Bethesda Softworks has a complicated history with their two main franchises, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, and their respective modding communities. Mods have always been a large part of the two franchises, mostly because games from either franchise are open-world, sandbox RPGs with dozens, if not hundreds, of ways to play - and that's without mods! Factor
The research topic chosen for this study is based on Digital Rights Management (DRM) and how it affects the stakeholders involved in digital purchases e.g. the content provider, the consumer etc. Current technologies and future trends in the areas of digital copyright security are also avenues of research that are pertinent to the topic. Digital Rights Management is a group of technologies used by digital content providers to control their content and devices for sale. As long as DRM has existed
multiculturalism is generally an assumed good. Increased acknowledgement of diversity and cultural sensitivity seem to be steps toward leveling the playing field for all human beings. And that is the goal of much scholarship and activism, right--to secure and ensure human rights across the board? That is one of global feminism’s aims, so it would seem that multiculturalism would help, not hinder, feminist work to better the situation of women. That is not necessarily the case. It may be helpful to first
implications than the prima facie façade multiculturalism suggests. Instead, there is a “deep and growing tension” (Okin,1999; p10) between the ideals of feminism and those concerned with the protection of cultural rights. This tension is exacerbated when the protection of those rights safeguards the continuation of practices such as female genital cutting (FGC) in the name of ‘culture’ and ‘tradition.’ Every culture is dynamic, complex, and rich in its own ways. However when cultures come together
The dilemma presented through this case involves the debate related to elder suicide or the “right to die’ (Ghillyer, 2014). The case presents the subject, an older individual, with troublesome health concerns of removable skin cancers and prostate cancer (not currently at an advanced stage). At the time of the case, the health issues are taxing but not currently life threatening (Ghillyer, 2014). The subject predicts the issues may force personal relocation and care could become burdensome to
available today, but one of the oldest and one that is currently in use is the Zachman Framework produced by John Zachman. This framework offers benefits and has limitations as well. One other framework will be compared to Zachman’s, which is The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF). Each framework will be described along with various terms that need to be clarified. In the end, it will become clear that an organization may best be severed by taking the best aspects of various frameworks and
scenario, enclose some ethical implications that can possibly emerge, as well as, some ethical responsibilities to clients, and ethical responsibilities to colleagues. Scenario I’m currently co-facilitating a group for men who are dealing with their sexuality. There are some members in the group that are admittedly gay, while there are others who typically struggle with
either right or wrong, therefore one cannot establish that something is “better.” In “The Challenge of Cultural Relativism,” James Rachels introduces the topic by introducing Darius whom is a king of ancient Persia. Darius visits different societies, he observed the differences between the Callatians and the Greeks. One major difference that struck the King was the honoring of the dead. The King asked the Greeks if they would eat their dead, just
The main focus of this group was to investigate any un-American propaganda and led the crusade of anticommunism. This group took extreme measures. They claimed that many celebrities were Communist Party dupes. They even went as far as charging an eight-year-old movie star, Shirley Temple. Even after losing credibility for
idea of a closed campus. I, on the other hand, am on the behalf of an open campus. An open campus gives the student more freedom and responsibility to make the right decisions. As opposition, the closed campus concept would argue that not all or any of the students should receive such trustworthiness from the school. I think that not all but a select group of students should have the open campus opportunity. Another matter with open campus is money issues in many areas in which I will discuss. As time
with the British rule was their lack of regard for colonists’ rights. In response to England’s treatment of them, especially when it came to “taxation without representation,” the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence called for the protection of man’s rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This eventually came to include the right to free enterprise and free and open markets as part of the liberty and pursuit of happiness. Every
the people in the free software community began using the term "Open Source Software" instead of "Free Software". At that time, I was working for Sun Microsystem for one of the "Open Source Software" project -- localization of Mozilla. Sun Microsystem is one of the biggest system company in the "Open Source Software" community. a) Difference between "free software" and "open source" Comparing to "Free Software", the term ``open source software'' is associated with a different engineering approach
For those who are a part of the adoption world one of the most hotly debated issues is whether birth records should be open or closed to adoptees. With this issue comes strong feelings on both sides. In most states adoption records are fully sealed and inaccessible, unless the adoptee petitions the court. In 16 states these records are fully or partially available upon request with no court involvement, and also may depend upon when you were born. In a few states records are completely prohibited
In 2013, a study taken by Open Doors, a group that works against Christian persecution worldwide, showed that the number of Christians killed for their faith had nearly doubled since 2012. The number of Christians killed in 2013 was 2,123, whereas the number in 2012 was 1,021. While religious persecution may not be as much of a threat in the United States, where religious freedom is celebrated, this persecution occurs around the world to many different groups – even ones considered a majority in
From a Right’s theory perspective, animal rights activists argue that “everything that occurs in animal agriculture harms animals or their interests,” (CAST, 2005, p. 5). Animal rights groups believe that animal agriculture should cease to exist since there is no way to avoid harming animals in the process. Another way to look at this ethical dilemma, is to consider
reviews. Due to the rise of human rights groups, governments that have been accused of heavily using torture have come under heavy scrutiny. Torture is a gruesome act, with the main goal of inflicting utmost pain on a person, usually as a punishment or to force the recipient to divulge vital information. Most people who criticize torture point out that it is a gruesome thing to do, notwithstanding who the victim is. Hence, a state or an individual do not have the right to deliberately hurt another human

Race relations are always a scary or uncomfortable topic for people to discuss amongst groups of different ethnicities and racial identities. It is a long standing tradition in the United States to walk a fine line and use politically correct terms in the above mentioned setting but to feel perfectly comfortable to speak freely when in a setting surrounded by likeminded people who share similar political affiliations and race. This is the main reason discussions surrounding the idea of race are
“The phenomena of closed and open-mindedness are at the heart of the interface between cognitive and social processes. Every intelligible judgment, decision, or action rests on a subjective knowledge base held with at least a minimal degree of confidence” (Kruglanski, 2004). How come it is that there are people who seem to make continuous progression in their personal and professional lives, while other people are cursed to repeat their same mistakes continuously? While the feedback is not cut and
A Case for Open Borders In his address to a joint session of Congress on January 8, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson declared freedom of the seas in times of peace and war. Looking back, it seems ridiculous to think that anyone could challenge the right of individuals to navigate the oceans freely. However, fast-forward to the twenty-first century and we can see an analogous debate over the issue of immigration rights, with territorial borders being the main topic of discussion. The system of
