THE 1ST AMENDMENT AND OUR RIGHTS

The 1st Amendment and our Rights
Freedom of Speech, freedom of expression, both oral and written, from governmental prior
restraint, except as such expression constitutes libel, slander, obscenity, sedition, or
criminal conduct such as bribery, perjury, or incitement to riot. In the U.S., this
freedom is protected by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. At the core of 1st
Amendment concerns is the protection of expression that is critical of government
policies.
Also, if the people of the government think censoring American sites from having vulgar
material on them, what happens when this child goes to a site that either has a nice
sounding name that they don't think to block because it does not sound incriminating. If
people don't want their children to be on obscene sites then they could put a block on
that site at their own computers and make it for that child's screen name instead of the
entire Internet. If there are people old enough to visit these sites they should not be
blocked from everyone. But it may also be a good thing for them to censor the Internet
for reasons of there are some pretty nasty ones out there and they may not have any
incriminating content on them, but they are pointless and destructive to other peoples
computers. There are some sites that have viruses on them and other people enter not
knowing and that should definitely come to an end. Although these sites are dumb, the
more you destroy the more sites just like it are made.
The porno sites and other adult content sites should not be blocked. I say this because
if they are going to look for it there is no way you can hide it from the children that
have access to the Internet. Also there is no way of proving how old you really are on a
computer, so there is no way a child can be caught on the site he/she is not supposed to
be on. 
If Congress starts to limit the ability of the Internet it would be against everything
that it was made for, and at the same time those people probably also use the Internet
for those purposes and are just agreeing with the higher people on the latter so they
don't have to argue over the subject.
In this time of life, there is practically no way to censor the Internet from all sites
said to be bad or not appropriate for all eyes to see and yet there are more sites being
made with that same content as we speak. 
In conclusion it is alright to have sites with adult content and stuff not suitable for
youngsters because the world does not revolve around them and it is not illegal to have
nude pictures of people on the Internet. The underage people should just get a block for
the server they use and that should be the end because it does violate our 1st Amendment
and you can have all of these things on your site because nobody can stop the people that
make the pages and they will never be able to so it should just be dropped.
Bibliography
1. No I do not agree that this site has easy to find menus or that the design is good.
Reason being, the icons are scattered all over the place and the page is fitted into a
space that is too small for it.
2. Yes I do agree that this site is easy to use. Reason being, the icons were both on the
screen and listed at the top, so it is easy for most people to use. The primary purpose
for this site is for information on Tom Petty and his band. I think this because that is
what I got out of the page and it has information on his tour and all the stuff on his
band.
3. Yes I do agree. The thing I would do to improve this site is make the font larger and
make categories instead of having stuff cluttered on the page.
4. The way I would deal with the window shoppers is I would show a picture of the item
from all angles and then I would put the price next to it like E-Bay sells.
It all depends on the assignment to know whether or not to let your personal feelings get
in the way of the project.
