I didn’t think that if Batman killed the Joker he would be wrong to and if would basically be the same as vigilantes, taking the law into their own hands. I liked how the authors compared terrorism to this situation, it would not be fair if we tortured terrorist to tell us information. America is looked at as a superpower and a place where everyone comes for freedom, I feel if we start using water torture and other means to get information out of our enemies we would become just as bad as they are. I feel like the answer to both of these situations is no. Batman should not kill the Joker and we should not be torturing our enemies to get information out of them.
Down with the Patriot Act The Patriot Act is a very controversial law. It allows the government much more room to do as they please. Some of these practices that government officials can do are monitoring phone calls, emails, and going through personal records. They say this will help prevent terrorism, but is losing one’s privacy really worth it? Could there be a better way to prevent terrorism?
In the article "Understanding Terrorism" by Tori DeAngelis, states that there is no evidence that ceased from terrorism results in de-radicalization. They state the problem is individuals interpretation and perspective of things and what makes sense to us is different to what makes sense to people on the ground. Therefore they conclude that these programs will not help, but also it might bring the former terrorist and add fuel to the fire. In closing, there are many causes of terrorism , but theres also many ways to prevent it. Anti- terrorist and de-radicalization programs are designed to help people with radical thoughts to think otherwise.
There are definitely pros and cons for individual(s) being able to have a concealed weapon but in this case I am for people being able to carry a concealed weapon. Criminals are less likely to target a person if they know that person is armed. Second I don’t feel the government can 100 guarantees the safety of all of its citizens. Third reason why is criminals are going to carry a concealed weapon legal or not. So why shouldn’t law abiding citizens be able to do the same and be able to protect themselves.
Gardner’s ideas are too drastic and I believe he didn’t have enough support in his argument that his plans would actually decrease the murders in gang violence. To say that his thoughts on drugs are the missing piece to gang-violence; I agree with him one-hundred percent. Yet, to pinpoint on drugs as the only reason viciousness and violence happens in gangs, is almost too good to be true. Dan may as well fly off to Never-Never land, because those dreams aren’t ever coming true. First off, I would like to thank Gardner for his enlightening point of view, of how gang violence is heavily influenced by the whole drug trade and the black market that associates itself with it.
In my opinion it is ethical to market Publius because it creates of open the door for people to speak out about the different malpractices that happen in their country and couldn’t speak about it. 2. Are the creators of Publius in any way morally responsible for any criminal acts that criminals are able to carry out and keep secret by relying on Publius? Is AT &T in anyway morally responsible for these? Explain your answers.
This caused much controversy as Americans would classify him as a traitor or hero for what he did. Americans called him a hero because they feel like they should have some type of privacy and security when it comes to their private documents and what they do over the internet as well as in their free time. Other Americans feel like he is a traitor because he revealed documents that were classified and did not have permission from the National Security Agency to leak them to the public. I classify Edward Snowden as a hero. The National Security Agency (abbreviated NSA) is the creator and manager of the signals intelligence agency of the United States of America who’s responsibility it is to check and analyze all foreign communications.
They are all in place to help protect American citizens. The first goal is very important because without it how would we be able to keep terrorists from trying to strike the United States. Now that these goals are in place they will help to spot unusually activity. The second goal is also at the top of my list. If our borders are more secure that will help to keep terrorists from trying to cross illegally into the United States.
The president used his connections to not be prosecuted what he thought was indefinitely was soon found out by Elise. The story of the president not being is plausible because of the evidence to support that with the correct means can potentially get away but in some instances there’s only a point where money and connections can help you. This is important to the story since the only reason the president would even risk the United States and terrorists negotiating was since he was being
The ones that are against racial profiling have thought of an alternative solution, which is behavioral profiling. Behavioral profiling, hence the name, means to base the law enforcers' suspicion according to that person’s behavior instead of race. With this more effective system, it balances our protection from both terrorism and violating someone’s civil rights. One reasonable example on why we shouldn’t racial profile is the popular bomber in United Kingdom, Richard Reid, who doesn’t fit the profile that they have created for terrorists. Individuals have also made good arguments about the negative outcome that racial profiling might bring to our society.
