21 Plots Misbehave is an interesting addition to the Traveller universe started by GYPSY KNIGHT GAMES in that it begins to branch out and reference back to some of the more nefarious aspects of Traveller while staying within the open license. This book highlights the high times of lowlifes that marked much of the early years of Traveller – where working class stiffs are often called upon to do something no quite legal (by breaking unjust laws) yet at the same time not immoral. Could this then be called 21 Shades of Misbehavior? ‘Fraid not… It retains a gritty character of many a Traveller adventure but it was without any of the darker corners that populate at least My Traveller Universe (and I do not think that I am alone in having a Mos Eisley bar in every port – the secret is to know what brings your characters there – to feed an addition to Deathsticks or make contact with the femme fatale Zhodani patron who will ask them courier something past the border). So, I have to conclude that this is a valid first step at pushing the OGL into greyer areas.
The adventure seeds are so...
... story ‘Harrison Bergeron’, it can be derived that that these societies have strict rules and regulations, citizens of the society have become so adapted that they are afraid of change, and there is a severe lack of freedom. Both environments displayed uncivilized and inappropriate behavior, with innocent people being killed in front of their loved ones. What appeared to be an innocent tradition and harmless government turned out to be the perfect recipe for disaster.
We are all trying to make the world a better place, whether it’s through trying to eliminate the use of drugs or making Sunday a Holy Day. Some have true intentions while others try to make the world fit their standards. However, we all have different likes and dislikes so we are unable to obtain the “perfect” world. By trying to force ones morality onto others it causes rebellion. Who is to say gambling, recreational drugs, or alcohol are right or wrong? Prohibition played a preeminent role in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and caused many people to challenge the law which ultimately lead to its demise during the Roaring Twenties.
Wallace Turnage, a slave for most of his teenage life, was a very important man in American history. At the time, slavery was very popular among the whites in the South, because it was an extreme money maker. Most large plantation and slave owners were filthy rich and just got richer by selling slaves and having them harvest the crops. However, the northern states were mostly all opposed to slavery and were ready to fight for their opinion. Abraham Lincoln played a big role in the opposition of slavery, making public speeches and convincing the North that slavery was wrong. The tension between the the states was incredible, and it was all because of slavery. As it was stated in documents, books, and even diaries, the conditions the slaves lived in were extremely poor. Wallace Turnage wrote a diary during his slave life, and David W. Blight read his diary and wrote a book based on the diary entries of Turnage and another slave who also kept a journal. “A Slave No More”# sheds some light on the truth about slavery and slave life that has been kept hidden or brushed off by the white southerners during that era. The journal Turnage kept has incredible facts about his five attempts at escaping to the Northern, free states.
When looking at Welcome to Night Vale's many deviant acts we find that most of the deviance falls into three categories the first being Night Vale's deviance from the reality of society, the second being individual deviants, and the third being the climatic revolution. Each of these three categories has its own corresponding deviant social organization.
The first mistake is when 3 military pilots walk into a bar without permission from their supervisors. This makes them vulnerable to attack. They were attacked and this then causes a military base to be captured. Hostages are held in the military base which lets the antagonists have “bargain” materials. The antagonists start making threats, to the president of the United States of America, for other certain people.
The ethical topic I would like to discuses is the problems people are having with the at home genetic test called 23andMe. The Google owned company has come under fire recently because of failure to comply with the FDA's regulations for class III medical device. That however is not where the ethical issues come in, it just sparked interest in the company.
As of 2025, it is predicted in the developed counties more than ¼ of it’s population will contain the ages of sixty five or older. The word ageism refers to the social oppression of a person based on their age. It is similar to how one may prejudice another for their race or gender. Some of the most obvious forms of ageism is that of biased comments. If someone refers ton another as “grandma”, “grandpa”, “old man” “old lady”, asks you of what your plans for retirement are going to be, says your best days are in the past and says they want a younger image for the company; it is an ageist comment. If one where to look around their environment and see a difference in the people around them, such as: everyone is younger and the younger persons
Informal groups are a group of employees who associate or work together without the influence or direction of management. Few employees usually compose informal groups. These few employees usually share physical proximity and interplay ideas, feeling or opinions about the workplace. Formal organization can be created or rescinded by management, but informal organization cannot be revoked because management did not inaugurate the organization. At the very epicenter of the informal group are people and their relationships with one another. Built upon the organizational structure and the delegation of authority formal groups contrast in difference the informal groups.
Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is grown he will not turn from it.” In reading this proverb ‘between the lines’ it seems to also say, “There may be a time between childhood and adulthood when the adolescent will rebel. The transition may be rocky and defiant, but he will return because of the original truth learned as a child.”
In the world we live in the word maturity is thrown around and usually everyone has a different perspective on what the word actually means. With different experiences and backgrounds of people presents very different meanings of the word maturity. In some peoples situations it shows that maturity can occur to some humans earlier on in life and some later. Just because your body grew up doesn't mean that the maturity levels have grown.
Just about everyone has done something that someone else disapproves of. In fact, almost all of us have done something we ourselves have reservations or second thoughts about. Perhaps we’ve stolen something, or told a lie, or gossiped about another person in an especially nasty way. Maybe on occasion we’ve gotten drunk, of high, or driven too fast, or recklessly. Have we ever worn clothes that someone else thought was out of style, offensive, or ugly? Have we belched at the dinner table, or did we ever break pick our nose in public? Maybe we failed to show up for an important class or read a crucial assignment, or permitted our eyes to wonder onto a neighbor’s answers during an exam. Do we like a television program that someone else finds stupid and boring? Didn’t we once date someone our parents and friends didn’t like? Maybe our religious beliefs and practices don’t agree with those of some other members of our society; it could be that they would regard us as too religious or not religious enough. For some people we may be too liberal, too conservative, or too much of a loser. Does someone else consider us too short or tall, too plain of exotic, to thin or heavy, too dark or to light skinned? The number of possible ways that what we believe, or do or are, could be judged negatively by others is infinite.
Maturity is not something that happens overnight. Maturity comes through trial and error; it’s a process which has to be perfected. Life throws curveballs and there are always multiple ways to deal with the situations. Being mature is making the right choices and knowing right from wrong.
