gay marriage, it is not something that should be made illegal, as it is a basic human right. Currently, federal law states that it â€Å"is acceptable to exclude lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered persons from a central social institution, and that [their] relationships are inferior.† (2011) The primary case is that â€Å"no group of Australians should be systematically excluded from any legal institution,† which includes marriage. The author of this article is not listed specifically, but it is a piece of literature from the organization Australian Marriage Equality; therefore, it does work toward that agenda. Again, it is an opinion piece, but it provides logical arguments for allowing gay marriage (presenting it as a case of discrimination, as a group of people are being denied rights). It is important to understand the basic logical arguments in favor of gay marriage in order to grasp the aim of the research of this paper. CONCLUSION In summary, these three articles (and one study) will help to support my case that gays and lesbians should be granted the right to marry. Two of them provide emotional and logic based arguments for gay marriage, making impassioned pleas to those who oppose them to change their minds and see the error of their ways. One of those is an editorial from an average citizen, the other a piece of press from a gay rights advocacy group. A third article goes through the history of marriage itself, for the purposes of debunking the myth that marriage has always been a certain way, and that it should not be changed. It also explains the arguments against gay marriage, and why they are not sufficient to warrant a lack of legalization. Finally, there is a study that indicates that acceptance of same-sex marriage would be greater if people were educated in sensitivity toward minorities, and given a properly informed perspective towards homosexuals. This would allow them to allay their fears about homosexuals, and grant themselves a greater understanding of equality among individuals. All of my research sources are recent and relevant, as well as reputable. I believe they would have a great deal of use in my paper towards explaining the aforementioned points. The road to same sex legal marriages is a long one, and there is a great deal of opposition from many sides towards it. The only way to secure the rights for this group of people is to inform them of the flaws in their case for banning gay marriage, and showing them that allowing gays and lesbians to have rights is not something that will â€Å"ruin† marriage for the rest of the population.

Theory Of Morality As A System Of Hypothetical Imperatives...

Circular Reasoning in Foot’s Moral System In â€Å"Morality as a System of Hypothetical Imperatives†, Philippa Foot argues against Immanuel Kant, that morality exists in hypothetical imperatives rather than categorical imperatives. For Kant, categorical imperatives alone serve as moral commands, and it would be impossible for a moral system to be based on hypothetical imperatives because such imperatives serve as means to ends and result from maxims that cannot be universalized into perfect duties. Despite this, Foot holds that acting on many hypothetical imperatives can be morally praiseworthy and can even serve as the basis of moral judgments. Although I agree with Foot that hypothetical imperatives can have moral worth, in this paper, I will argue that a morality based on the purposes that hypothetical imperatives are directed toward appears to be circular. To do this, I will explain Foot’s theory of how morality is known and binds. Then, I will argue that this theory is insufficient to explain the moral pur pose that hypothetical imperatives must be directed toward, thus begging the question of what is the moral basis of the purpose directed toward in the hypothetical imperative. To base morality on a system of hypothetical imperatives, Foot begins by explaining Kant’s distinction between hypothetical and categorical imperatives.

