1. Complete bell ringer

2. research the first ammendment and the right to privacy....name five parts of the first amendment. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Assembly, Freedom of the Press, and Right to Petition.

3. examine how much privacy one has in the digital age we live. Write a paragraph
      One person’s privacy is another person’s suppression of free speech. We've lost a lot of privacy in the past 2 decades with the advancement of technology. People are allowed to spy on your cell phones and computers. It can also see what purchases you have made.

4. research the patriot act and summarize it in a paragraph.
     The act, as a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, significantly reduced restrictions in law enforcement agencies' gathering of intelligence within the United States. Under perceived pressure from widespread panic felt among Americans from both the September 11 attacks and the 2001 anthrax attacks, Congress rushed to pass legislation to strengthen security controls. Opponents of the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants.

5. write a paragraph detailing if the patriot act is a violation of the first amendment
Government agents under this law are able to access a person's records including "library and internet records, medical/psychiatric and student records and financial information," without a warrant. THey can track every phone call you make and what you buy. It invades our privacy.


6. find a news article and copy and paste the link where you feel the person ised their privacy as an "excuse" to get away with something
