FBI ran child porn site for two weeks in attempt to identify over 5,000 pedophiles - 32 views

Although the FBI was involved in the facilitation of child pornography, I think it's an effective way to deal with pedophiles. The issue of child pornography can barely be looked at as ethical, so ...

TAs Cheat at Redwood - 81 views

This is interesting - I'm glad they published it, but I agree with the people who say they could have gone deeper. I say this because it doesn't go into the role of TA's much - how many students a...

Producers make fake documentary about mermaids - 10 views

COUNT ME IN. Although the mermaid film is a hoax, mockumentaries are pretty much my fav genre. I could find this film not only humorous but informative. It would be interesting to see how the film...

There Are No Sound Moral Arguments Against Performance-Enhancing Drugs - 0 views

  •  
    This article offered a new perspective on the controversy of performance enhancing drugs. It is definitely and opinion piece, but it does present a constructive ethics argument against the use of PEDs. As an athlete it offered valid insight to the culture of sports and the meaning behind competition. What are PED place in our daily lives? What is the place of ethics in sports?

Women Secretly Filmed at West Point - 4 views

I don't think that the answer to the sexual harassment of military women is to disallow women in the military. That response is fueled by rape culture and effectively blames and punishes the victim...

Attention-Deficit Drugs Face New Campus Rules - 30 views

I think that technically Adderall constitutes cheating, just as steroids do in sports. I think that people use it as a sort of short cut to good grades; it's true that the drug helps you concentrat...

"My Daughter's Homework is Killing Me" - 53 views

The writer was able to maintain a light voice which I think aided getting his point across. As a lot of people have noted, this article is amusing. However while being amused the writer was able to...

"Impartial" journalism: Are we kidding ourselves? (1st and 2nd HW, 10.29) - 81 views
