ID (Interdisciplinary Post)

In my class Participation in Government we are always learning a new piece of the law. Today for example we learned about the jurisdictions of the different courts and the different kind of situations they handle. Also we having been learning about different Supreme Court cases and how these cases has effected the law today. We had to read a article about a law that is introduced that effects the 4th Amendment.

This article was based on the police letting people know they have the right to say no to the consent of search. This causes a conflict of interest between the police and the citizens walking the street. If people are aware of this, everybody will most likely decline the search. This only proves that the law is being changed over and over and still trying to make it right for the people of this country. The police do not want this law to go into effect because they feel it protects the criminals even more and puts the police in more danger.

Since the law isn't perfect by far these changes to the law need to be made. The laws being put into place are there to protect the people. The changes to the law are to protect the people from any unjust treatment today. I only think this is interesting because if I ever want to have a career in law then I have to know it. I have to know the law better than I know the back of my hand.

Self-Selected Response (SSR)

Having to read Fahrenheit 451 causes a deep interest because from I have read books causing this much trouble in one society is issue. Technology has fazed out books completely is crazy. One physical book can cause you either to be burnt to death with your home or your house burnt then your under arrest. It amazes because I feel that reality is closer than we know it or even realize and that is the sad part.

Look how many hours we actually on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and etc. Times have changed dramatically talking on the phone to 150 characters with a max of 220 messages. We have become so socially dependent off of our advanced technology that we will soon be at the point where having the physical book has become extinct. They even have apps so books can be downloaded onto the phone, computer, Ipod, which is bittersweet piece to technology

The more interesting fact about this book is there is no leadership. No one wants to stand up and become a leader and fight against the nonsense they face. They all just sit there and wait till things reached it's breaking point to decide to stand up and it may be to late. If you question something and feel like it is wrong don't hesitate to speak out about it. This interested me because people are so quick to hold their tongue and sit back and watch things transpire instead of taking a leading voice and act questions.
