“Real, unreal what’s the difference? As long as you don’t get caught”

- Trickster (Brainscan 1994)
Brainscan was great nineties film starring Edward Furlong (Terminator 2 1991) and the reason the film really interested me was because it laid bare this vital truth about films and videogames and most media really that is they’re all about murder.
My hypothesis is that sex and violence has been around since the dawn of time and restricting it’s influence in films and television will do nothing but blind people to what real life and real expression is.
This graph is a depiction of the length of violent scenes in animated ...

The quick trigger of the financial crisis of 2008 was the bursting of the United States housing bubble, which crested in between 2004 (Krugman 43). High default rates on "subprime" and flexible rate mortgages (ARM), started to rise rapidly from that point.

Richard Angelo and the Ethics of Self-Delusion

THE ‘ANGEL OF DEATH’
Abstract

Charge nurse Richard Angelo was responsible for the deaths of at least 10 patients at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York, between 1986 and 1989. A former Eagle Scout and volunteer fireman, Angelo sought to create situations in which he would be seen to revive patients he had brought to the brink of death by injecting them with lethal paralytic drugs. As such, Angelo violated his professional ethics on multiple levels and called into question the very nature of the patient-nurse compact. The Angelo case, and others like it, elicited a reassessment ...

We live in a time where people can socialise/argue/fight online they can visit casinos and virtual strip clubs, they can shop and take tours of places online so what would be the point of restricting video games in terms of their sexual and violent content when films and television use that sort of content frequently and the internet can never be regulated?
My hypothesis is that sex and violence has been around since the dawn of time and censoring its influence in video games will do nothing but blind people to what real life and real expression is. The ...

After reviewing several topics, the population I have chosen to study is the local African-American diabetic population. This population is where I feel the greatest positive impact will occur. Currently employed with a nonprofit hospital, it is evident that many individuals lack health insurance and currently suffer from multiple, uncontrolled chronic medical issues. I have confidence in the fact that through teaching, the cycle of having uncontrolled chronic illnesses can be broken.

Aggregate Details

The aggregate chosen for the Capstone project will focus on the local African American diabetic population. The chosen population, largely located within the city of Ft. Pierce, ...
