To whom it may concern:
What would you do if you knew that one of your childs friends were being abused at home? Well, it may not be your childs friend per say but things like this happen everyday. I don't think that people really realize how many children get abused everyday. The statistics get higher and higher day by day. This is a major issue in America today. It's hard for children to step up and take a stand, so they have to deal with it until they can do something about it, if it's not too late by then.
This is a problem that needs to be stopped. As a child, i had been abused, and it is not something that anyone should have to go through. i am just lucky that i got out of the home in time. if i would've stayed in the home much longer, i probably wouldn't be here today. I am NOT the only child that has been abused in their life. Stop. Take a look around, and think, maybe that child acts the way it does because he/she is being abused at home. You may look at things clearer then.
If you know that a child is being abused and you don't do anything about it, i honestly think that you are doing just as much harm to that child as the abuser is, it's self. Abuse it's something you ca n just brush off your shoulder. Abuse is something that sticks with you forever. It haunts you. It makes you wonder about people and how they think. Who may hurt me next? How do i defend myself next time something like this happens? These are questions that flow in and out of my mind everyday.
I know you are thinking that i am probably just talking about physical abuse. well, i'm not. i'm talking about mental, social, and emotional abuse as well. Everyone has feelings therefore, everyone also has needs. Once you hurt someone physically, emotionally, or mentally, it is very hard for them to recover, if they ever make it that far. This is something that i take very seriously and also something that i want to try and prevent.
If you see someone being abusive in anyway to a child, step up, be the better person, and save that childs' life. They may not be here tomorrow if you decide to hold off and call the police the next morning. I bet, you wouldn't want to live with the thought that you could've helped that child, but now they are dead and there is no turning back now. You can't bring that child back to life and let it live like it should. That's just not right. Do something about it, NOW.

I don't think that anyone should try to stop people from eating what they want. if someone wants eat unhealthy than that is their decision! It shouldn't be anyones concern. we are who we are, and no one is going to change it.

You have to look at society and the way it is today. You have to put in mind that girls and boys at the age of 14 are having sex, then yes they are doing something wrong, but they need to be safe about it. If they are going to get the morning after pill then they are taking some kind of responibility they are taking. either they have sex and get pregnant and get an abortion, or have an unhealthy child, or they ask for some help. That's my opinion.

2. research the first ammendment and the right to
privacy....name five parts of the first amendment
prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
3. examine how much privacy one has in the digital age we live. Write a paragraph
In my opinion, in the digital age that we live in today you have as much privacy you allowed there to be. the reasoning for that is, when you post something online you know that everyone can read it. if you don't want someone to read it, don't post it. On the other hand, now adays there are soo many ways that FBI or other higher acts can see practicaslly anything you text, calls or anything.
4. research the patriot act and summarize it in a paragraph.
5. write a paragraph detailing if the patriot act is a violation of the first amendment
You could look at it either way, i guess. If you are doing something that is completely and outragously against the law, they should be able to be in your bussinsess. but if your not than i don't think they should have that right. You're life is your life, and unless you're not braking the law, you should be able to have as much privacy as you want. It should only be fair, that way.

4. research the patriot act and summarize it in a paragraph.
Congress passed the Patriot Act in response to the terrorists attacks of 9.11 The Act gives federal officials greater authority to track and intercept communications, both for law enforcement and foreign intelligence gathering purposes. It vests the Secretary of the Treasury with regulatory powers to combat corruption of U.S. financial institutions for foreign money laundering purposes. It seeks to further close our borders to foreign terrorists and to detain and remove those within our borders. It creates new crimes, new penalties, and new procedural efficiencies for use against domestic and international terrorists. Although it is not without safeguards, critics contend some of its provisions go to far. Although it grants many of the enhancements sought by the Department of Justice, others are concerned that it does not go far enough.

