Describe what happened and what you learned from it?” and “How do you take advantage of your…

Jessica Wolfendale discusses what permitting torture would involve realistically in her work Training Torturers: A Critique of the “Ticking Bomb” Argument.

Through the many interviews that I have conducted, this interview was different in many aspects because I had the honor to interview one of my friends. Described by me as hilarious, outgoing, load, and a wonderful friend I discovered that despite the fact that I knew how to describe her there were some things I did not know about her. The friend I interviewed was Gbeminiyi (Gbemi) and throughout the interviewed she surprised me with some interesting things about her. I got to open the door of…

For others, it can cause extensive anxiety, particularly in the pressing aftermath of an already nerve-racking interview. To lessen that anxiety, you can always look back and consider just a few key points that will ensure a better interview in the next point in time.

The questions started with the basics such as age, gender, what medications they are currently taking, and then got…
