I do believe that society should care about security. As we discussed in class,
America is the safest country. Americans citizens don’t walk around in fear of there lives ending every single day. We have that advantage of enjoying life more then other countries in the world. A lot of times we indulge a little to much and take our safety for granted. Society doesn’t understand how safe we really are. When we discussed other methods different countries take to stay safe, it really blew me away. Especially, Germany’s procedures of having to register with the police every time you spend the night at someone’s house. Those types of security procedure are pretty harsh in my opinion, but seem to work.
Although, America is a safer place to live then most countries. Safety does have its price. Whenever Americans log on to there computers, or use there cellphones; they are constantly under surveillance. Even with the television in there homes. We discussed in Mass Communication & Society class, that the cable companies are going to put censors in the cable boxes just to see how long you watch TV. Although, that is mainly for ratings of certain TV shows( so the government says). It is definitely another way to invade a person’s privacy.
The media wants so bad for society believe that we have free will. That we have privacy and we do have a choice. We have more privacy and choices then other countries. But I believe, that we are always being watched. In any way that is obtainable about that person’s life. The government will know. Its sad when people meet, and want to stay in contact, the first piece of information they ask for is “ do you have facebook?” The internet helps and initiates the reactions of humanity in itself.
Honestly, I would rather have my privacy invaded then worrying about where the bomb is going to hit. Sacrifice is a part of life. If giving up my privacy, which I never really had anyway to help keep America safe. I would do it.