America has went through many things since 9/11. From safer school surroundings to safer environment surroundings. We all try to work together to make sure things are safe as well. 9/11 made a big impact on some people, yet some people have no clue what, and why it even happened.
Secrutiy is something that has changed since 9/11. Now things are monitored. People make sure that nothing 'funky' is going on so that something like 9/11 or worse won't happen again. You have to be ID'ed for practically everything now. Which, i believe is a very good idea.
A lot of loved ones died during that tragic day. Innocent people at that. So many people can remeber September 11th like it was just yesterday. It set's a certain image in different people's minds when we speak of it.
Another thing that has changed since September 11th is foriegner acts. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments of 2008 is because of 9/11, as well. The act prohibits any person from illegally intercepting, disclosing, using or divulging phone calls or electronic communications. It prohibits the individual states from investigating, sanctioning, or requiring disclosure by large telecoms and protects them from lawsuits. The act requires the government to keep records on surveillance for a period of 10 years. It increased the time for warrantless surveillance from 48 hours to 7 days. It requires government agencies to cease warranted surveillance of a targeted American if they enter the United States.
There are many other things that have changed in America since 9/11. I could go on forever. But just think everyone can make some kind of difference. don't think you can't becuase everything you do is making a change. So stand up and help! The world is changing: you can help.

America has went through many things since 9/11. From safer school surroundings to safer environment surroundings. We all try to work together to make sure things are safe as well. 9/11 made a big impact on some people, yet some people have no clue what, and why it even happened.
Secrutiy is something that has changed since 9/11. Now things are monitored. People make sure that nothing 'funky' is going on so that something like 9/11 or worse won't happen again. You have to be ID'ed for practically everything now. Which, i believe is a very good idea.
A lot of loved ones died during that tragic day. Innocent people at that. So many people can remeber September 11th like it was just yesterday. It set's a certain image in different people's minds when we speak of it.
Another thing that has changed since September 11th is foriegner acts. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments of 2008 is because of 9/11, as well. The act prohibits any person from illegally intercepting, disclosing, using or divulging phone calls or electronic communications. It prohibits the individual states from investigating, sanctioning, or requiring disclosure by large telecoms and protects them from lawsuits. The act requires the government to keep records on surveillance for a period of 10 years. It increased the time for warrantless surveillance from 48 hours to 7 days. It requires government agencies to cease warranted surveillance of a targeted American if they enter the United States.
There are many other things that have changed in America since 9/11. I could go on forever. But just think everyone can make some kind of difference. don't think you can't becuase everything you do is making a change. So stand up and help! The world is changing: you can help.

I Don't think it should matter how he gave his speech. If he uses humor, so be it. That;s the way he wants to approach things. Everyone looks at things differently.
class work 9/7
Stage One: The federalists was orginially published with the intent with persuading New York's anti-federalist population to vote in favor of the Constitution. However, nine states were needed so the Constitution would've gone into effect without Virginia or NY's vote. The series of essay's provided a thorough and rational explanations of importance of the new US Gov. The central gov, the old gov. could not carry out it's responsibilities. They didn't have enough means to provide common defense through power of taxation and the raising of an army. It could not provide trade regulations, inforce foreign treaties, or protect the states from invasion. Because it had no power to empel it's individual states to follow it's rulings. The Gov. created by the US constitution which put the power in the hands of the people, had the strength of the unified 13 states, protecting each individual person.
Stage Two: The US provides an army through taxation to provide protection for it's citizens. It works with other countries to create peace for our nation. In the US, the state and federal governements work together in protecting the common good. The state governments are depended upon for their elections and membership in senate. The states often serve as a testing ground that later become national laws. It keeps the Gov. closer to the people.
Stage Three: In Vietnam the country does not protect it's citizens as it should. Police mistreat suspects during arrest using lethal force and extreme prison conditions. Citizens are arrested for political and denied the right of affair and expeditious trial. Political influence and ineffeciency have distorted the judicial system. The Gov. limits privacy rights and freedom of press, speech, and assembly. Freedom of religion continues to be treated unfairly. The Gov. prohibits independet human rights organizations, violence against women and human intrafficing continues.
Their citizens do not have the right to change their Gov. peacfully and they don't freely choose the officials that govern them. All authority and poliotcal power can not be up to one power and in Vietnam it is the communist party.
Stage Four: “This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties.” – 1787
It is a shame that it took such a tragedy, as of September 11, 2001, to remind a country of what we can do if we all stand together. On that day, we were all American, no color, no sexual orientation, no economic status.

Every person has there own way in sexuality. let them be who they are, not who someone wants to be.
If Nixon wasa still alive he would be a democrat, not a republican
I don't think guns should ever be taken away. Just because some people want to make dumb decisions on what they do with guns, that doesn't mean take them from the people that aren't doing anything wrong.
