Within the last decade the amount of illegal sharing of copyrighted music has become a growing problem.  Artists and record labels complain that sharing music files strips the rightful distributors of compensation for their work.  Some consider file sharing "stealing" while others think nothing of it.

With current technology it is quite easy to make illegal copies of music.  There are many workarounds for protected content such as cracks, format loopholes, and false authorization.

On Facebook people can post anything they want from their birthday to a video of them doing a keg stand at the crazy party they were at that weekend. Currently, part of the hiring process that most companies do is a Facebook background check, and most without even informing you. Some companies even go to the lengths of keeping a file folder of printed documents of what people said on your wall, what you said on other people’s wall, and pictures that aren’t too professional.

I would like to work on a white paper that focuses on eBay’s high rates of fraud.  Being somebody who has been a victim of fraud on eBay, I am very interested in researching this topic.

I was part of a squadron responsible for ensuring maximum fighting capabilites of these aircraft. 

In the summer following my freshman year, I interned at a human rights law firm in New Delhi that was specifically concerned with women's rights advocacy. I worked with a Supreme Court lawyer, researched case law, helped draft petitions and edited articles for the firm's monthly. The internship left me better educated about women's rights and the legal process.

My most relevant work experience is my internship last summer with Boeing.  I worked as a Weight Engineer on the 787 program.  In this position, I studied the structure of the airplane, gathered weight data for the 787 as well as the other legacy airplanes, and researched relationships between physical characteristics and stress, strain, etc.
