Freedom of information

When discussing and comparing the different types of literacies and the TPACK framework I believe the information from the three can be intertwined in some ways. TPACK emerged as a framework for identifying and understanding the complex interplay of teachers’ technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge and how these knowledge bases…

over to infringement of someone freedom of speech rights. The biggest issue on not having censorship and privacy hit a nerve on some parents and other advocates. Because exposure of pornography to children as well as the censoring of unappropriated material, also creates actions that could be dangerous to those who abuse their power. But other think is a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The internet provides gateway to freedom of speech of which…

repercussions that may or may not follow. The First Amendment from The Constitution is for the people that live in the United States. The First Amendment is rather important, it describes our rights to freedom of speech, press, to peacefully assemble and religion. Particularly, I am going to focus on the freedom of speech and press throughout this paper as I discuss what I learned about the First Amendment, as well how the First Amendment will impact my future work and profession. Earlier in my…

Throughout history censorship has followed people’s freedom of expression like a shadow. When I fled my country Ethiopia, not only as a result of censorship, but also extreme intimidation, I left my entire family behind. While others continued to write controversial statements about the government and politics, I left because I was not a fighter. Even though Ethiopia’s Constitution explicitly protects freedom of speech, in reality the government ignores it for the most part. In 2011, Reeyot…

Freedoms, the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restrain. Freedoms were made to protect citizens, but is society today interfering with the citizen’s freedoms? Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury helps one think about if freedoms are being restricted, and if so, should they be. The articles “Theme Parks and Your Privacy” and “Theme parks ramp up security: What to know before you go”, also helps one dive into freedoms for safety and protection being…

when managing data because privacy laws are a dynamic miasma that change from border to border, and year to year. The main data source that is under the most scrutiny of privacy laws and regulations are what is known as personally identifiable information (PII). PII is data that can be traced to an individual person like address, ID number, name, etc. Most data experts agree that the European Union has the most rigorous data protections laws, where all PII use is governed…

limiting access to information, ideas or books in order to prevent knowledge or freedom of thought. It suppresses writing or speech for moral, political, or security reasons. Bleeping out swear words in songs, changing the words to more kid friendly version, cutting out sections of a speech, or even just paraphrasing to avoid offending anyone can be considered censorship. Restricting people's freedom of speech is not only against the law, but it also limits access to information - no matter how…

“Should national security override free speech?” Freedom of speech was first established in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution in 1791, and almost two centuries later, in the International Declaration of Human Rights, the UN recognised freedom of speech as a human right (reference). The question of whether or not national security should override the freedom of speech has been, and continues to be a controversial subject, particularly among governments and law-abiding…

is an excellent chapter that explains today’s America. Gore’s main point is how news media has changed with time, from the type of information it contains to the way it is spread to civilians. Also by the ways that government uses media as advertainment to win their elections. He also talks about the Founding Fathers plan to have a democratic country and having freedom of speech. Gore mainly argues about how media has changed throughout the time. He argues by using Mills’ Method of Agreement…

interpretations for everyone. Each individual has witnessed or experienced some type of censorship in their lives where it is the suppression or prohibition of certain things such as books, media, and news. Having things censored is taking away the freedom of an individual it’s like enclosing an individual in a box without letting the person see, listen, smell, touch, and taste the reality. There are different thoughts on things being censored some may follow along or go against it, but if…
