This article is about the government staying out of the way of a women's right to choose abortion. Clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, are under scrutiny on a daily basis. Forcing a women that does not want her unborn fetus to carry the baby to term is a far more sad and unfair situation.

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.

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.

Although these patient rights are not written anywhere, there are some rights that are thought of to be true or given. Some of these rights are based on respect and some on the responsibilities of the patient,

I liked this article and i especially enjoyed the part that lists some of the patients responsibilities, one of which was "respect the providers". I think some patients don't understand that just because they are in pain, it does not give them the right to be overly rude to their healthcare providers (i.e nurses, doctors ma, pharmacists, etc).

The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a fifth graders right to distribute invitations to her church's Christmas party. The school had banned the student from distributing the invitations citing the invitations contained religious materials. The court's decision was based on the First Amendment's right to free speech.

I agree that student's should be able to learn of and encourage the religious beliefs of their classmates. How do we expect to raise well rounded individuals if we raise them to treat religion with such a hush hush attitude?

Being in a public school system, no religion should be enforced at all. These were Christmas invitations, inviting the students to a church event imposing the Christian belief system. This could have been done outside of school or elsewhere. This situation would only be okay if it was conducted in a private religious school, where public money does not fund the institution.

An article by the Wall Street Journal on how social media can and has effected peoples abilities to get jobs.

Psychologically it is said that we have many social scripts, in other words we do not act the same exact way around our parents as we do our boss or our friends. Companies that use social media are attempting to view how you live your life outside of work, how you act out that social script. But why should that matter? Regardless if you put pictures of Saturday night drinking it does not mean that this who you are in the office, they are two completely different script and for the general population they are unrelated.

I think employers should look at social media networks, people should always present themselves in a professional look, because there behaviors affect the company, on the clock or off

This article is about being against allowing guns - comparing gun to drug laws. It's an opinion piece.

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.

This article is based on school choice. To choose a school for your child based on your living location. How empowering the parent to choice would be more beneficial.

It is very important in the present day for children to get a good education and the child should not have to suffer a poor education because of where they live. If the parents can not afford to live in a neighborhood with the top performance schools they should still be able to send their child to a good school and even if it means the child has to take the bus or car pool.

Although many people live in districts that have the funding for an excellent staff that is required to create a good learning environment, there are some parents that do not have that luxury. Being at a good school is what ultimately gets students out of the 'poverty cycle' or not. If a student does live in a bad neighborhood and has the possibility of attending a better neighborhood even if it is a bus ride or drive away it should be up to them ultimately if they want to make that change and commute for the better learning environment.

Many people believe that traditional marriage is better. Christians have a big part with gay marriage. Does same sex marriage destroy traditional marriage?

Religion is one of our Constitutioal rights proctected by the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights. No one has the right to tell any U.S. citizen what or what not religion to practice.

I think that everyone has the right to believe in what they want. As long as they don't try to force others then I see no problem in it. I myself am not a religious person, but that does not mean that I should go around telling people what they believe in is wrong. We should all have an understandings for others beliefs and not try to shut them down just because of our own beliefs.

If Bill AB2019 is enacted into law, it will become mandatory to vaccinate children even when if the mom or dad says otherwise.

I think agree with destini, if we have talking about personal freedoms in all of these assignment then the individual should get to choose what they want to do. If a parent does it for them, then it was never a choice in the first place.

Young children can not make the decision themselves. That right is the given the parents that conceived them.

ORIGINAL "What the community are concerned about is anti-social behaviour that arises from binge drinking and the abuse of alcohol, and you can't put that down just to people within the ages of 18 and 21. "The responsible use of alcohol is a problem for the whole community, not just one particular age group." Ms Keneally also said a higher drinking age would not necessarily stop 18- to 21-year-olds drinking. "My experience in my university days would suggest that a higher drinking age doesn't necessarily lead to abstinence among 18- and 19-year-olds," she said. PARAPHRASE Ms. Keneally knows from her college experiences that a higher drinking age would not stop younger individuals from drinking.The abuse of alcohol and binge drinking is not just from people in the 18 to 21 year age group, but is a world wide issue ranging through all the age groups. This article is about the premier Kristina Keneally and why she does not mind if the drinking age stays at 18 in Australia.

This website outlines what the right to "privacy" really is. No where in the constitution does it state that we as Americans have any sort of privacy rights. It gives examples of court cases that failed because there was no right to privacy in the constitution like many people like to think.

This is a link to a forum post which is a sketchy at best information site but it does have a good amount of ideas on different personal freedoms which are being changed. A good link for ideas.

This site speaks about the reasons for lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18. It points out that 18-year-olds are able to fight and die for their country, but considered too young to have a beer. The website clearly believes that the law should be changed.

This article covers both pros and cons to lowering the legal age to drink to 18. The write is torn between whether or not it is right because at 18 you are a legal adult. However, studies show that one is not ready for alcohol until at least 21 and that by than one should have a stronger common sense level.

This article talks about how some vaccination may cause authism. Some feel very strongly that MMR is the main cause authism.

Some Texas representive believe that Wakefield's studies are correct.

There is a school that is teaching children as young a five years old about sexual matters. It is a "staged" program, meaning it is taught in stages. For instance, stage one would be for ages 5-7 years of age. Stage two would be from ages 8-11 and so on. What the article explained is that there is a level of education that is required to be taught. This was put in place by the national curriculum. There are certain subjects and areas our children have to be taught within the school system. Where does it say that this involves sexual intercourse? The children would start from age five learning about the body and life cycles and by age seven would be learning about intercourse. Many parents are outraged and looking for ways to meet this concerning issue head on. Parents are feeling that this type of teaching can lead their children to be faced with feelings they are not old enough to deal with responsibly. Other parents feel that school should be a pressure free place for their children.The bottom line is that schools have the right to decide what is taught within the nation curriculum's guidelines.It is up to parents to find out exactly what is being taught to their children and decide from there.
