Computer science
With the advent of various technological advancements, law enforcement efforts in the investigation
and prosecution of crime have been met with positive results. However, with every advantage comes
a disadvantage. Criminals have also benefited from these technologies and use the same
advancements that law enforcement employs during the commission of their crimes, or as a tool for
their crimes (this is evidenced in computer-related offenses and the misuse of the Internet).
In a 3 page paper (excluding title and reference pages), address the following areas in full detail:
summarize the advantages of computers/software and the use of computer technology in
investigations, summarize the disadvantages to law enforcement with respect to the advancements of
computers, research a case where the computer was used to aid in the commission of a crime,
research a case where the use of the computer was beneficial to the prosecution in a criminal case,
and provide a final conclusion/paragraph that addresses your subjective opinion as to whether these
technologies, in an overall sense, are of benefit or a hindrance to law enforcement efforts.

Democracy

Philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke’s and Jean-Jacques Rosseau’s theory on Social Contract implied agreements by which people form nations and maintain a social order.

Know: What are the three events that was the result of settlement in Nevada by the

1840s?

 

Know: some of the explicit reasons why Nevada Settlers wanted their own territory.

Settlers felt that they were receiving unfair treatments and it led to a chain of events in

which the settlers petitioned Congress and the President for their own territory, and to be

separated from the Western Utah Territory (currently Nevada), which was overseen by

Brigham Young. Settlers, who were predominately Non-Mormon, complained that some

laws made by the Utah territorial officials had “no separation of church and state.”

Settlers believed they had no true representation in their own interest, and felt their

interests were ignored within the jurisdiction they lived in. The capital was far away (first

it resided in Fillmore City and then in Salt Lake City which was 500 miles distance); and

the Western Utah Territory lacked law and order. The settlers eventually created a

squatter government; and hired an attorney to travel several times to Congress to

petition for their own territory, and statehood.

 

Know: how the leadership of the Utah territory affected the settlers’ liberty and equality?

 

Topic: Nevada Early History

1. Discuss: How would that type leadership affect our liberty and equality today?
