It’s about doing something private. It’s about your life belonging to you. They were taking that from me, piece by piece.” This quote supports one of the main themes in the book “Little Brother”, the right to privacy. Marcus, as an American citizen has a right to his privacy and the people of DHS are taking that right from him. “The severe haircut woman” forces Marcus to tell all his passwords for all his devices. The DHS had no proof and no right to blame Marcus for the terrorist attack. In the quote, Marcus is talking about how the DHS is invading his privacy. This is why I chose this quote. “Skipping school isn't a crime. It's an infraction. They're totally different.” In this quote, Marcus is telling us how skipping school isn’t a major crime, it’s just a small violation but if Marcus hadn’t skipped school that day, maybe he wouldn’t have been captured by the DHS. The small infraction of skipping school cost Marcus six days of being interrogated by the DHS. He lost his privacy. If he wouldn’t have skipped school that day, maybe Darryl wouldn’t have been stabbed and maybe Darryl wouldn’t have been lost either. Marcus lied to his parents about where he was when he was captured by the DHS. Maybe skipping school isn’t a big crime, but lying isn’t a good thing and once his parents get to know the truth, they may not trust him anymore and maybe they won’t even believe if he’s telling the truth about whether

As human beings and citizens of the world, everyone values their privacy. It is a right that is often looked over and taken for granted by most.

Our founding fathers had concerns about this which is why, “…this right has developed into

The school-to-prison pipeline in the United States is a figure of speech used to describe the increasing patterns of interaction students have with the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems as a consequence of procedures used by many school systems. A specific procedure would be the zero tolerance policies and the use of officers in schools. Currently in today’s American schools many children of color are being unfairly judged and treated by the public school systems zero tolerance policies. Zero tolerance policies have been implemented in schools in the last 20 years that include inserting school resource officers in schools and cracking down on all behavior that any authority figure may deem as a form of bad behavior. The policy is based upon deterring future misbehavior and is central to the philosophy of zero tolerance, and the effect of any punishment on future behavior is what defines effective punishment (Skinner, 1953). Zero tolerance policies causes the school environment to feel more like a prison and ultimately leads to black and Latinos being judged and guided to the prison system. A zero-tolerance policy orders predetermined penalties or punishments for specific wrongdoings.
This idea is mostly made up of oneself. Who we are and what makes us, us. “The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government (What Does the Fourth Amendment Mean?).” “If we go back to the understanding of why we declared independence from Great Britain, it stemmed from worries about excessive surveillance (The Spirit of the Fourth Amendment—and the NSA's Disregard for It).” Britain at the time was going into people homes to search it for smuggled goods. This also lead to “The poorest man in his cottage may bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. He may be frail. The roof may shake. The winds may blow through it. Storms may enter. Rain may enter. But the King of England cannot enter. All his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement." What is privacy, this can mean many different things to different people.

The personal rights that lead to a good life are important but the most important right is the right to privacy. People have been talking for years about the right of privacy. The use of computers made access to Americans personal data very easy. The government knowledge about people’s privacy and personal information can be a benefit to Americans but it also can lead to a serious damage. From the bright side, knowing these information makes it easier to pass social security checks, making medical

The movie I am reviewing is called: Trainsplotting. This movie was based on Mark Renton and his friend abusing heroin. Heroin was a part of their everyday life for example; they called it better than having sex. Mark Renton also explained how choosing a life was harder and that doing heron was much simple. He loved the feeling it gave him and thinks it is a lot better than having an organism.

In 1787, the constitution was born. The constitution has been America’s guideline to the American way of life. Our US constitution has many points in it to protect America and it’s people from an overpowered government, our economy, and ourselves. The only thing the constitution doesn’t directly give us, is our right to privacy, and our right to privacy has been a big concern lately courtesy of the National Security Agency (NSA).(#7) Although our constitution doesn’t necessarily cover the privacy topic, it does suggest that privacy is a given right. Some people say that the right to privacy was so obvious, that our founding fathers didn’t even feel the need to make a point about it.(#9) It also didn’t help
