The document discusses Ulrich Beck's theory of "Risk Society" which argues that modern society is increasingly preoccupied with future hazards and insecurities caused by modernization itself. Beck asserts that as technology advances, it introduces new risks like viruses or data breaches that require additional technological "solutions" like anti-virus software or privacy measures, thereby perpetuating a cycle of risk creation and mitigation driven by techno-scientific progress. The document provides examples of how everyday life increasingly relies on technology while also facing technological threats, leading to a "culture of warnings" about various risks.
The document discusses Eugene O'Neill's play Mourning Becomes Electra and analyzes how it relates to Freudian psychology. It argues that while O'Neill claimed his knowledge of psychoanalysis was limited, the play clearly depicts Freudian concepts like the Oedipus complex through the characters' desires to possess their mothers and hostility towards their fathers. It provides specific examples from the play of how characters like Orin exhibit classic Oedipal symptoms and transfer their fixation with their mothers onto other women like Lavinia.
Anti-Spammers Need To Develop Better Mannersanytime01
This document discusses the rude behavior of some subscribers and internet users towards legitimate email newsletters and publications. It notes that while spam can understandably frustrate people, there are better ways to handle unwanted email than responding with obscenities. Specifically, it outlines an instance where a subscriber to the author's newsletter responded with a vulgar message in the subject line rather than simply unsubscribing. The author argues this goes beyond rudeness and some services make it too easy for users to incorrectly report emails as spam instead of unsubscribing. Overall it encourages people to direct their anti-spam sentiments towards actual spammers in a polite manner rather than threatening or swearing at legitimate senders.
