The Benefits And Obstruction Of Use Of A Middleware Software
Some Background
A common problem with modern game development, is the often–overwhelming choices available to a developer, and the cost in a 'wrong' decision.
Choice can devastate a small team months into development. Middleware software can be an asset to any team when understood correctly, however,
many are poorly documented or hobby projects that don't have regular upkeep.
RakNet is a Networking Engine, developed around 2005, and now an open source tool that can be used to set up a networking game with little effort.

Cost & Acquisition
To the benefit of the gaming industry, RakNet, as of March 2015 has become an open source tool on GitHub after Oculus bought RakNet (Oculus VR
2014). Allowing indie teams to now use, and has made producing multiplayer software much easier for anyone to do.
Small Teams new to the game design, no longer need to worry about licensing the library and work on providing the product they want to provide.
Since the purchase, development of RakNet appears limited, the software itself appears bug free and the reported bugs that exist seem to have forks in
the GitHub repositories.
Advantages of use
RakNet is a flexible networking engine that treats the users time as precious, keeping 'bookkeeping' to a minimum, such as storing connected IP's,
storing a GUID for connected users, pings, dropouts. This frees development time to work on the project. Alongside the minimal approach for users,
the engine is well documented with explanations and examples of how to set up certain situations a user may need. This includes plugins designed
alongside the general development of RakNet, to give them a superior level of function then something that people may make to work alongside

Linux And Microsoft Operating Systems Essay
Abstract
Linux and Microsoft operating systems have been developed and marketed in two very different ways. Microsoft has become synonymous with
monopoly and substandard software, while Linux is based on free, open source and the concept of open standards, full disclosure and sharing.
Microsoft attempts to discourage consumers from using the Linux solution by suggesting that the operating system is less than perfect, yet it remains
blind to its own operating system's problems existent within Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.
It's a well–known fact that Microsoft dominate the software market despite these facts. Are they operating within legal and ethical boundaries? And is
it possible that they could fall from grace because of this?

Proprietary systems, such as DOS, Macintosh, VMS and MVS, traditionally have had nothing in common, and vendors and systems integrators have
had extreme difficulty porting applications among them.
UNIX is an open system, and has recently seen quite well established market gains, and there are several reasons for this. Above all, it is solid,
dependable, standard and scalable. Workstations are becoming popular and competitive with the ascendance of NT. Popularity is also due to the fact
that it's open source В– В‘Companies in the US that are already using open source operating systems plan to use it on almost 23% of their desktop
machines by January 2002. Open source software will run more than 34% of their company's servers by 2002.' (USA Today 06/01/00)
While companies like IBM, Oracle, and Netscape have begun to integrate their business model with open source, many traditional software companies
continue to focus on purely proprietary solutions. In the web server space, Microsoft's complete denial of the open source phenomenon is almost
amusing. The Apache web server has more than 50% of the web serving market according the Netcraft survey (http://www.netcraft.com/survey,07/01

Self–awareness and the locus of the self–knowledge development: a comparison study to investigate developmental sequences using semi–structured
self concept interviews.
ABSTRACT
This study examines the view that self–awareness gradually develops with a shift from physical to psychological characteristics whilst the locus of self
–knowledge progressively transfers from others to the self. Previous research implementing semi–structured self concept interviews to investigate self
descriptions amongst young children of various age groups supported these findings, underpinning the theories of a gradual emergence and elaboration
of the self as a subject and the self as an object of knowledge. In the current study, a comparison ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Rosenberg's (ibid) findings indicated that younger children tend to describe more physical activities and characteristics whilst this gradually develops
to include relationships and interpersonal traits, eventually shifting to more inner qualities. Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The Open University, 2010,
pp. 21–22) also found that the locus of self–knowledge gradually shifted from a reliance on another person as point of reference for judging
themselves, towards the self.
This study intends to investigate, and confirm, the findings of Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The Open University, 2010, pp. 21–22) by analysing
transcripts of semi–structured interviews with two children aged eight and sixteen. This was done within the meaning of investigating the development
of the self concept and the locus of self–knowledge.

