I decided to attend an open Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting that is held every Friday of the week at 8:00 pm at the Presbyterian church. This AA group was a fairly large group with around fifty people showing up, individuals would get into three small groups and decide on a “table leader” and then go about their business. This offers clients the opportunity to talk and express any hardships on their minds, things that went on throughout the week and how it made them feel, discuss backgrounds,…

It is evident that Alcoholic Anonymous is a support group. According to Forsyth (2014), “A group of people who meet or communicate with one another regularly to help each other cope with or overcome a problem they hold in common” (p. 543). This support group consisted of testimonials, the need for help, have mutual encouragement, and change the member’s social networks (Forsyth, 2014). Everyone in this group from the leader (facilitator) is a recovering alcoholic. I notice that the…

The Alcoholics Anonymous meeting I attended was at the Parish Hall at the St. Stephen’s Church in Quinebaug, CT. The meetings are every Monday night at 7 PM. It was a small little hall with four long tables pushed together to give the feeling we were sitting in a circle. There was a row of additional seats behind one of the tables for extra people. It was a mixed group of about twenty men and women. There was a wide age range of people from young adults to elderly although most of them were…

Last Saturday night, I went to an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Joyful Servant Lutheran Church which is called the KISS fellowship. Each member of the fellowship has the chance to run the meeting, and most of them are alcoholics. It is basically a welcome of newcomers and sharing of personal experience and ideas. The meeting has about 33 people, including visitors and sponsors. Ages vary from young adult to old people, but most are at middle age. Most of them are male. The fellowship sets…

On the evening of October 13th, 2016, I attended my first Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. It was on the second floor of the Fayetteville VA, in the auditorium. As I ran upstairs, I bumped into a person who looked familiar, and told them so. “I was thinking the same thing,” they told me. We spoke briefly and discovered we did not know each other. Inside the auditorium, a large square of tables was surrounded by chairs, most of which were occupied. Behind the tables was a single row of freestanding…

Orifice software. Hacktivists designed this software for remote administration of a computer system. Back Orifice has enabled Hacktivists to encrypt, code and exploit injustices around the world (“Back Orifice.”). Similarly, the Hacktivist group, Anonymous, influenced the public through internet platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. Lulz Security (a recently disbanded Hacktivist group) worked to eliminate pornogoraphy and warn corporations of security flaws within their organizations (“By…

reminiscing about the way things were and they teach the Newfags the traditions albeit using some of the most colorful language imaginable. (Knuttilia, 2011). Moralfags are those of the type that eventually split off to form the hacktivist collective Anonymous. These people exist in moral ambiguity and operate under the assumption that illegal acts can have morally correct outcomes. This behavior affects their actions on the site. The /i/nsurgent has one purpose: to cause as much grief as…

paper, I will argue that the group Anonymous aren’t criminals and their actions are ethical. I will argue that this thesis is true from the utilitarianism view; they are hacking for the good of the people. Some examples I will include are Project Chanology, Hal Turner, and Operation DarkNet. I will also consider the opposing position that Anonymous are bad and unethical. I will argue that it is mistaken because of misknowledge of the operations and what Anonymous’ purpose is. Also, that hacking…
