Articles about Personal Freedom - Chicago Tribune - 0 views

  • NEWSReagan, Promises And The DraftBy T. Calkins | May 11, 1985Concerning your recent editorial entitled "Time to reconsider the draft": If President Reagan suddenly decides to join those who are advocating a return to the draft, it will prove once and for all that his promises are basically worthless. After all, in 1980 he declared that he opposed a peacetime draft or registration as an unwarranted intrusion into personal freedom. Within two years, however, he decided to continue registration, in his words, in case of a national emergency. NEWS

Oregon's Law Withstands the Test of Time - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997. It reviews your personal freedom to die at a time & place of your choice if your facing a terminal illness.

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  •  
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  •  
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  •  
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  •  
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  •  
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  •  
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  •  
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  •  
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  •  
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.

Twelve freedoms you have now lost - JSOnline - 2 views

  •  
    This article gives one woman's opinion on some of the personal freedoms that she feels have been taken away from us. This article talks about everything from the Patriot Act to voting rights in minimal detail. It should just be a jumping off article to get ideas flowing.

    Depending on how people interpret laws, they might believe that they might have lost them but some other people are still satisfied by the fact that they still have some rights. I really like how she expressed her opinion and it really got me thinking onto how our rights might change in the future.

We want privacy from the government, but we're an open book on social media - 1 views

  •  
    The article describes how we are will to show our lives on social media for anyone to see not realizing how much is not private. Then talks about how upset we get when the Government is looking at us.
  • ...5 more comments...

    Data shared is data glared and the whole world is ready to see what a person is socially about. Its a situation that has a lot of people worried after they are usually suffering the consequences of freely putting out their information for the world to see. It seems that these popular user friendly social site are conditioning the average user to do so and the government eye is also watching.
  •  
    I couldn't agree with this article anymore! We complain about how we have no privacy from the government and everything we do or say is being monitored but then we go an post very personal and open things on Facebook and Twitter for everyone to see. It's okay for us to do it to ourselves but once the government does something we immediately put all the blame on them.
  •  
    I agree 100% with what this article is saying. How can we complain about living in a "big brother" society, when we post every aspect of our lives on social media websites? I see some postings on Facebook from people that literally record every hour of their day, from the time they wake up, to the time they log off and go to bed.
  •  
    I think this article is ideal to make people aware, because when regarding social networks, who really reads the privacy policies and such? That being said, this is a scary thing. Sometimes we don't even realize we're posting our location all over the web.
  •  
    This article is eye opening. Most of us use social media to stay connected to friends and family. I'm sure I have been guilty of similar situations.
  •  
    wow this article really opened my eyes to how much I use and rely on social media without considering the all risk.
  •  
    It is amazing how much information people put out there. At work, we have to take compliance courses every year. Just last year, they added a couple of modules on social media, and what is expected of you in relation to the information about work that you put out there.

The bizarre right to bear arms - 2 views

  •  
    This article is about being against allowing guns - comparing gun to drug laws. It's an opinion piece.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    I think this is a good article. Very contrveral, because many people are for owning guns, and many are against it. But we do have the right to keep and bear arms.
  •  
    When does it become relevant that its not muskets and cannons anymore being used in the debate against the right to bear arms. Although there are tragedies happening everyday there are times when good triumphs over evil in a shootout situation.
  •  
    I think this is a great article and good topic.

    The article discusses weather or not the consittution protect the right to bear arms for everyone. The article also discusses the debate of how broad the right is. 
  •  
    This site explores constitutional conflicts to the right to bear arms. The right to keep and bear arms not only predates the writing of the Second Amendment, it also predates the discovery of firearms, because the right to defend one's right to Life, Liberty, and Property came with the Creation of Man.
  •  
    This article goes into the two major interpretations that go along with the right to bear arms. Goes into further detail of the second amendment and also provides some court cases that are about this amendment

Immigration and what may happen - 0 views

  •  
    I love the New York Times, again this article is very imformative, it give information on illegal immigration. Somethings the article talks about is Mexican Immigration has declined, and if a illegal is caught speeding should they deported and a little bit about the background of illegal immigration.
  •  
    The New Times really points out some great facts in this article. They show that immigration is a important issue that is going on with the U.S. today. It also shows how different things can be for immigrants depending on who is the new elected president. While Mitt Romney is taking the side that may be harder on illegal immigrants, Obama seems to welcoming people to run across the boarder. Michal Czerwonka for The New York Times may be more of a photographer than a writer but he really did a great job showing both sides views.
