Mainly to clarify the difference between civil rights and civil liberties.
Answer all of the following questions:
1. Discuss the first amendment as it pertains to freedom of religion. The wording says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….”. You should fully explain what these two parts actually mean (establishment clause and the free exercise clause). Then you will need to explain the Supreme Court’s position on each of them using court cases to explain. Your book can get you started, but I would also suggest that you go to google and type in (issues with the free exercise clause of the first amendment) and look for current court cases to discuss. Then do the same for establishment clause of the first amendment. It will probably take you to oyez.org which is an excellent source of information. Look for at least 3 current court cases for both the establishment and free exercise clauses.
2. Your text discusses some of the privacy issues, including the right to die.
Please watch the following PBS film that is just under an hour. After watching, write a 2 page double-spaced paper with your thoughts on having the right to die – should individuals have this right or not – and why. You must have 3 references back to the film.
Please watch the following documentary on this topic:
To get more sources and more information, again you can google “right to die issues” or go to https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/10/06/expanding-the-right-to-die?.?mc=aud_dev&ad-keywords=auddevgate&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqKuKBhCxARIsACf4XuGjIysJKe4sM3GB9mPv-w7Zs2r5YoLLinomVEqpTSE6lZaE6LtfbQUaAtnxEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.dsLinks to an external site.
This is also a good source:
3. Please watch the following two videos and then write a 2-page double spaced paper – one page should be your reaction to the videos (not a summary of the videos) and the second page should be an assessment of where you believe America stands today on racial equality, especially in light of the events of the past few years with the Black Lives Matter movement.
