Conspiracy Theory Research Paper

What if what you had been told your whole life was a lie? How would you feel if everything reported about a terrorist attack or a shooting was actually a conspiracy by the United States? What is a conspiracy? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a conspiracy is “a secret plan made by two or more people that is harmful or illegal”. There are so many conspiracy theories out there in the world starting as early as the 1800s. These theories range from scientific, terrorist, criminal, political, economic and business, and even religious conspiracies. The two conspiracy theories that I am talking about is the attack that changed the United States, as we knew it, the one that we believed was a terrorist attack, also known as 9/11, and the Sandy Hook shooting. There are multiple reasons that lead me to consider these two attacks to be something more than a terrorist and criminal attack. The reasons are because the timelines do not add up, there are too many inconsistencies, and the benefits are too great.

Brian Keeley’s short essay, “Of Conspiracy Theories” discusses conspiracy theories and their value in an epistemological context. Keeley defines a conspiracy theory as “a proposed explanation of some historical event (or events) in terms of the significant causal agency of a relatively small group of persons-the conspirators-acting in secret (Keeley 1999, pg. 116).” Keeley seeks to answer the question of why conspiracy theories are unwarranted. His interest in the warrant of conspiracy theories focuses on ¬the unfalsifiability of conspiracy theories and how conspiracy theories are founded upon an extraordinarily large amount of skepticism. In section III, Keely discusses what a conspiracy theory is, and contends that there is no grounds for

On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty-three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks…, n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most controversial and debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of our time. One article of his death wrote, "The day the country cried". Unlike previous presidential assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that is filled the conspiracy theories. Such theories include a Government cover-up, Mafia influence and Cuban President Fidel Castro. The idea of a lone mind, Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to kill President Kennedy is too simple. In the eyes of scholars there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Even with the growing number of bogus theories, there are a number of logical theories that do hold water. In this paper I will discuss

Imagine turning on the TV one morning, and seeing two of the world's tallest towers being destroyed. That's what happened on September 11th 2001. 9/11, also known as the September 11th attacks, was where hijackers took over 4 planes and crashed them into the north and south world trade centers, and the pentagon. 9/11 left a lasting impact that was untouched by no one. Thousands of people died from these attacks, leaving scars in the hearts of people worldwide. New security procedures followed 9/11, along with stronger border protection. Moreover, more than a decade of war lasted with Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11.

     The debate about Kennedy’s assassination has been mixed by emotional arguments array of conspiracy theories that try to explain why a popular president was shot. I believe that President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, Texas was a conspiracy. The U.S. Government has admitted that the American people have not been told the truth about the assassination.

I think that Oswald was part of a bigger conspiracy because no one believes that it was only Oswald that killed JFK because how can you fire a sniper four times in a row. The gun will move each time the gun is fired. But I don’t think it was Oswald because after you just killed someone how can you just be eating lunch as calmly wouldn’t he feel guilty for killing a man like JFK. I think that Oswald didn’t kill him because if he killed someone wouldn’t he try to get away. Honestly it had to more than him or it had to be another large conspiracy and he was apart of it. When he was arrested and was taken to the court I think that the guy that killed was part of the conspiracy with Oswald but he killed so that Oswald wouldn’t tell anyone about

We all remember that tragic day on September eleventh 2001. Four planes were hijacked and placed with a particular mission. Two planes hit the north and south tower of the World Trade Center. One hit the Pentagon, and one landed in a field in Pennsylvania. Many changes were made to the world because of 9/11. Some of those changes are airport security, war, and government issues. September eleventh changed the world changed for the better and worse.

As the 9/11 attacks were happening millions of people’s eyes couldn't leave the t.v. screens they all thought only that it couldn’t be real. The assistant fire chief was talking with his men after he had his coffee when what he thought was a t.v. show came on but soon found out the terrorists hijacked a plane and crashed it. Many of the first responders were busy treating smoke inhalation when the first plane struck its target, but many others waited for their broken bones and bad burns to be treated. The emergency responders do these things every day, protect other people from getting hurt by these types of things.the noises around them was the hardest things to see happen what he heard was pain and death.

I believe that Oswald is part of a larger conspiracy. Evidence that supports this theory is when witnesses told CIA agents what they saw, the CIA denies all this saying “No you didn’t see shots coming from the grassy knoll.” This introduces a new idea: Oswald is part of a larger conspiracy. If the government is covering up evidence that Oswald assassinated president Kennedy, then that just means there’s more to it than just this.

So, what are aliens? Aliens are exterrestrial beings that allegedly live in outer space and did not originate from Earth. Outer space is incomprehensibly massive. The galaxy in which human beings live is referred to as the Milky Way, and there are an estimated 100 billion planets in that one galaxy alone(SPACE.com Staff). Seth Shostak, an American astronomer and a Senior Astronomer for the SETI Institute, argues, "If we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, or for that matter in the universe, then we are truly a miracle." According to SETI.org, The SETI Institute is a research organization whose mission is to

In the fifth chapter, "The Conspiracy", Ellis examines the triumph of Jefferson and Madison in creating the two-party system in American politics by creating the Democratic-Republican Party. Even though Jefferson works to undermine Washington's administration from within, he mocks party politics and denies that he is capable of being a partisan hack, consequently failing to comprehend his own

To most a fairy tale, to some an interesting topic of discussion, however, to a small population, 5 % to be exact, Government conspiracy does exist. How, you might ask, do I intend to prove that indeed government conspiracy is real? I do not intend to prove it. In fact I only intend to inform you of its ever growing ploy of world domination, capitalism and control and open your mind to the idea that government conspiracy is out there. Throughout history as it is known to repeat itself, I will show facts that support this “theory” and dismiss the legendary lies we have been taught to believe through a system known as memetics.

The study shows that the number of students who enroll in college is so large that college degree become meaningless because everyone has it. Also, graduated from college does not provide the students any benefit to get a good job and basically waste years. In some way, invest the money which is about to pay the tuition is better than pay the tuition and go to college.

Even though there are a lot of statements about the illuminati some say it’s all make believe, there
