Conduit Search is a Browser Hijacker and a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) and though 'technically' not a virus, it unethically installs itself to your personal computer. If Conduit has been installed on your computer, it's hard to remove because it's uninstaller will bot remove all Conduit's files and registry traces. If you would like to change your browser settings manually, it won't allow you to change it because Conduit completely takes over your browser's settings. Additionally, Conduit will install additional adware to your computer, like toolbars and modify your browser's settings like your homepage. It even forces its victims to use its own brand of search engine, Conduit Search, to display advertisements and sponsored (paid) links with its search results. The conduit virus got there in the first place because of some freeware that you may have downloaded to your computer and during the installation got bundled in with other software that was going to be installed. Be careful when installing software from unfamiliar AND known sources. Always select custom installations so as to ignore anything that seems strange, especially software add-ons that you didn't want to begin with. Some Symptoms of Conduit: 1. Conduit can appear in the url window of your browser after you execute a search. Example: http://www.bing.com/search?q=google&pc=**conduit**&ptag=ACE4F04C31DEE4BA4ABF&form=CONADR&conlogo=CT2786678&ShowAppsUI= 2.

While custom may be slower by a minute or two, you will have the opportunity to decline unwanted software that piggy backs with popular downloads. Be patient and read carefully, all the screens with fine print because sometimes they contain tiny check boxes that have to be unchecked. Always read the titles on the buttons because sometimes the decline and accept buttons are switched around or re-worded in a manner that you may actually "okay" the installation of unwanted applications. But if you do catch yourself, then stop the setup of the program in its tracks and start over. Also, If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the Premium version of your anti-virus to protect against these types of threats in the future or purchase a new anti virus all together.
The main focus of Breen's essay the focus is on the fact that colonists in Virginia were driven and motivated to come to the New World, predominantly for monetary reasons. Virginia's soil was found to be unusually well suited for growing tobacco, which is why it drove such a variety of people to migrate there. The colonists, though said to be religious, were extremely individualistic, selfish, as well as primarily drawn in by the economic opportunity in Virginia. These attitudes and ideals are what consequently resulted in numerous military defeats and massacres. They avoided their military obligations, thus naming them the vulnerable “poorly defended white settlements.” These settlements were very easy for the Indians to take advantage of, as Breen writes.
Ralph Nader, Mark Green and Joel Seligman, in an excerpt from Taming the Giant Corporation (1976, found in Honest Work by Ciulla, Martin and Solomon), take the current role of the company board of directors and suggest changes that should be made to make the board to be efficient. They claim the current makeup of the board does not necessarily do justice to the company because “in nearly every large American business…there exists a management autocracy” (Nader, Green and Seligman, 1976, p.570). The main resolution they present is to make the board more democratic with the betterment of the company as its first priority. Currently the board no longer oversees operations, or elects top company executives and they are no longer involved in the business operations to the extent they should be. Nadar, Green and Seligman argue that that all of these things need to be changed. For a corporation so large to be successful there must be separation of powers just as there is in any current government system ( p.571). They claim this is the only and best way to success (Nader, Green and Seligman, 1976, p.570-571).

In our world today every country has their own set of avowed and ascribed identities for it's population. An avowed identity is one a person gives to themselves, a woman might say she’s a sister or a wife. The opposite of that is an ascribed identity, or how society sees someone. For example, a rich person could be perceived as a snob. To ascribe someone with an identity is to judge them based on societal norms. The entertainment industry in America is no different then it's parent culture. Both men and women in this industry have identities placed on them, and they change based on their career. Women are given more negative ascriptions than men in the media. That is how Americans identify people they read about, with the identities the media gives them. Women are more negatively perceived that men in the music and fashion industry because of their ascribed identities in the media, and gender roles in our nation.
