Industrial or Economic Espionage
A small Mississauga electronics safety equipment company is broken into.
Although filing cabinets and desks were rummaged through, nothing was seemingly
taken. An officer discovered the company had drawn up a bid for $7 million
dollar contract a day or so before the break-in. The contract in question was
for a foreign country. It was later discovered that the company in question was
known for its aggressive economic espionage. An iron ore shipping company was
also broken into. At first it was thought that the target had been the firms
computers. But, nothing was taken, it was assumed that the burglars had been
scared off. Within thirty minutes it was discovered that the company was
approaching its fiscal year end. staff eventually found that most of the recent
database backup tape was missing. A Quebec based company with the laser-based
system for inspecting materials used in, among other things, the stealth
aircraft, had three computers stolen. On their harddrives were confidential
codes for specialized software used by the Canadian Armed forces. The above are
all true examples of the modern threat facing international business today
known as industrial or economic espionage. The end of the cold and economic
pressures have increased the risk of economic espionage. The collapse of the
Soviet Union has left unemployed KGB and other former communist bloc
intelligence agents selling everything from Russian night vision devices to
completely assembled and functional bugging devices. Even friendly western
European governments have been caught spying on private corporations based in
the U.S. and other countries, while industrial competitors sometimes hire
private companies to collect competitive intelligence from their corporate
rivals( Lester:96). What exactly is economic espionage? how prevalent is it?
Who does it? How do they do it? and what can we do to stop it. These are the
questions that will be looked at in the following pages.
First lets look at, what exactly is economic espionage. Espionage and
intelligence is no longer the exclusive domain of monarchs and governments, it
has become a must for modern international business. Large corporations around
the world particularly in western Europe and Asia now hire agents to gather
intelligence on their competitors and other countries. The goal of economic
espionage is to steal trade secrets, plans and confidential procedures or
anything to give your company or country a competitive edge over another
(Perry:1996). The areas that interest industrial spies the most include
radiation transfer technology, systems diagnostic and testing software,
traveling wave tubes, aviation technologies, microwave monolithic integrated
circuits, inferred signature measures software, radar technologies, wet
"Love can affect you so deeply that it reshapes you from the inside out and by doing so alters you destiny for future loving moments" says Fredrickson but she seems to have forgotten that there always two perspectives to any ideology. It is indubitable that the experiences of love play a crucial role in molding an individual, but it is ignorant to say that only love will cause such change. The reality is that not all relationships and encounters are true "micro-moment of love" and those negative experiences also partake in what creates the identity and thought process of an individual. With the knowledge that an individual 's cell play a crucial role in deciding who to have "micro-moments of love"; such negative experience will be associated with the factual, biological notion of love. Thus causing individuals to feel that the negative experience they had to face and deal with were a result of their body and its biology. The idea that their body and brain, essentially unalterable, were capable of causing them pain and heartache, will hinder them from achieving the love and longing for others that Fredrickson describes. The idea that love is functioning by the orders registered by the individual 's body, makes love uncontrollable. Humans in nature are predisposed
As European domination began, the way in which the European’s chose to deal with the Aborigines was through the policy of segregation. This policy included the establishment of a reserve system. The government reserves were set up to take aboriginals out of their known habitat and culture, while in turn, encouraging them to adapt the European way of life. The Aboriginal Protection Act of 1909 established strict controls for aborigines living on the reserves . In exchange for food, shelter and a little education, aborigines were subjected to the discipline of police and reserve managers. They had to follow the rules of the reserve and tolerate searchers of their homes and themselves. Their children could be taken away at any time and ‘apprenticed” out as cheap labour for Europeans. “The old ways of the Aborigines were attacked by regimented efforts to make them European” . Their identities were threatened by giving them European names and clothes, and by removing them from their tra...
In the nineteenth century, the “History wars” became the fight between the most prominent historians revolving around the deception of frontier conflict between the labor and coalition. The debate aroused from the different interpretations of the violence that took place during the European colonization and to what degree. It became a crisis in history, emerging from the dispossession of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI) that resulted in exclusion of their traditions and culture. The ATSI were the first people of Australia that brought along a different culture, language, kinship structures and a different way of life (Face the Facts, 2012). Post European colonization was a time where the ATSI people experienced disadvantage in the land they called home. With the paramount role as future educators, it demands proficient knowledge on the Australian history and one of the most influential moments in our history started from the first European settlers.
Major settlements occurred after the nineteenth century. The British had quickly out-numbered the Aboriginal community, leaving them powerless to the changes or the invasion. The belief systems of the Europeans overpowered the aboriginal’s way of life, pressuring them to conform to the...

The Torres Strait Islanders were fishermen, hunters and agriculturalists and, because they gardened and were fearless defenders of their territories, they were generally considered Europeans to be superior to mainland Aboriginal people. Pre-contact Torres Strait Islanders were not a single homogeneous or unified group with the islands regulated by senior men and organised through totemic clan membership. It was a society based on kinship and reciprocal obligation.
