Abstract
This paper explains how the Cuban missile crisis contributed to the ultimate cold war between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union. The author takes the readers on a tour of the crisis and why the U.S. placed much of the responsibility on the former Soviet Union even though Cuba was the nation who threatened the U.S. with a missile attack. 3

Abstract
This paper details the events that led to the 2001 Patriot Act, which increased the rights of law enforcement organizations while diminishing the right to privacy of American citizens. The writer of this paper examines various laws and acts passed over the years which were implemented to give the U.S. government the right to curtail its citizens' basic right to privacy and free speech. This paper discusses the Sedition Act of 1798 which gave the federal authorities permission to prosecute any person who was suspected to be plotting against the government. The writer contends and explains how the government has been trying to collect personal data about individual American citizens by way of the Social Security Administration. This paper discusses the government's intention to exchange and merge all available governmental databases in order to obtain the personal data of all American citizens. This paper also examines the recent restriction of public access to documents normally available under the Freedom of Information Act, which has led government officials to start denying public access to documents, for no apparent reason.

From the Paper
"Along with the Patriot Act, there has been a restriction of public access to documents normally available under the Freedom of Information Act. This has led the government officials to start denying public access to documents even when they have no real reason for doing so. The printing office of the government has destroyed the government records in over a thousand libraries where they were being stored, and information from the Internet has been removed by 15 government agencies. As early as 1st November 2001, President Bush had blocked the release of presidential papers as per the Presidential Records Act of 1978, even though the demand had been made before 9/11. Homeland Security Director has not testified before the Congress, and his example has been followed by other members of the Bush team in all situations even when the testimony was not related to national security."

Abstract
A discussion of the pros and cons of surveillance in the United States, looking at whether more surveillance for protection against terrorism outweighs intrusion of one's privacy. The terrorist attacks on 9/11 saw an increase in surveillance and new laws passed concerning wire-tapping. The three characteristics of surveillance technology used to describe its various aspects, amplification, re-utilization, and sublimation are examined. The author investigates whether surveillance is ethical and if it could really have prevented past or prevent future terrorist attacks.

From the Paper
"When Orson Wells wrote his famous novel about government surveillance taken to the extreme, the world he described seemed very unrealistic. However, at the turn of the new millenium, the world that he describes is not so different and it seems as if we are just one step away from the "thought police" knocking on the door. For some this gives them an extra-added element of security, but others see it as a serious infringement on their freedom.
Today, we are watched in a variety of ways. Every where you look, you see video cameras recording our every move. Wiretaps are frequent and devices that transmit over the air such as cell phones are easy targets for those trying to hone in on our private affairs. The government monitors our email and web surfing activities, our bank accounts, credit card accounts and almost anything else you can think of."

Abstract
This paper describes the reality TV show "Big Brother" as a twenty-four hour display of humanity living in a social group environment The author stresses that this show is not reality because the participants are in an elimination contest to win $500,000. The emotional baggage the contestants bring to the group living environment, combined with the range of personalities, tends to make human beings look very bad. The paper traces the history of reality TV and concludes that these shows present a society that has surrendered its right to privacy altogether.

From the Paper
"Anyone who thought that reality TV was a phase that television viewers were going through, and one that would fade as quickly as it debuted, is no doubt sadly disappointed these many years later following the debut of the first reality show, "Survivor", which demonstrated how shallow and nasty cold human nature could be. Still, that show, like "Big Brother", it, too, has survived since 2000, and audiences show no sign of growing tired of the increasing number of reality shows ranging being the object of Donald Trump's abuse, to a group of young women competing for some cow herder's affections."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the themes of good and evil in the book "1984" by George Orwell. By understanding the concepts of good and evil in this story, we can see the nature of this dualism in the fight between the workers and the Big Brother system. By analyzing the definition of what is good and evil in the story, the main themes of Orwell's world can be seen in today's world.

Abstract
The paper relates that the value of total quality management in relation to customer satisfaction is evident within Harley-Davidson, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the U.S. Postal Service, for all three organizations strive to improve customer satisfaction through the implementation of total quality management principles. The paper posits that although the application of TQM is similar in each organization, the means through which they provide customer satisfaction differs because Harley-Davidson primarily sells products, the United States Postal Service primarily sells services, and Big Brothers Big Sisters operates in a non-profit environment.

Abstract
Using philosopher, Michel Foucault's "Power/Knowledge" as a lens, this essay discusses the striking similarities and subtle differences between the novel "1984" by George Orwell and the play "The Coffin is Too Big for the Hole" by Kuo Pao Kun.

From the Paper
"Just as the Panopticon and the society in The Coffin have the element of surveillance, Winston suffers a similar ordeal as the phrase "It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time" suggests. As mentioned by Foucault, "[a]ll that is needed is to put an overseer in the tower" (Foucault 147). Undeniably, Big Brother, the face on all posters and telescreens in Oceania, himself fits this role of a constant eye on the people, as evident for instance in the slogan "Big Brother is watching you" (Orwell 3)."