Technology And The World Wide Web Essay
The rapid world of technology is quickly changing the way knowledge is learned, and taught. Those who have access to the World Wide Web have
new ways of exploring the realm of education from all directions instead of retrieving knowledge from traditional places like college. However,
college is different because it is not only a place to gain knowledge, but also an environment that prepares students for the real world. In Davidson's
paper, she believes that we need to change the way higher education is structured and adapt techniques that are already integrated within open source
media, in order for students to be equipped for the technological global environment. Instead today's education is only preparing them for a Taylorized
industrial age labor market. Davidson poses a new paradigm for the way we perceive modern education. She introduces three principles that are used in
open source media that applicable to higher education. The three principles that online platforms support are, 1) an openness of contribution, 2)
elimination of boundaries, and 3) voluntarism in the distribution of knowledge.An openness of contribution of knowledge permits anyone to share their
intellect with others, regardless of their educational background and it also welcomes everybody to participate. Secondly, by eliminating structures and
boundaries on the correctness of knowledge, allows generation of new perspectives and not constricted by prior knowledge. Thirdly, by creating a

Definition Essay On Open Relationships
Have you found yourself asking, "What is an open relationship" or "Are we in an open relationship?" If so, hopefully it isn't because you agreed to
such a relationship without understanding what it really means.
If you and your partner want to have a successful relationship (open or not), it's absolutely critical to have clarity on your expectations of each other.
This is rarely more important than when committing to a non–traditional arrangement.
Okay... back to the question. What exactly does it mean to have a relationship that's open? The complicated thing is that the term has different
meanings to different people, so take a look at some of these categories and come to a finite agreement with your partner on some open relationship
rules. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A relationship like this may or may not include full disclosure. In some cases, the faithful partner accepts that there will be outside relationships but
doesn't want to discuss it at all.
Swinging
One of the more controversial types of open relationships is the swinger lifestyle. In an open relationship that includes couples dating others, there is
often a focus on "togetherness" in the affairs.
In some cases, the couple dates other couples; however, there are many cases where the couple adds a single third party to the relationship. The
primary relationship comes first, but both partners are open to fully disclosed outside relationships. When this is strictly sexual, a third (or fourth or
fifth or whatever) person may simply be included on occasion.
Swinging exists in a variety of other forms as well. In some cases, there may be a multitude of people committed to openly sharing each other while
forsaking all outside parties.

In the computer and technology book "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It", the author Jonathan L. Zittrain (2008, April 20) wants to alarm
us that the internet world which we think is totally open and ruled by the users all over the world is actually controlled by some particular big
companies and institutions. The openness and creativity of the Internet is a double–edged sword. Under the cover of a bloomed and wonderful

to standardize the industry of the Internet.

the development of personal computer and the Internet in a unique way. He analyses the reasons of the success of the Microsoft company and the
iPhone. Then he explains many of our current technical barriers and bottlenecks using the theory of generative and sterile. By using the examples like

irregular throughout the state (Mendoza, 2010, p. 45; US Government, n.d.). Mexico is constituted as a federal republic with a democratic representative
government (OECD, 2005, p. 23). In economic terms, Mexico is classified as an emerging economy that has implemented strong economic and political
reforms in the last 30 years, but still exhibits strong social inequality and a high income inequality (Bonina, 2012, p. 25; DePersio, 2015). Added to
this, Mexico is also battling corruption by improving government transparency and increasing anti–corruption efforts (OECD, 2005, p. 15).
Furthermore, Mexico is undergoing a process of modernisation reforms in the public administration in which E–government plays a major role (Bonina,

Part 1: Basic Concepts:
Terms:
Free and open–source software (FOSS) is software that is both open source software and free software. This means that it is freely licensed to use,
examine, copy, alter the source code of the software, and the source code it self is openly shared. However, for software to be considered FOSS it must
pass a certain criteria established by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). They determine that FOSS must have a completely free redistribution with no
form of royalty or other form of a fee for the sale (resellers) and the source code must be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Therefore, it falls into the distinct categories of shareware (demo or trial software where you can download it for free but some features are restricted
or to continue to use the software a payment is required) and payware (traditional pay–to–use software) but not freeware (since its free). In all cases
however, the source code is hidden from the users, so that the rights holders (the software publishers) can sell the binary executable (source code).
History:
Commercial software has been around since 1948 (when the first computer which could hold software was created, nicknamed baby). The history of
FOSS has a strong connection with the 'hackers' in Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These hackers in 1970s created something ARPANET
(known today as the internet). There were discussions to sell it commercially however the university and its hackers were strongly opposed to such
an idea for they had worked with the ideology that sharing information is a virtue and they had a moral duty to provide knowledge to the world.
These early hackers stayed true to this ideology and made their software completely free with the source code completely accessible. Richard Stallman
was one of the main people who pushed forward this ideology preventing the university to monetize the ARPANET and the software they created.

