Does national security override free speech? In the case of Snowden, Manning and Assange, they each leaked classified documents to the public under the name of free speech. Is this actually classified as free speech? According to J.S Mills, if it doesn’t cause physical harm to a populace, then it is classified as ‘free speech’ and so the leakage of government documents is allowed in accordance to Mills’ theory on free speech. Mills does not include psychological harm to anyone in his definition…

Term Project Paper: Understanding Family Secrets For our project, we have decided to take a closer look at the topic of family secrets, and more specifically at the four different types of family secrets. Family secrets involve information purposefully hidden or concealed by one or more family members. The four types of secrets are sweet, essential, toxic and dangerous. Galvin, Braithwaite, & Bylund (2015) describe sweet secrets as those that protect fun surprises and they are time limited.…

Today as technology continues to advance, the growing concern of cyber terrorism has became an essential factor to the United States infrastructure and US-CERT (United States Computer Readiness Team). Presently, China is the leading force of these attacks against the United States in attempt to steal top secret information and data to improve their economy. In his article “ The code not taken: China, the United States, and the future of cyber espionage,” Adam Segal (2013) writes about the…

Throughout my life I’ve known plenty of people, and quite a few of them ended up being rather toxic. This particular debacle began over vacation on the cusp of autumn. My sister and two of our friends were together on a trip to Newport, Rhode Island, and on the two hour car ride there, one friend, I’ll call her A (I don’t want to use any names), threatened to reveal a long-time secret kept between her and another of my friends who was also my boyfriend, J, which had the codename of “Muskrat.”…

In this research we will examine participants in an interview about their ideas on some inmates and about their sentences and for the charge they had. To do this we will use the In-Depth Interview to get my information and using the labeling theory to help me find my answers. My hypothesis is finding out if people care about what types of punishment is handed out to certain sentences and if people believe some punishments are harsher than others. We do believe that people will have many…

However, what one needs to consider is that by publically leaking classified information is that the enemy too will also be able to access said information. While she was charged with 22 offences she was found guilty of all but two, making that 20 charges. Because proven guilty, she was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Since the incident she has seen a drastic reduction of her original sentence, allowing…