Stocks Is Analysed Investors Being Held †Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss About The Stocks Is Analysed Investors Being Held? Answer: Introduction The discussion has been about handling the standards with the focus on the computer chip industry which includes the development of the contacts. Along with this, the focus is on handling the manufacturing of plants with employees who relate to the executives who tend to handle the Galleon on the company. The investment company boutiques are mainly influenced with the obsessive nature to minimise the expenses with the employees that ted to make the employees staying in budget hotel rooms (Look, 2011). The encouragement is through the sifting which is set with garbage and then taking hold of the professional meetings as well. The target is about the professional meetings with the research to handle the conducts and then setting the agencies that could easily collect the information (Colesanti, 2011). The research is about the ranks with becoming personality standards that has a major impact on the company culture. Main body of the report Answer 1: It has been seen that the information gathering techniques are similar which are for the common forms of the Wall Street. Here, the business perspectives are to make money with the trading that has been illegal. There are people who tend to allow and work on the wrapping of the ideas and making money when one lose the sight of fair and the unfair things. The belief is about the continuous issues with the trading that relates to the working with the problems that relates for thinking about the prevention or reducing the different types of the practices. The suggestion that the people engross is mainly based on the forms of the regulations and how the executives could work on properly suggesting a better development of the company. The use of the different types of the information with the gathering of the changes leads to the decision-making processes with the focus on handling the different standards which includes the larger amount of money. It is important for the employe es to work on the involvement with the company along with handling the ramifications to engage the act like the insider trading scenario (Rapoport, 2011). As per the analysis from the chapter, it has been seen that there are some of the insider trading activities which are completely unethical and that tend to violate the rights of the shareholders. The resources with the fuel of company success is depending upon how the managers and the executives do not own the resources. There are some of the unjust factors with the unpairing to the participants of stock trading industry (Kaplan et al., 2012). The information gathering techniques are common on Wall Street which are mainly to make the money. The standards are set for the investor to take hold of the information from the company with the check on handling the development by his/her own forecasting needs. There are some other hedging funds about information gathering techniques. The bottom line with the insider trading is found to b e illegal and then checking over the greediness and act with egoism. The loss of sight with the focus on maximising one own self-interest is important for the robust compliance and the supervisory acts and surveillance. The belief is mainly related to how the Wall St. has been able to find the evidence which is related to the study that is conducted by the professors. For this, there is a possibility to handle the results which are disturbing and then suggesting the enforcement of the law which is woefully behind (Agapova et al., 2013). The overwhelming factors consider the facts which relates to the prominent targets and the attraction of the headlines. The court rulings are the cases where the prosecution is done for the monitoring of devices. The information is based on attending the meeting with the phone calls and the other texts. They are important for receiving the information which is like easy way to handle the people and make the money. There are different accusations and the procedures which includes the trading at the Galleon process. The company works on the management of the large amount where Rajaratnam tend to get into trouble with the government forms. The regulators, investors and the other executives tend to work and keep a track of the information which includes the monitoring of the transactions. The suspicion is mainly to make use of the different information systems that tend to gather the monitoring and handling the forms which includes the trial to stop any of the illegal practice where the people tend to find and hide the standards. The check is on how to work with the practices with the information gathering techniques (Vishwanath, 2015). The Galleon Group has been based on the privately-owned hedg e funds with the firms that provide the services and the information related to the investments. The money is important for some people which is hard to stop or control mainly because the people always have a chance with the new and better schemes. The regulators, investors and the executives are set with the payments that include the attention for the companies that handle all the sudden changes and the investment of the larger sum of the money (Leasure, 2011). Answer 2: This is mainly including all the information which is related to handle the material information with the focus on the different self-explanatory and the obvious patterns. The focus is on handling the sharing of information with the laws that are set against doing and working like Rajaratnam have been prosecuted with. The sentence to the jail time for doing is through engaging oneself in the insider trading when one is not breaking the law. The entire reputation is at a shot (Khdir, 2016). It is important to work on the serving of the jail time and then releasing the facts from the jail where one is no longer able to handle the market with the breakage of the system. It has been illegal when it comes to the knowledge standards with the stock to trad and work towards the functioning that will lead to the decision-making process. As per my opinion, it is completely wrong and I will not be supporting that anyone would easily be persuaded or let the knowledge for the coercing t o decide related to the ethical hacking. For the trading and the tippers, there are consequences based on the insider trading which is found to be serious and include the times of the jails and the financial penalties which are for handling the penalties that are being barred from the industry (Gate, 2016). There are standards set for the stock industry market with the ins and outs with the deferring that is for the stock market decisions. One does not make one exempt from any scrutiny or the penalty which is based on the events of hiring the person who tend to violate the laws. The ethical, legal and the other privacy standards need to be checked with the want of how the colleagues, employees and the investors work on understanding the culture wfith the different business endeavours that run with transparency and in ethical form (Beny et al., 2012). There are different forms where I see that some of the illegal information has been gathered about the stock. Here, it is important to focus on making the decisions in relation to the stock. There is other decision process which are hard to find with the bringing of the revenue in the system. The things are boiled with the possibility that makes oneself into trouble with different types of information. The resources are set with the stock range that tend to decrease the time amount with easily determining the comfort and the invention of the stock range. The confidentiality of the information in the company also directly affects the process of trading as well (Jennings, 2012). There are other major implications which are related to the society, individual company, competitor companies and the stock market. The