region or nation. The fourth pillar is the use of collective defense, which provides the capability of early detection and to incorporate them in the defense strategy against cyber warfare. Lastly the fifth pillar is to maintain and build up the advantage of technological change. Examples would be to improve computer literacy and increase the artificial intelligence capabilities.

In the 1996 case of Leonard v. PepsiCo, John Leonard is not entitled to the Harrier Jet that PepsiCo advertised in their Super Bowl commercial. Leonard is not entitled to the jet because any reasonable person would notice the intended puffery and jest that PepsiCo put into their commercial. In certain circumstances, there are legal issues that arise with advertising, in whether they are, or are not legally binding (Cohen, 2000). In the majority of cases, advertisements are a mere invitation to…

The Navy had asked for a nuclear-powered carrier in each case,” (holloway n.p.). After the Enterprise hit the sea the government started asking for more and more nuclear powered aircraft carriers the Enterprise started the way we build aircraft…
