i.

To communicate with your desired server providing the website you want to visit, the proxy has to decrypt your traffic and thus the internet provider of the proxy server is able to see the unencrypted data stream. This can be avoided by chaining proxies together or by simply using a service like Tor which redirects your traffic through 3 proxies, so called "nodes".
William sat on the edge of his seat and listened to Jeanette explain the organizational structure of Beacon Academy. “Beacon Academies are charter schools; we are accountable only to the state granting the charter, and a national board of directors. As charter schools, we are schools of choice - we derive our students from a variety of public school districts.

Our long-term goal is nothing short of a complete revolution of America’s system of compulsory public education that is determined based on student residency.

Living a Lie: The Effects of Society on an Individual By: Dwight B. The correlation between truth and ideals is one of great importance in how an individual asserts himself in society. Individuals may have hard times expressing themselves in society if they believe in cause that those around them do not.

Marianne Giesemann’s work is like a part of an underground society that helps those above ground perform better and have a more productive life with the products that she makes. These products that she makes and designs with a group of talented specialists work to help people of different professions perform their job with a higher level of efficiency.

Sammy, a nineteen year old cashier at a local grocery store, is not pleased with his job, with his customers, or with the A&P in which he works. Sammy says that “after [he checks out customers] enough, it begins to make a little song, that [he hears] words to” (Updike 19).

Lengel thinks that he is the “head lifeguard” (Updike 19) who can treat everyone as if they are lower than him.
