Your research paper will be a detailed examination of one issue related to the First Amendment–freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom to petition the government (ie protest).

I chose the problem between freedom of the press and Privacy.

I chose this theme because I can always see the scandals of many celebrities on social media and news. The exposure of personal privacy will undoubtedly have a great impact on them, even if what he does may be insignificant. The media likes to report on the personal lives of celebrities because they can bring a large number of readers. If they choose an obscure person and then expose his private life, it sounds shameless. We have the right to freedom of the press, so that things that need attention can be spread, such as when something unfair to people happens.

Freedom of the press has a problem with personal privacy. The media likes to report star scandals, because a large number of people like to watch these, and they don’t care about the impact on others.

But we also need press freedom to prevent the government from abusing power.

The First Amendment limits what the government can do.Does freedom of press give people’s right to violate other’s privacy?

What can be privacy?

How did the freedom of press protect people’s rights?

Should people’s privacy be exposed to the public?

How much privacy was exposed?

Did people like to know other’s privacy? If they do, did they allow people to expose their own privacy?

What are the cases where the media is brought to court in order to protect people’s privacy？

The central idea is, is the privacy of some people exposed by freedom of the press? Because in other countries where there is no press freedom, personal privacy was also be exposed. Then in the United States, is anyone using the Press Freedom Act to expose the privacy of others. Probably just to find some information to prove that the violation of personal privacy may not be caused by press freedom alone,it could be market demand. Of course, some may be related to this bill, but this bill is not the key to privacy.

Required Length: 1500 words (5 page minimum) + Works Cited

At least 5 strong and credible sources must be used. Because of the unique conditions this semester, I am not requiring the use of a book or database. You may use all internet-based sources, but evaluate your sources for credibility. If relevant, one source may be in a language other than English. One may be a video source. If you use Wikipedia, it doesn’t count as one of your 5 sources. Articles assigned in class may be used, but do not count as one of your 5 sources. All the sources you include in your essay must be included in your Works Cited.

Your essay must have a thesis that takes a position on your topic. In other words, your essay must be making an argument, not simply discussing pros and cons. You can and should include pros and cons, but you must shape it to support your own point of view.

The best way to find a thesis is to start with an overall question about your topic, and then clearly answer that question. Eg: Does the First Amendment protect a student’s right to choose how to wear their hair?

The answer to that might be complicated, but it’s not: There are many opinions about whether hairstyles are protected by the First Amendment. That is not a strong-enough thesis.

The answer might be: Although there are exceptions and limitations, a student’s hair style and length is covered by the First Amendment protection of free speech.

Or: While hairstyles may be important to individuals, students do not have a legal right under the First Amendment to wear their hair in unusual or extreme styles.

Or: Although the courts have not made a clear determination, it is obvious that the right to your own hairstyles should be considered a right of all people under the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
