 * After reading "The Book" by Goldstein, you should have a better understanding of the techniques Big Brother uses to not only take control, but maintain absolute control. Now while Orwell's warning of a totalitarian state may seem far fetched, there are many people in our country who are careful to allow government too much control. No document has drawn as much criticism as the United States Patriot Act which was enacted after 9/11. Learn about the Patriot Act and the criticisms of this act. For your post, identify one area of either public or private life that could be affected by this Act. Also, feel free to defend the Patriot Act, or find other examples beyond the links I added to get you started.**


 * Just added tonight: Many argue the relevance of a Big Brother society. Can you identify a country TODAY who lives under an oppressive government who suppresses freedoms....think, think, think....there are some REALLY great examples!**
