I-Chip Take Two [8]

Different Aspects

Technology View Point-
Of course it would be a major upgrade in technology.
Let's just say you could access the internet from this I-chip.. who wouldn't go for that. The more technology the lazier we get. People go crazy when they can't find a remote, imagine use now not even wanting to use the computer, because we have it all in our brain. Let's just say many people would say "bye bye, computer, hello i-chip."

Science Aspect-
Yes, it would fairly take years to probably even design the i-chip; so it can be safe enough for us to use it. I know you wouldn't want to be unhealthy because of the chip. So, yes I could imagine scientist being hard at work with this idea.

P.O.G 2 [4]

Ideal Society

Take a look back at the time you studied the constitution. All the amendments and bills seem to be just a random bunch of words. In those words our freedom and security is protected. People may try to use the constitution to their own advantage. That leads me to tell you, citizens must fight for their own rights. For example, the Miller vs. Young case, Miller’s arrest, and the president’s offenses. As our class experienced in our previous Ideal Society, people will try to limit our freedom.

Let me introduce you to President Young. President Young took the authority to have Shay sent to jail because she threatened to “blow up the white house”. Although the Constitution clearly states in Amendment 1; “all Americans have the freedom of speech, freedom to protest and freedom of press. If we have the freedom to protest what gives Young the right to take that authority? The citizens in the ideal society slowly but surely began to fight for their own rights.

Next, I’ll let you in on the president’s faults. The president in our society committed an impeachable offense. He threatened citizens and attacked a fellow Congressman. Thinking it was unnecessary the Congress threw all of the questioning away. Remembering the sentence of Shay, you have to question; “Why is it that the president does not get any punishment for his offense but Shay has been in jail for a “threat”?

The Supreme Court was alarmed by Miller’s lawyer. She made the decision with Millers consent to take Young to court. Using Article 3 of the Constitution “the courts can settle disputes between the U.S. government and it’s citizens” The courts decided to uphold the 1st Amendment rights. The justices ruled in favor of Miller because the Amendment protected Americans rights to openly protest the government. Furthermore the decision reinstated our First Amendment rights.

In conclusion, the Constitution does affectively resolve conflict. From past ideal experiences observation will lead you that people including the government will try to limit our freedom. Bringing an i-chip into the picture could bring chaos into our country. With the constitution here to save the day you’ll be safe. Maybe just maybe you should think twice before bringing an I-chip into your country.

How Do You Balance Security & Freedom? [3]

Seems like a hard discussion. Ofcourse people have different views.. some believe that you must have security to ensure freedom. In class we did a simulation which helped me make my 2nd blog. That class activity is also helping me create this one. I believe that we should have both freedom and security. Yes, it should be balanced. The government ensures our security, but our freedom. Who limits are freedom? Is our freedom limited, even if it's protected in the first amendment? Protesting, should you be thrown in jail for a non-violent act? I think not, that just takes your freedom away.

iChip & the iDeal Society. [2]

I believe the iChip should be illegal. If we were ever to come down to even placing a chip into your brain, maybe you'd be all for it, but not me. OK, OK.. you can control computers, making your life extremely easier, but then again do you see the health risks you're putting upon yourself? Let's just say the iChip blew up in your brain, or even once you've gotten the chip placed in your brain it makes you act just a bit different. Yes technology, is nice.. but let's not let it take control of your life...

[ P.O.G ] [1]

I've come to the conclusion that neither John Locke or Thomas Hobbes is exactly correct. No one is just flat out selfish, take a peak at the other side, ( no one is completely peaceful ) . One day you could care only about what you need aka the "me theory". Doing what you believe will only help you survive. The next day you'd have a complete turning point and help out a local homeless shelter. When you look around, you will see violence no matter where you are, but think again; everyone isn't like that. Some people can live without the guidance of government, but to be sure we have a structured world, our country should enforce government. We should be sure everyone has a say in, causing less chaos, a new amount of peace.

"Give up your selfishness, and you shall find peace; like water mingling with water, you shall merge in absorption."
