Power of The Supreme Court


What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know?

Reading

- I was not aware that William Howard Taft served as both Supreme Court justice and President.

- I was aware that prayer wasn't allowed to be initiated in public schools, but I was unaware that it was because of a Supreme Court ruling.

Video

- I didn't know that they receive over 100 case requests a day.

- I thought that it was really cool to hear that they all shook hands every time they enter the room.

What is the most important takeaway point about the Supreme Court?

- The Supreme Court has been a crucial part of the development of the US. Ruling by ruling helps the people further protect their civil rights.

What was the most surprising thing you learned?

- I was really surprised when I was reading over some of the cases that I recognized so many. The biggest surprise to me was Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe. I was not aware that this was a Supreme Court case and that this was a big debate at my high school. We often found ways to work around it. I always thought this was just a small rule put on by the school district but I now know that this is a Supreme Court ruling.

How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court?

- The video helped me have a more positive outlook on the Supreme Court. Hearing from people that served on the court really helped me remember that these people are still human but they still carry a big responsibility. I will say that this video was very one-sided in support of the Supreme Court. I didn't hear very many opposing comments in the video. I feel like the video would have been better if they shared more information about the mistakes/wrong rulings that the Supreme Court had made in the past and what they had learned from the.

  The Age Of AI The Impact of AI On Our Society https://research.uga.edu/presidential-interdisciplinary-seed-grant/wp-content/uploads/sites/93/2022/01/AI.png Based on The Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dZ_lvDgevk      I think that AI is really cool and that there are a lot of cool things that are going to come from it but currently, AI is on a path that is leading it into a dark age. I don't like the idea of AI tracking our faces and everywhere we go. I know that we have face-recognizing technology because I use it every day to unlock my phone but this video gave me the idea that they could be using that technology in places. In class, we also talked about how AI can mimic voices and that makes things really scary. What is really dangerous is if AI makes its way into the courtroom. Because of the skills of AI, you could discredit and video or sound evidence that you have against a person and that really scares me. Movies are always being created around...

 The Rise of The iPod Touch A Look At iPod Touches Through The Lense Of Diffusion Theory https://www.idemigods.com/v/vspfiles/photos/2G_FLLNT-2.jpg?v-cache=1645793973 What Is Diffusion Theory? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations Diffusion of innovations is a theory popularized by Everett Rogers, a communications professor, in order to explain how, why, and at what rate new technology is spread. According to Rodgers, there are five main elements that influence the spread of ideas; innovation, adopters, communication channels, time, and social system. Adopters can be further put into the categories of innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. What Was The iPod Touch? The iPod touch was introduced in 2007 and the last generation was released on May 28, 2019. I can remember when I got my first iPod Touch like it was yesterday. My parents got me one for Christmas and they tried to have me open the iPod and then the case and some add ons ...
