Today, we watched a video on Youtube about Civics 101. It was about 40 minutes, and I shared it in a previous post. It was concise and to the point which I like especially for High School. After watching it, and some discussion, I had Caitlin write out the 10 Amendments that make up the Bill of Rights. Next Monday we will focus on the First Amendment. All of my posts may contain affiliate links.
The First Amendment affords us a lot of rights. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom to petition. But what do all of these mean, and how do they play into society? That is what we will be focusing on next week. There is a short video below, and then a book you might also be interested in. This blog is not about right or left, secular or religious. It is about information, facts and yes even opinions. Which brings me to the image I shared. That is actually a painting I did. I am a Christian, so painting Santa Claus saying Happy Holidays can be a very hot topic of conversation, and free speech, plus the freedom of religion. Caitlin will have to pick one of the rights covered in the First Amendment and make an argument for it, or against it, and why. I am going into depth with her much more than I did with DJ. Because, she doesn't tend to speak up, give an opinion, or use her voice. I am hoping these exercises will be very good for her. My other child is very good at arguing, lol.
I have focused so much this year on starting an online Health Coaching business, plus getting ready to do some Kidney Awareness classes, that this blog has gotten neglected. Very neglected. I am hoping to change that by increasing readership and engagement. I will be starting a whole host of fun promoting, and link sharing posts for other bloggers, or small business owners. Other posts will be on fun topics for you to add your ideas to and get them shared. There will be no rules as to what blogging platform, or where you sell. The only rule is that you have to share other items or posts. The first one will start tomorrow with a Twitter share. If you are interested to be sure and follow this blog and check back in tomorrow. I haven't decided yet for the other days, and it probably won't be every day. I hope to see you tomorrow for the Twitter blog post share.
