The future is here! Drones have evolved to be suited for combat, but the question is, is it ethical to use drones in combat? Does it help the cause or just make the cause worse? Drones being used in combat can change the way we fight. They are being used over sending in our troops, tanks, trucks, and manned aircraft. While we don't risk the lives of our soldiers and spending a lot of tax dollars on expensive equipment and vehicles, we send unmanned drones not risking lives of pilots flying…
Spying is only old news new to the world. History books let us realize that out of date advancements like the Roman Realm, Egypt, Chine, India, in this manner on used it. On top of that, 1900s organizations like the Previous Soviet Union and Nazi's Germany used spying procedures around the world wars.

There is a sandwich quotation in my source “Why Edward Snowden Is a Hero.” In the introduction of the sandwich, the author John Cassidy describes about the targeting countries of NSA’s surveillance program. He presents that the spying programs are not only collecting data from countries like Iran and Pakistan, but also from many allied countries. Cassidy then transits from introducing the surprising fact to the source material when uses his source to back up this fact. He directly quotes words…

Many people that signed on to be apart of Ultra had to sign the Official Secret Acts and were told that they were going to be breaking German encrypted messages. The job of the people involved were to break high-level encrypted messages sent through the German military, using the Enigma as a form of communication during World War II.

In the summer of 2013, Edward Snowden became a household name when he showed the world a corrupt, horribly invasive program run by the National Security Agency, also known as the NSA. This debacle is known as one of the largest surveillance programs in all of history. The NSA invaded the privacy of every United States citizen with access to the internet, and even read through emails and discussions of people in other countries. Was Snowden justified in his release of reports he learned during…
about it does not mean they were wrong to do what they did, it means we should take more care in passing laws. Another common error people have been making is that he was a whistleblower, because legally speaking Snowden is not.

So the main debate is what the government should do with the terrorist. Should our government use torture or enhanced interrogation as a way to save lives? The answer is yes, we should! Many view torture as an inhumane tactic and believe that torture should be eradicated from all governments. There are others,…
show’s difficulty. Another aspect that has damaged the show’s credibility is the accusations it has received for being biased. The show is being blamed for not only seeing one side of the story but also for misrepresenting a federal investigation agency. Allegedly, Homeland has served as a marketing tool to promote the CIA’s drastic actions on the “war on terror”. Several critics have analyzed and commented on the fact that Homeland has been extremely beneficial for the CIA. James Castonguay…
