Answering Questions

Today I started to answer some of my foundation questions. I looked up some of the websites from my webliography to get notes from them and also that might be close to answering some of the questions. Answering some of the questions would not be as difficult as others therefore i would focus first one the ones that seem to be harder to answer then i would look up for the easy ones.

Action Plan Presentation

Few days ago my classmates and i presented to everyone what our topic is and what our action plan was. Many of the other students topic were interesting. Presenting our topic was a good thing. it helped me to see and understand more what other people are doing and what i need to get done. It also gave some ideas for instance part of my action plan was interviewing a professor from University Of Pittsburgh and then one of the students advice that maybe interviewing a police officer would be helpful too since my project has to do with police racial profiling. We have also already turned in our writing proposal.

4TH Amendement

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

The 4th amendement explains that no officers are allowed to search anyones property unless they have a warrant that has been approved by court and that the court know what is it that they are looking for. This amendement relates alot to racial profiling because many people officers disobey this amendement and pullin over someone and searching them for no reason is the same thing as searching someones home with no warrant.

Getting ready for Proposal...

Today i started writing the importance of my project and what it actually is and means. I also explained the reason why iam working on this topic and i gave out 2 examples first i mentioned that it related to my career interest of Immigration Law. Second, having to do with family problems who have in the past deal with issues like this. Iam gooing to keep writing so that i can include what i want to get out from this or what i want to accomplish.

Piled up

Today we went over the proposal prewriting questionnaire and talked about the purpose and objectives for our project. What i started doing is getting my ideas together to answer What my project is and why am i doing it. To answer them i still need to break it down on the Why am i doing it part. For this part i believe there are many positive reasons. In order for me to get my ideas together and answer this question i have to compare them and see which one is best. However, i need to start thinking much more because my work would start to pile up.
