In order to become an undercover agent, one must have certain qualities to perform the job correctly. According to Gregory D. Lee’s article, “Undercover Operations,” depending on the undercover case, a undercover agent must have certain knowledgeable qualifications. For example, “If a UC operation concerns drugs, the officer must have knowledge about drugs in general, and specifically how they are bought, sold, diluted, transported, smuggled, concealed, and used. They must also speak the trafficker's "language" and know street terminology for different drugs” (Gregory D. Lee). Lee suggested you have to “know thy enemy” in order to have a successful undercover assignment. You must also be able to play the role of the person or people you
A polygraph examiner must have at least a bachelor’s degree. It does not have to be in any specific course of study but, it is highly recommended that your degree is one of four degrees. The four preferred degrees are criminal justice, forensic science, criminology, and forensic psychology. Another degree that will work is one in communications. A FBI special agent also needs to have a bachelor’s degree. An additional requirement is your GPA must be at least a 3.0. At the FBI what area you work in will determine the best degree concentration. A special agent investigating monetary crime should have a degree in accounting or finance. The FBI requires that applicants be at least twenty three years old, but less than
In Jay Heinrichs, “Thank You for Arguing”, the Eddie Haskell Ploy was a rhetorical virtue that stuck out and closely connected to me. When unsure if you will win an argument, the Eddie Haskell Ploy explains, “…preempt your opponent by taking his side” (Heinrichs 65). This not only makes you look like you knew what you were doing all along, but it makes the opposing side respect you more and leave them feeling more cared about and confident in their side. For example, after Jay Heinrich’s daughter used this sly ploy, he stated, “Even though I saw through the ruse, I admired it. Her virtue went way up in my eyes” (Heinrichs 64). This ploy is a classic move that my siblings and I would always pull on our parents. For instance, when I knew asking
In his extraordinary book, Lee the Last Years, Charles Flood gives a rare blend of history and emotion. After Lee’s surrender at Appomattox courthouse, he only lived a total of five years before his death. Some people might think that he was just a general, but the best years of his life were after the war because he changed the minds of the south and he changed education. Even though Robert E. Lee is best remembered for his military campaigns, this is a part of history not told in many history books because he did more than any other American to heal the wounds of the south and he served as a president for Washington College, which was later renamed after his death to be Washington and Lee University.
Faced by recent protests and controversial events, memorials and monuments remembering Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy should be removed from public areas because they were not originally built to honor their roles in the army but rather to convey the message of white supremacy and continuing slavery, and into museums or archives, as well as because of the person Robert E. Lee was. Most of the statues were built in the early 1900’s, during a time of racial segregation and the implementation of the Jim Crow laws. It is no coincidence that most of these statues were built during this time, when whites felt and were indeed superior to blacks. The message was clear that they wanted to maintain white supremacy and subjugate blacks. Eric Zorn writes
In Refuting William Lane Craig, they made a good point of how in the past before we know what caused things like lightning or wind, we would just simply say it was God, also with horrific events it was the mystery of the way God works. But today we have many scientists working on many different hypotheses to figure out more and more on how everything in existence works, thus leaving God more out of any equation of why things do what they do or why they are here. Wouldn’t God want us to not question his existence and to be able to prove to us? Also, why would he make it so that we can explain everything but him?
As a newborn photographer, there's nothing I love more than the opportunity to shoot a newborn with his or her big brother or sister. It's the beginning of a special bond that I get to capture on film for the family to remember for years to come.
The final type of surveillance, Undercover Operations, has a slightly different job when observing an area. In Undercover Operations, an officer typically tries to gain acceptance among suspects of a criminal act. Whereas other surveillance types use various ways to find evidence surrounding an investigation, these Undercover Operations have the ultimate goal of revealing a crime in progress. For example, a police officer may try to earn his way into a gang only to later bust them for any type of offense they can find. All in all, each of these types of surveillance are used throughout the country, serving in their own way
I found the debate between the theist William Lane Craig and his counterpart an atheist Christopher Hitchens very interesting. Craig’s first point was that the number of past events in the universe must be finite. He explains that there must have been a “beginning” and a cause to this beginning. This seemed like a very simple point to make, but after thinking about it I think that it makes so much sense. I don’t think that the universe has just always existed, something had to have been created by a someone. There is also a lot of complexity and organization within nature that I don’t think happened just by chance. It seems to me that nature was designed by some higher power. Craig also points out that our moral values are innate; they didn’t
The worst essay from this semester is Magical Dinners by Chang-rae Lee. Why even have this atrocity on the syllabus? Magical Dinners is very blandly written (almost as bland as the food his family makes). This was made obvious by the fact that nobody in our class was into it and there was silence during the whole discussion instead of lots of participation. Furthermore, the only rhetoric I could find Lee even attempting to use was code grooming, which was highly unsuccessful because the meals that his mom made did not sound good and were unable to grab my attention or appetite. This is illustrated when Lee writes “She cooks an egg for me each morning without fail. I might also have with it fried Spam or cereal or a slice of American cheese,
People use the word okay nearly every day. It is a word that everyone knows and uses due to its vast meanings. To be okay, is what Gary D. Schmidt’s novel Okay for Now really tries to get readers to understand. He poses the question: just what does “okay for now” mean? These answers are found through examining the characters in the store. While, okay can mean many different things, being okay means that the person is in a state where while things are not perfect, but they are tolerable and satisfactory and can improve.
Undercover law enforcement officers are intriguing yet mysterious to most of the general public. Being undercover cover is not like what is depicted in television shows. The undercover officers have specific requires before being allowed to go undercover. They walk a fine line of obeying the law and possibly breaking the laws they are enforcing. These undercover officers must complete rigorous training for different types of “sting” operations and the different hazards the officers may face while undercover. Also being undercover takes a toll on everyday life both physically and mentally.
According to Newman, G. R. (2007), “sting operations contain four basic elements: (1) an opportunity or enticement to commit a crime, either created or exploited by
Undercover operation is one of the most dangerous and stressful task a law enforcement officers most face in his or her career. There are two principal problems that can affect agents working in undercover roles. The first is the maintenance of identity and the second is the reintegration back into normal duty. When a person is undercover there living a double live and have to separate them self from there agency, from friends, family and his or her normal environment. Depending how long a person is undercover and the mission of the operation, the can become depress and anxiety and can those things can lead to mistake. The job of the person who is undercover is to gather the information, evidence and suspects name, date of birth where about,
“To be alike, is to be different in other ways(unknown).” This quote perfectly describes Blanche and Stanley in the play A Streetcar Named Desire. In the drama, A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, a woman named Blanche goes to live with her sister, Stella, and her sisters husband, Stanley. Blanche and Stanley don’t get along and Stanley digs into Blanche’s past and gets everyone to dislike her. In this play, Stanley and Blanche, two very different characters, prove that they have many similarities. Even though it seems so unlikely that Stanley and Blanche could have anything in common, they do. Blanche and Stanley have many similarities that get portrayed throughout this poem. When going over this play, the reader will find out that Blanche and Stanley are alike in the ways of both having messed
In Dale Jamieson’s article “The Nature of the Problem," he thoroughly explains that climate change is a continuing ongoing problem in society. He continues to explain that today’s civilization has done very little, next to nothing to resolve this problem, as it continues to escalate. Firstly, Jamieson argues that the increments of climate change are usually barely noticeable, and even less so because we re-norm our expectations to recent experiences, especially when it comes to “global warming.” Climate change, and Global warming are bound to have, numerous, paradoxical, indirect effects, and many effects on human welfare . These effects are relatively invisible, as these includes the rising of sea levels, increased frequency of droughts, storms,
