Undercover

Being a CEO sounds great, but you don't get to meet the people that make the company; you don't get to see who's coming in or who is working there.

Throughout his essay, he maintains a friendly, parent-to-parent tone that one can compare to a conversation over coffee. As a college student without children, I found it difficult to understand the importance of monitoring children’s internet activities. However, when I forced myself to take on the perspective of a parent, I…

I agree with Harlan Coben that parents should monitor their kids for many reasons.

oligopolistic situations. Particularly, the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” which demonstrated how competitors have to compromise to optimise their results.

You are so excited to download all the new apps that everyone at school talks about, but what you don’t realize is that the internet can be a dangerous place if you dig to deep into it. You can enter a dangerous site that puts you at risk, or you can find disturbing images of naked people (pornagraphy), injuries, health issues. That make you feel sick to your…

In his essay “Undercover Parent,” Harlan Coben supports the idea of using spyware on teenager’s electronics by parents. Using this spyware you have the ability to “log every keystroke your child makes” (2) and invading their private space. While this idea is valid because most parents who do this are loving and only want to protect their children from harm, by placing this spyware on a teen’s electronics you are not only evading their privacy but also their trust.

After reading Coben’s article, I have found that I disagree with his opinion. In the article, as coben writes while referring to a child, he states clearly “Shouldn’t he learn now that…