person works on the high ethical standards without making any use of the different information processes. The forms are set with the illegal forms with sharing the information that is unknown to the public. One needs to focus on handling the no longer success with closed market standards after the law is breaking. It has been set with persuasion with the personal standards or the knowledge that coerce into the making of the decisions. The information is about the validity with the prosecution witness that includes the functioning in the oversees bank account with the focus on the civil charges (Robert, 2010). The Rajaratnam works on handling the defence team with easily carrying the swift appealing forms with the criminal conviction. The argument is about the aggressive wiretapping with the federal investigations that relate to the working over the employing and gathering the evidence with the tactics over the forms with the insider trading case (Look, 2011). The appeals are related to the judicial permission with placing all the wiretaps that has been through the violation of the constitutional rights. The federal courts work on the arguments with unpers uasive and upholding the conviction process. The focus has been on the incrimination of the records and the conversations that does not become usable with the prosecution by trial. The forms are set with the upheld to handle the declined cases with the criminal penalty forms. Galleon case is about the largest investigation in the hedge funds set for the fraud and the consistency. The forms include the investments from the company with the additional rang of the stock exchange which are traded based on the allegedly non-pubic information. The financial status is related to how the companies work on the stock pricing and the shareholders. Answer 3: There are no secrete investigations where the focus is always to look around for the rules, with the new ways to communicate in a secret form. As per the understanding, Rajaratnam conviction does not tend to change any other forms of the fund managers. Here, the inventors from the sharing of the non-public information includes how the justice system works on setting the example which is related to the Galleon group. There are Rajaratnam thoughts about handling the trading which related to how the acts are done with the evaluation of the risks and the other benefits (Rawat et al., 2013). It is important to focus on the different risks factors and the benefits which related to the situations about how to deal with the trading if it meets to go to jail. The other companies work on being the higher standards, with the focus on the handling the orders with the forms that are related to the cases that believe in sharing any of the non-public information with getting ahead at the edge. The duty of disclosure is set with the seller obligations to disclose any of the information about the products and the consumers who try to buy and work till one hold the risks and the responsibility that harm the computer. The employees work on the conflict of interests with the focus on the incentives that must work on handling and serving the interest (Jennings, 2012). No, as per the experience and the work, there are mentioned forms which relates to handling the different number of the insider trading with the fraud going activities, in a rapid manner. The thought is about the finding and working on how the insiders can work over the filtering of the processes and then working over the different suspicious activities. The pay to the close attention to the different surroundings is based on the involvement of the circle of trust. It includes that one should not deter any of the infractions from occurring the dilemmas. The small and the unethical actions are found to be innocuous with the people rationalising the behaviour to justify it. The rationalisation process is based on the moral disengagement with the slippery slope effect with the retrieval of the information. I do not think that there is any of the secret investigation with the conviction of Rajaratnam or the other people who work on deterring the fund managers. The forms are set with shar ing the non-public information with the thought that someone will include the system outsmart functions (Reed, et al., 2013). I do not always think that someone with the outsmart of the system will lead to the exposure of the forms and data. Rajaratnam has been conspired without any other person to commit the fraud. Here, the trading secrets include the charges related to the insider trading practices. The use of the skills is set with gaining from working and handling the financial institutions which has been unethically conspired with the other companies. The information discussion is about the stocks which is not released to the generalised public yet. The accused standards are set with the forms without any of the recurrent criminal activity with the indicators of the continued anti-social, irresponsible or the violent behaviour (Master et al., 2011). The forms are set with the focus on handling the federal investigation with the claim that works towards agreement over the coope ration in the investigation against the forms to wire the fraud. Raj Rajaratnam has been arrested over the charge of the different securities with the wire fraud standards, where SEC works on the filing with the civil insider trading working over the different defence attorney to take hold of the public relations. The laws are based on the insider trading with the focus on the conviction that includes the trading on the information with the focus over the evidence related to the 45 records and the phone calls in between the individuals (Baker, 2016). The Rajaratnam has also told the employees for covering the evidences with the insider trading with the confidence related to the challenges for the prosecution to prove and handle the forms with the prosecution under the market closed. Galleon liquidated with the stock and the profit generation where the government has several key witnesses from the insider trading rings. The cooperation with the investigators is about the agreement wi th testifying against the Rajaratnam. The prosecution is based on the corruption and handling the standards with the challenges related to the actions with the implications related to the public equity offering (Raghavan, 2013). The new is about the government forms with the insider trading to handle the rings with the forms that include the rectification against the Rajaratnam. The convicts are about the insider trading which includes how the government had proven about the information where one could receive and acquire mainly through the insider sources (Jung, 2014). The information standards are set with the focus on the Galleons public announcements, with press release and the investor meetings. The acquiring, analysis and the making of the calculated predictions is based on the client investments with the access to the corporate executives. Here, the loss of money or the trading of the government is based on the inside information. Conclusions This relates to the facts which includes the forms where there is an illegal trading and the negativity is set. The company can cause to close with the decisions based on the choice of how one gets effected. The tasking and the using insider tips are related to acquiring of the wealth with the forms where Raj could have been able to maintain and work on the ethical state of mind. The commitments are based on how to handle the income for the company in a professional and the ethical manner (O Neill, et al., 2008). Here, Raj could have also worked on the methods to work on the Needham and Co., where one works to handle the execution in a professional and the ethical manner. The methods need to build and work over the analysis where one should not be worried of the different standards and the forms. Reference List Agapova, A. and Madura, J., 2013.

