Why should computer scientists harness the deep web to prevent our youth from having the necessary resources to obtain narcotics over the internet? Bergman, M.K. (2001). White paper: the deep web: Surfacing hidden value. Taking License, 7(1). doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0007.104. This article goes into immense detail on the origins of the deep internet and studies performed. Bergman gives the reader a full understanding on how much of the internet’s information is submerged on dynamic sites and how many typical users cannot view the vast amount of information using standard search engines. While citing other sources, the author also performed a study using certain technologies to help view the size and importance of the deep web, describing the quality of the content, discovering ways to automatically identify deep web sites, as well as showing the public these hidden sources of information. This article may not be as recent as others, but is still one of the firsts to go into a great deal of information about the deep web. Bergman cites many excellent sources that help to describe how the deep web is growing faster than the surface web. This source gives me a great deal of information and studies I can use in my research paper to help the reader understand how almost infinite the size of the deep web actually is.

The FBI is trying to resolve the situation but because of the lack of computer scientists in the cyber field, it is hard for them to make a difference for the major population. The article talks about how the Silk Road is the biggest successful drug trade on the internet and that it took years to catch the “main guy” but how the Silk Road still exists on the deep internet. This source will help me explain how these teenagers obtain these drugs of the internet and how simple it is. The author helps to show that the process of obtaining the necessary web servers to access the deep web that can allow you to get on the Silk Road and buy narcotics. This source helps my support my argument because it shows that the FBI isn’t doing much to stop this crime and that anybody with a computer and internet can access.

When you think of the internet, usually what first comes to mind is social networking, online marketplaces, and other places that don’t sound that bad. Look deeper and you’ll find that the internet isn’t as nice as you thought it was. This “dark side” of the net is comprised of everything looked down upon in the real world – drugs, weapons, false identities, and even hit men for hire exist in this rough-and-tumble darknet. Not just physical products, but virtual products float around as well; from term papers to file sharing and even e-currency populate this dark area.
Drugs and alcohol are a big problem everywhere, but school administrators and teachers want to make sure that students are able to reach their full potential and drug use would greatly hinder that. However, according to the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey 39.9% of students have tried marijuana and 70.8% of students have drank alcohol (YRBSS 2011 National Overview). If schools were to expel every student because of drug or alcohol use, there would hardly be any students left. A booklet published by the Drug Policy Alliance has research that shows that zero tolerance policies do not deter drug and alcohol use. Drug and alcohol use continues to rise in schools, and many schools do not do anything to help combat it except for harsh disciplinary procedures. Most elementary schools have drug education programs, but the same type of education does not work well with teenagers. The Drug Policy Alliance advocates for a three step process to help students instead of p...
There is a commonly held assumption that any program that aims to keep children away from drugs is a program full of merit, unfortunately, this is not the case with D.A.R.E. West and O’Neal’s 2004 meta-data analysis of the effectiveness of D.A.R.E. program, which was spurred by an increase of reported drug and alcohol abuse amongst high school students, concluded that the D.A.R.E. program made little to no impact of abuse levels. Any positive reported impact was miniscule and solved for by the error margin of the study. Specifically, of the 11 studies included in West and O’Neal’s analysis, one found the program to have a negative effect, four found it to be completely void of effect, and the other six found an almost indistinguishable positive effect (West and O’Neal 04). An analysis by the Surgeon General found that there was no difference in drug use between those students who had participated i...

Drugs cause an overall disturbance in a subjects’ physiological, psychological and emotional health. “At the individual level, drug abuse creates health hazards for the user, affecting the educational and general development of youths in particular” (“Fresh Challenge”). In youth specifically, drug abuse can be triggered by factors such as: a parent’s abusive behavior, poor social skills, family history of alcoholism or substance abuse, the divorce of parents or guardians, poverty, the death of a loved one, or even because they are being bullied at school (“Drugs, brains, and behavior”) .

Most people do not understand how a person become addicted to drugs. We tend to assume that is more an individual problem rather than a social problem. However, teen substance abuse is indeed a social problem considered a priority for the USA department of public health due to 9 out of 10 Americans with addictions started using drugs before the age 18 (CASA Columbia University). Similarly, 1 in 4 Americans with addictions started using the substance during their teenage years, which show a significant different with 1 in 25 Americans with addiction who started using at 21 or older (CASA, 2011).
Lane Health Center at Northeastern University can use multiple measures to prevent study drugs usage by students from various walks of life. For example, alternatives should be offered in order to not only send the message of “drugs are bad” but also “there are other things you can do.”
Many people have never heard of one of the most dangerous places in the world, and it is not on land. The Dark Web, also considered the Deep Web, is a hidden part of the internet which is undetected by search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Etc. The dark web not accessible without special browsers. The Dark web is estimated to be 4,000–5,000 times larger than the web that everybody knows about. (Finklea 2015) Although the Dark Web is good for being anonymous, the dark web is being used by too many people for illegal issues. These include: drugs, guns, murders, hitmen, and a numerous amount of other issues. Some people who use the Dark Web believe is it good because it keeps you anonymous. However, a person has to be smart about
The Internet is a connection of computers across the world through a network. Its origin dates back to the 1960s when the U.S Military used it for research, but it became more available to the public from the late 1980s. The World Wide Web was created in 1989 and browsers began appearing in the early 1990s. Over the last 24 years, the Internet has enabled people to shop, play, do research, communicate and conduct business online. It has also become cheaper and faster in performing different tasks. As much as the Internet has done immeasurable good to society, it has also dominated people’s lives and brought with it an array of cybercrimes. According to Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way we Think, Read and Remember (Carr, 2010). He debates on whether the Internet has done more harm than good. People use the Internet daily to exchange accurate information and constantly personal data such as credit cards, passwords and Social Security numbers are travelling through the network from one computer to another. With security measures put in place on the Internet, personal information remains confidential. But unfortunately, criminals have adapted to innovations in technology, and today, more people are increasingly becoming victims of cybercrime. The Internet has had profound effects on the public, both positive and negative. In this paper we will examine how access to personal information has led to an increase in online and offline crimes. The essay will particularly focus on ecommerce and hacking.
It has been discovered that most people who struggle with drug addiction began experimenting with drugs in their teens. Teenage drug abuse is one of the largest problems in society today and the problem grows and larger every year. Drugs are a pervasive force in our culture today. To expect kids not to be influenced by the culture of their time is as unrealistic as believing in the tooth fairy (Bauman 140). Teens may feel pressured by their friends to try drugs, they may have easy access to drugs, they may use drugs to rebel against their family or society, or they may take an illegal drug because they are curious about it or the pleasure that it gives them.
The first step when beginning to implement drug education in a classroom or school is for the individual that is considering the topic to deem why the implementation is important. There are three main reasons teachers have found the implementation to be important. The first reason is that students are more likely to come in contact with drugs by hearing about them, or using them. By having a program implemented into a classroom or school, it can assist individuals to gain knowledge about the topic. The purpose of this is to help individuals make healthy, responsible decisions about drugs now and in the future that will reflect the individual’s identity and morals.
Cybercrime is a global issue plaguing the world. The dictionary defines cybercrime as “crime conducted via the Internet or some other computer network”(Merriam-Webster). The definition remains very broad because the word “cyber” is defined as “relating to the culture of computers, information technology, and virtual reality.” Due to the growing number of people gaining access to the internet, rapid development of technology, and the globalization of the world, more of the world population is becoming susceptible to involvement in cybercrime – whether it be as a victim or a criminal. Cybercrime involves different levels of the world on both the victim and criminal side, from an individual citizen, to small groups, businesses, and the government, to the countries of the world.
