...POS – 301 November 2, 2014 Professor Biddle My Rights and Freedoms As a citizen of the United States I do not appreciate the freedom and rights given. I have not thought about how fortunate I am to live in a country that allows freedom of speech, freedom of expression, or my favorite, freedom of religion. Throughout this assignment I will explain which freedom in the first amendment relates to me the most, discuss why the Bill of rights are important, and discuss the process for amending the Constitution. The freedom in the first amendment of the constitution relates to me the most would be Freedom of Religion. Freedom of Religion states that as an American I can practice ANY religion I want or I do not have to practice any religion at all. The reason freedom of religion relates to me most is because I am a strong believer in the idiom “to each his own”. I do not care if my friend is Jewish, Hindu, Christian, the list goes on. I think expressing one’s self is extremely important and religion is one of those ways. To me, what a person’s religion is does not determine if they are a good person or not. There are people that consider themselves “Jewish” or “Christian” but yet they are extremely mean and do not care about others. Freedom of religion allows for every single citizen of the United States to have a sense of freedom. We do not feel obligated to have a certain type of religion, which is better! The reason I say this is because if we are not forced to follow...

...To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in regards to a high school position at your school I believe that my enthusiasm for Social Studies, students and learning would make me an excellent candidate for this position. I believe as educators we are ourselves are constantly learning what works and what doesn’t work by our diverse students and it is essential as teachers to keep in mind the needs of each and every one of our students. I am confident that my lesson plans and curriculum are designed to fit the requirements of the New York State Standards and the Common Core, which also reflects my contribution as a teacher to the classroom. I have a strong understanding of student development and have been consistently recognized by my cooperating teacher and her administrators for the relationships I create with my students in conjunction to the functionality of the classroom. My purpose in the classroom is to create a free space where students can engage in critical thinking, making inferences and supporting their ideas and opinions with primary and secondary sources. I believe it is important to utilize up to date pieces of information to engross the student’s attention and participation in the classroom. Being that our students are technologically savvy I also believe it is important to incorporate technology into lesson planning. I am also fluent in Greek and am to communicate with students and parents from Greek-speaking households in hopes to promote their parents...

...Week 4 Assignment Human Freedom Kelley Morris Strayer University Soc. 100 Dr. K 1-28-2012 For this assignment I have chosen to discuss the social issue of human freedom. My definition of human freedom is deciding for yourself what is right and wrong, moral and unmoral and not because or the influence of another individual. In an article by G.C. Berkouwer, freedom is defined by being free from all restrictions, but throws no light at all on the nature of human freedom. Berkouwer goes on to explain that even though we are a free human race, we put restrains on ourselves. For example, deportation is not an act of human freedom. This means to me that only U.S. citizens have freedom. Even the U.S. conforms a certain amount of control on people. Cell phones and computers have become a tracking device to watch our every action. In another article, the definition of human freedom is said to “vary in every culture and political ideology”. It also says “they have no right to say which one these definitions are correct,” from “Freedom and the Human Being” by Fabio Fermi. I totally agree that each culture’s social freedom is very different. The U.S. has the “Declaration of Independence” to define human freedom. Further us, the human race and society, conforms how much human freedom each person deserves or earns. Social categories that may/are affected by human freedom are Employment status, wealth, marital status, education level of adults and many others. Employment statuses...

...Assignment 2: Outline List of References Marquis S. Manuel Strayer University Hypothesis: Anyone that joins the military not only is serving their country but also is agreeing to gives up their human rights or freedom. Sociological Concepts: Human rights or liberties would include A. The condition of being free from restriction or control. B. The right of power to act, believe, or express of one’s self in any manner of choice C. A condition of being physically and legally free from confinement. Practical Implications: For the practical implications for human freedom. A. Religious belief B. Liberty Evidence: Religious freedom: “In the 1990s, religious freedom was one of the first rights to be recognized under international law”. Even in today’s time reviews of formal international and national documents on religion suggests that governments and the international community recognize the position of religious freedoms in the constellation of human rights. The protection of fundamental human rights was a foundation stone in the establishment of the United States around 200 years ago. Since then, the central goal of U.S. foreign policy has been the promotion of respect for human rights, as embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The U.S understands that the existence of human rights helps secure the peace, deter aggression, promote the rule of law, combat crime and corruption, strengthen democracies, and prevent humanitarian crises.

Rights are often considered fundamental to civilization, being regarded as established pillars of society and culture,[2]and the history of social conflicts can be found in the history of each right and its development. According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "rights structure the form of governments, the content of laws, and the shape ofmorality as it is currently perceived Each legal right that an individual possesses relates to a corresponding legal duty imposed on another.

...Unit 40 – P3 Within this assignment I will be describing legislations and frameworks which govern work with individuals with dementia. To do this I will be explaining four different legislations as well as one framework and discuss how they affect and support the care of individuals with dementia. Data Protection Act 1998: The Data Protection Act 1998, in its current form was put into place in March 2000 to give individuals the right of access to 'personal data'. This personal data qualifies as any information held by a company or setting that relates to an individual. Personal data is often collected when someone completes a purchase from a service or company. It can consist of contact, bank or any other details about the individual such as the history of their health or family's health. However, much of the data that is collected is sensitive and if it were to fall into the wrong hands, it could result in it being used against the individual. With so much personal data held by organisations, there needs to be some kind of rules for companies to follow if they are to ensure that data is handled fairly. The Data Protection Act acts as a foundation for providing these rules. The Data Protection Act 1998 helps to support the care of individuals with dementia because it gives both individuals with dementia and their family expectations of how their information will be used and ensures it will only be used legally. The act ensures that data is stored and disposed of securely...

...Jennifer Smith – Guided Journal Entry “On Being an American” The timing of this assignment could not have been more perfect. As I sit down to reflect upon what being an American means to me, I do so on the heels of preparing for tomorrow evening’s Law Seminar class where we are in the throes of the Con Law – boring as it sounds, studying the Constitution for approximately 15 to 12 hours a week. And with this being said, I will begin my guided journal entry by describing my new found reverence for our founding fathers and for the great resolve I now have to uphold the Constitution and embrace my freedoms – thoughts to which I have not given much consideration before Law Sem and this assignment. Our country’s architects envisioned a nation that protects life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the forceful interference by others. This assignment will attempt to describe my passion for being American based on those three protections. Regarding the protection of life, being an American means living a life of freedom where justice, equality, and fairness are paramount in our legal system. As an American, I want to support our government and its interests and want to do my best to remain loyal to our nation’s leaders. However, when I differ with our leaders, I am confident that I, as an American, have a hand in appointing the appropriate leaders by voting and by taking responsibility to be fully informed and aware of the issues that I am either not in agreement or...
