The attention economy can help to explain the powerful effects of being watched on the way humans understand, conform to, and deviate from what’s normal.And this, in turn, gives us a way to make sense of the Tide Pod challenge and other internet phenomena, such as the video log.

  • Kamdesh Battle Analysis

    1925 Words  | 4 Pages

    The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Battle of Kamdesh and provide an alternate outcome based on the utilization of intelligence and intelligence assets. Many battles could have had a different outcome if they would trust intelligence reports without needing to validate the intelligence with another source or simply have other intelligence assets available. The Battle of Kamdesh was certainly one of those battles. The battle started just before 0600 on October 3, 2009 on Combat Outpost (COP) Keating and nearby Observation Post (OP) Fritsche in the Kamdesh district of Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. About 70 Soldiers of Bravo Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, along with 30 Afghan National Army Soldiers (ANA), fought an enemy force of about 300 Anti-Afghan Forces (AAF) fighters. (Nordland, 2010) The battle took place in the Consolidation II portion of the Operation Enduring Freedom Campaign in Afghanistan. The AAF likely

  • The Undercover Parent: Coben’s Spyware Logic

    645 Words  | 2 Pages

    To begin with, many parents look for a connection with the author when it comes to subjects dealing with children and privacy. Coben’s targeted audiences are parents of adolescent children. Coben says “Loving Parents are doing surveillance here, not faceless bureaucrats” to slowly unhook any minds that aren’t already on board with spyware. The mention of pedophiles, porn, and teenage drug use are emotional appeals that will reach out to parents. Coben does well with identifying his audience but fails to establish credibility. In some cases Coben was being unrealistic, take for example a “Straight A” teenage girl sleeping with her dealer and using drugs are going to get parents attention but the reaction of the father may make them falter in reasoning. Not many parents in their right minds would calmly go to their daughter and just talk, there would be more yelling and rebelling involved. People need the truth just writing it off and down playing a serious situation as an after school sitcom will cause people to los...

    In 1985, television was a platform to use for educational purposes and entertainment. It did teach our youth that teaching and learning could be both fun and educational. With new developing technologies, it is only natural for our culture of education to develop. Although the format of education changes, change is not a bad thing. I see images, video, music, and all media as tools for our youth to learn. Making viewers and users aware of the impacts is necessary to inform the generation to

    Redemption is a capacity that both Amir from the remarkable novel Kite Runner, written by Khaled Hosseni along with Walt Kalwoski the main character of the unforgettable movie Gran Tornio, directed by Clint Eastwood, withhold. Both Walt and Amir were collided with life changing events that later shaped the individuals they are today. Nevertheless, throughout both stories, the protagonists are faced with opportunities to redeem themselves, often at the risk of hurting their loved ones more than they already have. “There is a reason for everything” and in Walt and Amirs case that saying is quite evident. Walt and Amir are two completely divergent characters with opposite personalities. However, this doesn’t interfere with the fact that both carry the weight of guilt and regret upon their shoulders. In spite of that, both characters atone to their faults by PUT POINTS HERE. Kite Runner and Gran Torino, both, break the ice with introducing the characters and efficiently showcasing their complications. As mentioned earlier, Amir is the protagonist of the novel. Typically, a main character that discusses their problems in the opening of a novel, catches the readers attention, let alone makes the reader them self feel sympathetic for this character. However, Amir is far beyond that statement. Amir expresses his feelings about his relationship with his father, Baba, and his shenanigans with Hassan. Amir struggles with his selfish conscious. Nevertheless, his adult view point when recollecting memories of the past, reminiscing on childhood events, isn’t as different. Running away is the one thing Amir tends to be best at. Running from his problems, people, past etc, As for Walt, Walt Kowalski is the main character of the film Gran Torino. ...

    Children are naturally curious about fire. In the course of their childhood almost every child will experiment with fire at some point. Although curiosity is a primary motivation for younger children, it should be noted that curiosity can also be a reason why older teens set fires. Whether or not a child actually sets fires depends on a variety of factors, including their exposure to fire and the availability of fire supplies. Although some children who set fires are unaware of the potentially tragic consequences of their actions and are simply curious, others are fully aware of the ramifications of their actions and p...

  • Laughing at Pain

    One of my favorite shows growing up was Tom and Jerry. Every time Tom got hit by a pan or crushed by bowling ball or burned on a stove I couldn’t help but laugh, never thinking about the violence behind Jerry’s actions. Shows like Tom and Jerry emphasize humor, one of America’s most valued virtues, but also expose children to aggression at a young age. This slapstick comedy has long been a part of children’s entertainment and society in general. Popular culture exposes children to humorous violence that desensitizes children and increases bullying and aggression.

    Children's T.V shows use cartoon characters and action figures as celebrity figures to entice the kids to watch the show. This happens with fast food aswell, big corporations use characters on happy meals and kids meals to entice them to tell the parents to get them some. In the article If You Pitch It, They Will Eat It, David Barboza shows this problem, disney has teamed up with McDonald's to try and boost profits. Disney and Kellogg's collaborate on a line of cereal as well(32).  The corporations do this because most of the customers are young kids or young adults.

  • Factors That Influence Identity Essay

    720 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is no doubt that parents can have an influence on children. It is very crucial for the parents to make the right choices as those choices will influence their children. The family environment, such as religion and politics, influences children into creating a certain type of identity. If a child is raised in a Catholic house, then the chances are that the person’s religious identity will be Catholic. The same type of concept applies to politics. As the person grows older, they may alternate their identity from what they were taught when they were young (Mahalihali). When a person chooses a different identity from that of his parents or family, another identity is created. An example of this phenomenon is described when a teenager chooses to be a homosexual which clashes with their family identity. Society might label this type of behavior as unruly, which will then have an effect on the social identity. Some people might try to avoid people with a bad social identity in order to keep their good identity intact (Deaux
