According to him, the constant spreading of fears of just about anything and anyone is benefiting some large corporations as well as the authorities in place. In his view, America is controlled by fear. New waves of terrors and potential social alienation are penetrating the collective psyche, happily exacerbated by the corporate media. No wonder that Americans feel so vulnerable when they are fed daily by the media with horror
Certainly these changes were massive, quite abrupt and differed drastically from the norm; however that does not necessarily make them bad. Except, that is how they are viewed by many historians today. The historian N.Reeves believes Akhenaten was unsuccessful, but more in his religion reforms. 'For ordinary folk, there is little doubt that Akhenaten's actions as king over time inflicted the greatest misery: the people were confused by the man's religious vision, frightened by the ruthless manner in which it was imposed and quite likely appalled by his personal behaviour.'

A terrorist threat/ attack and a nuclear threat are real attacks that still go on today in our country and our people are scared of. In my opinion both of them are alike. They make the government have to evaluate everything that is going on and it deters the economic growth in our community, on this causes the government to take advantage of their view of defense against an upcoming attack. A war and an attack such as 9/11 are two different types of attacks. And these are attacks that people will forever remember.
Juan Williams properly wielded quotes and visually exciting words that captivated the audience. He appropriately shows both sides and makes sure that he doesn’t cast to large of a shadow over the opposing position. What was also nice about this piece was the amount of examples that showed that even though Obama has his flaws they are no better than the Republicans that are flinging “flip-flop” and “hypocrital politics” which shows the reader Williams’ belief that Obama is using cool tactics to lead a country in trying times. Williams’ opening and closing compliment and summarize his position on the Obama administration and gives order to the piece. William is also a credible and reliable source for information regarding politics since he is featured as a Fox News political analyst and writes for many large national newspapers such as The New York Times and The Hill and including national magazines such as Times.

I personally believe that both William Safire and Alan Dershowitz have a good argument. Dershowitz is pointing out the positive aspects of having National ID cards while Safire points out the negative. I agree with both of them. I think that the ID would give us more security and would make me feel safer about what goes on around me everyday. I do also believe that it would be a gateway for law enforcement to be able to exploit people more often and pick on them because of something on their record.
The people of Salem are constantly focused on maintaining public reputation and the thought that your friends sins could disgrace their own names was a concern by many. This theme is shown by various character throughout the play.