Censorship has been a big part of the world’s history and especially America’s history. One of the most quoted amendments to the United States constitution is the first amendment; “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ...” This amendment guaranteeing free speech, press, and religion is still heavily debated and contested today. Censorship, as a challenge to free speech and press has been allowed many times and has been heavily debated itself. Many people censor for many different reasons and in many different forms. Censorship itself is not always a bad thing and has in some cases been used for protection of the general population.
It is illegal to make privacy of one's life. Surveillance is a commonplace occurrence in the society today. It exists in every corner of a nation from the corner of streets to discussion topics in movies, lecture halls, theater arenas and books. The privacy word is mentioned many times till its losing taste of its meaning. Surveillance is the exercise of keeping a close watch on something, somebody or set of activities (Richards 56). Many people say that Surveillance is unscrupulous. Nonetheless, we mainly do not distinguish the reason. People only have vague intuition the fact, and this accounts the reason the courts of justice do not protect it or the victim of circumstance of such. We recognize we don’t like it, and by the virtue that it contains something too with privacy, but past that, the revelations can be ambiguous (Boghosian 67). We have been to stay in this state of operation substantially because of the threat of constant Surveillance has been consigned to the realms of scientific studies and fictional activities and moreover to unsuccessful authoritarian states. Nevertheless, these warnings are no longer fictions due to
Surveillance is the monitoring of behaviour. In addition, surveillance system is the process of monitoring the behaviour of people, objects or processes within systems for conformity to expected or desired norms in trusted systems for security control (Cohen and Medioni, 1999). Video surveillance systems have existed 25 years ago whereby it started with 100% analogue system and gradually becoming digital system. The closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera is the most popular video surveillance because of its reliability and low price. The camera does not broadcast images but it records them, so that user can always check to see what occurred while they were away. It is widely used at public spaces and residences for security purposes.
Webster new explorer dictionary said that the definition of espionage is “the practice of spying or using spies to obtain information about plans and activities especially of a foreign government or a competing company” (1999). Spies in World War 2 had very fun jobs but very dangerous jobs at the same time, but still lived a good life. Spies were used to gather secret information to help their countries win the war. People became spies because they to be loyal to their country. Female spies did the most work in helping their countries gain victory in the war.
In his inner struggles for existence and the need to be seen, he takes actions to be notice. For example, in his place he had manage to install and light up 1,369 light bulbs with the electricity he is steeling, he claims “Perhaps you’ll think it strange an invisible man should need light, desire light, love light. But maybe it is because I am invisible. Lights confirms my reality, gives birth to my form.”(Paragraph #14) “The truth is the light and light is the truth.”(Paragraph #16) If you really where okay with being invisible you would have not be attracting that much attention by lighting all your space so that you are not even invisible to the blindest. In a way, by the lighting up of all of those bulbs he is hoping that the light will actually not let him go unseen. It would be really hard for anyone to miss him under so much light, it would be merely impossible to not be visible. Something else he does is listen to Louis Armstrong singing “What did I do to be so Black and Blue.” He has one radio-phonograph which he finds not to be enough since he wants five in total. He claims he likes to feel the vibration of the music playing in his whole body and would love to play all five radios at the same time in sync and see how they feel. “You hear this music simply because music is heard and seldom seen.” (Paragraph #22) In a way the music vibration reminds him that he is physically present and can actually feel sensations like any human could. Also is interesting the title of the song he chooses to play, as if looking for an answer to his current situation and somehow the song will do just that. And with music you just have to feel and hear not necessarily see anything with your
The death penalty deters murder. The death penalty is the best way to stop a killer from killing someone else. Some say that prison is enough, but it isn’t. Death is necessary because if they are only sent to prison there is always the risk that some day the same killer that brutally killed a 5-year old or raped and strangle a college student might return to the streets.
The death penalty deters murder and puts the fear of death into would be killers. A person is less likely to kill, if he fears a possible sentence for his action. Another way the death penalty may help deter murder is the fact that if the killer is death, he or she will not be able to kill again. There are two different opinions on the death penalty. There are those who think that murders deserve to live and serve a life sentence in jail, and those who are supporters of the death penalty as a form of revenge. Both groups want to make examples out of offenders so that the threat of death will be enough to deter from capitol offenses.
For more than 60000 years, Aboriginal people have been lived with in the land called “Australia” with out invasion from outside world. However, from 1788 when European first came and settled on the land of Aboriginal as their new habitation which change the Aboriginal people life in many ways. The purpose of this report is to research and discuss about changing of Aboriginal people life after the arrival of the first fleet of European in 1788. This report will discuss the changing of the Aboriginal life from 1788 to 1901, which includes dispossession and protectionism. It will also highlight the struggle for right and freedom of Aboriginal people from 1901 to the present including Assimilation, Integration and Self-determination. In addition, it will identify role and achievement of Chatty Freeman and who influence Aboriginal’s culture to the forefront of society.
