[QUOTE="been, post: 2109229, member: 19006"] So Iv got this online class (but iv got a actual skewl teacher that runs the class) called Global Studies. It covers current events. Fills kids heads with all kinds of BS. I got kinda angry when I got my recent assignment. The assignment was "If you could only have 5 rights what would they be?" This is the list to choose from Right to bear arms Right to freedom of speech Right to legal counsel Right to protection from cruel and unusual punishment Right to freedom of the press Right to a jury trial Right to freedom of religion Right to peacefully assemble Right to protection from self-incrimination Right to privacy QUESTION #1 What rights did you rank in the top five? ANSWER #1 It is very difficult to rank my rights in order from most important to least. It is just as difficult to list 5 rights that are more important to others. All rights are of equal importance thus ranking them is almost pointless. If I HAD to choose five rights then it would be The right to bear arms, the right to privacy, the right to protection from self incrimination, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. These are not in any particular order from importance though. QUESTION #2 Why did you think these were most important? ANSWER #2 I thought these were most important for several reasons. One of the most important reasons is because they are pertinent to me in particular. Another reason is because i had to. I personally do not think that the rights I chose are any less important than the ones I did not chose. The rights I chose would be irrelevant without the other rights to support them. QUESTION #3 What did you notice about the responses of those you interviewed? (didnt really have to interview anyone, just put what you think) ANSWER #3 The person I interviewed had the same opinion as me. They also believe that taking away some rights is taking away all rights. The rights guaranteed in the constitution are of the utmost importance and when one is threatened they are all threatened. Saying that one right is more important or worth more than another is unwise. Willingly giving up one right is basically giving up all of your rights. QUESTION #4 When you tabulate your results, which rights end up in the top five? ANSWER #4 The rights that end up in the top five are the ones that I listed in my first response. They end up in the top five for the same reason I gave in response two. And as of now the question at hand is still irrelevant. Since the question of origin is irrelevant, question four is also irrelevant. QUESTION #5 How do your survey results differ from your personal responses? ANSWER #5 The survey results do not differ from my personal response. I do not know how to answer a question without a logical answer. This assignment is making me feel like HAL9000 from "2001 A Space Odyssey". "I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you." So am I the only one who thinks like this? I hope not. I just wonder what my teacher is gonna think when he grades the assignment :P [/QUOTE]