operating systems to choose from. Some are created for personal use, some for business use, and some can be used for both. One of the biggest
differences is whether the operating system is open source or closed source. Operating systems are created with programming code. Programmers are

Closed source systems are usually found in personal computers because the level of expertise needed to use them is minimal. There are many factors
to consider when determining which system to use. The level of expertise of the user, the costs of the system and any add–ons, and the flexibility of
the system must all be considered. The type of application also plays some role in the decision. Both types can be found in personal, server, and
mobile applications. However, open source systems are often found more in mobile and server applications.

best linked to the introduction of audiovisual devices into the schools in the early 1900s. With the development of the postal service in the 19th

Rosenberg's (ibid) findings indicated that younger children tend to describe more physical activities and characteristics whilst this gradually develops
to include relationships and interpersonal traits, eventually shifting to more inner qualities. Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The Open University, 2010,

themselves, towards the self.
This study intends to investigate, and confirm, the findings of Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The Open University, 2010, pp. 21–22) by analysing

Persuasive Essay On The Second Amendment
It is a man's right according to the constitution under the second amendment to bear arms. Unfortunately, in the state of California the second
amendment has almost been entirely revoked. Many mass shootings in the state have been on the rise for the last few decades. Consequently, gun
owners along with gun regulations have suffered a mass change in gun control. One of the major changes is the Open Carry Law, were it prohibits gun
owners from carrying any type of gun on their person. These regulations have become extremely strict in the state of California to the point where
openly carrying a firearm has become illegal. With the rise of mass shootings and California being the primary target of such horrific events, it with no
doubt that the carry open law should be reinstated.
The constitution of the United States is made up of ten amendments that give rights to the citizens of this country. Unfortunately, in the state of
California the second amendment has way too many restrictions and loopholes. The second amendment states that "A well regulated Militia, being

The Open Boat Naturalism Essay
Naturalism, the Supernatural, and the Metaphysical in Stephen Crane's The Open Boat In Stephen Crane's The Open Boat, the context of the dinghy
and the four surviving people in it shows the struggle of human nature as well as the need for hope that is a concept often created from dangerous, and
more often than not, desperate situations. The captain, the cook, the correspondent, and the oiler, are embodiments of Crane's fiction about the human
psyche. The sea, which is treacherous, as well as the islands which the characters believe can save them from death from drowning, is a vision of the
reality that is suspended in point of view and is an abstraction of the reflection of Crane's perspective of perception, metaphysics, and the extraordinary
experience. Crane's point in doing this kind of style in The Open Boat is to confront the fear of death by facing it, as described in the interpretation of
its non–human nature. The story opens with the line "None of them knew the color of the sky" (1), and they are described to have come from a
shipwreck. The four characters, each with specific ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The correspondent, who is already the most realistic character among the characters, knows that jumping from the boat would only mean two things:
either surviving and living or drowning and dying. The contrasting elements between these two extremes make the story metaphysical as the

how the correspondent viewed the others, with "full meaning of their glances was hidden" (13) that explains their knowledge of the fate they will face
after the jump from the boat. It is the metaphysics of life and death, layered with Crane's use of naturalism as a

Naturalisn In The Open Boat Essay example
In most traditional happy ending stories, there always appears to be evidence of supernaturalism. However, Stephen Crane leaves out all fairy tale
elements and mystical creatures in his "The Open Boat". Throughout the whole story, there are constant examples of the raw, realistic and indifferent
parts of life. In Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" naturalism is apparent through the use of language, literary techniques, and thematic elements.
First of all, Crane's use of language played a large part in the naturalistic feel of the story. Crane makes sure to use specific phrases and words that
describe things exactly the way that they actually appear. He does not 'butter up' or 'candy coat' their descriptions in order to prevent the reader ... Show