The better part of the colonists feared that their property would be taken away because of unbearable tax earnings and the lack of opportunity to fight taxation. In 1767 The Townshend Law was announced. This law was regulated colonial trade and tax collection from them. The UK administration abused the rights of them as Englishmen. This was due to the fact that laws in England claimed that someone may not be taxed if he or she does not have a voice in the government. This gave rise to fear and anger that came from the free government that Britain had over the colonists. This continued until the war began. During the pre-revolutionary years, the British government introduced a number of laws on taxation. Nevertheless, the war amongst France and India was a struggle among Great Britain and France, which lasted from 1754-1763. This again aroused indignation among the colonists, because of debts, the United Kingdom began again to demand everything from the colonists.Since 1764, the United Kingdom began to strengthen control over the American colonies through acts. The Sugar Law was adopted to increase the duty on foreign sugar imported from the West Indies. The UK adopted a currency law prohibiting colonies from issuing paper bills or bills due to the belief that the colonial currency devalued British money. In addition, in order to continue to support the British soldiers remaining in America after the war, Britain passed the Quartering Act in 1765. It was the 24th March when Britain passed the Law on Quartering Act. The reason for the quartering act of 1765 was at increasing the incomes of the British colonies in America. This became the source of disputes among some colonies and Great Britain in the years before the revolution.The British soldiers settled in the houses of the colonists. Just why the colonists had to arrange and feed them. The significant legislative act, which really violated the colonists, was the Press Act, adopted in 1765. This law required that stamps be purchased or included in various subjects and documents, such as playing cards, legal documents, newspapers and much more. This was, in general, the first direct tax that Britain imposed on the colonists. Events began to escalate with the passage of the Townshend Acts in 1767.The resolution of creating these taxes was to help colonial officials become independent of the colonists, giving them a source of income. It was this act that led to clashes between British troops and colonists, which caused the notorious Boston massacre. When the British soldiers opened fire on the crowd, showering them with ridicule. Several people were killed. The army was hurried out of the city. These unfair requests led to tension and anger and led the colonists to claim, as well as to the war of independence. Moreover, this led to the identification of evidence of unfair British control in all other countries. India was another country subjected to British dominance.India was subject to pressure like colonists. Many aspects of social life and religious beliefs were declared illegal by Britain only because the English considered them disgusting. In addition, the British also imposed unfair taxes on India. When they began to establish their supremacy over the provinces in India, the tax on salt grew very much. The salt tax blamed the Indian people for basic human need and forbade them to make their salt. These taxes were strict for Indian citizens and were severely condemned by them.Despite public protests regarding the salt tax, it continued to be in force from 1835 to 1946. While this tax was not abolished by President Jawaharlal Nehru.On the 4th July in 1776 the first colony to declare independence and on the 19th July all the 13 colonies declaration of independence. However, after declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776, the war would last for five years. England deployed an army of 300 thousand people. To suppress the rebellion of the American colonies could not collect an army of 55 thousand people, the best British commanders, and naval commanders rejected the kings proposals to fight with the Americans, the people looked at the campaign, so the king was waging as a fratricidal war.The complaints and protests against British pressure and control arose not only among the Americans but also among people living in British India. This fact proves precisely that British rule is irrational and unfair. The main outbreak of complaint, protest, and condemnation was the cause of unfair taxation and pressure with it on the colonists.
