Are our civil liberties being taken away from us? Well, I think that in one case, yes. That case would be the invention of a new device called the Mosquito. What this device does is emit a high-frequency sound that can be heard by most teens and people in their early twenties. The device is to ward off that unwanted teen loitering from places like malls and grocery stores etc.
There is a debate of about whether or not this device infringes our civil liberties? Does it? I think it does because if you are like me and hardly ever hang out at the mall and just go there to waste time and aren't bugging anyone then where else am I supposed to go? I only go there if i have no place else to go while I'm waiting to be picked up by my parents.
I believe that you can say that this device was created with the "all teens are the same" stereotype. This makes me kind of mad because not all teens are the same, not all of us are trouble makers. I mean a good majority of us are but we've all been there right? Wrong. It's a different time than when our parents were teenagers and the economy and culture is different now too. It's not the same and never is the same. Ten years from now It'll all be different again.