It served as a reminder for the men on board– that their lives could be taken from them at any moment, and it was a mystery as to when they will die
or if they will stay alive. It was the idea that fate was chewing at them at the mercy of the giant powerful ocean. "When it occurs to a man that nature
does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the
temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples." Similarly to what Crane said– nature could care less if these men die, and
it will not change its course just to fulfill the wants of theses abandoned men. It stops for no one.
The dialogue played out by these men as also an important literary technique. They continue to banter back and forth, displaying hope and loss of
hope. There are plenty of examples throughout the story that show the men trying and trying again to regain this hope. They know in the back of their
minds that there is a slim chance that they will survive this situation. Crane uses this realistic dialogue to show these men's emotions, and decline of
confidence. Realistically, anyone who is caught in a situation like this tries to look for any of the positives because they are trying to maintain that

Persuasive Essay On Gun Control
The discussion of gun control has been widely present throughout the recent years. The right to bear arms, stated in the second Amendment, has
increasingly been taken advantage of and has caused significant issues to today's society. This debate has grown immensely as mass shootings have
been more prevalent in the past decade. The most recent and horrifying incident on October 1st of this year when a Los Vegas man, Stephen Paddock,
opened fire from his hotel room onto a country concert killing 59 and injuring 500, reveals that more gun control regulation is a must. Gun control is
an important topic to be discussed considering guns are not only being used to harm what can be innocent people, like in mass shootings, but also used
to harm oneself. Gun violence in the United States has produced a culture that threatens everyone with the fear of accidental death, suicides, domestic
violence, and mass shootings. In 2011, over 11,000 people were murdered with firearms and another 467,300 were victims of non–fatal firearm crimes
(Koper 286). One child under twelve years old has been killed every other day by a firearm (Braman et al. 287). In 2015 alone, there were more than
270 mass shootings in the United States (Braman et al. 287). Among the more than 40,000 people who commit suicide each year, about half of them
use guns to do so (Brocklin). All of these startling statistics not only present the tremendous negative impact guns have on society, but also that the

Organizational environment is not dealt as it is not a part of the external environment.
Open vs. Closed Systems
The whole idea of systems theory was under question in embracing the open systems view which was diametrically against the traditional closed system
view. The traditional closed system relied on the concept of internal efficiency and stability and the organization theorists downplayed the role of the
environment. It was the open systems view which brought the role of environment to the forefront. Open and closed system were held across a
continuum and partially open and partially closed system gained prominence. A typology of object systems is given in Table 2.
It is noteworthy that a super imposition of object systems as such into systems theory of organization is not genuine. The observational phase of
science consists of at least an observer and an object. The behavior of all the objects are contextual and one who looks into the dynamics associated
with the behavior of an object in a particular setting is defined as an observer by the object systems. However, different observers decode the same
behavior in different ways. The same theory argues that process is any activity that involves change which is measured by duration, succession and

typical example of such software companies is the software giant, Microsoft. It sells users the right of using its software in terms of number of
copies. In other words, it requires a separate license for each Microsoft Windows that is installed on each computer. The company originally
designed the software owns the source code. All bug fixes to the software require a long and ineffective reporting process. In addition, you have to

Stephen Crane's The Open Boat
In his short story "The Open Boat," Stephen Crane presents a view of Nature's significance and of men's insignificance in Nature. The story commences
with the crew of a sunken steamboat braving the unforgiving sea in their ten–foot dinghy. Consisting of a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a correspondent,
the crew is attempting to reach either a house of refuge or a life–saving station off the coast of the Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse. Throughout the entirety
of this piece of literature, Nature bestows upon the crew both blessings and hindrances. When the correspondent is attempting to swim to shore near the
end of the story, and becomes unable to handle the current, Nature gifts him with a wave that carries him close to the beach. Crane writes,... Show more

those actions affect others. Even though Billie, the oiler, rowed more than the rest of the crew, he died at the hand of Nature; however, Nature did not
cry or feel remorse for what it had done. The perspective of Nature Crane presents in "The Open Boat" is that people are at the whim of almighty
Nature and that it is apathetic in showing mercy to individual fates; one cannot entirely win when in a fight with nature. In reference to this Crane
writes, "When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him,
he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples" (399). Crane's primary focus on the

