Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman examines outside influences on the individual. These influences include society as a whole, the family as a societal unit and beliefs which the individual thinks he should espouse. In order to understand Willy Loman and the struggles with which he is dealing, the society in which he exists must first be understood. He is relying upon a slightly different set of values and motivations than everyone else seems to be, and this sets him apart. A prime example of the rest of society is Willy’s brother, Ben. In sociological terms, Ben is a classic representative of the old, 19th century middle class, while Willy represents the new, dependent, salaried, pathetically other-directed middle class. Ben’s character is clearly inner-directed… While Willy stresses the importance of personality, of being ‘well-liked’ and acceptable to the world, of pleasing others, while insisting on proper form, dress, manner, and style, Ben ignores all of this. (Martin 56) Willy is looking to the rest of society for guidance, to see how he needs to act in order to be successful by their terms. Yet he cannot fully let go of the belief that his way of trying to “please all of the people all of the time” is right. Society is made up of people like Ben who are focused on getting ahead. It is an industrial society which is quickly expanding; people have to move quickly to stay on top. They do not have time for the old ways anymore. Willy has been working for…

Law enforcement use less-lethal weapons to maintain order and apprehend criminals with minimal casualties. Law enforcement use non-lethal weapons daily, and civilians often encounter health issues…

it worked. Electromagnetism is now the focus of this childlike obsession, as it is as equally fascinating to me as the outlets were to the person of my youth. The Office of Naval Research has a department dedicated to electromagnetics research called Code 35, Naval Air Warfare and Weapons. The specific area within the department I would like to pursue is the electromagnetic railgun development. Currently the Navy is working to create a 32 Mega-joule railgun that can fire at least 10 rounds of…

Also victims who carry a concealed weapon are more likely to be shot in a confrontation that a victim that does not carry. Policy brainstorming: Based on the summary points above, what do you recommend be changed or implemented? Do you want there to be a law put in place – where will the law occur? Do you want to start a new tax – who or what will be taxed? Do you want an educational program to be created – in what setting will the education be conducted? Include at least 2 plausible ideas…

Fast and Furious 7 VS Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation While it’s been three months since the release of Fast and Furious 7, action thriller fans were excited for the opening of Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation this weekend. There’s no doubt that both franchises have different plots, but other similarities between the two movies are very obvious. The fight scenes action and weapons, the fast cars chasing and crashing with other cars, advanced technology, and the stunts are the most…

day. These children would not likely have access to these weapons if the owner of the gun stored it how it should be and unloaded it. Gun control may be able to prevent these irresponsible things to happen to such young and innocent children. One little girl picked up a parent’s handgun and accidentally shot and killed her own mother not realizing what she had done. Parents may not be irresponsible as a parent, but as a gun owner there may need to be gun control around more households and in…

elimination of the right to bear arms, and the prohibition of many common firearms.”(Mexico Gun Control). Mexico thinks we are the reason they have so many illegally obtained guns and that by having similar laws there problem would be fixed. Really only around 10% of the illegal guns in mexico are from the U.S., and even if they did all come from the U.S. having similar gun laws would not stop the problem. The criminals would figure out another way to obtain the weapons and then it would be…

and it would make it harder for civilians to defend themselves if needed. Prohibiting guns would fail in preventing criminals from getting weapons because they are already obtaining them illegally; therefore, disposing of guns would give the criminals of America a greater advantage against the unarmed civilians. “If you take guns away from legal gun owners, then the only people who would have guns would be the bad guys” (Bruce Willis). The Founding Fathers of the United States put in place 27…

Argumentative “You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are gonna find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It’s not the law-abiding citizens, it’s not the person who uses it as a hobby” (Steele). There are around 100,000 victims of gun violence each year (“Brady Campaign...”). Action needs to be taken so Americans don’t feel unprotected going into a public environment. By…
