Privacy Background #2

US Constitution

There is no place in our Constitution that says or mentions the word Privacy. However, don't forget that the Courts in our country are supposed to take the older words in the Constitution and apply them to modern day situations.
Imagine you are a Supreme Court justice who is concerned about protecting the Privacy of modern citizens. Examine the amendments of the constitution and on a sheet of paper, list the wording of the amendment, and why you think this applies to Privacy. The last thing you are to do, is to write your own amendment that actually protects privacy. Make sure your wording is explicit, yet broad enough to be able to change with time, and technology!

Privacy #1

1. You and a partner will create a poster with your collaboratively defined explanation of what Privacy is. The word Privacy will be in the center of the page, and words, pictures, and sayings will surround it.
2. On a 2nd sheet of paper, and using the internet for a guide, explain how privacy affects your lives. Use the same instructions as above in #1.
3. Create a survey of 10 questions in which the recipients would answer questions about privacy in their lives and how it affects them. You can use a scale of 1-5, or 1-10, with the low number being not at all, and the high number being extremely.
