Dear Editor: Censorship in public libraries is inconsiderable, unreasonable, and absurd. It must be eliminated from the minds of our town council. If a book is not acceptable for patrons under eighteen, I feel either the patron’s parents or the patron himself should decide so. The town council and the public library have no idea whether a patron is responsible enough to read a book with possible adult themes. Censorship is also ridiculous because most classic novels involve questionable language, or somewhat violent material.
This tended to cause a lot of early complaints. This could negatively impact the effectiveness of the police force if people were this unsure about them.” This source suggests that there was an element of distrust, as the people did not know what the police did, thus the police force’s work was doubled, as not only did they have to combat crime, but they also had to reassure the public that they were not a military force, and that they could be trusted. Therefore, initially this might have led to many crimes being unreported, making the force ineffective. “This source shows the inconsistency of crime prevention in the growing industrial cities in the early 19th century. Where Newcastle had an 'efficient force' other areas such as Liverpool were 'policed by a mix of watchmen and parish constables'.
Censorship is the idea of not revealing ideas and text in order to benefit society. But in many ways, censoring items causes the world to create biased thoughts based on the limited information released. In some cases the world is blinded because they are told nothing to begin with. Historical events such as the holocaust can prove this true. To this day society continues to be censored from ideas by the government and companies that impact our ways of life and learning.
In Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury makes lots of predictions about the future and some of them are exaggerated but some of the predictictions are pretty close to what is happening in the modern world. The citizens in Fahrenheit 451 aren’t allowed to read books because the government banned them so they wouldn’t get too smart, because everyone should be equal. In Ray Bradbury’s, Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury makes numerous predictions about the future, some of which are coming true today such as the importance of technology, people moving so fast they don’t have time for others, and people’s lack of responsibility for their actions. In the book people can’t reading so they sit inside on the couch and watch TV. Today it is almost the same, some people like to sit down and watch TV or play video games more than they like to sit down and read.
“Fahrenheit 451”, Ray Bradbury’s novel, presents a darker image of what the future could be with an eerily futuristic and glum tone. It is a world where there is no individual thought, and books are seen to cause conflicts. “We burn them to ashes and then burn the ashes. That's our official motto.” The firemen who have a responsibility to protect the people, ironically burn books filled with history and thought. The government caters to people’s material needs, and prevents them from thinking too deeply on matters.
9. The Wall Street Journal did not publish the evidence by Markopolos because then people would take it out on them because they did not do the investigation and its because of them they lost there money. 10. I feel that the SEC did not do their job because they should have at least see these transactions and they should have caught him before everyone lost their money. Just because Madoff had good connections with the SEC they still have done some sort of an investigation and at least say they did not see anything than just ignore it because now people are mad at the
The Party that rules over Oceania in the novel “1984” destroyed all books that were published before 1960. The novel states there was a “total destruction of all books published before 1960.” The Party had these books destroyed because it helped their regime into power. They did this because they needed to destroy the memories of the citizens so they wouldn’t question the acts of the Party. To do this they had to destroy the past, hence the destruction of these books. Maione 2 The Party edits documents to favour themselves and hide the truth from citizens.
He believes that it was the role of the government that would keep these instincts in line. If these instincts were not controlled it would lead to war. Hobbes views were shaped by his life experiences during the English Civil War. He believed people were evil and selfish. Hobbes idea that “people orbiting their ruler” leads me to the idea of socialism/communism (Sayre, 2012).
Its main principle is the consent of the subjects to be ruled by the rulers. The Social contract theory set foundation concepts that became the underpinnings of democratic government. The social contract philosophy influenced the implementation of democratic government in many countries and had particular influence on the framers of the U.S. Constitution. However I believe that there are a few laws which are undermining the original notions of the social contract. There are many complex issues but in this paper I will argue that the practices of our government frequently undermine the original notions of the social contract theory.
And promotions are determined by seniority, not the quality of the paperwork. The captain has attended a seminar and to determine how to get the officers motivated to do a better job on their reports. Analysis Using the MARS model of individual behaviour and performance, we have identified the following possible causes of the officers’ unacceptable behaviour Motivation: Officers seem to lack motivation when it comes to doing a good job in reporting, they prefer to rather help people out at fires, accidents and other emergencies. The reason for this lack of motivation when doing paperwork is because there are no financial rewards or promotions for the officers to fill out the paperwork properly. The officers know that even if they prepare an excellent report they will not be financially rewarded and even if they do poorly it will not affect their future promotions or have any other negative consequences.
