Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the compelling documentary, "Capturing the Friedmans" and describes that this film is about a middle-class New York family, who appears to be a functional, happy family on the outside. The writer points out that on the inside something quite different is going on.

From the Paper
"Interestingly enough, the filmmaker, Andrew Jarecki set out to make a film about the top children's party entertainers in New York City. He met one of these entertainers David Friedman, who worked as a clown, and another story began to unravel before his eyes. David is the eldest of three sons of Edith and Arnold Friedman, and all existed in a seemingly typical Jewish family. "

Abstract
The paper shows that captivity narratives written by early settlers of America succeeded in conveying unfair stereotypes about Native Americans. These narratives recorded the captives' physical, mental, and spiritual experiences. The paper examines the reasons for these abductions, circumstances and experiences of those who were abducted, with a specific analysis of how the autobiography "Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" perpetuates the conveyance of stereotypes about Native Americans.

From the Paper
"Throughout the history of Colonial North America, Native Americans have been portrayed as evil and heathen in many ways. The Native Americans were depicted as evil and soulless; a race beyond any reason that delighted murder of innocent Christians. One such way is through the writing of "captivity narratives," whose purpose was to record the captive's physical, mental and spiritual experiences as they journeyed through the unknown. Captivity narratives also served a purpose in that they led to reflection on the meaning of life and helped shaped the expectations of any other unfortunate settlers who might find themselves in captivity at some time (Ebersole 20). These accounts of captivity became stories to be told and retold in order to reflect upon the situation forced upon the captive and, for the Puritans, to reflect in God's grace at having delivered them from the hands of these "savages." These narratives were unfortunately never objective or neutral in any way, as they always portrayed Native Americans as creatures with no souls whose sole purpose in life was to distribute pain and suffering to those who were God-fearing; they were thought of as instruments of the devil. In this way, captivity narratives succeeded in conveying unfair stereotypes about Native Americans that have not (until recently) been overcome."

Abstract
In the paper, different types and processes of motion capture are explained in detail, along with a history of motion capture development and a discussion of what the future of this rapidly evolving technology holds for these three industries of filmmaking, video games and sports.

From the Paper
"Motion capture, motion tracking or mocap, is a technique of digitally recording movements for entertainment, sports and medical applications. Where filmmaking is concerned, motion capture refers to the technique of recording the actions of human actors and using that information to animate digital character models in 3D animation. Motion capture has its origins in the pioneering photography work of moving images conducted by Eadweard Muybridge in the late ...th century, but the first individuals to analyze human and animal motion with video was..."

Abstract
This paper use the documentary film, "Capturing the Friedmans", to define and examine the documentary film genre. The paper analyzes "Capturing the Friedmans", and discusses what the family's home movies reveal about contemporary American family life and the dynamics of the family relationships.

From the Paper
"According to Bill Nichols, every film is essentially a documentary, but true documentaries, as opposed to wish-fulfillment fictions, represent a unique genre of film that engages with the world as it exists in reality. Nichols says that the documentary engages with the world by representing it in one of three ways. First, documentaries offer a likeness or depiction of the world that bears a recognizable familiarity. Secondly, these films stand for or represent the interests of others. Third, some documentaries may represent the world..."

Abstract
This paper defines terrorists as people who use violence for the purpose of spreading fear rather than for the physical results of their actions to draw attention to things they perceive as wrongs that must be righted by society. It points out that two main causes of conflict in the Middle East are the conflicts between Israel and Palestinians and the conflicts between fundamentalist religious groups and more moderate religious groups. It also discusses how it is impossible to predict the effect of capturing Osama Bin Laden because, although his capture would be a tremendous morale boost, his followers are fanatical and the capture of their great leader might trigger a new wave of violence.

From the Paper
"The Irish Republican Army, or IRA, has used a variety of ways to fund their operations. In one example December of last year, both the British and Northern Ireland governments believe that the IRA was behind a bank robbery described as "spectacular" in the media. In this bank robbery, thirty-eight Euros were stolen. That's nearly $50 million in American dollars. The British government says that the IRA made multiple attempts to launder the money using Mafia-like approaches, such as filtering the money through legitimate businesses. In the huge manhunt that followed the bank robbery, the Irish police seized over 3.5 million Euros, including the equivalent of 2.3 million pounds, all in cash, found with one businessman in Cork, Ireland, in February of this year. This arrest shows the ties to businesses for laundering purposes."

