Once Hearst was found in September of 1975, she was put on trial and found guilty of robbery and other crimes. The outcome of the case seems to support Kant’s theory; it holds Hearst responsible for her decisions. But, Hearst served only two of her seven year sentence before President Carter commuted her sentenced. She was later pardoned of all crimes (FBI). This turn means that someone believed in her brainwashing defense, but also supports Compatibilism as the other group members were found…

1.) The type of data that the National Security Agency is collecting data for the phone numbers, call location, duration, and times of all calls made each day within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries. 2.)

This scenario…

Finally they both know know how to speak the same language, and the use of the dictionary. All of these thing are relevant in today’s world and the book because they all come frequently. In the world that we live in today, we hold elections every two to four…

Although hacktivism is not morally good , I think non-malicious hacktivism is morally permissible. I will attack Kenneth's third premise that the acts of hacktivism negatively affects the third party by arguing the rising awareness of political issues and enhance security, those the positive effects with good motivations by hacktivists. I will argue the short of justified rights to punish hacktivists to explain that Kenneth is incorrect that hacktivists intentionally avoid taking their…

The day after a long 4th of July weekend for Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey announced the Bureau recommends to the DOJ “no charges are appropriate in this case.” Director Comey’s announcement comes just a couple of days after the FBI interviewed Clinton for 3 1/2 hours.
