Write an argument based on Government Surveillance and use a balance of evidence (avoid using summary) use at least four scholar
Rashid [163]

Answer:

FOR Government Surveillance

AGAINST Government Surveillance

1. WE NEED TO BE KEPT SAFE

We should not be naïve: the world is not a safe place. Terrorist organisations such as the so-called Islamic State aim to cause massive loss of life, and they’re not restrained by ethical or moral considerations. Foreign governments have demonstrated their willingness to deploy deadly weapons, including radiological and nerve agents, in order to target dissidents and political opponents within our borders. Drug cartels have access to military-grade arsenals, and are willing to go to brutal lengths to enforce control.

If a state cannot guarantee national security then it has failed in its most important mission: keeping us safe. The government should have access to all the tools it needs in order to prevent terrorism, violent crime, and foreign interference. There should be due process, and sufficient political and judicial oversight, but after reasonable criteria have been met it makes absolutely no sense to deliberately tie the hand of government and diminish its ability to protect us. If we want security, we need to let our intelligence services do what they do best.

1. WE NEED TO BE KEPT FREE

Only a fool would trust the government with their information. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” We’ve seen the havoc that surveillance states wreaked upon their own citizens in the 20th century, and even today. It creates a society without privacy or freedom of thought. Do we really want to return to an East German model? Have we learned nothing from history?

The danger posed by terrorist groups and criminal gangs is nothing compared to the resources available to a modern state. As our politics grows more populist and rhetoric grows sharper, the danger only increases. Constitutional checks and balances are being eroded. How can judicial oversight be considered sufficient when the independence of the judiciary is being weakened? What happens if the members of oversight committees are fiercely loyal first to the government, and have a grudge against the opposition? Even in a democracy, it would not take much to sleepwalk into a situation where surveillance operations are abused (just look at the Watergate scandal!).

2. IT WORKS!

If you actually take a moment to look at the research, you’ll find that surveillance does work. Terrorist attacks are constantly foiled thanks to government surveillance. In 2017, the UK government announced that it has managed to prevent 13 terror attacks over the previous five years, in part thanks to surveillance. France has, likewise, reported similar successes. Countless lives have been saved thanks to these efforts.

2. IT DOESN’T WORK!

How can you stop a person driving a car into a crowd of civilians? Or taking a kitchen knife and stabbing random passersby? If they really want to, terrorists and criminals know how to bypass government surveillance. For example, ISIS has famously used apps to send encrypted messages to one another, outside of government reach. Where there’s a will, there’s always a way. The UN has shown that surveillance is mere gesture politics, rather than results-oriented. A much better approach is addressing the root causes of terrorism, and adopting effective counter-radicalisation strategies.

Which MOST ACCURATELY identifies the relationship between the rights to vote for African Americans and for women?
Ahat [919]

Answer: D) Women were not extended the right to vote until after African American males.

How does the word tetra relate to the game Tettis
Vinvika [58]

First off do you mean the game tetris? If so here is the answer:

Tetra is a prefix which means “four” and is used when forming compound words. In tetris, we use pieces (called tetrominos), which are formed by combining 4 small blocks (called minos). There are 7 possible types of tetrominos named after the letters that they resemble: I, O, L, J, T, S, and Z.
