Less Privacy is Good for Us (and You)

Etzioni talks about how he thinks privacy issues and how they are written into the amendments. Etzioni believes that the amendments should be changed. Etzioni thinks that the first amendment does not explain privacy the way it should and the fourth amendment explains privacy better. He also believes that privacy should be incorporated into the fourth amendment and taken out of the first. Etzioni always believes that less privacy is better in a sense.

I believe that privacy is a privilege not a given right. If someone does something that makes the government or other law enforcement bodies not trust them then it is the right of that institution to take away their privacy. If someone decides to call in threats to people or sell drugs illegally the government is going to tap into their phone lines and other things to try to stop them. All criminal and police records are public records and they should be that way, so people know what crimes the people around them have commented. If a person has done nothing wrong, I believe they have an absolute right to privacy unless something suspicious is going on.

Untold Stories

Immokalee is a community that was made up of mostly farmers and Indians. I feel that Immokalee represents both the new and old American Dream. It represents the new American, because many different types of people live in the area not just white Americans. Immokalee definitely represents the old American Dream more than the new American Dream, since there are many families that made their homes there and use the land as a resource. A lot of families have farms to support themselves. They try to live a simple life there.

Immokalee is different from Fort Myers and Estero since it is mostly farmland. There are not that many rural communities in Fort Myers and Estero, but there seems to be a lot in Immokalee. There are also many Indian reservation in Immokalee.


Farming and gambling are going to drive Immokalee's future. Farming will make the individuals in the community prosper. The Seminole Indian Casino is also in Immokalee, which will bring a lot of money into the community. I do not think that Immokalee is going to change very much in ten years, since it has not changed very much at all. There is still a lot of farmland and the city is not developed all that much.
