Introduction The term ‘privacy’ refers to an individual’s ability to seclude themselves thereby expressing themselves selectively. It, therefore, means that something is sensitive or simply special to a person. Privacy also limits who accesses the places, things or body of another person, hence making it about an individual’s control and security to things like their bank details and medical records. Privacy is thus important to human dignity in all societies as it is a human right of every individual. However, technology is turning out to be a threat to privacy due to its integration to human lives ...

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094).

Liberty has a different meaning to different people. Some people may not even know liberty even exists because of the society they live in which is very oppressive towards certain ideas. Liberty to some people is the freedom from controlling government, the ability to decide one’s destiny, to be able to speak or write their thoughts, to not be confined based on one’s appearance, and to be free from foreign rule. While there is no real official rule about what liberty truly is, I had the opportunity to interview people from various backgrounds about what liberty is ...

Same Sex Marriage

In 2015, the United States Constitution ruled that nationwide, states could not ban same-sex marriage (Same-Sex). This highly contested ruling thereby states that all states must issue marriage licenses to all couples, opposite or same sex. While many people see this is a negative, a vast majority of people see this ruling as what it is: a set in stone (for the time being) rule that all people, regardless of sexual orientation, are equal and do not deserve discrimination in the form of being denied rights and being denied the benefits that a marriage can bring. In Florida in ...

Explicitly we can come to the conclusion that such phenomena as political religion and religious politics, being based on the social religion, which creates common values for their supporters, affected the development of the American consciousness greatly as well as nowadays it does the same. It reflects the conservative form of state’s ruling with some features of collectivism, since it is mainly based on the protection of traditional family and other religious values, by sharing of which people are more likely to put all their efforts in order to defend everybody, who belongs to their group – from the ...

ANALYSIS OF TWO ARTICLES: A LADDER OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND THE NEW MT.EDEN

The article “A Ladder of Citizen Participation” by Sherry R Arnstein (1969) is about the various forms of civil participation in the cities. Arnstein defined eight levels of civil participation that could be observed in the USA in the 1960s. The author argues that very rarely in the USA the people truly participate in the urban processes. Instead there is widespread non-participation and tokenism of participation. Arnstein defines the civil participation as a term for citizen power which enables the citizens that were excluded from decision making processes to be included in the future. If there is civil participation, ...

In his attempt to define a citizen, Aristotle appreciated that every state had differing views on citizenship. However, the states had one thing in common regarding citizens and citizenship; their political society and the state were one. According to Aristotle, the desire to be a citizen, to belong to a particular state is deeply rooted in an individual. He classified man as a political animal with a strong desire to live ...

The United States has a secret competitive advantage over most other nation. The advantage, however, is not one that normally comes to mind in the public or is a focus of attention of the media or politicians. The advantage is that the U.S. attracts the largest number of immigrants in the world, and it has been doing so since its founding. Indeed, since the late 1700s, over 55 million people have immigrated to the U.S. and made it their home (ACLU).

The primary issue at hand is that of corporate personhood – ever since Citizens United v. SEC in 2010, corporate entities are allowed to spend money to exercise their free speech, ostensibly guaranteed to them by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. However, the dilemma lies in whether or not corporations are people. Is it fair, right or accurate to allow a corporation (essentially a collection of individuals with a great amount of capital and spending power) the exact same rights as an individual American citizen? Do corporations have the right to act as moral agents, and use ...

Importance of privacy policies in a fusion center

Information is the key goal for a Fusion Center.

The most potent information often originates from the general population. The case of the Lackawanna Six is a testament to that. The people who provided the anonymous tip believed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation works to safeguard the nation. The FBI, with a long history ...

Femicide in the U.S. and Mexico Femicide in the U.S. and Mexico This paper seeks to focus on femicide and physical violence against women in both the US and Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. Femicide is the act of murdering women for the simple reason that they are of female gender (Koutsoyannis, 2011). Essentially, gender inequality is one of the most long-lived social, political, and economic struggles globally.

Democratic deliberation is a political strategy that seeks to improve collective decision-making.

Therefore, a citizen’s engagement in deliberative democracy is paramount, since it attracts participation in decision-making to the ambit of activities in one’s country, and ...

Aspects that Provide for Legitimacy of Federal Laws and Regulations in America

Federal regulations and laws in America apply throughout the country, including individual states that build up America’s entirety. The existence of the regulations, however, owe to various aspects within the country that govern and limit their application. Generally, the American Congress ensures the passing of regulations and laws that govern the country, and additionally authorizes various federal agencies to create and enforce the regulations (Bumgarner, 2006, p. 4). The Administrative Procedure Act, for instance, governs administrative agencies’ proposal and establishment of laws. In addition, the Housekeeping Act, the Congressional Review Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and the Regulatory ...

Hegel's philosophy is the culmination of the German philosophy development, which began from Kant.

The freedom of movement is a constitutional right that allows every citizen to move freely in the country (Mau et. al., 2012). Essentially it enables the citizen to be anywhere so long as the citizen’s movement is not restricted by law, and such restrictions arise out of the actions of the citizen. Similarly, the movement may be restricted to restricted areas such as nuclear plants, power stations, private property, military bases among others. It follows then that the ordinance may face a constitutional challenge for prohibiting or curtailing the freedom of movement. The ordinance curtails this right by limiting ...

Petrecca, L. (2012). 'Supersized' drinks on the way out in NYC. Accessed From http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012/09/13/supersized-drinks-on-the-way-out-in-nyc/57775970/1

This form of law is almost impossible to regulate on individuals considering that even if the supersized drinks are reduced to the 16-ounce cap, consumers still have the choice to consume more than one cup. A person may also opt to buy sugary drinks from the grocery and convenience stores which would not be affected by such law. To drink or not to drink is solely a personal choice. As such, a law seeking to reduce the quantity of supersized drinks as a way to improve health is myopic. Instead the government should endeavor to change the mentality of the consumers through ...

Unlike Lincoln and Johnson who took a moderate approach to bring the south under normalcy after the civil war, the radical republicans favored a harsher approach to the situation and upgrade the lives of the freedmen. This brought them into conflict with the established southerners and the Democratic Party in power which wanted to maintain the status quo.
