Essays on Conspiracy Theory

The Rothschild banking family went down in history as the owners of the largest private wealth not only in the world but even in history with affiliate properties in London, Naples, Paris, Frankfurt, and Vienna. Currently, the family wealth has been diversified into more economically productive ventures such as financial services, production of wines and soft drinks, energy generation, real estate investments and even mining of minerals (Byford 78). The massive wealth as possessed by the Rothschild family has been a subject of suspicions, speculation and unending doubts about the exact identity of the Rothschild.

Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, details about the assassination have been uncertain for the last 40 plus years due to the fact that many of the tapes with information and evidence have been tampered with, and so many legal experts and scholars, and historians have refuted a lot of the information published on the case and deem them unreliable (“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, due to the irregularities and ...

Accompanying them were the Texas governor, Governor John Connally, and his wife. Sitting in that convertible, the Kennedys and the Connallys waving at ...

Different Perceptions of the Escape TV Show

“Prison Break,” a TV show that aired on the Fox from 2005-2009, seems to be promoting a message of unyielding love between different types of relationships a person has throughout their lives. There are many shows that carry this theme though, so the TV show must be about something else as well. The show is really promoting the escape of realities such as jail, corrupt laws, governments, and companies that, on their face, seem to have twisted ideologies. The show was so successful at promoting this idea to wide audiences, that it went past the two seasons it was ...

Organized crime has often been branded as one of the most difficult types of crimes to deal with, and rightly so, given its nature. The extreme preparedness and structuring that goes into executing each criminal activity, as well as the number of people involved in an organized crime makes it difficult for the investigating authorities to apprehend the criminals involved therein. According to Blacks Law dictionary, the most distinct feature of organized crime is the fact that it is extremely planned and systematic. It is never sudden as it involves many people acting in concert with the common intention ...

Abstract

The instances of organized crime are constantly on the rise. While various theories exist to explain the incidence of organized crime the rational choice theory and the conflict theory best explain the occurrence of organized criminal behavior. It must also be noted that the quality of a social institution defined its ability and adeptness at dealing with instances of organized crime. In some societies, the social institution further propagates inequalities that lay the foundation for the growth of organized crime. This is best explained by the conflict theory that states that the nature of a social institution is such ...

Introduction

While this crime has happened decades ago, it still haunts the minds of investigators, experts, and historians. The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the mysteries that has remained unraveled until these days. Myriads of conspiracy theories linking together the CIA, FBI, KGB, Cuba, and Lyndon B. Johnson, were the result of, as experts admitted, an ambiguous and negligent official report. The assassination of JFK was particularly sudden and shocking for the American people, which required a close and meticulous examination. On November, 1963 President of the U.S. Lyndon B. Johnson has created a special commission for ...

Introduction

The Sandy Hooks debacle sent shock waves throughout the American education system and by extension, compelled other forward thinking nations to review their respective educational systems. In unison, the community around the Sandy Hooks Elementary School, the nation and the international community at large rallied behind the victims of the tragic events. However, one academician in particular shocked the world, the nation and more so, the victims of the fatal shootings (Jaschik, 2015). An associate professor, James Tracy tenured with the Florida Atlantic University’s School of Communication and Media Studies related the events to some conspiracy theory. Parents ...

QUESTION ONE:

Domestic terrorism includes individuals or groups who are based and run wholly within the US or its dominion states without foreign administration, and whose acts are directed only at the people or government of United States. US public will never support domestic terrorism because no one can allow any group to ruin their lives. However, as far as to alienate them is concerned then it is not under the control of the individuals to seek the terrorists and hunt them. Not all anti-government groups are necessarily racist: for example, some members of the militia movement in the 1990s attempted ...

The Assassination of Kennedy

Lee Harvey Oswald made three shots from the Texas School Book Depository Building “fatally wounding President Kennedy and seriously injuring Governor Connally” (“John F. Kennedy assassinated”).

