SummaryInternet gambling has been on a huge rise since the year 2000. Poker Stars and Party Poker, the biggest of the online poker rooms, are two of the highest earning companies traded on the London Stock Exchange. Many eighteen, nineteen, and twenty-something geniuses have made seven digit earnings on these websites, creating a new breed of millionaire professional gamblers who, ironically, are still too young to step foot in a brick- and- mortar casino in the United States.

SummaryIntroduction
Ever since the 1980s, PCs and access to the internet have been thriving in thousands of all over the world. Each day, transactions at work, activities inside homes and school work have rapidly become excessively dependent on the use of computers. As these PCs are utilized to organize data, word process documents, email transmissions and search for new information through the internet, nearly 15 million people use the internet each day and has been projected to increase by 25% every 3 months (Cooper 181-187). Though it is a valuable tool for communication, the internet has properties that encourage addictive behaviors and pseudo intimate relationships. Such cyberspace contacts can lead to cyber disorders like virtual relationships that can evolve into online marital infidelity or online sexually obsessive conduct. An increasing mental health concern, cyber disorders like Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD), also known as Pathologic Internet Use (PIU) have been recognized to diagnose grave issues associated with internet usage (Young & Rogers 25-28). However, caution has been proffered by some experts and academics regarding phraseologies until more extensive study can be built up (Shaffer, Hall and Vander Bilt

Summary“The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.” (J.S. Mill)
“It is the responsibility of the state ... to maintain the conditions without which a free exercise of the human faculties is impossible”. (T.H. Green)
Explain and critically assess these different accounts of freedom.
The idea of distinguishing between a negative and a positive sense of the term ‘liberty’ was first examined by Isaiah Berlin in 1958 during a lecture entitled “Two concepts of Liberty”.He defined negative liberty as the absence of constraints, barriers or obstacles on agents' possible actions and “positive liberty [as] the possibility of acting in such a way as to take control of one's life and realize one's fundamental purposes.”Positive liberty is associated with the idea of self-mastery, control, self-determination, self-realization.
On one side, theorists in the classical liberal tradition, like Constant, Humboldt, Spencer and Mill, typically argue that it is not desirable for the state to promote the freedom of citizens on their behalf and defend a negative concept of liberty. In On Liberty, written in 1859, Mill states that “the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.” On the other side, theorists that are critical of the liberal tradition, like Rousseau, Hegel, Marx and T.H. Green, think the state should promote the freedom of citizens and defend a positive concept of political freedom. Green argues that “it is the responsibility of the state [...] to maintain the conditions without which a free exercise of the human faculties is impossible”.
We are going to study these two different accounts of freedom, focusing on J.S. Mill and T.H Green.

SummaryThese days it almost seems as though the internet is synonymous with pornography. When the internet is mentioned on television, there is usually pornography displayed or mentioned. One reason why internet pornography is so popular is because the internet provides anonymity to it’s patrons, allowing them to be freed of social constraints. There is an evident lack of leadership on the internet allowing anarchy to rule the citizens of the internet community. Because of this lack of social control, sexual deviance is rampant on the internet.
In this paper, the reader will learn about sexual deviance and the internet. After thoroughly explaining what sexual deviance is and the kinds of acts that can be considered in this category, this paper will delve into the legal issues surrounding sexual deviance. The paper will then transfer the idea of sexual deviance over to the internet and the laws that are applicable to the internet will be discussed. Since this is a sociological paper, it will conclude with a discussion of how sexual deviance on the internet can be explained in sociological terms by relating this issue to the social control theories of Durkheim, Marx, and Weber.
