This is my fourth semester attending Lamar Institute of Technology. The thing that seemed to be most difficult was that most students are not offered outside opinions on teachers and the classes offered.

One ethnic group in which I and my family belong to is Norwegian. According to my father I am 50 percent Norwegian and this is very interesting to me. I did not even know this until I asked him about it so I could write this paper. I found a lot of interesting information about Norwegians and how they came to America.

There are many different types of animals that work for us. There are three types of service animals that help the disabled. Guide animals assist the blind, hearing animals signal the deaf, and there are many other animals that help persons with other disabilities. Another way that animals work for us is by providing emotional support to those with mental health issues. These animals are usually prescribed by a doctor and they are called emotional support animals. One last way that we can see an animal working is in the military. There are many military working dogs that serve to protect us just as a

For this week’s discussion board question I decide to go out and try to find details about a person and see if I could get them to let me use their phone. I thought that this would be a challenge and people would be very unlikely to trust a stranger who they didn’t know and expected to be rejected multiple times. I also thought this would be difficult for me because I am a very introverted person and don’t feel comfortable talking to people if I don’t know them. Amazingly, it was very easy to do and on my first try I was able to get someone to let me use their phone.

In regards to my current life stage, I am a young adult and almost all of my financial income is paid in wage from my occupation as a lifeguard. As I am not a parent of any kids, my financial expenses consist of paying for food, clothing, transportation, and school fees. Therefore, most of my expenses are centered around myself and focuses on future career plans to eventually increase my income as I will be able to attain a profession after acquiring a college education. Presently, I have not surrounded myself with assets because I have not acquired my college degree or decided upon a profession; as a result, I would not be able to search for appropriate assets.

My fourth grade class has participated in a service-learning project for the past eight years. Before the Christmas season, we read several books about giving, including a children’s version of “The Gift of the Magi”. Then we discuss how the money that parents send for the students’ Christmas five dollar gift exchange could be used for something else. The children vote whether or not they want to keep the normal gift exchange or donate the money to another cause (every year the students have chosen to donate their gift money to others). Then the students brainstorm organizations or ideas for the money. After the list is narrowed down to five ideas, the children are broken into groups and given one of the organizations to research, and then they write a persuasive report to present to the class. After the students have heard the persuasive reports, a final vote is taken to choose the organization. Next, the students are responsible for writing a letter home to their parents explaining why they have chosen to donate their gift exchange money to the charity or organization. We have sent care packages to overseas soldiers, bought goodie bags for nursing home patients, and sent money to Heifer

2. Another advantage of using this method requires a calculation of one cost and to use this cost for all calculations, thus making paperwork easier. The need for detailed records for each purchase is unnecessary; businesses would maintain records for totals only. Weighted average is good for companies with commoditized items such as computers, auto parts, oil, or even air transportation services.

In Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a group of statistical sample used to resolve the differences between group means and their connected steps like variation between groups. The observed variance in a specific variable is divide into components attributable to various fountain of variation.

The issue of whether cell phone searches are covered by the fourth amendment and subjected to warrant has long been a debate in the judiciary system. Looking deeply into cases regarding this issue, several court have upheld the searches to be legitimate and therefore found it liable under the amendment. This justification can be traced to a clause, which is a section of the clause of the Fourth Amendment. That is “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures”. Furthermore, there has been past cases that has successfully been decided by the court judges to be a warrantless search. This type of case can be seen with the “Bond versus United states” in 2010.

On the contrary, due to the fact that the 4th Amendment does not properly state that we have privacy on our devices, major issues have unfolded during many court cases. Specifically, in the United States v. Graham case, Aaron Graham and Eric Jordan committed a string of robberies. They were caught and now investigators are searching through their phone data, gathering information on who they’ve contacted and the places they’ve been in the last few weeks (Wang and Shwartz, Lawfare). The investigators, however, did not have a warrant allowing then to search the cellphones of the two individuals.

This is not an easy task because, as shown by the case with the NSA, the necessity, constitutionality, and consequences of new policies are not always obvious. Inevitably, new developments in the world, especially technological, are constantly changing the way people interpret laws and privacy. In the 2014 Supreme Court case Riley v. California, gang member David Riley had his cell phone searched by police without a warrant after his arrest for the illegal possession of firearms. The Court unanimously decided that the information found on Riley’s phone could not have harmed the officers, and therefore, should not have been seized. Chief Justice John Roberts said that cell phones “are not just another technological convenience,” explaining that “the information [is not] any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought.” Cell phones have quickly become embedded in everyday life, and smartphones have access to personal email, messages, and more recently, bank accounts or one’s home. As a result, cell phone privacy must be protected in the same fashion as a PIN number or house keys. Citizens should not have to worry about the government seizing private information from a cell phone, and this assurance is the major problem with government policy
