3. Define civil liberties.

4. What source did you use for the above?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/civil+liberties?s=t
5. When do you feel civil liberties are infringed upon? Can you give another example of "fringing" on your civil liberties?
I think stripping people in an airport is very infringed. I wouldn't want to be stripped in front of everyone. Another example is not having stall doors in a shower in a locker room. Other people getting a shower can see you naked. I would not want to see other people naked in a shower or have other people see me naked in a shower.
Paste a picture to add to your answer.

Blog 5:9/11 Remembering
I was only 1 year old when the hijacking took place, and the planes crashed into the Twin Towers. I feel as if I was old enough to understand, then I would have realized how lucky I was to not have any family members or loved ones in on the crash. I would have cried and felt great sympathy for the death of all the innocent passengers and workers in with the crash. To see all the people screaming and the planes hitting would break my heart. To see the pictures above almost makes me tear up. To see the people in pain, to see the memorial of the most beautiful buildings, to see all the flags, just hurts inside. Imagine what its like to have someone you cared about in this devasting crash. We now know that the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. I don't understand why someone would want to hurt so many people, for no reason. It scares me. I can't believe someone would want to kill so many innocent people. Its crazy what people can do. I sure hope no one ever does anything like this ever again. All I know is none of the hijackers deserve forgiveness or anything good ever in there lives. Killing so many people makes me sick. They had very cold hearts if they could do something like this and not feel guilty, but be completely okay with it and be happy. I will always remember September 11, 2001. We need to start realizing and appreciating all the things we have in life, because you never know when something could change everything, and change this world forever. </3 Always Remember 9/11!

Banned Book
Banned Book- A banned book is one that has been removed from the shelves of a library, bookstore, or classroom because of its controversial content. In some cases, banned books of the past have been burned and/or refused publication. Possession of banned books has at times been regarded as an act of treason or heresy, which was punishable by death, torture, prison time, or other acts of retribution.
A book may be challenged or banned on political, religious, sexual, or social grounds. We take the acts of banning or challenging a book as a serious matter, because these are forms of censorship--striking at the very core of our freedom to read.

Blog 4:Censorship
Censorship
Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body. It can be done by governments and private organizations or by individuals who engage in self-censorship. It occurs in a variety of different contexts including speech, books, music, films and other arts, the press, radio, television, and the Internet for a variety of reasons including national security, to control obscenity, child pornography, and hate speech, to protect children, to promote or restrict political or religious views, to prevent slander and libel, and to protect intellectual property. It may or may not be legal. Many countries provide strong protections against censorship by law, but none of these protections are absolute and it is frequently necessary to balance conflicting rights in order to determine what can and cannot be censored.
