Social Media Paper
The document discusses the impact of social media on society. It addresses three main issues: personal relationships, privacy, and community engagement. Regarding personal relationships, some studies have found social media improves mood and teaches empathy. However, privacy is a concern as data mining and oversharing of information is common. Community engagement on social media has helped organize causes and spread awareness, though disagreements can also occur. In conclusion, social media has both benefits and risks to relationships, privacy, and civic participation.
Stobb - 2013 - SL Poster
The document describes a service-learning project aimed at raising political efficacy among high school sophomores. It involved three sections: introducing key concepts like political efficacy and the First Amendment, having students choose an issue and create a project using their rights, and sharing/reflecting. Initial surveys found most students did not believe they could make a difference, but after the project all did. It was successful in teaching students about their rights and how to create change, and the author recommends expanding it to more classes to inspire more youth civic engagement.
Report #3 Changing Public Opinion Before beginning this
Report #3: Changing Public Opinion
Before beginning this assignment, make certain that you have read Chapter 6 in your text (“Public Opinion
and Political Action”), the 2021 Pew Research Center Report titled “Americans See Broad Responsibilities for
Government; Little Change Since 2019” (March 17), and the 2020 article by Eli Finkel et al. from Science titled,
“Political Sectarianism in America” (October, Vol. 370, Issue 6516). Then write a brief report that contains
three separate sections that address all the points in each set of questions. Notice the expected word count
for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within
the range).
1. Relying on the Pew Research Center Report, briefly summarize what Americans think about the role
of the federal government in addressing various policy issues (indicate specific areas and indicate
where support is strongest and where it is weakest). Also, describe general levels of trust of and
contentment with the federal government and indicate what changes can be detected over time.
(approximately 150-200 words)
2. How do attitudes about federal government responsibilities differ by age, race, income, and
partisanship (Democrats and Republicans)? Be sure to indicate where the differences are the least and
where they are the greatest on each of these dimensions (age, race, income, and partisanship).
(approximately 150-200 words)
3. Based on your reading of “Political Sectarianism in America,” (a) summarize the article’s major
findings, (b) list and describe the three causes identified for the increase in political sectarianism, and
(c) identify and elaborate on a few of the consequences of this trend. (approximately 150-200 words)
Be careful not to plagiarize. If you want to quote directly, do so using quotation marks (giving the page number
if available). But try to do this sparingly and simply use your own words in addressing the questions.
In your writing, use an analytical tone that is free of your personal opinions. In other words, try to answer the
questions in a straightforward and objective manner.
When you are done, save the document as a Word file or as an Adobe PDF file (it cannot be Google docs, etc.)
and upload it through Moodle (these parts are very important!). Papers not uploaded by the deadline will receive
a grade penalty.
WARNING: This is an individual assignment and you are to do your own work. Use of another person’s
words without proper citation or copying from another student’s paper is considered plagiarism. All papers are
checked and retained in a plagiarism software program to identify cheating. Any suspicion of plagiarism or
other violations of the university’s academic conduct policies are turned over to the Dean of Students.

- A 2005 study commissioned by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and conducted by the University of Connecticut surveyed over 100,000 high school students about their knowledge and views of First Amendment rights.
- The study found that high school students have significant gaps in their understanding of free speech and press rights, with most unable to correctly answer questions about issues like flag-burning and censorship.
- The study concluded that exposure to student media and classroom discussion of the First Amendment are important to developing an appreciation for these rights among young people. However, many schools are reducing or eliminating student media programs.

This article discusses written constitutions around the world and some trends that have emerged from studying constitutions globally and over time. Some key points:
- Nearly all countries now have a written constitution, which has become the global norm since the early 20th century.
- Constitutions tend to be adopted in "waves" corresponding to major global events like wars or the end of the Cold War.
- The content of constitutions is influenced by international norms and other countries' examples, leading to similarities across documents.
- However, constitutions also reflect the era in which they are drafted. Certain rights and language in preambles have become more or less common over time.
- The average lifespan of a constitution

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Social media is constantly inundated with posts that contain rich and timely information about events relevant to public safety
Social media can be used track people as they move from one location to the next
Software can be deployed to identify key words like “gun”, “fight”, and “shoot” to track posts that are indicative of danger and/or criminal activity
The goal of these programs and the partnership with law enforcement is to bypass privacy options of the social media sites
Social media data mining has great potential to make policing more proactive – But is it legal? Ethical?
Authorities are already using social media, such as posts and comments, to store information and to keep tabs on people
Facebook and Instagram oppose this effort

INTRODUCTION
Is social media data mining ethical?
Should the government and law enforcement agencies be legally authorized to undermine resident privacy in an effort to prevent/deter crime?
What is the public’s reasonable expectation of privacy?
Is social data mining considered a warrantless search?
Social media posts are public – does that make it legal and ethical to monitor an individual’s posts over a period of time?
Law enforcement agencies should reveal what data they are collecting, how it is being collected, and what it is being used for
Public education/engagement about this effort should be mandatory!
Clear guidelines and regulations must be imposed on this process!

