they’d treated him, and were trying to make amends. Jen had stifled any pity she felt; Alex was a master of manipulation, and she was determined not to let him influence her. ‘When did Hayley tell you about Angie, Alex?’ Mike came back into to room in time to hear his answer. ‘A couple of days ago. Her and that Goth type she hangs around with told me.’ He looked up at Mike. ‘Great girl you’ve got there, Mike.’ There was a sneer implicit in the words. ‘Yeah, I know.’ Mike had recovered some of his bravado and refused to rise to it. ‘I’d seen Angie around, but she was just another kid until Adam sent me the photo of her. She looks like you, Jen.’ ‘I’ve told her about you. She doesn’t want to meet you.’ ‘I have rights.’ ‘Your name’s not on birth certificate, but if you insist on claiming her as your daughter, you’ll have responsibilities. Here, read this.’ Jen handed him the articles Angie had downloaded from her computer. They’d read them together and sat up into the night discussing what what they’d read. Angie’s unemotional and pragmatic approach had convinced Jen that she was steadfast in her refusal to have anything to do with Alex. ‘The child’s needs come before the adults. Give it up, Alex, there’s nothing in it for you. If you insist on going through with making a claim, we’ll put in the hands of the courts.’ ‘Who’s we? You and Gary?’ ‘Angie and me. She doesn’t want to know, Alex.’ ‘Have you told her everything, Jen?’ It was a desperate ploy, and one Jen had…

“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!” Since we were old enough to read books, my teachers have preached this mantra to my classes. They would tell us that it is what is on the inside that matters, not just the cover. I must have heard these exact words hundreds of times while in school, yet I still found myself breaking this unwritten rule when I was in the eleventh grade. It was just another cold winter day in rural Minnesota when I entered my language arts class in the morning. Being that it…

What do you know now about yourself that you did not know at the beginning of the course? (This is about you, not leadership concepts.) When I started this course I was very nervous about how I would do in the open class environment that we have. After the first class I went home and strongly debated about dropping this class for one that does not require so much talking. I generally am a person that avoids talking in front of large groups, even answering questions in class makes me nervous.…

When Henrietta Lacks was in surgery before her death in 1951, doctors removed cells, now known as HeLa Cells, without any knowledge or Henrietta or her family to conduct research her disease. During the time of these actions, there were no HIPPA laws or Privacy Acts that prevented the doctors from inputting Henrietta’s medical records in an unprotected database. However, when the Lacks family became aware of the HeLa cells, they raised concerns to NIH of the privacy rights. About three years…

Do Americans Really Have True Privacy "History has shown us that sacrificing our right to privacy can have dire consequences -- we still live in a world where all people are not treated equally. Too many people do not feel free to practice their religion or express their opinion, or love who they choose," (Peterson) In the fourth amendment it states that the American people have the right to privacy. This is not well enforced and this right is often overlooked. Even on the internet the privacy…

The Privacy Act was passed in 1974 and finally became effective on September 25 of 1975. This Act was mainly passed because of an outgrowth of Watergate reforms and also because of the rapid growth of technology such as computers. The main thing that this Act is known for is that it restricts the disclosure of personal records, much opposite of what the Freedom of Information Act does. “The purpose of the Privacy Act is to balance the government’s need to maintain information about individuals…

Publishing Student Images At the beginning of the school year, parents are asked to sign a consent and release of liability agreement that allows the district to post student images for non-profit purposes. Provided there is parental consent, images may be posted on the school website and social media sites. When it comes to special populations, staff are frequently concerned about violating a student’s right to privacy. Ethical issues arise when images are posted that identify individual…

I used to think that giving birth was overrated and believed that the emotional rollercoaster leading up the birth was insincere. In my opinion, giving birth had always seemed frightening, long and most of all painful. Surprisingly, my whole outlook on giving birth and its emotional impact changed when I gave birth to my first child, Joy. I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago. It was a rainy Sunday in February when I invited my best…

its operations in pursuit of profits for its corporate executives. They continue to brandish themselves under the guise of McDonalds brand only because of the cultural capital it has amassed makes it easier to make profits, but if the brand ever became too toxic it is simply expendable. There are some operations though that McDonaldization does seem to exist symbiotically with, this being the temporal expansion of McDonaldization into the sector birthing and life. It must be considered that…
