Reid technique

For the peer reflection project, I interviewed Alexis Dowdell about the time her family adopted her cousin, Rochell. I thought this process was very interesting. Interviewing someone I never spoke to before was new. Even though this was a different experience, I was not nervous or overthinking about the right approach. I felt the right approach to interview Alexis was to be myself. We were both going through the same process, so I knew how it felt being interviewed. I also felt this process was…

Research Reflections: For me, conducting and taking part in interviews has always been a stressful affair. Whether it was for a position on band leadership, part of joining a program, or for one of my classes, interviewing has never been an activity I was confident with. However, while conducting the interviews for this project, it was much more open and much less stressful. Whether it was because I controlled the interview questions, or whether it was because I knew them, I didn’t feel the same…

After the infamous September 11, 2001 attacks, the White House made torture its secret weapon in the war on terror.

From personal experience, I can admit that I do not retain the greatest interview skills - I shake uncontrollably, I demonstrate high anxiety levels, and I find it challenging to think on the spot. For me, the questions, themselves, do not represent the stressor, but rather, the stress comes from knowing that the individual in front of me retains the ability to control my future career.…

these countries continue to torture if it’s not effective. With that information in mind, President Donald Trump, told CNN in an interview that he is in favor of torture and “we have to beat the savages” (Trump). Trump believes that the outdated techniques of torture are still effective and he will approve of torture. In the past, the lack of views and policies made it easy for the torturers to get away with their actions. Nowadays a political figure cannot be in favor of such action and simply…

What would you do if someone you knew brother/sister or child was being held hostage and the person that captured them won’t tell you where they are unless you give them $5,000,000? Well for one, I doubt if many people have that much money just sitting around. And secondly don’t think the criminal will tell you he/she is keeping your loved one if you just say please. According to Michael Levin’s “The Case for Torture” torturing the individual might be the best option to get information out of…

they were captured behind Nazi lines. Although, this quotes central idea is applicable to the administration of interrogation techniques as well. Imperatively, the quote explains that brute force is comparable to subtle, often inconspicuous, techniques and should not be discarded as impractical.