Symbolism And Figurative Language In The Open Boat By...
In the short story "The Open Boat," author Stephen Crane displays symbolism and figurative language as an important key element. Such elements
encourage readers to create certain mental images from the figurative language the author provides. The significance of these details can be interpreted
in many ways. Stephen Crane uses many symbols to unify the story's plot, theme, and setting. The first important symbol Crane describes in his story is
the boat the characters float upon. This boat, which seems to be no larger than a bathtub, seems quite small against the vast ocean. As the characters
cling to the boat to survive the dangerous sea, it symbolizes how human life can bob along the world's uncertainties. Crane describes the boat as
"open," which supports the interpretation of how being unprotected can expose people to the unexpected turns of life (Crane 339). The open boat
becomes a sanctuary and reality for the characters; this reality helps them comprehend how little control they have over everything they do. The open
boat symbolism helps convey the short story's theme. The symbol conveys a message of loneliness that comes from the character's understanding of
how insignificant they are in the universe. Underneath the men's rants at fate, they have the egotistical belief that their existence should be important
and have meaning. When the men realize their cries for salvation are not answered, they settle into despair. However, near the end of the story, the
characters new awareness of the universe and the idea of loneliness causes them to become spiritually weary. At this point, all sensations and thoughts
of pain and pleasure lose their meaning as well. Crane also uses the eight cigars as a symbol. "The correspondent...found therein eight cigars. Four of
them were soaked with sea–water; four were perfectly scatheless. ...somebody produced three dry matches; and thereupon the four waifs rode
impudently in their little boat and, with assurance of impending rescue shining in their eyes puffed at the big cigars, and judged well and ill of all

Comparison Of Open Boat And To Build A Fire

Dr. Lauri Carlson
Lit–212–OL2

Comparison of Themes from Open Boat and To Build a Fire:
In comparing two works who share a common theme but present the theme in a different manner is Open Boat by Stephen Crane and To Build a

going to be drowned–If am going to drowned–If I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to

This includes plugins designed alongside the general development of RakNet, to give them a superior level of function then something that people may make to work alongside RakNet.

Microsoft has become synonymous with monopoly and substandard software, while Linux is based on free, open source and the concept of open standards, full disclosure and sharing. Microsoft attempts to discourage consumers from using the Linux solution by suggesting that the operating system is less than perfect, yet it remains blind to its own operating system's problems existent within Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. It's a well–known fact that Microsoft dominate the software market despite these facts. Are they operating within legal and ethical boundaries?

Those who have access to the World Wide Web have new ways of exploring the realm of education from all directions instead of retrieving knowledge from traditional places like college. However, college is different because it is not only a place to gain knowledge, but also an environment that prepares students for the real world. In Davidson's paper, she believes that we need to change the way higher education is structured and adapt techniques that are already integrated within open source media, in order for students to be equipped for the technological global environment. Instead today's education is only preparing them for a Taylorized industrial age labor market. Davidson poses a new paradigm for the way we perceive modern education. She introduces three principles that are used in open source media that applicable to higher education. The three principles that online platforms support are, 1) an openness of contribution, 2) elimination of boundaries, and 3) voluntarism in the distribution of knowledge.An openness of contribution of knowledge permits anyone to share their intellect with others, regardless of their educational background and it also welcomes everybody to participate.

Swinging One of the more controversial types of open relationships is the swinger lifestyle. In an open relationship that includes couples dating others, there is often a focus on "togetherness" in the affairs. In some cases, the couple dates other couples; however, there are many cases where the couple adds a single third party to the relationship. The primary relationship comes first, but both partners are open to fully disclosed outside relationships. When this is strictly sexual, a third (or fourth or fifth or whatever) person may simply be included on occasion. Swinging exists in a variety of other forms as well.

There were discussions to sell it commercially however the university and its hackers were strongly opposed to such an idea for they had worked with the ideology that sharing information is a virtue and they had a moral duty to provide knowledge to the world.

