What I learned in unit 2
Mood:  lazy
This unit was very interesting to me in the sense that I really was not aware of how many legal battles there are involving the First amendment. The People vs. Larry Flint had some really great reading material on how people are disgusted with the ruling of the case, the way the movie made the real Larry Flint look was totally inaccurate, the real meanings hidden in Hustler magazine. I was very interested in what was being said by just regular people and how upset some people got. Also I enjoyed the library essays, the CDA never seems to stop fighting for the filtering of the internet in a public library. It really surprised me though as to my personal reaction with the material. I reasoned that I would be against any type of porn being where little kids would be able to view it, it doesn't seem fair for parents to have to be the ones to tell their 4 year old what the pictures on the internet really are. But to my surprise, after reading more on the First Amendment I change my mind in the sense that I think it is wrong to block material( most of the time you have to pay for it anyway) that may be usefull to another person, be it for a report or other uses, a person should be able to view any kind of information they want to on the internet. I found I liked this unit better than unit 1 and look forward to reading more on the Constitution and of the rights I posses as a citizen.
