2. Is the U.S. Constitution out of Date? The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are more commonly known as the “Bill of Rights” and were ratified by Congress in 1791. The Bill of Rights, and the U.S. Constitution have survived for nearly 225 years of history. However, the founding fathers never imagined a technological world marked by amazing global communication through computers and the Internet at the current scale, nor a lifestyle that often hinges on personal telephone usage, texting, gaming, and access to online and social media sites.

3. Torture and the U.S. Government. Search the Internet on the subject of “torture by the U.S. government” and read the accounts of such activity by members of the CIA and the military over the last decade. Now, search the Internet under Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International to gain a different perspective. Do you think that torture should be used to illicit information from suspects? How reliable is information obtained from torture? Are you willing to allow torture of some suspects in order to potentially prevent another terrorist attack on the homeland on the scale of 9/11?

Read about the use of the National Guard on the border, the building of a wall to keep America safe from illegal entry, issues involving Mexican cartels, transnational gangs, illegal entry, and public health threats on the Texas-Mexico Border. Choose one of these topics and develop a plan to diminish the threat posed by one of these issues. Do you think we can totally secure our border with Mexico? Do you think we should use the military to patrol the border? Should we build a wall? What will be the impact of a secure border to the social and economic systems of both Mexico and the United States? How will securing the borders of the United States impact the terrorist threat?