Consequently, gun owners along with gun regulations have suffered a mass change in gun control. One of the major changes is the Open Carry Law, were it prohibits gun owners from carrying any type of gun on their person. These regulations have become extremely strict in the state of California to the point where openly carrying a firearm has become illegal. With the rise of mass shootings and California being the primary target of such horrific events, it with no doubt that the carry open law should be reinstated. The constitution of the United States is made up of ten amendments that give rights to the citizens of this country. Unfortunately, in the state of California the second amendment has way too many restrictions and loopholes. The second amendment states that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". What the second part of this amendment refers to is that the people have the right to arm themselves and no one can deprive them of doing so. The citizens are in their own rightfulness to defend themselves in a life or death situation when being caused by another human being. The second amendment ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 31. The Open Boat Naturalism Essay Naturalism, the Supernatural, and the Metaphysical in Stephen Crane's The Open Boat In Stephen Crane's The Open Boat, the context of the dinghy and the four surviving people in it shows the struggle of human nature as well as the need for hope that is a concept often created from dangerous, and more often than not, desperate situations. The captain, the cook, the correspondent, and the oiler, are embodiments of Crane's fiction about the human psyche. The sea, which is treacherous, as well as the islands which the characters believe can save them from death from drowning, is a vision of the reality that is suspended in point of view and is an abstraction of the reflection of Crane's perspective of perception, metaphysics, and the extraordinary experience. Crane's point in doing this kind of style in The Open Boat is to confront the fear of death by facing it, as described in the interpretation of its non–human nature. The story opens with the line "None of them knew the color of the sky" (1), and they are described to have come from a shipwreck. The four characters, each with specific ...

The correspondent, who is already the most realistic character among the characters, knows that jumping from the boat would only mean two things: either surviving and living or drowning and dying. The contrasting elements between these two extremes make the story metaphysical as the characters have no choice but to follow their fates, regardless of what they do to control the situation and even their emotions. It is fully justified in how the correspondent viewed the others, with "full meaning of their glances was hidden" (13) that explains their knowledge of the fate they will face after the jump from the boat.

  • 34. Naturalisn In The Open Boat Essay example In most traditional happy ending stories, there always appears to be evidence of supernaturalism. However, Stephen Crane leaves out all fairy tale elements and mystical creatures in his "The Open Boat". Throughout the whole story, there are constant examples of the raw, realistic and indifferent parts of life. In Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" naturalism is apparent through the use of language, literary techniques, and thematic elements. First of all, Crane's use of language played a large part in the naturalistic feel of the story.

It served as a reminder for the men on board– that their lives could be taken from them at any moment, and it was a mystery as to when they will die or if they will stay alive. It was the idea that fate was chewing at them at the mercy of the giant powerful ocean. "When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples." Similarly to what Crane said– nature could care less if these men die, and it will not change its course just to fulfill the wants of theses abandoned men. It stops for no one. The dialogue played out by these men as also an important literary technique. They continue to banter back and forth, displaying hope and loss of hope. There are plenty of examples throughout the story that show the men trying and trying again to regain this hope. They know in the back of their minds that there is a slim chance that they will survive this situation. Crane uses this realistic dialogue to show these men's emotions, and decline of confidence.

  • 35. Persuasive Essay On Gun Control The discussion of gun control has been widely present throughout the recent years. The right to bear arms, stated in the second Amendment, has increasingly been taken advantage of and has caused significant issues to today's society. This debate has grown immensely as mass shootings have been more prevalent in the past decade. The most recent and horrifying incident on October 1st of this year when a Los Vegas man, Stephen Paddock, opened fire from his hotel room onto a country concert killing 59 and injuring 500, reveals that more gun control regulation is a must. Gun control is an important topic to be discussed considering guns are not only being used to harm what can be innocent people, like in mass shootings, but also used to harm oneself. Gun violence in the United States has produced a culture that threatens everyone with the fear of accidental death, suicides, domestic violence, and mass shootings. In 2011, over 11,000 people were murdered with firearms and another 467,300 were victims of non–fatal firearm crimes (Koper 286). One child under twelve years old has been killed every other day by a firearm (Braman et al. 287). In 2015 alone, there were more than 270 mass shootings in the United States (Braman et al. 287). Among the more than 40,000 people who commit suicide each year, about half of them use guns to do so (Brocklin).

