This is an interesting topic. It challenged the role of American Public Policy.

While I see each side, the side of Ms Davis, who was expressing her religion, and the side of the lgbtq+ individuals who were denied a government document that should have been their right to have, there is really no argument. Kim Davis is a government official, and the fact that she does not believe in the constitutionality of gay marriage should have never prohibited her from doing her job. She refused a public service, it is as simple as that.

I am fascinated by the common relevant between disabilities movement and civil rights movement. American government covers more respect toward to the disabilities. This is a codification of simple justice.

I had not thought about the rights of the disabled. I had been meaning to look into the ADA but I hadn't until now. I agree that the similarities between the two movements is kind of crazy. And it is just another testimony of people standing up for what is right. I remember hearing about the kind of places that disabled and elderly people were being put into before the ADA, and because of space it was often mental health facilities where they were in very bad conditions.

These are worth watching! Great explanations and reviews!

This video is a good example of right wing narrowcasting. It is obvious that this is directed to Fox News viewers. Not all Fox News viewer would agree with the statements made on this video. This is more focused to anti-Islam and anti-Obama supporters. The language used by the newscaster is very specific and persuasive. It is generalizing and directly connecting Islam with terrorism. Here is an example: "Islamic killers are the central problem on this planet." In my opinion these are radical ideas themselves. It shows some evidence and pictures relating Obama with Islam. These are there to tie Obama to the negativeness that the newscaster has already said about Islam. We can see that this is an example of narrowcasting because this will not appeal to most people. It will most likely appeal to a certain group of people which this video was made for.

As we know, freedom of speech is an example of a Civil Right. Many countries do not allow bias media to be published, or if they do allow it, it is usually for their own benefit. This video and some ideas expressed could be offensive to some people and many would not like it (me.) But this is one of the beauties of this country. I could respond to this video with something bias on my side without a consequence from the other party that will endanger my security. Sometimes the picture could get dirty or might not be pretty, but at the end of the day it is something we should be grateful for, civil rights.

This video is an example of "broadcasting." This has less of personal opinions and it is more factual. This means that it appeals to a wider audience (which is the definition for it.) This CNN video shows the second plane hitting the WTC in New York during 9/11. This is something that most people will listen. Why? Because it is factual rather than bias. I think that current events fall more in the broadcasting rather than the narrowcasting. The aftermath of these could fall into narrowcasting. An example of this is the previous video I posted on Obama and Islam. Please comment if you have any other thoughts on this.

"Top 5 Constitutional Moments"

The first thing that came to my mind when I read "Civil Rights Movement" in the title of the article was some kind of violent movement. As I started to read the article, I disagreed with the thesis. However, as I keep reading I started to agree more. There is not one specific definition of what a cilil rights movement consists of. A civil rights movement does not necessarily include violence. I think part of what America has to do to help get rid of the problem of racial discrimination has to be included in the basic education of the newer generations. Kids get taught by society about racism or other kinds of discrimination. I think a key factor for this issue is educating the upcoming generations about this issue and respect. A civil rights movement will not change the country from one day to another. However, it can bring awareness, again, to society. It will take time to improve in this issue. I do think that a major key to the solution of this issue is awareness and education to be taught to our youth and future generations. Because they are the future of America.

This is more of a current event rather than a article... However, it is an example of a civil right being protested. It is calling for racial equality concentrating on the inequality facing African Americans. Chicago has been a major spot for the movement of Black Lives Matter.

I'm sure it's a great article but it wont let you read unless you're subscribed or have an account.
