This Year in humanities I have done lots of things such as Triple A's to my work log for my documentary. The next three items are my top three project that I am most proud of this semester.

Rand Paul the author of this article said, “Unfortunately, the Obama administration is not upholding nor abiding by the Constitution -- in fact, this administration is going to great lengths to continually violate it.” (3-5). I believe this is what I think Rand Paul the author thesis statement is.
One piece of evidence I have to back this up is the statement that Rand Paul made which is, “Its most recent transgression involves the use of domestic drones. These small drones are to be used as a crime fighting tool for law enforcement officials. But is unwarranted and constant surveillance by an aerial eye of Big Government the answer” (6-9). As a government we are disrespecting the fourth amendment. Rand then states, “In a memorandum Issued by President Barack Obama’s secretary of the Air Force, the stated purpose of these drones is “balancing … obtaining intelligence information … and protecting individual rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution” (10-12). This shows that what the government is doing with drones is horrifying.
Another example is when Rand Paul siad, “When I have friends over for a barbecue, the government drone is not on the invitation list. I do not want a drone where I got, what I do and for how long I do whatever it is that i'm going. I do not want a nanny state watching over my every move” (20-22). This frightens me because if what he is saying is true then we wouldn't have any privacy what so ever which is disrespecting the fourth amendment. I would not want a drone following my every step just because the government thinks i'm a criminal.
In Conclusion, I agree with what Rand Paul is saying throughout this article because it is not right for what the government is doing with drones. Even though Rand Paul is a biased person he has many great points on his argument. I agree with Rand Paul and all that he is saying. we really do need to be aware of what is going on in america.

The Author Diane Sori started her article by stating, “A search will be constitutionally unreasonable when the government can’t prove the search was necessary”. (1-1) I believe this is the thesis Statement because it show they are violating the 4TH amendment.
My first statement I have to back this up is, “Edward Snowden, the much heralded NSA leaker, was one of thousands of personal data collected through monitoring our personal phone calls and internet usage”. (2-5) This shows that the author was showing what obama can do with what data they have collected. This worries me because in our everyday lives we are being tracked, searched, and recorded which is a clear violation of our 4th amendment.
My second statement that the author said was, “The Fourth Amendment protect citizens from unreasonable search and seizure, yet the Obama government is listening in on...spying on...half the country which was NOT the intention of the police”. (14-16) What the author stated in this article clearly supported the evidence that we are having our 4TH amendment right violated.
My final statement that I have is when the author said,”We the people NOT to weed out potential acts of terrorism as they claim, but to ‘tag’ those of us who oppose this miserable excuse of a president and his equally miserable administration. (60-62) What the author is saying is that the only reason that the government is doing this is to track terrorist before terrorism happens.
While reading this text I felt the author was very biased and one sided. It felt like she had her mind set on one opinion and that she wanted to let people know that he is breaking our 4th amendment without reasonable cause.

Strengths
The strength that james and I have is negotiation and That is going to help us a lot in the future because when you need something well thought or quick it easy to do when both of you agree and think alike about the topic. Not only thinking alike is helping us, it is also how we approach and negotiate with each other which is a good skill to have when your talk to people in your life.
One weakness that james and I have is setting goals and following them. Its not so much the goal setting, I mean we have lots of them, We just have trouble following them up and achieving them. This is a something I need to get over because if I just Set goals and Never achieve them I just going to be stuck with lots of work and no time to finish them.

If you could change the way your partner works what would you change? What were your struggles? How did u overcome them?
What I would change about James work behavior would be that he could change his sense of urgency better like in the beginning of this project he didn't have a stressing moment and I think that is because he was not editing the movie and at the beginning of the project we didn't really get that far but after spring break I feel like he had a better understanding on how fast the time goes when you're editing and that's when we started to soar in our documentary
