In the days following the 9/11 events, the words cyber-privacy, cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism acquired new dimensions.
Is the American ideal our culture or our Constitution?Is our refusal to sign on to economic and social international human rights agreements a result of our cultural norms or our Constitutional bounds?How many times have you heard the horror stories of human rights violations?
Immediately following the attack on the World Trade Center, President Bush began his use of the word "evil." He told the nation that terrorists were "evil-doers" and that his administration would work hard to "rid the world of evil." At the time, I found his use of the word somewhat comical, figuring he didn't have any larger, more appropriate ones in his vocabulary and needed to resort instead to phrases he'd learned from Ho-llywood blockbusters.
Here's a challenge ? see if you can guess which newspaper printed the following condemnation of Israeli policies last Friday, a few hours before Israeli soldiers killed 44 Palestinians in a single day of attacks in the occupied territories: "The killing of innocent people is gradually becoming a norm, and that norm is being implemented in the service of a goal that seeks to deprive another people of its freedom and its human rights." Or this one, targeting Israeli military commanders in the West Bank and Gaza: "They are no longer ashamed to speak of war when what they are really engaged in is colonial policing, which recalls the takeover by the white police of the poor neighborhoods of the blacks in South Africa during the apartheid era." Of course, such hot-headed stuff couldn't appear in The New York Times; and it sounds way too pro-Palestinian to appear in the American media.
Simple measures are needed to protect water resourcesI am writing in response to the article about the drought emergency, "Drought crisis declared in New Jersey," that ran in last week's paper.In reference to the water-use restrictions that are to be put into effect next week, I say it's about time!
A truly gender-neutral society would demand such an equal-opportunity reaction from the overzealous "activists" who tore down the Maxim-style "Man Show" posters used by several a cappella groups to advertise a show.
Advertising does not effect you, right? So why are you wearing a shirt with "GAP" or "J.
Sexy. Powerful. Strong. These are typically masculine adjectives, but they should not be. They should be gender neutral, immediately masculine or feminine, and it is with this goal in mind that the Organization of Women Leaders has launched it's "what is a feminist?" campaign.
In yesterday's commentary on Boutique Medicine, I described two extreme ideological visions for our health system: the egalitarian and the libertarian vision.
My high school in mid-December's early decision season is like a war zone. Espionage is undertaken to find out who has gotten in where.
In their spirited point-counterpoint on "boutique medicine" (Feb. 11, 2002), Natalya Efros '05 and Eric Harkleroad '03 framed the debate on our nation's health policy, honestly, as only young people would.
In my youth I knew a fellow who was a notorious drunk ? the word "alcoholic" not as yet having found a home in the Ozark dialect ? who had an interesting take on his situation."The weekend's coming," he was once heard to remark.
When was the last time you calmly walked to the dinky? Chances are you usually make a mad dash for the train, and it's not because you're running late; you just don't know what mood the dinky-men might be in today.Earlier this year a friend and I decided to make a trip into New York.
I don't really like columns that wax philosophical; more often then not such articles take up some myriad of words without actually saying anything at all.
I am a graduating senior and I am living in the present. Not only am I not living in the past, but I have also chosen not to live in the future.
A lack of diversity in academiaThe article "Why are there so few African-American professors on campuses?" (Feb.
As we approach midterms week it's natural for our thoughts to turn to exams. Every exam we take over midterm week will be marked with a small pledge that we have "not violated the honor code" during this examination.
As I sat in the Frist Dining Area enjoying a nice late lunch, I picked up a stray copy of Wednesday's Daily Princetonian.
The intifada has left Israel and Palestine battered and bloodied. Ariel Sharon now faces pressure from both the left and right wings of his government, simultaneously confronted with the protests of military officers declaring they will not serve in operations against Palestinians, and a right-wing coalition that wants even harsher action taken against the insurgents.
Ceremony should carry the memory, legacy of Sept. 11I am writing in response to the article printed on Monday, Feb.
