This is an alternative abortion site. Even though abortion is and should be a freedom of choice, this provides an alternative to "getting rid of the problem." It offers advice and solutions to the issue.

A look at the different approaches that counties are taking to create privacy laws and regulations.  How America's approach is different from other countries.  Will there be a worldwide privacy commission?

Is privacy real? Google records websites visited on computers to pop up ads, that's how they make their money. Privacy is seeming less like a right and more of a goal. With surveillance of the government are infringing more upon citizens privacy. Why should the government be able to view our emails when Hillary Clinton deletes all of hers and is backed by the FBI?

I completely agree. I feel that privacy is a mere illusion in our society. Just because their is no paper trail, does not mean that there is no digital fingerprint. The government has always been a double-standard in how they have the power to make the rules, and yet they break them. People like Hillary just have more connections and the means to get themselves out of trouble.

This was a very interesting article. It does give a lot of truths about how the goverment has gone behind our backs and gone through people's private information at times. It is not fair at all for the government to be doing something like this without reasonable suspicion and a court order.

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

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.

What does it mean to respect the dignity of a human being? What sort of support do human capacities demand from the world, and how should we think about this support when we encounter differences of gender or sexuality? How should we think about each other across divisions that a legacy of injustice has created?

This is an issue that always bothered me because I never understood why people fight against it so hard. If you don't like something it doesn't mean you have to participate in it. If you are against gay marriage then gay marriage doesn't apply to you. It's not like you will be forced to marry someone of the same gender it simply means that everyone, as stated in the constitution, receives their basic human rights. It doesn't mean you have to like it but you should at least respect the lives of other individuals who have been on the receiving end of discrimination for decades.

An overview of both deliberate cruelty and neglect of animals. Addresses multiple issues from animal rescue to threats to wildlife. There's been a lot in the news lately about deliberate cruelty to animals. It's heartbreaking to see the things people think it's okay to do to another living creature.

Animal cruelty needs to be stopped. It is so horrible to see what abuse animals go through.
