Hw#2 Obama Abortion

When it comes to the issue of abortion Sen. Barack Obama has a pro-choice stance.He believes that a woman should have the right to decide if she wants to have an abortion or not. However, he believes that late term abortion should be banned due to the fact that it puts the mother's life in danger.Sen. Obama believes that congress can find a way to satisfy those who are pro-life and those who are pro-choice.In addition,Sen. Obama has made it clear opinion on when life begins.Also,he believes the way to limit the dispute over this issue is increase awareness of safe sex.I understand the opinion of someone who is pro-choice but I believe its still immoral for a human to decided wheter another should live.

Hw #1-McCain Abortion

John McCain view on abortion is, it should be banned in all states.However, he believes that it should be allowed in the case of rape, incest,and saving the life of the mother. This view is not based on his christian belief because he is for stem cell research but he credits good moral for his choice to be pro-life.I agree with the choice to ban abortion but if McCain plans on allowing abortion in some cases, wouldn't mothers that don't want to birth a child just lie and say they were raped in order to have an abortion? This plan to allow abortions for rape victims or victims of incest may just back fire because mothers that want abortions may just lie about being raped and may put the blame on any innocent man just so they can get an abortion.He should just ban abortion and create programs for mothers to birth their child and give it away for adoption with no questions asked.

HW2 - McCain's Stand on Technology

Amazingly enough, it would seem that McCain and Obama relatively see eye to eye when it comes to technology in the United States. Both campaigns have almost the same exact wording, with the exception of McCain's feelings towards net-neutrality, which he finds to be too prescriptive. On this topic, I would find myself able to side with either candidate as their viewpoints are nearly identical.

HW1 - Obama's Stand on Techonology

In the 21st century, advances in information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology and other fields are reshaping the global economy. Sadly, America has fallen from its position as world leader in technology over the years. Obama has therefore developed a plan in order guarantee that the United States will be able to keep up in the ever changing global economy. This plan includes, but is not limited to:

- The ability to ensure the full and free exchange of ideas through an open internet and diverse media outlets by encouraging diversity in media ownership and network neutrality while keeping personal privacy safe.
- Creating a transparent and connected democracy by using today's innovations to give citizens a better handle on government decisions.
- Providing broadband Internet access to all American citizens.
- Improving America's competitiveness by investing in stronger math and science educations for our youth and promoting stronger enforcement of copyright and trademark laws overseas.

Due to my interest in a technological field of work (graphic design/game design), I completely agree with the measures Obama plans to put in place. They will ensure that my ideas for new games will not go unheard, and as I develop my own name, protect my work through new copyright and trademark laws.