Europe has a dark history when it comes to anti-Semitism. It is the place where one of the worst atrocities in human history was committed by Hitler’s Third Reich under the guise of the purification of the Aryan race. Europe is not alone on the anti-Semitism wagon. The creation of the state of Israel in the midst of Muslim nations has also triggered a fresh wave of anti-Semitism that is threatening to destabilize not only the Middle East but the whole world. The constant bickering between Iran, which is fighting to create a nuclear weapon and Israel, which is trying to ...

Introduction

The assassination of Luther King is one of the conspiracy theories that has sparked a lot of controversy. Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader was killed on April 1968 using a sniper bullet. King was killed while on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel located in Memphis. The conspiracy theory regarding the death of Martin Luther King Jr. does not have sufficient evidence that would make it possible to peg the death of King on particular individuals. This is because some of the evidence to assert the claims do not have sufficient backing as they are different from the actual ...

The concept of critical thinking entails a way of finding out whether the information received is true or false. There are six principles that govern the process of critical thinking. The first principle dictates that for an extraordinary claim to be made it must be supported by extraordinary evidence. The level of extraordinariness of a claim is determined by how much a claim goes against what we already believe. The more a claim is unexpected, the more one needs in terms of supporting evidence so that a claim can be believed. This theory is important in critical thinking because it pushes one beyond ...

Conspiracy theories and rumors are the creation of people who have extraordinary minds to exaggerate ideas and event happenings in a non-desirable or negative way. People who spread rumors tend to have a lack of education and wisdom. However, it is also observed that even education does not stop people from sharing information that is not even known to exist. Some people disseminate information while threatening about something such as GMO foods or weapons of mass destruction etc. Thus, it is a continuing practice in today’s world to speak without thinking and believing in things or rumors that do not exist ...

Half a century has passed since the tragic death of the U.S. President John Kennedy. However, heated debates are still taking place on whether JFK’ death was a simple murder or an assassination. After doing some extensive research, considering conclusions of various investigation boards, I have to agree with the idea that Kennedy was not simply killed by an angry American, but was rather assassinated as a result of a planned evil plot. According to USAtoday.com there are six major theories on who shot Kennedy. Among the presumed conspirators were the CIA, the Mafia, the Soviets, the Cubans and Lyndon Johnson. Nearly a ...

Fluoride is a naturally occurring compound that is used in the formulation of toothpastes to help prevent tooth decay. Because of its positive effects on teeth, especially for children who do not yet have permanent teeth, the American Dental Association has endorsed community water fluoridation in America since 1950 (American Dental Association, 6). However, along with the long-term endorsement of the American Dental Association for the project, anti-fluoride activists have also been hard pressed in getting the compound out of America’s drinking water. Fluoride opponents have cited research finding that high levels of fluoride – about 4 milligrams per liter – ...

"Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers / And the lakes that you’re used to."

(TLC, "Waterfalls") In the immortal words of TLC in their song "Waterfalls," they describe the dangers of unsafe sex - the boy chasing 'waterfalls', because of his "natural obsession for temptation," finds himself paying the price for his dangerous behavior - "His health is fading and he doesn't know why / 3 letters took him to his final resting place" (Etheridge et al., 1994). The three letters are undoubtedly "HIV," and this attitude about HIV and AIDS is one focused on with particular relish by Elizabeth Pisani in her essay "Sacred Cows."

Five Causes for the Public to Not Trust the Government.

The U.S. government has been the subject of countless conspiracy theories, controversies and slanders. For many, their trust in their government has faltered in recent years. This is largely due to the government’s handling of events such as 9/11, the war in Iraq and the financial recession: many Americans have been left deeply unsatisfied by the government’s handling of these events. Many even discussed the idea that 9/11 was operated by the U.S. government themselves: one site, entitled “911truth.org” even has a whole page dedicated to “The Top 40 Reasons to Doubt the Official Story of September 11, ...
