This article explains how the balancing of personal freedoms works into the government and the workplace of citizens today. A big example this article touches on is how online activity can be monitored. What is really private today?

Technology is advancing faster and faster every minute and privacy is something known of the past now in my opinion. One of my teachers told the class that everything you learn about computers during your freshman and sophomore years of college will most likely be outdated by your junior year - just to help realize how fast technology is actually growing. Anything online can affect you now-a-days it seems. On the news the other day, there was a story about Facebook Friends and your credit. People are actually being denied car loans or things of that sort because of the friends they have on Facebook because if their friends seem unreliable and have bad scores, then the company will assume you do too. It's getting ridiculous to be honest.

These days employers monitor and know everything you are doing. Knowing this, I feel like if you are acting in a way that is respectable both at work and in your personal life, you will have nothing to worry about. I do not see this issue of lack of privacy changing, I see it increasing as time goes on.

This article describes how the government has passed laws that attempt to control behavior and free will. The soda ban is an example of one such law.

Right to bear arms has always been an issue here in the united states.Now federal law will make it known to be able to possess a gun the owner will need to make sure to not mark yes on being controlled with some kind of substance like marijuana.

This article is about the federal government gaining access to anyone's cell phone even in the privacy in there own home. By satalite control, a government "trained trusted federal agent" can hone onto your cell phone and activate it's mic. , using it a wire tap, for millions of phone at his diposal of choice.

Based off of statistics the issue is not whether or not sex education is appropriate in schools, but what kind of sex education should be taught. A portion of parents prefer that schools only teach their children strictly about abstinence. Other parents prefer that the school teach a program referred to as "abstinence-plus", which educates students on birth control and abstinence.

The long constant debate about sex education in schools has come to a halt. For the most part students, parents, and principals are satisfied with the topics being taught, however a low percent think only certain topics should be discussed.

Looks like a popular article.

In this article, a man named Mark Aguilera is expressing his views on the law that was passed here in Arizona about making immigrant carry identification to show that they are legal to be in America. He makes a good point in comparing it to when Jewish people had to wear a yellow star of David so that they could be identified as Jews. he also states that if this continues the it will soon be out of control and made into a America law.

"Pros and Cons of whether concealed handguns should be allowed" Again this site provides both sides of the current argument (this time on concealed guns). It should provide a good reference for further research, and in helping give direction to a paper.

In this brief article, a woman was reprimanded by her employer for breast-feeding her 3-month-old son in a Fort Brag mini-mall. Someone who was offended by the woman breast-feeding filed an anonymous complaint and a few days later the woman was told by her manager that the Army and Air Force Exchange Services, which manages military malls, has banned breast feeding. Although the employee did not want to make anyone uncomfortable or cause any further issue after her reprimand both North Carolina and federal law, allow women to breast-feed in public, even if their breast is exposed.

This was an issue 11 years ago when I was a breastfeeding mom. I had no choice but to take my 8 week old baby with me to a mandatory work meeting. I had a "cover" that is made to drape over me like a pancho. You could see nothing. Not even the baby's feet! I was asked to leave the meeting. That also came with repercussions, obviously out of my control. The mind blowing part of this entire story is my boss was a mother that had nursed her baby when he was little. Wouldn't you think she would understand more than anyone? This article is interesting to me due to the fact that there are laws in place to keep mothers from breastfeeding their children. That is outrageous! You should not feel pressured to bottle feed your child. It is a personal choice. I as a parent, had weighed out the pros and cons of both. And I made the decision to give my daughter a healthy head start. Why should we as human beings, be punished for taking proper care of our children. In my opinion, people need to find something else to complain about. And they will!

(Aug. 15, 2011) - Having had some rather intense inline correspondence with conservatives in recent days who were basically attacking Ron Paul as a kook, wanting the federal government to perform actions that they think is important, regardless of the constitutionality, and having the federal government control the actions of the states.

Vaccines are injection into the fatty tissue of the body, they have the same antigens as if it was the actually disease. Though the antigens that are injected are not as strong as the actually disease. The objective is to produce antigens to protect immune system. The body will then attack the antigens to produce antibodies to fight against the real disease if it presents itself.

This article discusses the importance of vaccinations. They are used to prevent disease and death. If children are not vaccinated the public is more susceptible to diseases, which could lead to outbreak of diseases that were once controlled.

Many claim that vaccinations cause death. However, when ministries of health perform an examination they make sure that vaccinations are not the cause. If so, then it is most likely that is it a programmatic error not vaccine manufacture error. Once a child is vaccinated, usually the only side effects are sore arms or mild fever. Most effects of vaccination can be controlled by taking paracetamol. To accurately asses some of the more serious effects would be hard since they are so far and in between. We must remember that vaccinations are safe for our children.

Planned Parenthood isn't just about abortions. Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn't just effect abortions as many Republicans and "pro-life" activist would like to think. Planned Parenthood provides birth control, breast exams, pap-smears, and sexual education classes. And get this, government funding isn't even used for abortions in the first place!

Planned Parenthood offers more diverse health-care than just abortions. Planned Parenthood provides essential medical practices to women who could not otherwise afford them. The fight against this establishment is only scaling the top of this issue. This is not a fight against supporting abortion, this is a fight to keep women feeling safe with knowing they have a place to turn when they need medical assistance.
