Coach Carter

Coach Carter, an MTV film starring Samuel L. Jackson, Rob Brown and Channing Tatum is based on a true story about Coach Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) and the Richmond High basketball team. Coach Ken Carter takes over the head basketball coaching position at a small, no named school called Richmond High. At Richmond, statistics proved that you were more likely to go to prison then go to college. From day one he took the coaching job under his rules. He made the players sign a contract saying that each player must attend class everyday and sit in the front row of those classes, they also must where suit and tie on game day and be fifteen minutes early to each practice. He believed that each player must maintain good grades and become a united team if they wanted to excel and be the best. Players immediately bought into his coaching style helping them get off to an undefeated season with only a couple games left. Carter then recieved the grades of the players after a tournament they had just won, and when he found out that most of the team had unsatisfactory, below average grades, he immediately proceeded to close down the gymnasium. They forfeited one of the games due to the low grades of the players, causing national attention throughout the community. The whole community was behind this team and didn't believe the team needed to forfeit the games due to grades. Coach Carter recieved some praise but a lot more criticism for his decision. This is a very inspirational movie similar to those such as Remember the Titans, Glory Road, and Blind Side. Coach Carter made it his job for his players not only to excel on the basketball court but also to excel in life. A MUST SEE!!

Less Privacy Is Good for Us (and You)

In Less Privacy Is Good for Us (and You), Amitai Etzioni, agrees that every person needs some sort of privacy in there lives. Privacy is an issue that many people have differences of opinions about. Etzioni believes that the doors to some private issues should be opened publicly. He thinks in the long run it will make our society better and stronger. Issues like public health and safety entail some rather justifiable dimunition of privacy. His example of HIV testing of infants is a great example of this. Many mothers are unaware they have the deadly HIV virus and since they are unaware, it is ultimately transferred and shared with the newborn baby. This is where the issue of privacy comes into play. Some women want to keep issues like this to themselves and in no way want to be told they have HIV. They can prevent there babies from keeping the HIV virus under two circumstances. The disease can be shaken from the baby if the mothers do not breast feed and are given AZT immediately. The most important factor to this is the agreement by women to be tested first.
Etzioni believes privacy should rely squarely on the Fourth Amendment. I don't necessary believe that he thinks privacy comes second. I believe he thinks that there are some issues that should remain private but there are also some issues that are private that should go public therefore benefiting not just ourselves but others as well. I agree with his statements more than i disagree.