- Newspapers play a bigger role than realized, ranking as the top source for information on 11 of 16 local topics like crime, government, and schools.
- The internet is increasingly important, especially for younger people, but no single source dominates as people pick sources based on topic.
Continuous Analytical Reflection
The document provides a continuous analytical reflection on topics related to citizenship, inequality, gender, sexuality, and action for change. It discusses issues like racial inequality in the American justice system, the emergence of slacktivism, activism vs slacktivism, and rape culture.

Government; Little Change Since 2019” (March 17), and the 2020 article by Eli Finkel et al. from Science titled,
“Political Sectarianism in America” (October, Vol. 370, Issue 6516). Then write a brief report that contains
three separate sections that address all the points in each set of questions. Notice the expected word count
for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within
the range).
1. Relying on the Pew Research Center Report, briefly summarize what Americans think about the role
of the federal government in addressing various policy issues (indicate specific areas and indicate
where support is strongest and where it is weakest). Also, describe general levels of trust of and
contentment with the federal government and indicate what changes can be detected over time.
(approximately 150-200 words)
2. How do attitudes about federal government responsibilities differ by age, race, income, and
partisanship (Democrats and Republicans)? Be sure to indicate where the differences are the least and
where they are the greatest on each of these dimensions (age, race, income, and partisanship).
(approximately 150-200 words)
3. Based on your reading of “Political Sectarianism in America,” (a) summarize the article’s major
findings, (b) list and describe the three causes identified for the increase in political sectarianism, and
(c) identify and elaborate on a few of the consequences of this trend. (approximately 150-200 words)
Be careful not to plagiarize. If you want to quote directly, do so using quotation marks (giving the page number
if available). But try to do this sparingly and simply use your own words in addressing the questions.
In your writing, use an analytical tone that is free of your personal opinions. In other words, try to answer the
questions in a straightforward and objective manner.
When you are done, save the document as a Word file or as an Adobe PDF file (it cannot be Google docs, etc.)
and upload it through Moodle (these parts are very important!). Papers not uploaded by the deadline will receive
a grade penalty.
WARNING: This is an individual assignment and you are to do your own work. Use of another person’s
words without proper citation or copying from another student’s paper is considered plagiarism. All papers are
checked and retained in a plagiarism software program to identify cheating. Any suspicion of plagiarism or
other violations of the university’s academic conduct policies are turned over to the Dean of Students.

- A 2005 study commissioned by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and conducted by the University of Connecticut surveyed over 100,000 high school students about their knowledge and views of First Amendment rights.
- The study found that high school students have significant gaps in their understanding of free speech and press rights, with most unable to correctly answer questions about issues like flag-burning and censorship.
- The study concluded that exposure to student media and classroom discussion of the First Amendment are important to developing an appreciation for these rights among young people. However, many schools are reducing or eliminating student media programs.

This document discusses the history of child protection efforts in the United States, beginning with the establishment of the first Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 1874 in response to the high-profile case of Mary Ellen Wilson. It then discusses the creation of the federal Children's Bureau in 1912, which recognized the federal government's role in child welfare. The document notes that private child protection charities struggled during the Great Depression, increasing calls for greater government involvement in child protection and social services.

This article discusses written constitutions around the world and some trends that have emerged from studying constitutions globally and over time. Some key points:
- Nearly all countries now have a written constitution, which has become the global norm since the early 20th century.
- Constitutions tend to be adopted in "waves" corresponding to major global events like wars or the end of the Cold War.
- The content of constitutions is influenced by international norms and other countries' examples, leading to similarities across documents.
- However, constitutions also reflect the era in which they are drafted. Certain rights and language in preambles have become more or less common over time.
- The average lifespan of a constitution

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Social media is constantly inundated with posts that contain rich and timely information about events relevant to public safety
Social media can be used track people as they move from one location to the next
Software can be deployed to identify key words like “gun”, “fight”, and “shoot” to track posts that are indicative of danger and/or criminal activity
The goal of these programs and the partnership with law enforcement is to bypass privacy options of the social media sites
Social media data mining has great potential to make policing more proactive – But is it legal? Ethical?
Authorities are already using social media, such as posts and comments, to store information and to keep tabs on people
Facebook and Instagram oppose this effort

INTRODUCTION
Is social media data mining ethical?
Should the government and law enforcement agencies be legally authorized to undermine resident privacy in an effort to prevent/deter crime?
What is the public’s reasonable expectation of privacy?
Is social data mining considered a warrantless search?
Social media posts are public – does that make it legal and ethical to monitor an individual’s posts over a period of time?
Law enforcement agencies should reveal what data they are collecting, how it is being collected, and what it is being used for
Public education/engagement about this effort should be mandatory!
Clear guidelines and regulations must be imposed on this process!

