Free Expression

 Stable Change

It is very important for people to be able to vent out their own emotions about certain government and the way that

the government is handling the people. It is also important that the people have an opinion about certain laws and

regulations that the government is upholding onto them. Also, according to an ACLU document, the freedom of

expressing ones self is very important for the people because it allows people to express our thoughts and be able

to communicate those thoughts to other people as well. It makes us feel worthy in our society, in turn giving value

to human power and letting people realize how much power that they have in a society. It is also very crucial for

society to advance and attain in knowledge and also it helps society uncover truths about either corrupted figures

in the government or what type of people are in our society. It is also true that any type of point of view, even

those that are wrong or bad, can be proved beneficial when obtaining information when expressing speech. It is

also very important for the people to have their own opinions so they can check the government from being evil

or corrupted by power. It is also true that American people are the ones determining their own life so there for

they need to have the knowledge to be able to understand what is important and beneficial for them. These are

all very important because it basically defines a person’s future and that they are in control of what happens to

their future. 

Protect Dissent

Giving the people the right to hate on the government is very important as it lets the people control what laws should be in place and it basically checks on whether the government is corrupted or not based on what their reaction is to a mob of hate speech or what types of laws they have towards certain types of people. Also even if hate speech towards government is really offensive and vulgar, it is still protected under the 1st Amendment. For example, in an article from Fordham, they explain a specific case where the court was in favor of the National Socialist Party of America because of the severe amount of racism and slurs used against them from the people of Skokie. However, because the 1st amendment protects many types of speeches including hate speech, they won the case. This is very important because it shows that we can correct a corrupted government with hate speech and be protected under the 1st Amendment.

U.S. Supreme Court

 U.S. Supreme Court

I find the Supreme Court to be very interesting in how much power that they hold within their court. Something that I didn't know when watching the video is that sometimes, justices will accidently overlook certain details in a trial so the other justices always ask certain questions to mark importance in a certain matter and remind the other judges of such matter. I believe that the most important take away point of the supreme court has to be that the 9 chief justices stand to protect the people and answer any problems that the people raise to them, not them going out and picking out problems for themselves to answer. The most surprising thing that I learned from this video was that most of the chiefs whenever first going into office and doing there job were very nervous at first, some even said that it took them three to five years to not be nervous anymore and just do their job. I think this because I would think that they would have just hired people who wouldn't be nervous and would just be able to keep a calm composure when presented with an audience during a case. I will say that this video definitely made me respect the supreme course more and it also helped me understand that they don't just work for power and money but also that the supreme court is home to a non-biased group of chief justices that only want what is best for the people and not for a specific party. 

Top 5 Sources

 IGN

As someone who is in the Game Design industry, it is very important for me to keep track of what is going on between different companies, consoles, and games. IGN gives all the important details that I need between showing how games have influenced the future of Game Design and Lawsuits against certain companies for stuff like copyright and trademark infringement against other companies or just even smaller games earning money. They also just have walkthroughs of different games and they point out key features that represent very specific themes in said games. There are also game reviews for people to see others opinions on what they feel about certain games, certain aspects that they link and other aspects that they are not a fan of.

Twitter/X

Twitter, now known as X, is a very good way to find information across the world with it getting constant updates from many different people. You could practically find anything on X but the thing that makes this source of information valuable is the way it feeds it to you. Initially as you first get on X, there are loads of different types of posts whether it's related to politics or if it has to do with new on games but as you explore X more and more, it takes that information of what you look at and tries to send you more information that is more so related or more something that X would think that you would be interested in seeing. For example, I look at posts for e-sports, specifically for a game called Smash Ultimate, about like upcoming tournaments and stuff like that. X would the give me information on other tournaments and results, people posting tier lists, and so on. This proves to be very useful as it gives me information that is useful to me.

Microsoft Start

Another piece of news that I use quite often is a website called Microsoft Start or MSN for short. The way MSN works is that it takes what you look at on the Microsoft web and then it feeds you articles that you can look at that relates to what you are interested in. However the big difference between this and Twitter is that every time you open up a different browser to like look up anything, MSN will have a little spot where it rotates out different articles that you can look at or just ignore and continue web browsing like normal. I have looked at a couple different articles relating to mainly game releases or information related to different companies that makes games. They can also release information about not related to your recent searches to give you some new stuff to look at too.

CNN

If I am ever wanting to look at just news about politics to see what is going on in the world, I would usually just look at CNN. Ever since middle school, I have used CNN as a reliable source for political news and they are also very informative about politics that happen today. They also talk about past events that have happened, stating historical, important information to better help us understand how we are where we are today. They are very reliable as I have been using CNN for about 10 years and I have learned a lot just from skimming through their news articles and videos, even to the point where they get used during history classes to help inform students about past events.

ESPN

One last news website that I rarely look at is ESPN. Even though I don't use it a lot, ESPN is perfect for people who either want to know what happened between a game or whether a team drafted a new player. ESPN is a very resourceful website just for helping people understand what exactly is going on the in sports scene. They can talk about how a certain player got injured as well so they have many different types of information that they feed into ESPN for people to know. The best part of ESPN though is that they also have streaming services so you can watch games live on their website to see what's happening.
