Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, details about the assassination have been uncertain for the last 40 plus years due to the fact that many of the tapes with information and evidence have been tampered with, and so many legal experts and scholars, and historians have refuted a lot of the information published on the case and deem them unreliable (“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, due to the irregularities and ...

Introduction There is plentiful evidence that America needs stronger and more comprehensive gun control laws. There have been hundreds of thousands of shooting deaths in the United States since the 1990s, when the gun control laws were supposedly strengthened. Mass shootings have been going on for years, at schools, churches, shopping malls, theatres, and other public places. These mass shootings are usually caused by high caliber firearms that pose an overt threat to public safety. There has been a documented increase in the number of women in domestic violence situations who have been shot to death in the last ...

With the recent surge in mass shootings in the both the United States and overseas locations such as Paris, Munich, and Istanbul, and the fact this is an election year, the debate over gun control seems to have resurfaced. There does not seem to be any middle ground when it comes to gun control. Americans either strongly support the second Amendment right to bear arms, or they want guns banned. There are many viable reasons for banning firearms in the United States. Some of the strongest reasons for gun control are the disrespect for authority; they encourage gang warfare, ...

Introduction

Over the past couple of decades, poverty prevention advocates have become aware that it takes more than just emergency services to alleviate poverty. While such sources of aid as rent assistance, food stamps, food bank provisions, utility assistance and the like can help a family subsist from one month to the next, they do not help families escape the poverty cycle and move up to a better standard of living. As Hutson (2004) noted, “social service providers have increasingly recognized that families seeking assistance often face multiple, complex needs and that they require the services of more than one ...

Asimov’s three laws of robotics suggest if we take proper precautions, it may be possible to allow artificial intelligence to exist in today’s world.
