Censored?!

Congress is currently considering the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act, both of which would limit the content websites can host. The bills' supporters say they just want to stop piracy. But many websites, including Google and Wikipedia, claim that government regulation of the World Wide Web would infringe on free speech. Should online content be curtailed?

Media

From the ever-expanding Googleverse to the snarky payoff of celebrity gossip, life is splintered and refracted in a million ways by contemporary communication tools. This media has a profound impact on how we perceive ourselves and our world.

Law and Crime

Psychology and the law intersect in the field of forensic science. Legal practitioners require a grasp of human motivation at its most basic and most debased in order to render fair judgment.

Morality

For a topic as subjective as morality, people sure have strong beliefs about what's right and wrong. Yet even though morals can vary from person to person and culture to culture, many are practically universal, as they result from basic human emotions. We may think of moralizing as an intellectual exercise, but more frequently it's an attempt to make sense of our gut instincts.
