Child Prtotective Services stealing children without cause - 3 views

  •  
    This article is just appalling. I can not believe the horror stories that these parents have and are actually living. They have lost their kids to the system that was put in place to protect children not take them away from good parents. Seems the parents are guilty and can not even prove themselves innocent in CPS's eyes.
  •  
    I am speechless, I would never imagine there would be a corrupt system involving government kidnapping! This is unfair to good parents and it is just ridiculous some of these parents were denied the right to a fair trial to prove themselves innocent.

Studies Show Judicial Bias Against Dads - 0 views

  •  
    This article looks at the prejudice of the legal system toward men in child custody cases. Anti-father and pro-mother bias plays a part in a judge's decision to award full or partial custody. Gender bias is prevalent in our American Justice system, even when bound by a code of judicial obligations.
  •  
    Wow this article was very interesting and kind of eye-opening to me, I guess I never fully realized (until now) that this is an issue! Thank you for sharing this!
  •  
    I have thought this for a long time now. As women become more a part of the work force, more men are taking on the roles as the primary caregiver for children. because of this, I believe that the old stereotype that men are gone all the time and have no idea on how to be a caregiver is completely false.

Privacy Lost: Does anybody care? - 8 views

  •  
    Is the loss of civil liberties worth the convenience of technology?

    This is such a compelling question, isn't it? We all rely on technology to make our lives "easier." But what price do we pay? We have now had to start worrying about new things such as what our online presence tells current and future employers.
  •  
    So far it does seem to be worth it but it could a whole different feeling in the future. The only effect I see is annoying ads that mysteriously relate to what I have searched for in Safari. I'm a little bit scared of what someone with ill intentions could do with all my information collected by technology.
  •  
    Very controversial. We like the commodity of using the technology, how easy it is for us to do almost anything, but then we ask ourselves, and I think everyone here, is it safe. Is my information safe, secure. what if someone, somewhere, decides to play and steals my information. It is scary. And, how can I protect myself and be 100% sure that nothing happens. As christiana333 mentioned, everything that we search, shows up as advertisement in whatever page we open. We have now the smart phones, cute ones and lots of apps that help us in many ways, but do we really need them? Or, should we just keep the basic functions of a phone and nothing else, because really what we need is a phone to communicate?
  •  
    Technology just makes our lives so much easier. Like ktfaithtom mentioned, but what price do we pay or will we pay? I use my phone for pretty much anything and I always think what if someone does steal my information? As a mother I worry about my childrens privacy as well. What are the right steps to making sure our information is secured correctly?
  •  
    It's an interesting article and topic. It makes one wonder if we have really gone so far down the proverbial rabbit hole with technology that the levels of privacy we once enjoyed are now lost to us forever.

    Have you ever wondered how grocery stores know just what coupons to mail you. Stores like Fry's use our membership number to gather information to determine our spending habits. Everything about our lives is stored in some computer somewhere. Three times last year I received a notice from a two major stores and one hospital that my information may have been stolen by an employee. Wow, we are not even safe at the hospital. I used to call my boy the conspiracy squad. After reading this article, may be I should have been listening to them.

    Technology has and will always be a huge part of my life. Having grown up with a brother heavily into gaming, programming, and IT work I got to see first hand the in's and out's of how the web works. It all comes down to how you manage your own security. Of course, there will always be the paranoia of being monitored but that has been happening for a long time. It all comes down to being cautious with what you do alone and or over technologies.

    This book captures the many facets of information gathering by digital dossiers. It reminded me of the recent unveiled programs called Tempora and Prism used by the United Kingdom and NSA. The extent of these programs capacity to siphon user data iset deeply guarded and not known in detail, however the dossiers gathered by our internet traffic on an individual basis should alarm users. I belive privacy is priceless, if I told my grandfather who passed in 2006 the extent we divulge our personal information on social media he would probably find it unbelievable. He was born in 1920 became an officer in the United States Air Force and served in WW2. The idea of privacy has changed with each generation. The way we perceive the handheld devices we all carry as young as the age of 5, may seem to our greatest generation who is currently exiting our society as a mere tracking device for big brother. This reading was very informative.

  •  
    This article describes the various ways that POC are treated differently. This can cause doctors to provide the wrong treatment or no treatment for the minority who don't have access to healthcare.
  •  
    The fact that we continue to face and see discrimination when it comes to health care is appalling. When dealing with health, health care providers should not be biased on who to help due to their skin color or certain characteristics.
  •  
    There is no reason why there should still be discrimination in health care, they're saving your life regardless of your color.
