The Enigma Code

Imagine a world in which men could act feminine and women could act masculine without being judged. Now try and identify why this may never happen. Men and women are both taught at an early age what they can and cannot do because of what gender they were born as; they are markedly similar in this aspect. There is a known gender stereotype for girls and boys, and the parents of these children enable these stereotypes from the day that they are born. girls are given pink clothes, and boys are given blue clothes. These colors set the rules of how they must behave for the rest of their lives, this idea is known as The Girl and Guy code. It is all black and white thinking, or in the case pink and blue. There is no in-between because once you stray from the code it is immediately recognized and looked down upon. Although the girl and guy code are almost polar opposites, they go hand in hand with one another because they are both used among society as a way to create a better image in front of others. The Woman looks better in the eyes of other women if she is more lady-like, and a man looks better in front of men if he is more manly; both genders deal with a heavy set of homosocial ideals.

One of the hottest topics that modern science has been focusing on for a long time is the field of artificial intelligence, the study of intelligence in machines or, according to Minsky, “the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men”.(qtd in Copeland 1). Artificial Intelligence has a lot of applications and is used in many areas. “We often don’t notice it but AI is all around us. It is present in computer games, in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that route our email.” (BBC 1). Different goals have been set for the science of Artificial Intelligence, but according to Whitby the most mentioned idea about the goal of AI is provided by the Turing Test. This test is also called the

“Antarctic penguins detect the precise call of their chicks among the 150,000 families in the nesting site” (Christin 96). If only it were this easy to know who you were talking to online. This leads me to Peter Singer’s “Visible Man: Ethics in a World Without Secrets” which he explains that being watched through surveillance increases our morals. And Brian Christians “Authenticating” discusses the importance of artificial intelligence and what makes us human. Both of the articles listed describes how technology continues to transform into a more modern web and gives the citizens, who use it, less security, which results in chaos within the government and society. Consequently, new technology does not make it harder to be

This idea is represented in the matrix by “The Desert of the Real” and the motifs of mirrors throughout the movie. The reflections represent the confusion toward the blurred line between reality and simulation. Similarly, this idea of the blurred line between reality and simulation is reflected with Cypher’s conversation with Agent Smith. A firm believer in the theory “ignorance is bliss”, Cypher prefers the ‘happier’ simulated life to the truth facing him. By emphasising this simulated environment, the Wachowski brothers allow us to analyse our own dependency on technology for our lives. Similarly, Card analyses this idea of human kind living in a simulacra in his novel Ender’s game. Not knowing the truth, Ender is deceived by his military superiors into believing that the real battle against the buggers was simply a computer game. “Real. Not a game.” After this sudden revelation, Ender cannot cope with his existence, and only finds redemption in religion. In both texts, the composers use textual forms to highlight the idea that computers are used to create a simulation which absorbs the user, hiding them from the realities of life.

Short story series “America’s Book of Secrets: Presidential Transportation” season 1 episode 6, written by Brian Coughlin and first premiered, January 21, 2012. This episode highlights the transport of the president. The book of secrets breaks down how the president safety is key in his transport to various destinations. Upon the completion of this video review readers will understand how the president travels and the steps taken to ensure safety.

In 1863 Lincoln passed the ten percent plan which meant ten percent of the Southern population had to take the loyalty oath. (Shultz, 2014). This angered Congress because it was soft towards the Ex-slaves. Congress passed the Wade-Davis Bill, it required fifty percent take the loyalty oath. After Lincoln was assassinated, President Johnson altered The Freedmen’s Bureau which had been created in 1865. President Johnson did not deter the Southern states from developing the Black Codes which caused friction between white and blacks. Creating Radical Republicans was Congress’s answer to the Black Codes. Furthermore, Congress gained control over the president. They attempted to impeach President Johnson, but failed by one vote. They created the

The reason as to why the Enigma Machine was a major objective and required a specific group of people to solve was because it dictated how the Germans communicated and was an extremely complex machine that only the most intelligent people could potentially solve. The Enigma Machine was a code-generating machine used by the Nazis during World War Two. What appeared to be a typewriter in a suitcase, the Enigma Machine had essentially 4 main components to itself: the keyboard, the lamp board, the plug board, and the rotors. The keyboard was arranged in a German QWERTZ layout. The lamp board was also arranged in the same manner as the keyboard, however with the lamp board, there were no buttons to press down on.

Women are a part of the present, the past and the future. They are leaders, mothers, creators, healers, believers, heroes, teachers and muses. They are from different race, origins, beliefs and education. Underated and put on the side from the beginning since the idea of “founding fathers”. However, we all acknowledge now that they did just as much as the men during the revolution. For example, they were soldiers, camp followers, couriers, spies, a community organizer, a newspaper publisher, nurses, defenders of their homes, a political philosopher, poets and propagandists. The following introduces to you some of the women and their stories.

At home language is included and incorporated into the classroom for every child. Many activities being implemented are occurring to challenge a child’s intellectual development, conversations, reading, building, activities, etc. All while learning in a fun way the basic school readiness skills. Here family members are encouraged to participate as much as possible. This is being done to be used as partners in all parts of the educational program. This can help parents improve their education with a child, and also improve proper parenting skills to better assess their child.

The Imitation Game is a 2014 American historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Graham Moore, which is based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges. It is about the code breaking program by the British during World War II, which helped Britain to break encoded Enigma messages from the Germans. Alan Turning, the main character, is a homosexual mathematician that is in charge of the project and is portrayed as a selfish genius that builds the code breaking machine, “Christopher” almost by himself. During the movie, he is suspected to be a Soviet spy and is later sentenced to chemical castration due to his homosexuality. The main plot of the movie shows Turing and his team working under the pressure of a

I finish by saying that although The Imitation Game is a 2014 academy award winning cinematic masterpiece. I would say that it certainly provides a sense of escapism and dull-witted humor, while at the same time making room for its intellectual snobbery creating conflict where none existed, and perhaps improvising the very nature of Turing’s work for the purpose of captivating our imagination through the codes and conventions of cinema.

"The Secret Adversary" is a very interesting historical mystery novel. Set in 1919, but still very entertaining and relevant in today's time. The story takes place in 1919 Great Britain. I wouldn't necessarily label it a "historical piece" since it was first published almost 100 years ago, but considering how much time has passed and how it's set in a different era completely, I feel comfortable saying historical. The story follows the two main characters Tommy Beresford and Tuppence Cowley who form a partnership and business as "Young Adventurers". They crave money and excitement, but they quickly bite off more they can chew and stumble into a case that could change Britain forever. The duo are quickly approached by the mysterious Mr. Whittington

The Imitation Game The film, “The Imitation Game”, follows the life of Alan Turing, a homosexual mathematician, who became a war hero after breaking Enigma, an encryption device that the Germans used for communication purposes during World War II. Decoding Enigma had a major effect on World War II. In 1939, Alan Turing, and four other code breakers, Joan Clarke, Hugh Alexander, John Cairncross, and Peter Hilton were employed by the British military as cryptographers to decipher the secret messages that the Germans were sending. Decoding it was an impossible task – there was 150,000,000,000,000 possible codes, which would be switched everyday by the Germans, forcing the five codebreakers to start over. Throughout the film, Turing works to design a machine that would be smarter than any human brain to decode Enigma instantly.

In WWII, a German cipher telegraph was used to send messages to others with nearly no possibility to encrypt. This incredible machine was called Enigma. Enigma's settings made about 158 quintillion solutions. However, the Allies were able to crack its code. When Poland was taken over by the Germans, the Polish and some French ciphers told the UK everything that they knew to help the cryptanalysts at Bletchley. From their Enigma was further cracked.
