For my interview, I asked my neighbor if she wouldn’t mind being interviewed about her life and health history. She didn’t hesitate with a “sure, I’ll gladly sit with you and talk!” We decided to do this interview over Sunday dinner with our families. I explain to her that at any time she needed to stop, or didn’t feel comfortable answering questions to let me know and it was perfectly okay. However, I soon realized that was not going to be a problem because she talked to me like she was an…

Military Torture Our military and government should be allowed to interrogate and torture anyone at anytime if it could save American lives. Any technique of torture such as waterboarding should be legal. If our military was given permission to do whatever it takes to get a terriost to talk we could save many lives and possible stop future attacks and maybe end a war. I believe enabling our military to torture terrorists in any would be beneficial to our country. A pro of military torture…

image I have set up for you is one of the techniques written in the torture memo on how to deal with the terrorist and fight the War on Terror. When the memo got leaked it created controversy among Americans to see how this alleged prisoner where being tortured. This incident caused many questions to arise.

2002 memo otherwise referred to as one of the “torture memos”. The torture memos expressly justified the use of EITs to elicit information from detainees. EITs included, sleep deprivation, entomophobia exploitation, and waterboarding. These severe techniques were provided legal cover because the torture memo defined torture to be pain “difficult for the individual to endure and… of an intensity akin to the pain accompanying serious physical injury such as death or organ failure” (Greenberg 106).…

Torture, when most people think of this word, they think of terrible acts being done to people. What most often disregard is the fact that the people that are being tortured have deserved it. I do not say that lightly. People that are being tortured are people that have done unforgivable things such as; murder, rape, terrorism actions and a list of other items. These people do not deserve to be in prison, because although not a comfortable living environment, prisoners are still provided with…

s the use of torture against terrorist suspects ever justified? The idea of torture is probably one of the worse things that I could ever imagine. I am a strong believer of treating others how I wish to be treated, that being said I understand that not many if any share my thoughts on that matter. The simple fact stands that to me torture no matter if the victim is a terrorist suspect is not ever justified The United States may have captured many person who they are accusing of being a…

amount of time before a bomb goes off. The truth of the matter is that these “ticking time bomb” scenarios are a myth, and almost never actually occur. Under the Canadian constitution and international law, using torture or enhanced interrogative techniques is illegal. This means that Canadian authorities can never participate in torture, and that Canada must never be complicit in torture committed abroad. Despite torture being illegal, Canada has been guilty in handing prisoners over to…

Who did you interview and why did you select this individual to interview? For the informational interview, I interviewed my mom, Beth Martens. The reason I chose my mom is because she is an elementary school teacher and has been for about 15 years. Throughout her years teaching, she has taught at two different schools with three different positions between those two schools. As a teacher, she has experienced many ups and downs, such as awards and principle changes, which have all shaped her to…

Narrative Interview My mom had only told me little things about her college experiences, just a few stories here and there, the occasional frantic phone calls to her mom, and some about the friends she made. So when I decided to sit down and interview her, I was generally curious on what she would tell me. I had been contemplating the questions I would ask her while I was waiting for her to get home from work. After she had gotten home and I was satisfied with my list, I sat down and started…
