Daniel O’Brien is the head writer and creative director of video for cracked.com. He wrote an article on his website (leading up to his book “How to Fight Presidents”) and found out the hard way that you should not google the weaknesses of a living president without expecting a visit from secret service agents who are immune to the charms of comedians. O’Brien has been with the website Cracked since 2007 or as he claims “before they were cool” (O’Brien). Comedians who read O’Brien’s article…

1. What clues caused Jane to suspect that fraud was involved? The first clue that Jane came across as suspicious was that some of the checks did not have a complete endorsement from the collectors. This would be suspicious because if a check was cashed without having the necessary endorsements there must be a breach in the company’s internal controls. After looking further into the situation Gus and Jane notice that along with the endorsement problem the signatures of several different…

Meredith Kressen Bobby Howard PHIL 2203-001 Fallacies in Popular Culture In 2001, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert were both cast members of the hit television show, The Daily Show, which airs on Comedy Central. During one of their segments titled “Even Stephen” the two poked fun at each other while either arguing extremely for or extremely against a certain topic. The video I have chosen to analyze was an argument regarding the topic of a patient’s bill of rights. Although there are many…

Recently, the PCAOB has advocated for mandatory audit frim rotation. However, if implemented, this change would unduly burden many accounting firms. With the passage of Sarbanes Oxley in 2002, the coordinating audit partner and the reviewing partner are required to rotate off a particular audit every five years so that the engagement can be viewed more skeptically . This practice has been shown to work, and any deviance from it will surely produce negative consequences, such as a decrease in…

The social constructionist perspective on human sexual identities hold that sexual identities are entirely socially created (Cherlin, p182). The kinsey report is a 1948 book by Alfred Kinsey detailing the results of thousands of interviews with men about their sexual behaviors. His findings on homosexuality shocked the country because half of all men in his sample admitted to having erotic feeling…

Post World War II, the Homophile movement was consciously disavowing openly homosexual acts in attempt to shift the attitudes of social majority by shaping an image aligned with –philia (fondness and love) in opposed to sex (Suâarez 127). Meanwhile, filmmakers under the scrutiny from Motion Picture Production Code were made to abide by the rules of “don’ts and be carefuls”, unable to employ passionate, sexual, and “pervasive” scenes in the plot (Mondello). During this time, Kenneth Anger made…

The delicate topics of prostitution, pornography, and sexuality can cause a controversial barrier between society, which can furthermore lead to the destruction of ideal social constructs. In this day and age, societal norms are pushed down the throats of society so when something quite new and out of the ordinary is…

Through the years I experienced, ignorance, injustice and discrimination by my family and including at my Pentecostal Church. Probably they didn’t understand or they didn’t want to talk about sexuality, including sexual issues, gender, sexual orientation or sexuality as a multidimensional (Thorson-Smith, p. 232) spectrum. My life and human sexuality were replaced by worship and church, always with spiritual disciplines. Discovering my sexuality changed my whole life affecting my ethics and…

The counterculture movement of the 1960s reflected an American society that was self-serving and un-patriotic to some, but to others, it was a reflection of a liberating and pleasure-seeking America. There were clear distinctions at this time between the “old” and the “new”. Baby boomers rejected the cultural standards of their parents because they wanted to pursue their own versions of happiness, but their parents’ generation believed that they were destroying the democratic ideals that…

Thank you for your kind letter of November 22, 2017. I do not intend to argue with you in this forum over the relative good faith of the parties regarding any aspect of this case. The record demonstrates that, despite the best efforts of Escondido Trafalgar, the ownership of Blast Enterprises, Inc., has taken a series of conflicting positions, which positions have thus far stymied the progress of the renovation of the Shopping Center. Mr. Colleran’s outreach to Blast Enterprises was a courteous…
