Today in class, please begin the following webquest with your partner. You likely will not finish during the period, so please do so for homework. You should each turn in your own copy of the answers, but you can work together for the duration of the period (e.g., print out two copies of a Word document). Your completed work is due in class on Tuesday, November 21st.
In the early pages of The Crucible, Arthur Miller writes:
“From time to time during the 1980s, Americans awoke to headlines announcing that another day care center had been discovered to house a coven of child-abusing conspirators. The resulting court trials showcased often bizarre dramas of small children describing unthinkable acts of sexual abuse. What was especially alarming was that the alleged abusers looked like wholesome loving people, like us.”
Are there limits to what people should and should not be able to say on university campuses? In McCarthyism and in The Crucible we see the dangers people can get into for speaking their minds. Do those cautionary tales still apply?
In a post-Columbine world, school administrations have to walk the delicate balance between the safety of their students and staff, and infringing on the rights of the people they are charged with protecting. Are their decisions justified? Like on a national level, how do we balance questions freedom and privacy with those of security?
Is it ever acceptable to violate the rights of the individual in the name of safety for the masses? Does the “war against terror” change the rules of the game? Or has the detention of terrorist suspects at Guantánamo Bay become a modern witch hunt?
Some feel that in the “war against terror” our government has gone too far in trading the freedoms of its citizens for increased security. Do the Patriot Act and related measures cross the line?
