    to discover Greenwald’s personal interests as the author states it out right, discussing these matters and his beliefs of their importance outright. Glenn’s beliefs are echoed in the words of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis when Greenwald quoted a statement in a case where Brandeis remarked that “the right to be left alone is the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by a free people”16 this essentially summed up what appears to be Greenwald’s core view of Snowden’s case. Having an awareness that Glenn was this kind of person is likely part of the reason that Snowden was adamant that Glenn had to be involved when Snowden chose to become a whistleblower. Upon further analysis of Greenwald’s ideology, it appears that much like Snowden he had within him this western value approach to situations showing a clear interest in pursuing the subjective ‘right’. Interestingly enough, between the lines there appears to be a consensus amongst Snowden and Glenn that none of this is subjective and that rather these truths and moralities are entirely objective with some end goal approach of ultimate truth and goodness all clear indication of biblical influence that seemingly runs rampant in influencing western society. On privacy Greenwald discusses how the belief in true lack of privacy leads to a change in behavior and natural expressions stating in regards to this that “all oppressive authorities – political, religious, societal, parental – rely on this vital truth,…

    The Drone Phenomenon Glenn Greenwald uses a 2012 New Stanford/NYU study on drone usage by the American government to justify his article, claiming that the presence of drones “terrorizes men, women, and children, giving rise to anxiety and psychological trauma among civilian communities” (Greenwald 2012). Greenwald defines those affected by America’s drone campaign as systematically terrorized. This drone campaign is a result of a one-day attack on America that now has started a “never-ending”…

In the article “Limiting Democracy: The American Media’s World View, and Ours,” Glenn Greenwald argues that the American government, along with media outlets, controls the amount of knowledge available to the public.

    Greenwald said, “His ten days of hospitalization were becoming an enormous strain on both of us, but especially on Barb, who spent most of her days and nights there alone. I would make the trip to the hospital each night after work and on my days off” (Greenwald 18). Much like Vahan’s situation, the Greenwald’s son was the victim of many complications to the body that required full attention and compassion. Both Vahan and the Greenwald’s showed selfless behavior by exhibiting their compassion to…

    Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, and Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, each played the character portrayed as mentally unstable. The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close…

    website, Betty was in an upper-income family due to her father’s patent medicine business. The Rochester City Council denied her driver's license because she was only thirteen years of age, although, they did not yet a minimum driving age.

    Another delicate nuance that I would like to consider about her marriage. In order to remarry she should probably discuss it with her only son, who by the way was the prince and could have his father’s throne. Neither the movie nor the text do not speak about it, but if we try to picture the possibility that they might have discussed her marriage, Hamlet definitely would oppose to her marriage plan, which after all Gertrude ignored, or perhaps she did not discuss it with Hamlet which she had…

    This is why they are known to be the "fathers of modern aviation." Thanks to the Wright brother, World War I was the first major conflict that airplanes were used on a large scale. At the beginning of the war, planes were very basic. The very first powered flight was back in 1903 when the Wright brother flew their own design. The first crossing of the English Channel was in 1909 by Louis Bleriot. (History.com) So it is safe to say that in 1914, airplanes were still very crude. It was not until…
