The first Alcoholic Anonymous meeting I attended was on February 28, 2016. The time I attended the meeting was at 10:00 am. The meeting was held in the Krasa presentation room, and the size of the meeting was a large group. This was my very first time attending an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. I was very nervous and excited. Although, I had never been to an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting, I did have some expectations of what would be discussed and what kind of individuals I would see at the meeting.…
epidemics in our lifetimes that silence equals a death sentence. It’s far beyond time for those with long-term sobriety to stand up and be counted and show that AA and the twelve steps works! Enough is enough! My name is Kevin, I got sober in Alcoholics Anonymous and through the twelve-step process; I have been sober for the past nineteen years. My dear mother passed-on five years ago with over forty years of continuous sobriety thanks to AA and the twelve steps, my uncle died three months ago…

reminiscing about the way things were and they teach the Newfags the traditions albeit using some of the most colorful language imaginable. (Knuttilia, 2011). Moralfags are those of the type that eventually split off to form the hacktivist collective Anonymous. These people exist in moral ambiguity and operate under the assumption that illegal acts can have morally correct outcomes. This behavior affects their actions on the site. The /i/nsurgent has one purpose: to cause as much grief as…
Orifice software. Hacktivists designed this software for remote administration of a computer system. Back Orifice has enabled Hacktivists to encrypt, code and exploit injustices around the world (“Back Orifice.”). Similarly, the Hacktivist group, Anonymous, influenced the public through internet platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. Lulz Security (a recently disbanded Hacktivist group) worked to eliminate pornogoraphy and warn corporations of security flaws within their organizations (“By…
As the internet’s ever expansive growth continues, the activity of hacktivist groups advances. Although hacktivists have been targeting different governmental websites and networks, their actions are an act of protest and civil disobedience. In addition, the idea of a hacktivist has become misconstrued by the deceived public. The idea of a hacktivism needs to be made more transparent and the actions of these hacktivist groups need to be made more clear and differed from cybercrime or…
paper, I will argue that the group Anonymous aren’t criminals and their actions are ethical. I will argue that this thesis is true from the utilitarianism view; they are hacking for the good of the people. Some examples I will include are Project Chanology, Hal Turner, and Operation DarkNet. I will also consider the opposing position that Anonymous are bad and unethical. I will argue that it is mistaken because of misknowledge of the operations and what Anonymous’ purpose is. Also, that hacking…
Anonymous is a group of hacktivists that wanted to expose corrupt companies and businesses while starting mass awareness and staying unknown. It started out as joke on 4chan, an imageboard website in 2003. They went by the motto “none of us are as cruel as all of us.” Anonymous doesn't have a form of organization or logistics but the way an operation is started is by a member talking to other members about an idea. If they think is a good idea, they will support it. If not supported, the idea…
Not long ago it would have been unimaginable that a group of random people working remotely from anywhere in the world would be able to band together to electronically fight common enemies. However, recently a hacktivist group identifying as Anonymous has risen in power and size with the goal of fighting anyone they deem threatening to innocent people. Their operations and tactics range from gathering and leaking sensitive and/or restricted information from large corporations, to hacking…
