Individual Privacy vs. National Security Robin Bettasso English 122 Michelle Terashima July _____, 2012 Individual Privacy vs. National Security I have chosen to do my topic on individual privacy vs. national security. Individual privacy and national security is something that many people have argued for years. Many people had forgotten what disturbance September 11, 2001 was to everyone in America. This was the day that 2992 lives were stolen in the attacks by the Tailban on U.S. soil. Due to this attack, the United States Congress along with the federal government has put in place many new security regulations. Many people have lost touch with why these regulations were put in place. As well, many people have lost touch with the U.S. Congress and the federal government and using full body scans and other methods to secure America. I am limiting my topic to protecting privacy while it is being jeopardized with national security. Individual privacy speculates that expose a person's limitation to open public there are different prospects and difference scenarios on persons individual privacy. Even human has a right to their own privacy. Some people scream more than others do and how much privacy they actually have. In a perfect world, private for every human would be fulfilled to his or her likings. The problem is we do not live in a perfect world, only one that is full of hate crime and violence. It is the nation’s job to keep our country safe and reduce the number of mishaps. This is where the line of conflict comes into play. Citizen is who says our country is too hard with national security are only viewing our country and its safety through the positive side and upcoming. This also depends on where a person lives, what is the crime rate in the area, and their personal experiences. A person from upper-class neighborhood may feel the national securities good and that they have all the privacy they need. The reason why is because they do not witness much crime and wrongdoings a person who lives in a lower class may feel that our security is not good enough. The reason the reason being is that they do not feel safe even in their own homes. Their opinion also weighs on the lifestyle and character of a person. Compare a doctor with a drug dealer. The doctor will mostly like be all for tight security. The drug dealer will say our security is so tight, because he wants more freedom to keep doing is illegal doings. Individual privacy is important because everyone wants his or her own space. Somewhere they fail is the safest place on earth, where no one will ever harm them. I am arguing about these types of problems with personal privacy and national security. I am also arguing that these many opposing points of view among most experts that either supports the government's action with the Patriot Act and the National Commission Report (National Commission Report 2004). So in order to understand the public the way they stand all electronic eavesdropping this paper will review expert’s opinions on both sides of the spectrum. I'm also arguing about the patriot act I believe it fails to secure America's liberties, in reality, backed expose American to potential abuse of power by creating an environment think urge government corruption, secrecy, fraud and discrimination while using "national security" as a pretense for violating basic constitutional rights like privacy and freedom of speech.
