... is programmed to enjoy being petted and dislikes being scolded, not unlike real dogs. It also shows happiness by wagging its tail and illuminating its green eyes. Aibo can perform some standard tricks such as sitting and begging, and it can even dance and play music. As sophisticated as it may be, Aibo can not respond to voice commands, and it requires a remote control that emits musical tones the robot recognizes as commands.

... without angling, the rivers would be over populated with fish (who have a very small memory span anyway). It could disrupt the food chain. Hunting wild animals and reptiles is not necessary. The food chain would be just fine if we stopped wild animal hunting, for example, fox hunting, wild cat hunting, elephant hunting, crocodile hunting and whale hunting. We should not kill animals for fur. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors wore animal skins and furs to keep warm and dry. Today we have man made fibres to make such garments. We can also buy man made clothes that look and feel just like real fur, if not more comfortable. There is no ne ...
... to protect your identity- before entering a chat room. Most offer a variety of rooms to go to. Some have a topic to debate; others are for certain age groups. There is even some chat rooms that debate only one idea or cause. For example, during the O.J. Simpson trail, a chat line was formed for those who believed he was guilty. That means people from different countries who knew about the trail went to this specific chat line if they wanted to discuss the progress of the trail with others who shared their opinion. Another common characteristic of chat lines is that they have channel operators. Channel operators are employees of a certain chat line. Their job is t ...
... have a specific date; however, the in Sabinas is usually held on Labor Day weekend. In Acuña it is usually held on the first week of October. The I’m going to talk about is the one held in Acuña, that lasts for three days and three nights. The year I went, day one and two were about 50 kilometers long, while day three was only 20 kilometers. The last day is always shorter so that the girls can ride along with the guys. The word Cabalgar in Spanish means “horseback riding.” That’s the reason why this event is called . This event is organized by an individual that lives in Acuña. The person that organizes this goes through a lot of hard work. F ...
... doesn’t have to do with the class of your parents, but more with what your aptitudes are. This allows people to do what they are good at which usually translates into people being more productive for the community. To keep this ordered, Plato has set up the Myth of the Metals. The Myth of the Metals states that when people are created they have one of four different types of metals in them. A person who has gold in them is destined to become a Ruler, a person who has silver in them is destined to become an auxiliary, and a person who has iron or bronze in them is destined to become a farmer or another worker. It also adds though that just because one̵ ...
... that had sworn to be loyal to the end. Maybe he thought he had a greater loyalty to the common good of society rather than his sworn family. Whom did he really feel that he should be more loyal to? When someone becomes a member of a group, whether by some initiation process or by birth, there are certain expectations. Some of these expectations are traits such as dependability, trust, duty, and the most important of all, loyalty. Without loyalty society would not be able to function. When this man did turn in his friend, he betrayed the family, thus being disloyal to it, but he was exercising his loyalty to something that was more important to him, the g ...
... I remember news reels at the movie theater about the destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a child, I do not really recall feeling threatened by this. I do not remember being disturbed. Perhaps my parents did an especially good job of assuring us that we needn’t worry about such things. I remember my mother, a reminding me of a scripture in the Bible. She is a firm believer that the Bible is the word of God. She assured me with several passages, that God would not allow man to destroy the earth. She read me the passage in Isaiah 45:18. It states: For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the true God, The Former of the eart ...
... and a court order to force Publishers Clearing house to change its marketing practices."

Publishers Clearing House disagrees, contending that their rules are very specific, that they disclose all of their odds, and that people understand the promotions. Debbie Holland, senior vice president of the company insists that "people don't think that they win" when they receive letters from the company notifying that they are the "latest ten million dollar winner." Holland has also suggested that excerpts from their letters such as "you hav ...
... are the ethical issues raised in this case? Morally, it's wrong to improve a program, and publish the newest version. It's like copying homework from a friend, but improving the answers to get a better grade. In this case the second programmer gets all the credit for writing the program. Freeware can be negative in that way, but it also provides a constant improvement of all software. Therefore the quality of the products on the market is consistently growing. This programming competition carries on also within companies; this is the reason why programs like Internet explorer are constantly updated. Another ethical issue brought up is whi ...
... of their talents and minds. Programs like this began to pop up around the nation in the 70's; however, gifted students were looked down upon by teachers,parents, and peers. Many people considered them to be "freaks" because they were different. They didn't understand the implications of the terms "gifted" and "talented". Most people simply expected gifted students to act more mature or to be geniuses, even though gifted students are the same as other children in their needs as human beings. Some gifted students were forced to grow up too fast and some simply ignored the fact that they were smarter than others, thus, they were lost in the shuffle. The iro ...