How Local People Learn about their Local Community
This document summarizes the key findings of a survey about how people learn about their local community. Some of the main points are:
- Americans use a variety of sources for local news, not just TV as commonly believed. Sources include newspapers, radio, internet, and word of mouth.
- Younger adults rely more on the internet while older adults still use more traditional sources like TV and newspapers.
- Newspapers play a bigger role than realized, ranking as the top source for information on 11 of 16 local topics like crime, government, and schools.
- The internet is increasingly important, especially for younger people, but no single source dominates as people pick sources based on topic.
Continuous Analytical Reflection
The document provides a continuous analytical reflection on topics related to citizenship, inequality, gender, sexuality, and action for change. It discusses issues like racial inequality in the American justice system, the emergence of slacktivism, activism vs slacktivism, and rape culture. The reflection is based on analysis of various sources and contains over 20 citations and links to related videos and images.

This document summarizes and critiques points made in a report by Mr. Earl regarding the tax-exempt status of the League for Industrial Democracy (LID). It makes the following key points:
1) The LID began as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, a purely educational discussion group not committed to any political party or doctrine. It stimulated constructive thinking on social issues.
2) Mr. Earl selectively quotes from old LID publications to portray an imbalanced view. The LID is not responsible for all opinions expressed at forums it sponsors.
3) The LID's educational conferences discussed important issues like welfare states and involved experts from different fields. Mr. Earl again selectively quotes out of context to

The document discusses the history and importance of information literacy. It describes how Paul Zurkowski first proposed universal information literacy training in 1974 to help people learn to search new databases and mainframe computers. It then discusses how a lack of information literacy skills can undermine democracy by allowing misinformation to spread and powerful groups to control information. Finally, it argues that information literacy can create a "New Era of Enlightenment" by empowering citizens to navigate information and make informed decisions about their lives and countries. Zurkowski proposes the Information Action Coalition to extend information literacy training globally.

is required in the perfor-
mance of our most basic
public responsibilities, even
service in the armed forces.
It is the very foundation of
good citizenship. Today it
is a principal instrument in
awakening the child to cul-
tural values, in preparing
him for later professional
training, and in helping him
to adjust normally to his en-
vironment. In these days, it is
doubtful that any child may
reasonably be expected to
succeed in life if he is de-
nied the opportunity of an
education.
But in 1973, in San Antonio
Independent School District v.
Rodriguez, the Supreme Court
held that access to public
education was not a consti-
tutional right under the U.S.
Constitution.
In another case, Chinese-
American students with
limited English language
profi ciency claimed the San
Francisco school district’s
failure to provide language
accommodation and support
for them violated the U.S.
Constitution and Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act. Find-
ing in favor of the students,
in Lau v. Nichols (1974), the
Supreme Court focused not
on the constitutional question
but on the Civil Rights Act.
Congress codifi ed much of
the decision shortly thereafter
by passing the Equal Educa-
tion Opportunities Act.
Denying children an
education because
of the actions of their
parents is not legal.
The right to a public educa-
tion for those who are not
U.S. citizens, legal residents,
or living with their parents is
not a clear and stable issue.
Children who enter the U.S.
illegally with or without their
parents are at the heart of this
question.
Let’s begin with the 1954
U.S. Supreme Court decision
in Brown v. Board of Education,
where the court declared state
laws denying access to public
schools based on race to be
unconstitutional under the
Equal Protection clause:
Today education is per-
haps the most important
function of state and local
governments. Compulsory
school attendance laws and
the great expenditures for
education both demon-
strate our recognition of the
importance of education to
our democratic society. It
cratic system of government
and . . . the primary vehicle
for transmitting the values on
which our society rests. . . . In
sum, education has a funda-
mental role in maintaining
the fabric of our society.”
The Court noted that, if
the state intends to deny such
a benefi t, it should have a
suffi ciently valid reason. The
Court found that denying
children an education, not
due to their own actions, but
the actions of their parents,
was not suffi ciently compel-
ling to deny children this
important public benefi t.
In Martinez v. Bynum, 461
U.S. 321 (1983), the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled (8 -1)
on another Texas statute
intended to close the school-
house doors to nonresident
children. The student was
a U.S. citizen by birth. But,
when he was a young child,
he and his parents moved to
Mexico, where his parents

