Report on Ethnic Slurs and Amendments

            Ethnic slurs have always played an important role in raising outrage from the subjected parties and even communities. Even when there is no bad intention behind the term, it still is agile in hurting the subjected person or at least making that individual uncomfortable. Confusions and complications arise with the Amendments that allow certain acts and bound some other acts (Eifert, Miguel and Posner 2010). The First Amendment refers to an individual’s freedom of speech. It means that the government cannot stop anyone in the region regardless of the religion or the race from speaking whatever that person has to state as the First Amendment permits such a freedom. Obviously, ethical slurs clash with the ethical behavior as such words play critically hurts the hearer (Fishman, et al. 2013).

            While the First Amendment allows the freedom of speaking, the right to be let alone or privacy allows an individual to take lawful measures for protecting the privacy if it is being exposed. The existence of this right clears the smudges which arise with the right of freedom concerned with speech. Ethnic slurs, however, often cross the boundary of ethical behavior which activates the right of privacy. The issue is that government cannot take an action only if someone exclaims the usage of slurs. Proper evidence is required and that is why often, ethnic slurs are used.

Roles of Railroads Ethnic Slurs and Amendments

            The railroad in Atlas Shrugged, Taggart Transcontinental Railroad was actually the railroad that Nathaniel Taggart discovered in almost the nineteenth century and within the action of novel by the President as James Taggart and Vice-President as Dagny Taggart who held the responsibility of Operations. It was actually the element which was embraced by Dagny Taggart as the US’s code continued to fall. The railroad played an important role as a barrier among Vice-President and the strike.

        The TTRR or Taggart Transcontinental Railroad finally collapsed when the Taggart Bridge was broken by the Project X and fallen into the Mississippi River. Its fall made the Vice-President join the strike. Meanwhile in the Harlan Miners Speak, the railroad played an important role as the pillar for carrying the coal. Depending on the railroad, utilities along with coal could be transported from one region to the other. Both railroads were an important resource and impacted the action immensely.

        Social media has affected various countries worldwide in such a way that communities have adjusted them according to the technology supporting it. Not only the social media impacts businesses but it also affects how people are living at the moment. For instance in India, people using Social Media don’t need an external application to connect with several other individuals. Additionally, social media is used as a potential source of affecting the perception of consumers which indicates that people really have adjusted themselves according to the technology (Lawson 2013).

Journalism Ethnic Slurs and Amendments

        Harlan Miners Speak is all about reporting terrorism through literary work. It illustrates the hidden aspects such as sufferings of individuals. Some chapters have been written by Sherwood Anderson and Theodore Dreiser which includes journalism that involves society and its suffering which is usually hidden or not illustrated in works. It can be said that public journalism is used by both of them along with John Dos Passos. In the book, miners and their situations were discussed .The chapter written by John Dos Passos also illustrates the hidden emotions and sufferings pointing to the use of public, society, and transitional journalism.
