Imagine a world of transparency. Each human would have full access to every minuscule detail of another person’s life, from looking up their medical issues online, to watching a live stream of every single move they make.

The United States, for example, has been said to have contradictory, as well as competing, objectives within its aid system. This system, therefore, is said to be “disjointed and increasingly…

1. My main dilemma is whether or not to take the Judge’s suggestion and pose as Alex’s father. 2. It is unethical and against the law for me to pose as Alex’s parent for the express purpose of obtaining medical records that both myself and the judge have no legal right to possess.
