Sections read: Chapter 3 Sections 3.1-3.3.4
1. (Knowledge)Tell three interesting elements of this chapter:
a. How freedom of speech is not only limited in the US today but also on the web, and other things.
b. How print media (such as newpapers and books) has the strongest protection of the First Amendment, such as Cigarette ads are legal in magazines but not legal on the radio, t.v, or anyother electronic media under the FCC.
c. How freedom of speech is different from the past, compared to now, it seemed stricter.
2. (Comprehension) Summarize what is being discussed within this chapter?
What is being discussed in this chapter is how the First Amendment (Freedom of Speech part) is limited not only in the real world but, also on the internet, the publication, and even the broadcast (such a radio waves, or television waves). (pg. 146-148)
3. (Application)Name a specific example or NEW solution for this type of problem/similar situation in society or that you have experienced – BE SPECIFIC AND EXPLAIN?
Well reading what Baase wrote in this chapter reminded me of the time when I was learning about the Amendments and the Bill of Rights, in high school I was learning how peoples freedom of speech was limited, this is the video to show that the reverends rights was violated(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8H4YATaX1k) and how you are not supposed to say things like this because of stereotypes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC9cV3-9ST8 first 33 seconds).
4. (Analysis)Address ANY that apply. How can you compare one of the situations in this chapter to something that does not relate to computers, technology, or the Internet? Be sure to reference the chapter and your solution. What ideas NEW can you add to the issue that is being presented within the reading? Try to connect what you have by reading this article and how it applies to the stages in Bloom's taxonomy in 2 full sentences.
I honestly can’t relate this to anything except for when the rights were made in 1789. How the founding fathers could even argue about the amendments but I highly doubt that they violated these rights them selfs.
5. (Synthesis) Address all that apply. Do you agree with what is being said within the article (Why/Why not? Back up with FACTS)? What new conclusions can you draw about this (or other topics) after reading this material?
I agree with section 3.1.2 (Freedom of Speech Principles) because, Baase talks on how freedom of speech is used and the preventions upon the First Amendment and how people use their Freedom of Speech to voice or show their opinion, also on how it’s a restriction on the power of the Government.
6. (Evaluation) Address all that apply. Judge whether or not this topic is relevant in today’s society? Evaluate why you are viewing the topic in this manner based on your experiences. What ethical evaluations (see Chap1-1.4 for exp of Ethics) or decisions were made/can be assumed from this chapter? What new ideas will you make after reading this chapter?
This topic is relevant in the society today because Baase makes me as a reader wonder if the government is limiting our freedom of speech what else are they putting a limit on. This is ethical (what the government is doing) because the government wants to make sure that the people are safe, in was by preventing people saying, bomb on an airplane, or fire in a movie theater. After reading this chapter I’m glad the government is limiting some free speech, because it opens up to me the safety and concern of people. (Pg. 149-151)
