Eagle Eye

1) a centralized system would be of benefit because things such as terrorism, or much of the deadly or horrible crime, could be prevented. However, if the process is abused, it would be violation of privacy.

2) The advanced technology was able to control their lives because it controlled everything.  It could threaten them with their lives or even the life of a loved one.

3) No. Though it could provide protection and successfully prevent crime, I have little faith that it would be used for the right reasons.

4) Using technology wisely is doing whatever you can to protect your privacy. Once its out there, anyone has access to it.

5) The movie is kind of a preview of what's to come. I believe in the future, that something such as Eagle Eye could happen. A allowing technology to become more and more prominent is the cause.

Bellringer 9/18

1) To holp prevent things such as suicide, crack down on drug use or other illegal activities, or prevent acts such as school shootings.

2)Yes and No. The fact that they can monitor and report if a student is using their phone, is an invasion of privacy. On the other hand, using the technology to prevent things such as school shootings or suicide, is necessary.

3)I would be rather upset if they implemented this program in barbour county. Except for using it for the prevention of tragedies, not spying of students personal lives.

Bellringer 9/17

1) The reaction of some people suggests that becoming a "melting pot" is easier said than done. There will always be "those" people who have racist and unjust feelings and reactions. However, there were those who defended the girls rights, and did the right things.

2)The civil rights movement should equally effect all minorities, however there are always those who refuse to change.

Bellringer 9/10

1) McDonald's primary motivation is always money, however they can turn the most profit.
2) The number of calories for half that meal is 1505. This would have a profound effect on the obesity rates.
3) Considering the primary motivation for anything today is money, and how much they make no matter the quality or amount the customer is getting. If other stores see that they are successful, they will definitely follow.

BellRinger 9/9

1) I think every country has an obligation to be the world police force, if they wish to reap the benefits. If they want the protection and alliances which can come from it, they must also participate on the flip-side.

2) The UN's goal is to keep peace and rule on international matters. Which they should uphold, no matter what.

3) Chemical weapons cause such great concern because they have the potential to be devastating on an international scale. They could cause mass chaos in a matter of seconds.

Bellringer 9/6

1) My reaction is that i agree with both sides. He shouldn't have slapped him in the face. also, that the child was a little too young. It would have been more acceptable if he had waited a few years, until the child was old enough to understand.

2) The fathers action showed that he REALLY cared about sentence structure. It aslo brings to loght that america has in fact gone too soft. Most of it's young citizens aren't raised with the drive to learn or do anything with their lives.

3) This would have been more than acceptable in the 1950's. It was a generally accepted fact in the art of raising children.

Dollar Menu?

1) In my opinion, they can raise their prices is they so wish to do so. However, they should not call it the "Dollar" menu.

2) If they raise their prices, they should raise workers wages.

Bellringer 9/3

1) In a way, I believe it is an invasion of privacy. However, I can see why it's necessary. With limitation, it is acceptable, simply because it could prevent possible attacks. If an individual has a serious ussue, they shouldn't put such things on the internet. Once something is posted, it's there forever. For anybody who wishes to use it, no matter what their purpose.

2) Truthfully, I have not read the terms of service. However; it does not matter either way to me. In my opinion, the internet is never secret nor sacred. If you don't want is seen, don't type it.

3) Once you post something on Facebook, Facebook then owns it. They can do with it what they please.
