motivation behind why surveilling is not working. This is in light of the fact that by far most of times it won't stop the tragedies. It just gets the suspects. By then, other than that for what does the organization uses observation? In reality, Greenwald says that most the time the organization uses perception to surveil people who express their points of view (187). I consider what number of them are Muslims.

Kelion (2013) suggested that the National Security Agency of the U.S. instituted a surveillance program in 2007, called Prism. According to Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill (2013), through this surveillance system, the commissioners were permitted to gather various information, such as search history, contents of emails, file transfers and live chats (Greenwald & MacAskill, 2013). This broad scope of surveillance did not only invade the public’s privacy, but also disclose the dishonesty of the…

What makes Citizenfour successful is that it takes a would-be traitor and turns him into a heroic icon. The director and filmmaker, Laura Poitras, seemed perfect for the role to construct such a thought provoking thriller. Her past basically speaks for itself; Citizenfour is the third film in her post 9/11 trilogy. Because of the type of film’s she’s worked on, she was placed on the government secret watch list. In a way, her past film from 2006, My Country, My Country, was something that helped…

Whistleblowers are guilty of neither. Glenn Greenwald, journalist and former constitutional lawyer, vehemently defended Edward Snowden against the espionage charges, declaring “[Snowden] could have - but chose not - sold the information he had to a foreign intelligence service for vast sums of money, or covertly passed it to one of America's enemies, or worked at the direction of a foreign government. That is espionage. He did none of those things” (Greenwald). Since whistleblowers…

“You are in the hands of a system whose reach is unlimited, but whose safeguards are not”- quote by Citizenfour. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is an utopian and dystopian fiction novel that is very similar to the film called, Citizenfour. Both pieces of work have different ways of displaying their own versions of their world’s, but in the end both seem to be the same exact one. Both stories display a scenario in which the people are censored by the government to hide the truth of what is going…

“Surveillance breeds conformity”(Glenn Greenwald). Usually people use cameras for protection but it has grown to much more. For many years, the United States government, and many others, have been watching people through surveillance cameras. They are easily hacked or misused and justice is rarely given. Although many people want to increase the amount of surveillance cameras in public places; however, decreasing the amount of surveillance cameras will help with financial problems, with hacking,…

According to Glenn Greenwald, “History shows that the mere existence of a mass surveillance apparatus… is in itself enough to stifle dissent. A citizenry that is aware of being watched quickly becomes a compliant and fearful one” (Russel 2). Mass surveillance cannot end well…

United States vs Portugal on Decriminalization of Drugs Decriminalization of Drugs in Portugal began in 1974 when democratic control was brought back to legislation (Thornton n.pag.). People that had previously left the country due to a dictatorship came back, and the people that returned were not all respectable. By the 1990s drug use was higher than ever. Many citizens were drug users. After that, the drug use sky rocketed. Included with the drug use brought addiction, HIV, and overdoses…
