SLO# 1 Civil Liberties v Civil Rights
Civil liberties and civil rights are mechanical components that have tremendous influence on the way we live our life.  Each category can be applied in different situations, to identify different experiences for each individual.  People in the USA are beginning to question whether democracy is worth fighting for as more instances are identified in which human beings find themselves ‘above the law’ (e.g. government officials, bureaucrats and civil servants violate laws that otherwise ‘ordinary citizens’ would quickly be found guilty, and be forced to pay fines and/or be confined and incarcerated).  Visit the links below, then respond to the ensuing situations [*do your best to overlook authors’ personal opinions and rather consider the issues identified; also, consider the possibility that these situations maybe taking place in any/all of the 50 states across the USA*].

  1. Define Civil Liberties; then define Civil Rights.  How are they similar?  How do they differ?  Which civil sequence has more influence on your life as you know it to be now?  Why do you believe this to be so?
  2. Where do the courts weigh in?  Search the Supreme Court database:
https://www.supremecourt.gov
then identify one case for each situation (i.e. Civil Liberties case; then a Civil Rights case).  Which situation would have more influence on the quality of life in the states?  Which part of the USA would register a deeper impact of judicial decision(s) reached in the case identified (i.e. in relation to making the most of your life experiences)?
