This way government can control them and there is no rebellion. There is no freedom. Ayn Rand is warning the modern society, that it could change into the society in Anthem. Anthem portraits the loss of individuality. In the society in Anthem people have no real names, which is a loss of identity and individuality.
Should Lance Corporal Justin Ellsworth’s parents been given access to his email? I don’t believe they should have, simply due to preserving his privacy. Privacy can mean many things from the right to be left alone to the right to have some control over how an individual’s personal or health information is properly collected, stored, used or released. This is a reasonable expectation that Lance Corporal Ellsworth could have assumed when he signed up for his email account with Yahoo. Within our email accounts, we conceive a place where we can have our personal space, keep private documents and keep our innermost feelings typed in our privacy.
Individual Privacy vs. National Security William J. Crabtree ENG 121 Instructor: Jessica Hamman July 02, 2012 First off let me just say that National Security is not just a bunch of government spy’s out there to take your privacy away and put your information out there for everyone. National Security serves many purposes from emergency preparedness and management to keeping threats isolated. So as history has revealed before, the people of our nation cannot afford to be self-centered on their Individual Privacy and the fight against our government’s way of protecting us. If we just take a minute to weigh the outcome of letting the government monitor not take away our Individual Privacy for the good of National Security we would see that many disastrous events could have and can be prevented. On September 11, 2001, the United States was invaded for the first time since the War of 1812 also known as “America’s second war of Independence”.
Depending on the education, the citizens receive they will use their power and the country's power in either a good way or a bad way. If people learn about countries helping each other out and being peaceful, then they will most likely do the same when they are in power. Of course there are a few times when this isn't the case. For a country to be positive they have to learn that being positive is the best way to be. They can learn about countries that used their power to do bad things but they need to see that in history it has never worked out and will not help the country out in the long run.
The book 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most powerful warnings ever issued against the dangers of a totalitarian society. It illustrates the worst human society imaginable, in an effort to convince readers to avoid any path that might lead toward such societal degradation. In his book, Orwell talked about the invasion of government into our lives, the effect that it would be on our freedom and the repercussions in everyday life. He describes a world beyond our imagination. Now it is being said the Fourth Amendment’s promise of protection from government invasion of privacy is in danger of being replaced by the futuristic surveillance state Orwell described (Liptak, 2011).” By the same token, does 1984 present a startling and haunting vision of the world today?
People all over the world value the fact that their emails are private, that is why we use passwords to protect the privacy of our email accounts as account holders. Only allowing the people we want to see the emails. Furthermore if the emails did not relate to the cause of Justin’s death then what was the purpose of the parents’ request for the emails? I feel that access to Justin’s account should have been granted to his parents without his consent for the following reasons. I think that the parents should have been granted access if the cause of his death was unknown.
You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” (Mahatma Gandhi). Gandhi explains it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it and that it if you at least do something about it there will be a result. In the essay Small Change: Why the Revolution will not be tweeted by Malcolm Gladwell, he argues that social networking with such tools as Facebook and Twitter don’t help or are not a part of social activism. This is not the case, social networking is a huge part of communication and organization, being able to participate in something without physically being there, and that social networking increases motivation and participation.
However, the citizens wanted to make their own rules to follow, sensible and understandable rules. Further on Paine explains “the sun will never shine on a cause of greater worth?” I think that Paine is saying that it is such an issue that we should look to reform it in any way so that it is more fair to all citizens. The struggle of having a King or a Monarchy for the people at that time was difficult. The community wanted a more fair and equal government, while the king was not giving that to them. Let’s take for instance when Paine refers to the past writings of another author, Mr. Pelham “they will last my time.” The name of ancestors will be remembered for their great deeds by future generations with destinies of their own.
Vidding – Free Expression or Copyright Piracy? Instructor: Amy Goffinet BUS250: Corporate and Social Responsibility Lilia Rios October 06, 2013 Vidding is the practice of making new videos, sometimes called songvids or fanvids, which takes existing clips, usually from different sources (Lawrence & Weber, 2011). Many people do not know that viding is something that we do or use everyday, not taking into consideration that we may be breaking the law on others intellectual property. Personally, if you do not make any profits off it then you are not breaking the law in any way. If you are uploading stuff onto the internet, then that is a form of expression of one’s free speech because
In The Right to Tell the Truth, written by Ann Marie B. Bahr, she states, “I did not know about David Horowitz’s “academic bill of rights”…but even if I had, I would have not thought that I had anything to fear from it” (Bahr). Staff members have been afraid of going too far with their personal political opinion because of the Academic Bill of Rights, which Bahr states she would not ever think would give her fear, but however it did. Being kept from showing personal and real interest on an opinion is like being trapped inside of a box. A professor should be able to express a statement about politics for various reasons such as it will help get a better understanding about a certain topic, or the matter of politics would not have came up in the first place. Although Bahr does talk about political points of views, she doesn’t say everything that needs to be said and doesn’t get to into it, because of the feeling that it isn’t allowed.
