...Period 4 Mrs. Gardner 23 May 2018 The Freedom of Speech “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech…” Why should the 1st amendment be changed now? Should groups like the Neo-Nazis be stripped of their constitutional rights? A huge controversy has arisen on whether groups like the Neo-Nazi should have the right to protest and have full freedom of speech. Despite this heated debate, Neo-Nazis should have the right to speak their opinion because of the freedom speech guaranteed in the constitution, the right to purchase a protest permit, and lastly to further prevent rebellion. Neo-Nazis as well as any other group or American citizen have the first amendment right. The first amendment states, “Congress...

...Officer Wright. Adrian’s freedom was not restricted in any way because Adrian voluntarily sat inside the police cruiser to get out of the cold air. Both Officer Wright and Adrian sat inside the police cruiser only because of the cold weather. Adrian never asked to leave, never asked if the doors were locked, and was never told to stay by Officer Wright. Furthermore since Officer Wright did not need to Mirandize Adrian, her bracketed statement should be admissible in court. CASES * Berkemer v. McCarty * In this case, the officer did not need to Mirandize the defendant because he was not in custody; Miranda warnings are only given when a person is in custody and their freedom is significantly restrained. The court decided that the Officers do not need to Mirandize at traffic stops or evening when roadside questioning is taken into effect, considering it was not “custodial interrogation”. Adrian was not in custody when Officer Wright was talking to her. She voluntarily sat inside the police cruiser because it was too cold outside; her freedom was not retrained from her. * Oregon v. Mathison * This case also talks about how the defendant voluntarily comes into the police station and speaks about the burglary crime and confesses to it before being Mirandized. To admit his confession as evidence it does not violate his fifth or sixth Amendment rights because he was not in custody, was not under arrest and was not restricted from his freedom. The Court also stated...

...need not to fall apart and how much diversity must it provide in order to secure freedom for its citizens? This has been the central question of political philosophy from the very beginning. As much freedom as possible and as much unity as necessary leads to a society which serves the human good.” Stephan Eisel, the fellow worker of Konrad Adenauer Foundation The relationship between individual and society directly influences the relationship between individual freedom and society order. Upon the problems of individual versus community and personal freedom versus social order, the pioneer philosophers mainly think and answer it in tow basic ways. One part of philosophers and thinkers emphasize wholeness, inevitability and divinity and advocate that the whole is more important than the part; the society is more important than the individual. Another part of philosophers view the issue at opposite angle. Why do individual and society, individual freedom and social order stay in opposition to each other? On the one hand, the reason is that any person has irrational component inside him; the rational component registers as being controlled and is inclined to be in order; the irrational component registers as being impulsive and is inclined to the diversity. One the other, the individual freedom requires the equality, but the maintenance of the social order would sacrifice some individuals’ freedom without a doubt. It seems to me that the equality among the persons refers to being...

...Pamela Garrett How important is the right to privacy? The right to privacy is not listed in the U.S Constitution, “but the Supreme Court has said that several of the amendments create this right. One of the amendments is the Fourth Amendment, which stops the police and other government agents from searching us or our property without "probable cause" to believe that we have committed a crime. Other amendments protect our freedom to make certain decisions about our bodies and our private lives without interference from the government - which includes the public schools.” These rights are very important to citizens in society. Without these rights, each citizen will be suppressed and violated. The rights of the individual should always be upheld. We obviously have far more rights to privacy than the citizens in the book "Matched" by Allie Condie. In the book Matched by Allie Condie, the citizens are forced to contend with a lack of privacy in their society. This lack of privacy is dangerous to society because of certain violations that this can bring; such as inference of the government in our daily lives and restriction of the fundamental rights that we are entitled to. In the book Matched, the government keeps an eye on every citizen. This constant surveillance is evidence of the lack of privacy going on in their society. The issue of lack of privacy is a major one in the story, and it was an issue that America has had to deal with. I cite the Patriot Act as an example. The...

...Should media be controlled by the government? I have been living in a community that always struggles to settle this matter, where there is a push and pull between the government and the public in trying to settle the issue, in a way that satisfies everyone. The government has had its share of justifications, where it is always of the idea that it should take up control of media, so has the public who fall towards the opinion of the government, where some say that the governments are right so that they would protect any wrongful acts for things said, whereas others are of the idea that we should be given our own freedom to be able to say anything we want to. In my country, Kuwait the government has assumed control over the media through many censures of magazines, movies and programs aired in television. Though the constitution guarantees for freedom, but only under the confines of the law, it seems contradictory. There are various sources that shed light in this issue of government control in my country. We are going to look at three of them; the world press freedom review, the Amman j blog and the spokesman review. Many newspapers are individually owned, and though this maybe the situation which would allow for any kind of expressions of opinions, the newspapers are restricted to speaking against the government or the Islamic religion to some degree. There is an instance where according to a report, from the world press freedom, that a certain publication was viewed as offering...

...Gateway (Second Draft) Most of all of Supreme Court case from the time of Tinker V. Des Monies case have restricted the student rights of expression, student must be free to express themselves without unfair limits and the Tinker vs. Des Moines cases affirmed the rights of students to express themselves and the 1st Amendment prohibits laws that limit free expression. The case of Tinker v. Des Monies was rather a simple one. The case of whether the first amendment applied to students or just adults. The students argued that they should be allowed to wear armbands to display their praise for the people of the dead during the war. The staff thought this shouldn’t be allowed, mostly because of their influence of their actions might disrupt the learning environment of the class and (possibly) the school. This is understandable. They only wanted was best for the students. Although they are doing this for the best for the students, isn’t this a little restricting? Yeah sure, they don’t want the students to form a riot, but not allowing them to express their feelings from the war by not letting them wear arm bands, worse case not allowing them to return until they didn’t wear it? That’s the reason why the case was started in the first place. This could be avoided if they were allowed to wear the armbands in school…to a certain extent that is. Besides, this could be the exact reason why a riot might form, the restrictions is causing a stressful strain to the students and couldn’t...