Problem with Submission
Explanation:
Kikana: This Touchstone assignment shows good effort. I am returning this Touchstone ungraded, though, because it does not effectively follow the instructions. For this Touchstone:
1. The focus is on one of the research questions listed in the lesson.
2. The research question for civil rights would be the following:
What lessons can we learn from African American history? Considering past struggles from Reconstruction to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s for African American civil rights, what lessons can we learn about the best strategies for engaging civil rights now and in the future?
3. One of the goals is to use both primary and secondary sources. There is a list of primary and secondary sources in 2a.
The aim of this assignment is to create a historical perspective in order to provide a context and grounding for events today. If how young people could be involved with the movement is of interest, then this strategy could be researched as one piece of the broader historical research questions.
Please also note the difference between primary and secondary research. Additional resources could be found using the keywords, but the primary sources are from first-hand accounts and may require more effort to find.
Before resubmitting, please review the touchstone instructions, rubric, sample touchstone, and requirements. If you have any questions on this information, please email the Sophia Learning Coaches at
[email protected].
Thank you, Jo Bennett

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Resolution 19.16 Establishing the “Know Your Rights” Campaign for Student Protesting.pdf
- 1. THE UNIVERSITY PARK UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION The Pennsylvania State University 16th Assembly 2021 - 2022 Session Resolution #19-16 December 8th , 2021 Be it decided by the Assembly of Student Representatives, having been brought to the floor by the Committee of Justice and Equity, RESOLUTION Establishing the “Know Your Rights” Campaign for Student Protesting Nature of the Situation: 1 2 The previous year has consisted of a period of social unrest within the United States, which can 3 be attributed to systemic racism that includes countless instances of police. Now, more than ever, 4 Americans have been exercising their right to protest for the values that they believe in and in 5 repudiation of the perceived status quo—which has been interpreted as a lack of action in relation 6 to various social justice causes. In a survey orchestrated by the Pew Research Center, it is stated 7 that, “a majority of Americans (55%) see protests and rallies as a very or somewhat effective tactic 8 for groups and organizations that work to help black people achieve equality.”1 9 10 While greater understanding of the First Amendment has been growing, there are still deficits in 11 certain areas of comprehension to the specific rights that are guaranteed. According to the 12 Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, 34% of Americans named 13 the right of assembly as a right protected by the First Amendment, up from 10% from 2017.2 14 Even with the gradual rise of awareness, the low percentage still showcases the general need to 15 continue to close gaps of information that remain relevant to the lives of students at the 16 University. In an effort to increase awareness about the rights given to citizens, the American 17 Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has organized a “Know Your Rights” section of their website 18 where they apply the law into real life scenarios that make it easy for readers to understand.3 One 19 of the areas that they highlight is “Protester’s Rights,” including what to do while organizing and 20 attending a protest, taking pictures and videos during protests, and how to act in a situation of 21 being stopped by police while protesting. 22 23 1 https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2020/06/12/amid-protests-majorities-across-racial-and-ethnic-groups-express-support-for-the black-lives-matter-movement/ 2 https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/amid-pandemic-and-protests-civics-survey-finds-americans-know-more-their rights 3 https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights/
- 2. In the First Amendment, the facet of freedom of assembly is guaranteed as a right. American 24 citizens are within their right, per the Constitution, to assemble for the purpose of peacefully 25 protesting the actions of their government. Propagation of this right is essential to understand for 26 current and future civic engagement in the lives of students at the University. 27 28 In the 15th Assembly, the Committee on Justice and Equity hosted a Know Your Rights while 29 Protesting Webinar with various speakers to educate students on their rights and protections during 30 a protest. 31 32 Recommended Course of Action: 33 34 The University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA), on behalf of the Penn State 35 undergraduate student body at University Park, will host the “Know Your Rights While 36 Protesting” panel on January 18th, 2022. The purpose is to educate and inform students on their 37 rights while protesting in the State College area. This event also aims to instill the information for 38 their futures after graduation, in any relevant capacity. The events will be facilitated by UPUA 39 representatives alongside several guest speakers. The conversations will highlight ACLU’s “Know 40 Your Rights: Protesting Rights” guide and will be followed by a synthesis of the material and 41 general question and answer sessions. 42 43 The Department of Public Relations is hereby charged with disseminating this information and a 44 social media campaign through all appropriate channels, while further collaborating with the 45 Justice and Equity Committee involving the creation of graphics related to the advocacy of this 46 event. 47 48 49 Special Acknowledgement to Grace Kelly- First-Year Council Member, Ava Phillips- First-Year 50 Council Member, Elijah Neal - Social Justice Coordinator, Muggs Leone - Sexual Identity 51 Coordinator 52
