Do you believe the U.S. Government should continue to have the Patriot Act in place given there still remain terrorist threats ex. (ISIS)?

Students are to go to: www.wikipedia.orgPlease enter: Patriot ActThe reading is quite voluminous, & although every person should be aware of what it contains, since it effects our rights, I would just expect you to at least scan each section to get an idea of the contents. Scroll down until you reach: CONTROVERSY and read what it describes. There will be 2 questions to answer.1. Do you believe the U.S. Government should continue to have the Patriot Act in place given there still remain terrorist threats ex. (ISIS)?2. What is your opinion on “Sneak & Peak” searches? (See under Title II: Surveillance Procedures). Is the U.S. Government justified in gaining access & obtaining documents to reveal your patterns of how you live?

Will Stricter gun laws will reduce the street violence in America???????????????????????

I?????????????????????? have the system automatically set to submit your assignment through the Plaigarism Detection Program (Unicheck). You will receive a score back to inform you of your originality score. You cannot “un-submit” a document, but you may submit a document multiple times without penalty. This paper will also be registered in the institutional library and will be reported as PLAIGARISM if used in another course.I am fairly certain that almost each of you will agree with the following statement: we are all different from each other. Different! We spend our lives trying to be similiar to everyone else just so we’ll fit into the basket with other “normal” folk, and at the same time we strive for our own “unique” flavor to add to the stew. (I think I mixed my metaphors in that sentence!). Have you ever tried to make a decision about where to eat with a group of 6 or more people? Everyone has a different opinion…and that is the point of this particular assignment. We sometimes need to “persuade” people to accept our “position” of a stance that we have taken based on our individualized opinion!So…I would like for you to think of a controversial topic and defend your position by giving credible evidence from experts to back your opinion. Since this assignment is argumentative in nature, you will want to address the opposing view or views to y??????????????????????our stance and to refute them or concede to them. When professors ask for expert evidence, they are wanting you to do some research to locate that logical, credible, and reliable information to support your opinion and to “persuade” your audience to accept your opinion. This verification process is known as “vetting your sources.”There would probably be no end to the number of topics that a student could invent, however, when the term “expert evidence” is introduced, our list of topics may become smaller. I would like for you to limit your sources to no fewer than 2 and no more than 5 (unless just absolutely necessary). You may use either MLA (preferred) or APA styleguides for this paper (Your textbook has excellent information on both formats) The template that I’ve enclosed in the Lecture Materials should help you know the length of the paper since I do not specify page numbers or a word count. My emphasis is more on the thorough development of the topic. You are not required to submit a completed template, but it will offer you some guidance in organizing and developing your paper, and you may submit it if you so desire. You may use either organizational method (a separate paragraph for opposing views or an alternating discussion of the opposing views as you move through the paper).Topic for paper is: Will Stricter gun laws will reduce the street violence in America???????????????????????
