                                           District Assessment (digital privacy)

                            
                            In the past when you wanted to purchase goods you could go to the store, pick up your items, pay and leave. While these activities are still possible, more and more today we find ourselves pressured to get “savers cards.” Modern businesses, like never before, track who you are and what you are burying in an effort to be able to better serve you and become more efficient. While great for the companies implementing these policies, what does it mean for your privacy, and your wallet. Should digital privacy be an expectation in the twenty-first century? No I don't think so because for me safety is my number one priority. I think it is okay for the government to check our digital privacy because they have to protect our from a wide variety of threats. Anyways why should you expect digital privacy. In the article ''The Eternal Value of Privacy'', Schneier says ''if you are not doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide''. From that I can say, if you are doing something wrong, they will suspect you. That is why they check who we call and what we search.
                      
                           My rebuttal is that they collect data for a reason and for our safety, so that they can be prepared to confront the issue. In the U.S Data Collection Fact sheet, they say ''Clapper said that the telephone records allow analysts to observe patterns overtime...'' So by this whenever they see something suspicious, they will be ready to take action.

                     
                    Privacy is a fundamental right for a very strong reason. It is essential for individuals to have control of their personal lives and to be free from invasion and surveillance in order to feel free from threat, particularly from the state. Our freedom of expression relies on privacy. When privacy is removed, so is the ability to speak and associate freely. But I only think it is okay for the government to check it for a suspicious reason, not for big data profiling. Now in the article '' NSA's phone snooping a different kind of creepy''. It says '' marketers use big data profiling to predict who is about to get pregnant, who is likely to to buy a new car...that is how they what ads to send to whom''. Now that is what I would expect digital privacy for. I would expect it for that because I do not want anybody checking what I am searching or who I'm calling. That is invading my personal space.

                   
                      Also they can not be accessed unless a judge gives approval. In the U.S Data  Collection Fact sheet, it says '' Senator Dianne Feinstein is the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. She said that the records can't be accessed unless the government can show reasonable suspicion that they are relevant to terrorist activity''. So that is one more reason why I wouldn't expect digital privacy in the twenty-first century because nobody can access it like that, they would have to go through the process.

                    I do not expect digital privacy in the twenty-first century as you can see by the reasons I have explained. I do not expect it because they need it to conduct electronic surveillance and other activities as part of espionage, terrorism, and national security investigations. They need these records to help them discover terror plots. If that means acknowledging that you can’t live in the twenty-first century without giving information away, and that you don’t lose control of your information by doing so, it would be, well, stunning. Many businesses, employees, and consumers have undergone some type of security breach or invasion of privacy.   Privacy is one of the biggest topics of discussion in today’s society and is nothing new to the world of technology.

                        I  went  to  carthay  center  elementary.  After  that  I  went  to  Frederick   Douglass.  I  was  in  honors  class  when  I  went  to  that  school.  I  went  there  for  seventh  grade  but  in  eight  grade,  I  went  to  Laurel  Span  school.  So  I  stayed  their  for  eight  grade.  Frederick  was  located  on  Adam's.   Laurel  was  located  on  Hayworth.  Now  I  go  to  Fairfax  High  school  which  is  on  Melrose.

My  reading  is  in  the  middle,  like  average. My  reading  really   improved  by  this  one  teacher  inspiring  me. Her  name   is  Ms.  Cronyn. Before  that  I  did  not  like  reading  at  all. This  made  a  big  difference  in  my  vocabulary. The  more  I  read, the more  I  improve. I  don't  know  but  the  more  I  read,  I  become  a  better  writer. There  are  so  many  benefits  in  reading. One  benefit  is  knowledge,  Everything  you  read  fills  your   head  with  new  bits  of  information,  and  you  never  know  when  it  might  come  in  handy. The  more  knowledge  you  have,  the  better  equipped  you  are  to  tackle  any  challenge  you'll  ever  face.

I  know  that  Im  a  very  good  student. I  usually  don’t  praise  myself. Teachers  are  mostly  proud  from  the  work  I  do. I  help  others. I  follow  the  teacher’s  directions. I  am  quiet  when  the  teacher  is  talking. I  turn  my  work  on  time  unless  Im  absent.

I  participate  in  class  discussions.

