- 1823: Problems with Gun Control
- ... to ask today is, are the people responsible enough to have the unlimited rights that they seem to have under this Amendment. Clede states, "that does not mean that the government can constitutionally prohibit all weapons, but it probably means that the government can reasonably regulate and limit their use." I agree with Clede's point. The language of the Constitution is very vague. The second amendment states, " A well-regulated militia, being ... is or types of weapons deemed reasonable for protection. It then should be left to Congress, or more importantly the Supreme Court to interrupt this vague language.

- 1824: The Real World Of Technology B
- ... acid rain and global warming to name a few, are due to the infrastructures built to support technology and its divisible benefits (p.67). Because of the newfound relationship between government and the private sector and the fact that these infrastructures can not be built without the governments of the world, the state is just as much to blame for the current condition of the environment as any polluting cooperation. The difference between a private company and the government, Franklin insists, is that citizens surrendered some of their individual autonomy (and some of their money) to the state for the protection and advancement of the the common good - that is indivisible benefits. (p.66). When governments do not attempt to stop the destruction caused by the creation of these infrastructures, the government is doing a disservice to its citizens. Just as the Industrial Revolution led to productive and holistic (p.12) divisions of labor, she fears that new technologies non-communication ...

Moreover, Ostrowski also states that ...
- 1827: 1984
- The terrors of a totalitarian government presented in George Orwell’s 1984 apply not only to the Party, but also to the Stalinist Russia of the 1930’s.