Open vs. Closed Systems The whole idea of systems theory was under question in embracing the open systems view which was diametrically against the traditional closed system view. The traditional closed system relied on the concept of internal efficiency and stability and the organization theorists downplayed the role of the environment. It was the open systems view which brought the role of environment to the forefront. Open and closed system were held across a continuum and partially open and partially closed system gained prominence. A typology of object systems is given in Table 2. It is noteworthy that a super imposition of object systems as such into systems theory of organization is not genuine. The observational phase of science consists of at least an observer and an object. The behavior of all the objects are contextual and one who looks into the dynamics associated with the behavior of an object in a particular setting is defined as an observer by the object systems. However, different observers decode the same behavior in different ways. The same theory argues that process is any activity that involves change which is measured by duration, succession and co–existence.

Stallman's ideology in free software sharing inverts the mainstream commercial software industry, which consider source code and underlying instructions are companies' private properties. These properties are usually guarded strictly and rarely shared under licensing terms. The most typical example of such software companies is the software giant, Microsoft. It sells users the right of using its software in terms of number of copies. In other words, it requires a separate license for each Microsoft Windows that is installed on each computer. The company originally designed the software owns the source code. All bug fixes to the software require a long and ineffective reporting process. In addition, you have to pay a separate fee for any upgrades to the software year after year. Raise the ethical issue As a result, there are overwhelming criticisms against Microsoft. People view Microsoft as an unethical business entity by creating "monopoly" and using unfair tactics to control the software market as a whole. Although it is important to realize that even Microsoft does not technically fit the definition of monopoly, there is no doubt that it processes tremendous power in the software industry.

  • 39. Stephen Crane's The Open Boat In his short story "The Open Boat," Stephen Crane presents a view of Nature's significance and of men's insignificance in Nature. The story commences with the crew of a sunken steamboat braving the unforgiving sea in their ten–foot dinghy. Consisting of a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a correspondent, the crew is attempting to reach either a house of refuge or a life–saving station off the coast of the Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse. Throughout the entirety of this piece of literature, Nature bestows upon the crew both blessings and hindrances. When the correspondent is attempting to swim to shore near the end of the story, and becomes unable to handle the current, Nature gifts him with a wave that carries him close to the beach. Crane writes,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... His forehead touched the sand that was periodically, between each wave, clear of the sea" (Crane 404). Nature is indifferent to its actions and how those actions affect others. Even though Billie, the oiler, rowed more than the rest of the crew, he died at the hand of Nature; however, Nature did not cry or feel remorse for what it had done. The perspective of Nature Crane presents in "The Open Boat" is that people are at the whim of almighty Nature and that it is apathetic in showing mercy to individual fates; one cannot entirely win when in a fight with nature. In reference to this Crane writes, "When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples" (399).

  • 44. Symbolism And Figurative Language In The Open Boat By... In the short story "The Open Boat," author Stephen Crane displays symbolism and figurative language as an important key element. Such elements encourage readers to create certain mental images from the figurative language the author provides. The significance of these details can be interpreted in many ways. Stephen Crane uses many symbols to unify the story's plot, theme, and setting. The first important symbol Crane describes in his story is the boat the characters float upon. This boat, which seems to be no larger than a bathtub, seems quite small against the vast ocean. As the characters cling to the boat to survive the dangerous sea, it symbolizes how human life can bob along the world's uncertainties. Crane describes the boat as "open," which supports the interpretation of how being unprotected can expose people to the unexpected turns of life (Crane 339). The open boat becomes a sanctuary and reality for the characters; this reality helps them comprehend how little control they have over everything they do. The open boat symbolism helps convey the short story's theme. The symbol conveys a message of loneliness that comes from the character's understanding of how insignificant they are in the universe. Underneath the men's rants at fate, they have the egotistical belief that their existence should be important and have meaning. When the men realize their cries for salvation are not answered, they settle into despair. However, near the end of the story, the characters new awareness of the universe and the idea of loneliness causes them to become spiritually weary. At this point, all sensations and thoughts of pain and pleasure lose their meaning as well. Crane also uses the eight cigars as a symbol. "The correspondent...found therein eight cigars. Four of them were soaked with sea–water; four were perfectly scatheless. ...somebody produced three dry matches; and thereupon the four waifs rode impudently in their little boat and, with assurance of impending rescue shining in their eyes puffed at the big cigars, and judged well and ill of all men" (Crane 344).
