    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.

Competing Claims of Religious Freedom - 5 views

  •  
    Naming your child after the "Messiah" should be a parents personal & religious freedom, but a Tennessee judge is forcing a mother to change her son's name to Martin. Religious freedom is for those who choose religion and those who oppose religion. How do we find a fair and equal balance for all.

    I'd followed this case somewhat but never from the angle of calling a child "Messiah" could infringe on the religious freedom of others. While I don't think this was the parents intention, there should be some legal mechanism in place to prevent this infringement. I think the judge in this case got it wrong in her ruling, her justifications for changing the baby's name were wrong. I do foresee a more solid legal challenge to naming children "Messiah" pushing forward.
  •  
    There is somewhat of a controversial issue here that could have this child set apart in a religious community. There are certain sects of Jewish and Christian communities that would see this as an insult and have this child's back against the wall when he came of age and none of which would be his fault. Although this is the perfect example of what a name is or can be for example Mr or Esquire which are simply titles, judgments being made on the child's name are debatable.
  •  
    I think this is a great article about personal freedom. I think you should be able to name your child whatever you like. Every religion, culture has their own name for "Jesus." Why would you make anyone change the name. I understand why some people would be against it, for religious purpose. As a U.S citizen you have the freedom to Religion.
  •  
    Very interesting topic. I am religious and find this to be ridiculous. I understand the judge may find it to infringe on a person's religious beliefs, but come on, seriously?! I think a parent should be able to name their kid whatever they want.
  •  
    A couple should be allowed to name their child whatever they want, the court should have no say in it. A name is not breaking any laws.

Religious Freedom - 0 views

  •  
    We need to work hard to keep our religious freedom. Most religious organizations are required by the Department of Human Services to provide contraceptive coverage in employee health care plans. A lot of government contracts have been lost due to religious organizations refusal to place children with same-sex couples.
  •  
    I agree we need to continually fight for our religious freedoms.
