Abstract
This paper contends that theater can be dangerous on a variety of levels. The paper presents Plato's main concern, that art distracted otherwise reasonable people from using their reason to rule the other faculties. This concern appears to be a prominent feature in the dangers posed by the theater as expounded by Artaud and Boal. Artaud's theater concentrates mainly on the psychological aspect. It places people in touch with the primitive and instinctive to the detriment of reason. While the advantage here is that repressed emotions are revealed to be examined and possibly healed, it is also possible that a permanently broken psyche may result. The paper discusses Boal's theater, on the other hand, that poses a variety of levels in terms of both danger and healing. There is a psychological aspect that may be seen as similar to Artaud's theater. At the psychological level, Boal also addresses the subconscious in terms of dissatisfaction. In extreme cases, this may lead to a breakdown between the desired state and the state of dissatisfaction. The mental and physical aspects of danger are detailed in the paper.

From the Paper
"The theater is probably the medium of art by means of which the most prominent of social sentiments can be depicted. Furthermore the theater lends itself to a variety of forms, including the highly experimental. One of the most recent evolutions in theater has been including the audience in the setting and theme of the play. Indeed, among the most modern thinkers is Augusto Boal, who takes this paradigm a step further in allowing the audience to actively take part in the creation of the very events within the play. The idea that art in whatever form could pose a danger to society and its way of life originates with Plato, whose main concern was with the art of poetry. Plato's thought was embedded in the politics and social structure of his time. According to him, then, the danger of poetry lay in the fact that it could distract citizens from their duties as citizens in the Republic. The role of poetry during Plato's time then was more or less the same as the role of theater today."

Abstract
This paper presents a rhetorical analysis of Sandra Hughes' CBS news item, "MySpace: Your Kids' Danger? Popular Social Networking Site Can Be Grounds For Sexual Predators." It aims to move beyond the implicit and relatively superficial review of the text to a fuller understanding of how the text creates meaning, how it helps the reader to construct knowledge and how it sways us to take action. The paper specifically looks at how the language of this article works.

From the Paper
"Visually, the story is arranged as a headline, a smaller-font secondary headline, and then twenty-two paragraphs, this for a story containing not quite 650 words. Immediately below the headlines, half of the reading column is taken up by a graphical image showing a computer in silhouette with transparencies of several young children, mostly girls, and several of them using cellphones. Below the graphic is a quote, suggesting the danger the article warns of. The effect of the graphic, the quote, and the headlines is to draw readers to the story that follows, a story that opens with three suggestive vignettes about children being approached in a sexually explicit manner on the Internet. Two of the three teenage girls described in the opening vignettes were murdered."

Abstract
As we enter the last half of the first decade of the twenty-first century academics are still trying to determine what threat constitutes the greatest danger to the global community Some individuals believe that terrorism with the massive loss of human life that can attend it and the chilling effect it can have on civil liberties and on the willingness of people to engage in honest debate is the greatest threat the international order will confront. Others believe that overpopulation may constitute the greatest threat over straining our fragile ability to provide for all our citizens especially those reared in poor nations. This paper argues that it is the gap between the rich and the poor that presents the greatest threat to the global community.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify some of the possible risks associated with the use of cellular telephones. The paper is organized into four sections: An introduction which examines the existing literature on the topic and a methodological approach for identifying the likelihood of potential dangers. The second section discusses the results of the research. The third section states the conclusions that were reached from those findings. and the fourth section lists some recommendations for future research. Also included is an appendix containing the research instruments used in this study.

From the Paper
"Of the 200 survey instruments sent out to the study participants, 100 completed forms were returned for analysis. The final sample consisted of 50 oncologists and 50 neurosurgeons. All 100 respondents indicated that they were aware of the current research on the potential dangers of cellular telephone use. However, only 90% stated that felt there was enough evidence to draw any firm conclusions about those risks (88% of oncologists believed this and 92% of neurosurgeons believed this). Twenty-eight percent of the total sample indicated that they felt able to give a general assessment of cellular telephone health risks."

Abstract
This paper explains that the plays Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie" both demonstrate that parents can damage their families when they most desire not to hurt them. Next, the author discusses how both the protagonist parents, Miller's Willy and Williams' Amanda, drown themselves in lies and dreams in their desires to strengthen their families. The paper concludes that these plays show that parents do not always recognize what is best nor do they always know the way to make their lives better but rather indirectly destroy their families. The paper includes quotations.

From the Paper
"Willy and Amanda do not intentionally set out to be detriments to their families. They have the best intentions but that is simply not enough. In Death of a Salesman, Willy has good intentions, but he chooses to believe the lie that things will get better for him tomorrow. He tells his wife, "The trouble was that three of the stores were half-closed for inventory in Boston. Otherwise, I woulda broke records." He admits, "people don't seem to take to me" and they laugh at him. He also states that the people he works with "just pass me by. I'm not noticed". He knows the truth but he simply cannot bring himself to believe it."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer argues that diet pops are so dangerous for one's health that it would be better if people just ate sugar. The writer maintains that even though sugar is bad for people's health, it is not as bad as the aspartame in diet pops. The writer shows that there is much evidence to support this. As demonstrated in this article, there is also evidence to show that aspartame is not bad for people. However, the writer claims that if this evidence is examined one finds that the evidence may be biased. The writer explains that this is because some research is paid for by the diet pop companies.

Abstract
This paper discusses how counselors and therapists should avoid establishing or allowing the establishment of dual relationships within the context of their professional capacity. The paper points out that this is not only an ethical imperative with respect to the client/patient continuum but also extends to dual relationships among patients in group therapy settings as well as relationships between coworkers and colleagues.

Abstract
An analysis of the dangers of obedience in younger generations. The author discusses the influences on obedience from adults and peers and the issues and controversial debates about adolescent obedience.

From the Paper
"Everyone in the country of the United States of America faces authority and obedience everyday of their life. Adults come upon authority and obedience every day whether it be from a boss or being the boss with their children, teens and adolescents look to other teens and peers for their guidance and their sense of obedience. Adolescents find their authority and obedience in groups which can be healthy but can also be dangerous depending upon what groups they choose. Church groups, school clubs, and after-school clubs are considered by the public to be positive groups to join during adolescent. Gangs or groups who do drugs, have sex, and listen to hard-core music are considered by the public to be negative groups to join during adolescents."

Abstract
This paper discusses two positions that are suggested as being the most dangerous; the Air Force's Special Operations and the Air Force's nuclear corps. The paper asserts that the dangers involved are considered both reasonable and acceptable given the fact that the US military is an all volunteer corps. The paper posits that these positions contribute to social utility and the special operations are finally deemed to be the most dangerous position in the Air Force because it places the members in direct danger on a more regular basis.
