The Balance
During our seminar a discussion about what would be the right balance of our privacy and the government being able to watch us. Most of the class claimed there would never be a balance that people could agree on. I don't know but in my opinion I think what we have now is the perfect balance. We aren't being watched 24/7, we can think whatever we want, and we don't live in fear that we are being monitored or stalked by anyone or anything. However, we can be tracked if needed. We can be found if we are lost, sometimes. During a crisis I'm sure things would change but I still believe what we have now is the best balance of both sides.

I think we are each fortunate for the society we live now and that like you said it is the perfect balance. I mean so far I've never been in a situation as far as I know of where I've been monitored of tracked by the government. For the most part we are all able to say and do what we want without living in fear and I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true, Ariel; however, look at different third world countries. They are scared of their society just like the citizens in 1984. Yes we as U.S citizens should be very fortunate to live in our society.
ReplyDeleteThere can't really be a balance since it is different for everyone. In our own country we aren't really being monitored that much but in other places like North Korea they are being watched 24/7. It's all based on experience

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't think there will ever be a balance that everyone agrees on. Like someone said during the talk, everyone has a different ideal of what is fair or not. However, i can agree that where we're at right now is fine. We are advancing in technology as a whole but are still given the freedom we deserve.