 I  do  expect  a  lot  from  you. You  do  seem  very  nice  and  funny.  You  have  a  great  sense  of  humor. I  want  learn  a  lot. I  hope  you  help  me  when  I  need  help. I  hope  I  don’t  have  any  problems  with  you  and  that  my  year  goes  good. I   reflect  on  what  you  bring  to  the  table  as  a  student. I  recognize  that  your  mind  tries  to  solve  problems  it  can't  begin  to  know  the  answer  to. Empty  yourself  of  what  you  think  you  know,  then  let  something  new  come  forth,  fresh  in  the 

moment. I  want  to  learn  something  new  and  useful  for  each  lesson.

  

I  feel  good  about  how  I  see  myself  academically  in  the  future. I  want  to  major  in  criminal  justice. I  want  to  go  to  Harvard.  I  want  to  go  in  the  law  field. Im  a  L.A.P.D.  cadet  so  that  helps  to  show  me  what  it  would  be  like  to  be  a  police  officer. That  really  gives  me  a  head  start.  It  also  teaches  me  new  laws  that  I  never  knew. 

    

J.F.K Esaay

 

This  essay  is  about  John  F.  Kennedy.  He  had  been  president  more  than  a  thousand days.  He  had  a  wife  named  Jaqueline.  He  had  planned  a  disastrous  invasion  of  Cuba.  He  did  achieve  a  lot.  This  is  about  using  a  primary  source  and  secondary  source  to  see  how  they  relate  about  the  same  topic  and  what  are  the  differences.

 In  the  primary  source  and  secondary  source,  they  both  provide  the  same  information  on  when  he  died.  He  died  on  November  22,  1963.  They  also  provide  the  same  information  about  how  the  world  mourns  and  how  his  press  secretary  mourns.

 In  the  primary  source  the  tone  is  more  of  facts  and  opinions.  Or  a  fact  representing a  statement.  For  example,  ''The  sudden  death  of  the  young  and  vigorous  American  president  shocked  the  world.  Kennedy's  body  was  brought  back  to  the  white  house  and  placed  in  the  East  room  for  twenty-four  hours.''

 In  the  secondary  source  the  tone  is  more  of  how  the  Kennedy's  press  secretary  felt.  More  of  emotions  and  first  point  of  view.  For  example,  ''I  was  so  destroyed,  I  admired  J.F.K.  I  had  a  feeling  that  not  only  he  was  lost,  but  that  my  life  was  lost.''

Pierre  Salinger,  President  Kennedy's  press  secretary,  remembers  where  he  was  and  how  he  felt  when  he  heard  the  news  of  Kennedy's  assassination.  ''I  was  in  the  plane  reading  the  economics  papers  when  suddenly  somebody  came  and  told  me  the  six  cabinet  secretaries  had  to  see  me.  They  had  handed  me  a  wire  bulletin  saying  Kennedy  has  been  shot.''  He  presents  this  in  a  way  like  he  found  out  when  the  primary  source  states  that  he  has  been  shot  in  a  fact.
 
The  primary  source  says  how  the  world  mourns.  ''  Throughout  the  day  and  night  thousands  of  people  filed  past  the  guarded  caskets.  Representatives  from  over  ninety  countries  attended  the  funeral  on  November  twenty-five.''  Although  when  Pierre  Salinger  represents  himself  in  shock.  ''  The  plane  turned  around  and  headed  back  to  Honolulu,  and  I  was  instructed  to  take  over  the  communications  system  to  the  white  house  and  find  out  what  happened.''

 Another  way  it  shows  the  primary  source  is  different  from  the  secondary  source.  The    primary  source  is  filled  with  information.  It  said  where  Kennedy  was  buried.''Kennedy  was  buried  with  full  military  honors  at  the  Arlington  National  Cemetery  across  the  Potomac  river  from  Washington  D.C.

 Another  thing  I  noticed  that  was  different  was  their  titles.  One  of  them  is  named  Kennedy's  Assassination.  The  other  is  named  ''For  me,  it  was  a  dramatic  day.''  From  Kennedy's  Assassination  you  would  expect  how  he  died  and  realistic  facts.  From  ''For  me,  it  was  a  dramatic  day''  you  would  expect  emotions.  It  is  more  of  a  personal  essay
