Week nine consisted of use finishing our essays for the character from our book and their " This I believe essays". After which we learned about signing statements and the power they have on government documents. We were given two different viewpoints on the matter to read from and give our opinion on the subject. One was more pro presidential signing statements. The other was leaning the opposite direction; it was more against signing statements. The last thing we did this week was we were given books surrounding the idea of utopias and dystopias. This subject is interesting because the books all highlight the common theme about how one like minded idea for government, and to much of that can easily change what was intended as a utopia into a dystopia. The books we were given went about showing this in different ways. One was about to big of government, one was about religion leading government, another was science and technology leading government, and finally one was about to little of government and how our own desires leading government can be a bad thing. I choose the book called " A Brave New World" which was about science leading technology. It was the one that interested me because I have always thought of our society needing more science and tech leading our future. So I would like to see how to much of it could lead to a dystopia.