Abstract
This paper looks at the documentary "Capturing the Friedmans" from the point of view of what constitutes the typical American family. The film is the story of a father and son arrested on child molestation charges stemming from the discovery of pedophile literature sent to the father, and stories from children to whom they taught computer usage to in their home.

From the Paper
"On the surface the Friedman's were a typical American family; father, mother, and three sons living in a middle-class Great Neck, NewJersey neighborhood. The father was a respected, award winning teacher, the mother, a homemaker. Then one day the police intercepted a piece of pornographic mail on the way to the father from the Netherlands and the typical American family ceases to be if it ever was. This is the subject of the documentary "Capturing the Friedmans". It is hard to define a typical American..."

Abstract
The paper outlines one of the main underlying premises in "All The Rules: Time Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right", that is that the normal evolution of the typical dating relationship does not lead to an offer of marriage and that by altering her approach to relationships with men, women can improve the chances of a marriage proposal from any given relationship. The paper highlights the gender-based sexual moral standard in today's Western society and argues that instead of liberating women from the unjustified and prejudicial sexual double standard, the suggestions offered in connection with securing marriage proposals actually do the exact opposite by encouraging women to play into preconceived stereotypes and attitudes that ensure their continued social and sexual inequality.

From the Paper
"In "All The Rules: Time Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right" (Fein & Schneider, 2007), the authors present comprehensive dating advice for women with the intention of improving their chances of securing a marriage proposal from men. One of the main underlying premises of the thesis is that the normal evolution of the typical dating relationship does not lead to an offer of marriage and that by altering her approach to relationships with men, women can improve the chances of a marriage proposal from any given relationship. In truth, the book is little more than a contemporary reformulation of the age-old advice that women play "hard to get" predicated on the metaphorical theory that one who has access to milk for free has little incentive to buy the cow."

Abstract
This paper consists of two three-page essays covering how there can be improvement in how law enforcement captures and convicts violent criminals, and how criminal analysis is making strong headway in predicting- although not always totally accurately- crimes, criminals and even geographic location. The paper points out, however, that good as modern forensic science and psychological testing may be, they are far from perfect, and an improved means of communication and full-scale analysis is needed.

From the Paper
"American prisons are overflowing with criminals- some with non-violent crime histories (sale or use of drugs, white collar crimes), but many with hardened and violent criminals who were captured, tired and convicted. Despite overflowing prison cells, law enforcement is not succeeding in ridding our communities of all the violent criminals who deserve to serve time behind bars. One major problem is the belief held by many, that minorities are subject to more arrests and convictions based merely on their being a minority. Racial profiling often plays a part in the apprehension of criminals."

Abstract
This paper discusses the critical issues and factors to be studied closely in order to formulate a successful market entry strategy. If we want to capture the Vietnamese tobacco market, it is important to, first, study all the economic, legal, and social factors that can affect the success of the product in the long run. The country is undergoing economic change, and its social conditions have changed significantly. This can prove favorable to new entrants, provided the new companies enter the market with a sound strategy.

Abstract
The paper explores the issue of benign surveillance and the ethics of capturing customer data and analyzing it to find new strategies to get customers to buy more. The paper also discusses the unethical practice of reselling the information captured from Internet-based marketing campaigns. The paper shows how consumers have become increasingly concerned that their data will be sold without their knowledge, leading to identity theft and junk mail. The paper focuses on the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and examines the strategies of consumers to protect their identities.

Executive Summary
The Ethics of Analyzing Data Obtained Through Benign Surveillance
The Ethics of Creating Strategies Using Data Derived From Benign Surveillance
An Explicit Requirement for Transparency and Ethical Use of Data
Benign Surveillance and Consumers Rights: Interpretations of the 4th Amendment
Opt-Out Options Needed from Data Collected Through Benign Surveillance

From the Paper
"The ethical issues of whether benign surveillance is a commentary of a modern high-tech society or a precedent for ethical misconduct and harm to others is discussed in this paper. There are also the considerations of how data captured and stored in data warehouse is used by programmers and management analysts in the devising of selling and loyalty program strategies (Albrechtslund, 63). The ethical considerations of using data warehouses and data marts constructed from data accumulated through benign surveillance requires an entirely different set of standards, practices and processes (Danna & Gandy, p. 374, 5). The ethics of strategies based on data obtained through benign surveillance have conflicting assessments (Ess, p. 220, 221) that highlight the polarity of the use of online data and enterprise-class predictive analytics software applications to ascertain customer segments and understand their preferences."
