The State in Disarray: US Oversight of Private Security Contractors
Get PDF“Putting mercy back in mercenary” became the slogan of Blackwater Worldwide after harsh criticism from the media tarnished their image. Blackwater is just one example of a private firm working for the US government. The War in Iraq that began in 2003 had for the first time, contractors performing security functions for military men in an unstable environment (Elsea). Given the heightened reliance on PSCs from the Department of State and Department of Defense, the US government has taken on the burden of establishing regulations to govern their actions and hold them accountable. On September 16, 2007, Blackwater security personnel working for the State Department opened fire at Nisour Square in Baghdad killing 17 Iraqi civilians causing the effectiveness of US oversight to come into immediate question. What protocol was in place to prevent such an abuse of power, who established accountability, and where were the US supervisors? It appeared that PSCs working for the State Department were answerable to no one. It became apparent that the United States had failed to provide adequate oversight for State Department private security contractors in Iraq

Junior Mints and Their Bigger Than Bite-Size Role in Complicating Product Placement Assumptions
Get PDFThis thesis examines the various complications of product placement within television given the general assumption that it always paid for as a means of advertising. Using the popular television sitcom Seinfeld and the infamous 1993 episode, “The Junior Mint,” as an example of non-paid product placement, it is herein argued that the use of this practice should be examined on an individual basis. Furthermore, this thesis seeks to clarify the misassumptions that most people have by arguing against critics who, in defining product placement, often fail to mention any instances in which it is not paid for. Various examples of non-paid product placements are therefore included in the argument. Historical background of the product placement practice and the nature of advertising within television are also provided, as well as explanations of the critical discussions surrounding this issue. It is recommended that all previous assumptions be put aside so as to understand the overwhelming complexity of this rapidly growing trend
