Current Death Penalty Sentences: Arbitrary
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. In light of the definition of arbitrary, if the death penalty was outlawed for being capricious based on the lack of guidelines, it stands to reason that current death penalty sentences fit the definition of arbitrary. One only need look at the most recent episode involving a potential death penalty case where a teenager knowingly took the life of another human being but is being tried as a juvenile without possibility of death. In essence, the decision to arbitrarily impose the death penalty upon only one of two individuals who both committed the crime of murder simply because one is over eighteen years of age speaks to a wholly subjective and illogical judicial system. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Current Events : Gun Control
[ send me this essay ]
In 7 pages, the author discusses gun control. The topic of gun control is not a new one. It has been the focus of the nation for years, and this focus is increasing. With the presidential primaries that have occurred as well as the general election in November, this topic has become more of a political one with the express views of the candidates being important to the citizenry. Some citizens are pro-gun control and others are anti-gun control. In the wake of all of the campaign information and the pro-gun vs. anti-gun proponents, however, one must understand that lives are continuing to be lost because of the lack of gun control in this nation. This is evidenced when picking up a magazine, journal, or newspaper today. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Cybercrime
[ send me this essay ]
This 8 page report discusses the fact that the “consensual hallucination” (a term coined by science-fiction writer William Gibson) of cyberspace must, of necessity, include a “consensual” understanding that the realm of cyberspace is no less vulnerable to the negative aspects of human nature such as deceit, fraud, and theft. In many ways, the opportunity for criminal activity in cyberspace is heightened due to its very nature which supports anonymity and a certain freedom of action that few people would ever act on in their “real” lives. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
