When it comes to deciding which of the five workable and ethical theories, Kantianism, Social Contract Theory, Act Utilitarianism, Rule Utilitarianism, and Virtue Ethics, that others use to guide their moral decision making, people tend to follow closely to one, a combination of two, or use which ever theory that will validate their decision or benefit them the most. I personally lean towards a combination of Kantianism and Virtue Ethics. In my everyday life, it is important that I continue to…

right to privacy, through internet monitoring, is a heated topic among politicians and voters. As american citizens we are given a series of rights, written within the sacred document we proudly call our constitution, but how far do our rights go? First, however, we must identify what our rights are. Our first right, as inscribed, is our rights to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc.; but it’s important to find the balance between people’s freedoms and with people's right to…

technology and social media that is available we have on hand. Information is entirely too easy to obtain if you put it on the internet, but what if you don’t? The information you share on social media is fair game but the information you share in the privacy over the phone during a call should be respected. Security should not invade liberties without going up for a vote to support the democracy system we have in the country today. The NSA ran a convert operation, ACT 215, where they would tap…

technology comes an apparent decrease in privacy. Ultimately, leading to the question of: when and under what circumstances should the government be able to access information encrypted on personal devices? Universal Law Michael Schrage, a Research Fellow stated, “hard cases make bad law.” What is meant by this quote is, a severe case is a negative basis for a universal law because it will encompass a wider array of less severe cases. Generally, a universal law is best written for…

Should we be concerned about surveillance throughout the places we go? If so, why? Is it not meant to keep us safe? These are the questions I asked myself as I walked along Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles. This street, along with Broadway street in Downtown Los Angeles, hold an important piece of history due to the fact that many significant events have occurred there. The 1970 Chicano Moratorium, for example, took place on Whittier Boulevard and immigration rallies have taken place in…

fine but “they agreed not to misrepresent the privacy, security or confidentiality of user’s information, and agreed to implement a privacy program that will be subject to monitoring for 20 years” (WSJ). Even the big company gets in trouble with FTC regarding their “privacy”. Google is probably the biggest search engine in the world. In 2012, they were charged with a fine of $22.5 million to settle FTC charges because they misrepresented the privacy assurances to Apple’s safari users. FTC…

electronic surveillance. They shouldn't be allowed to use electronic surveillance because they are invading our privacy. They can’t do that without court orders or warrants, so they can’t do it to just regular normal people. This can lead to misunderstandings. Bottom line our rights would be denied and taken away if the electronic surveillance enabled. The government would be invading our privacy because sometimes we have very private conversations that we want nobody to hear except the person…

Information Privacy Against Government and Corporations We as citizens would think privacy is something we have, it’s also something we should cherish and value but because of technology including credit cards/debit cards, it’s hard to keep this condition without worldly interactions.
