It is clear to see that in Etzioni's article private issues are very complex. Some people argue that personal private matters should be kept to yourself but others argue that when it comes down to health issues and such things like the overall well being of yourself and others, private matters should somewhat be exposed. For example, the mothers that are most likely to exposed to HIV should be tested for the disease when they are pregnant or before so that it will decrease the chances of their children from getting HIV. Also, people that are sex offenders are not allowed to work in child care areas. It has pretty much come to a agreement that when it comes to public interest, private matters must be dealt with differently. The major concern is public health and safety, and if that means stripping away some of your privacy then this must be done.

Untold Stories
In the series of Untold Stories, both the Seminole Indian tribe and the pioneers are represented. When I compare Immokalee to Tampa which is where I grew up it is clear to see that is is very different. Immokalee is built much more upon agriculture which a lot has to do with being so close to the Everglades. But even besides that, the town is heavily populated with Seminole Indians unlike where I grew up in. After I watched the video I was unable to classify whether or not Imokalee would be considered the "new" or "old" American Dream. I feel like they have their own classification. Yes, they are going through many changes but it is almost like they are isolated somewhat from the rest of the United States and have a little of their own culture. It is clear to see that agriculture will continue to be a profit and with the success of the casino's the Seminole's will continue to prosper. In time, I believe that Immokalee will change somewhat with the times but they will continue to live life on their own terms.
