Vinton Cerf's Argument Analysis

Mark Zepezauer’s article, “MK-Ultra from the Book the CIAs Greatest Hits” discusses the psychology experiment conducted by the CIA, MK-Ultra. The MK-ultra conducted a study that used mind control on their participants. Zepezauer recounts the events of the CIA tries to defend their stance by claiming they used the method in response to the brainwashing from the Chinese that was happening in the fifties. He says that mind control practices took place prior to 1953, but became popular after the experiment. He continues to explain how the CIA would use drugs, including LSD, and test them on their patients that were unaware of what tests were upon them. Zepezauer reveals that multiple suicides also took place in response to the given substances. He deliberated how the CIA rented out apartments and used prostitutes in their study. They used them to slip the drugs into their client’s pockets and the CIA would look through one-way mirrors to see the client’s response. Once the auditors discovered this, the MK-Ultra shut down and renamed the MKSEARCH. Mark Zepezauer

This text is an article by Nicholas Carr. The author discusses how the internet has changed the lives of people by requiring them to do less work and in turn making them “stupid”. In this essay, my focus will be the three appeals, the structure and the audience of this article.

Carr starts at his paper in a first point of view. He expresses his feelings that the internet is changing his own personal thinking. This man is an author, he's born to read and even he says that he's having problems because he can no longer read anymore. Carr says that “the web has been a godsend” (Carr), but he also explained it's not only a

If there is anything we know for sure, it is that the internet will never be the perfect virtual paradise we want it to be. Those who advocate regulating speech on the internet are trying to create an online utopia: a place where all expression is positive and building. But we are humans, and when we desire to

L v. R The internet is a worldwide online network that contains a collection of information for everyone and is a place where people can contribute their information online. Steven Johnson is an author who wrote the article “It’s all about us”. His article he explains that the web is a powerful way to voice your opinions, and it is leading us to a downturn of professional news media because we have become the experts that are capable of sharing and getting our information.

That human rights should be available and potentially useful to everyone is an aspiration, not a moral truth. It is the promise of human rights that makes them so appealing, especially to those who have no other recourse.31 One reason I dislike accounts of human rights that are not inclusive—such as the argument from autonomy—is that the mere admissibility of some justified exclusions opens the door to the possibility of others. The exemptions also become ripe for abuse, as with arguments about the limited "rationality" of all of those historically excluded from natural rights arguments. Such accounts undermine the promise, and thus the appeal and the legitimacy, of human

The argument is between two stories about Henry David Thoreau. One story is saying that you need to go out and explore and to not waste your life not exploring new things. While the other story states that if Thoreau had brought the internet with him he wouldn’t of explored as much because of how big the internet has grown.

While Carr is making very good arguments about the way he feels with the internet becoming part of our daily lives, and what the thinks about the problems that is making into us,

Now that I have written a letter to one of my peers from high school, I’m going to write this letter to you, to explain and demonstrate on how and why I’m against the internet. While reading the short essays, one caught my attention, created by Sherry Turkle, she demonstrates to us about how the internet takes away our private space and our freedom to experience the outdoors. I agree with this because many people just sit around and in front of a screen instead of going outside to see the real world, instead they depend on the internet to see what’s going on out there. I think the internet has changed me as well as it did to others, I didn’t anticipate to have experience only sitting around and in front of a screen

In Esther Dyson’s “Cyberspace: If You Don’t Love It, Leave It”, the existence of the internet is seen as potentially dangerous to today’s society. Dyson insists that the internet was once a sanctuary for tech savvy individuals such as gamers and professionals like engineers. The author focuses on the negative websites and communities that are often found offensive to the majority. She thinks the World Wide Web harbors a lot of power. This power can be accessed and conquered easily by most of the population. According to Dyson, responsibility is the key to changing the future (295). Her argument is convincing but slightly unrealistic. The internet seems to be growing into a whole other alternate universe. Society’s rapidly growing technology industry will only be harder to regulate. Most people will do what they want, when they want especially when it comes to the internet.

As Carr continues, he speaks of his extended use of the internet over the last decade, explaining that all information that he once painstakingly searched for is done in minutes with the use of search engines. In doing this, Carr places blame on the internet for breaking his ability to concentrate. Carr presents his arguments in a way that his readers could easily agree. He gradually works up to the idea that the internet has weakened his ability to focus, and as he does this he makes several general statements about the internet’s nature. These points on the net’s nature are so basic that any reader of his article would be inclined to agree with them, and this lends itself to help readers believe the argument Carr wishes to propose. Because it would be hard to provide factual evidence to support his claims, Carr effectively uses logical reasoning to convince the reader.

The Internet, largely debated about regarding its existence and whether its benefits outweigh its demerits, is considered the greatest creation. The Internet contains a plethora of information ranging from science to entertainment as well as one’s entire life story. While the Internet is incontrovertibly man's greatest creation, it's benefits and demerits including privacy, security, infringement of rights and freedom of speech are brought to light in the highly opinionated right to be forgotten debate. A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury.

Recent rights development has sought to justify the civilization and the importance of rights by reference to some overriding value, such as freedom, fairness, independence, equality, quality of life, and dignity.

To be able to properly analyze and apply political theories to a cyber-realm, we must understand that connecting to the internet is much like a social contract. When you sign on the internet you are
