Example 1: The right of non-self-incrimination
IPhone has created a new feature that will allow you to use your fingerprint to unlock the phone vice using a PIN or password. The article stated that the 5th Amendment may not apply to the biometric-based fingerprints due to the fact that it reflects who we are, such as a password or PIN is something that is memory-based and it’s a need to know and remember. There are high chances that new technology will have an effect in the legal court system. Apple IPhone is a large growing company and it was a bold move to create a security system as such. The user should have knowledge of their rights prior to accepting the fingerprint vice the PIN or password. I think that this will cause major issues when it comes down to legal court systems.

The accreditors are part of the Higher Learning Commission, they are a jury of their peers that go through and investigate the school’s academic programs and education rating. I know that every parent looking at schools for their kids look at this type of information. It is important to send your child to a well-known accredited school, which will provide a higher level of education.