...“Separation of Church and State ... and School” Should religion be restricted from public schools? Even in 2014, religion in public schools continues to be an intense elusive issue. The right to freedom of religion is so central to democracy that it was embedded in the First Amendment of our U.S. Constitution. Our Founding Fathers wisely endorsed strict separation of church and state to ensure religious freedom for all faiths and individuals. The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...” (U.S. Constitution – December 15, 1791). These two clauses promote free practice of religion by Americans without state interference. Compliance and adherence with the separation of church and state must be enforced in the nation's public schools, yet religion should not be completely restricted from the public school system. Not supporting religion is extremely important in the public school setting because of the specific vulnerability and sensitivity of students. Most children hold teachers and administration at a high level of expectation, viewing them as significant authority figures. Furthermore, children are highly gullible to coercion. Introducing religion in the public schools create these significant risk. In addition, American public schools are growing increasingly diverse. Schools must institute special consideration to the fact that many schoolchildren belong to minority religions...

It has been noticed that most the sufferers exchanged from Southern to Main and European European countries and also to Northern The united states and Japan, are females trafficked for pressured prostitution. Although due to the surreptitious personality of this criminal activity, any available figure or data does not signify the real condition of the things. The visitors in reasons other than prostitution, such as pressured weddings and pressured labor etc, does not entice enough attention of the law organs; therefore the potential of the sufferers to get help is restricted. The state policies and the rules of many nations have the propensity to decrease the chance of getting some complicated actions on the matter of the issue of visitors with purpose of pressured prostitution. Although, in the last several years, within the structure of worldwide controversy and especially in the material of UN records, has showed up a confidence that the reasons for which the individuals are trafficked and the methods in which it is done are different...

...North American Literature 2014-2015. Individual Freedom restricted by Puritans. Analysis of Hester, Chillingworth and Dimmesdale. [Nathaniel Hawthorne; The Scarlet Letter] ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to analyze how Nathaniel Hawthorne deals with the theme of freedom focusing on the major characters such as Hester, Chillingworth and Dimmesdale. I argue that, there is a sign of individual freedom due to the fact that all the characters have the right to act in the way they do it but they will be always suppressed by the decisions of the Puritans. I also argue that, there is no collective freedom in terms of society because Puritanism restricts, punishes and judges individual actions. Key words: major characters, individual freedom, suppressed, no collective freedom. The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850, is constructed by the main themes of isolation and suffering. Moreover, sin and the Puritan law are narrowly connected, making the wish of freedom almost an impossible achievement. Over the course of the novel, Hester is the only one who truly manifests her right of individual freedom. However, she has been punished by the Puritan law, which considers her attitude as a threat to the Puritan community and its religion. Hester’s freedom starts since the moment she decides to carry her punishment in New England and not going back to England, where she could have lived a new life without feeling guilty. Furthermore, her self-determination...

...Hunger Games, and The Giver. In the book, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, the reader meets Tally Youngblood. Tally Youngblood is 16 and she lives in Uglyville. Tally has a best friend Peris that is 3 months older than her who was turned pretty first. It states on page 3 “Tally takes on the roles of vandal, outcast, and informer.” Utopia is not attainable because there cannot be a perfect world, as dystopia is defined as an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or miserable. Therefore, Uglies is an example of dystopian literature because society is controlled by technology through computers, robots, and scientific means, citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance, and information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted. First, an element of dystopian literature portrayed in Uglies occurs when society is controlled by technology through computers, robots, and scientific means. For example, its states on page 23 “Elevator requested,” said the elevator. “Up or down?” This shows that the elevator is a robot and can talk because the government builds it and can control the talking elevator. Also, the elevator asks her what floor she wants to go. According to the text on page 170 “ Her fingers fumbled, looking for a clasp. She wished she had her interface ring to give her instructions.” This clearly proves, the interface ring can help Tally and give her information. This indicates that the interface ring can obey her and is a robot. It is also controlled...

...people were considered inferior to the white people. Black people did not have equal rights compared to the white people. Blacks did not have the respect they deserved and the right to speak freely. Martin Luther King, however, choose to speak his mind. He spoke to the public about how everyone should be equal. He chose to be a leader and an advocator of freedom. The consequences of his actions were obvious, even to him. However, he had the freedom to choose what he wanted to do with his life, even under the restrictions of society. Black people restricted the popular rapper, Eminem. He was resticted because of his skin color, because rapping was a "black mans sport." Eminem was discouraged by the crowed, who were all black. However, even discouraged by the crowd, Eminem did not want to live in the poor condition he grew up in. He chose to live a better life by rapping for living. Even though discouraged by many, Eminem today is one of the most popular rappers in the world. Surely, this shows that he was not bound by any force that inhibited his choice in life. The lives of Martin Luther King and Eminem are only two examples that clearly illustrates the fact that people are not restricted by rules of society. Schooling, organized religion, discrimination, and other social restrictions do not restrict people. People have...
