Sacrifice Your Privacy
Did you know that your internet history has already been
3. saved and archived . Privacy the state or condition of being free
from being observed or disturbed by other people . Humans
from ages has privacy in every aspects In their life’s but in the
last decades with the invention of the internet governments and
companies started to invade people privacy . People from
different ages started to use the internet and the social media ,
the more people that use the internet and the social media the
more privacy we face . Although invading people privacy leads
people to problems like divorces , it ought that it is very useful
to track people moves through the internet and social media
because it protect us from terror attacks and decrease of the
street crimes and it help employers to find the best people to
hire ; therefore , privacy something we must sacrifice in order
to participate in today’s world .
The internet build a network for people to communicate
faster and easily better than every way to contact someone .
Following people tracks helps government and military basis
with funding terror attacks , it protect the society and the world
from the bad people to harm our beautiful world . Many
terrorist attacks has been fell down by the internet without the
internet will never could find the people who want to harm our
world and society and that’s what we need we need technology
that help us to catch people who are planning to ruin our world .
In the article “ Terrorists and the Internet “ by Eben Kaplan ,
Kaplan states that with internet it is easily to find terrorists ,
and it also help the US government and military to find al-
Qaeda members by tracking there location to know where they
are .
Installing large amount of surveillance cameras around the
neighborhoods and the streets creates safer and more effective
streets . Public surveillance cameras provides us with video
recording with the incident we need and can be reviewed many
times as much you need . The wide variety of cameras around
the streets help us to catch criminals with evidence .In the
article “Chicago's Camera Network Is Everywhere “ the writer
mention that the city of Chicago has installed more than 1500
4. cameras that linked with police around the city to decrease the
numbers of crimes in Chicago . And also mentioned in the
article that a police spokesman said that installing 1500 cameras
around the city of Chicago has "aided in thousands of arrests." .
For example, the cameras around the city caught a footage that
one of the Chicago gang member has shoot fire on a bus , the
video used as an evidence and the evidence led the gang
member to 100 years in the prison .
Browsing people profiles on social media websites has
never been easier than the period we are in right now . By
browsing people profiles you can know where the person live
and how old is he and what his favorite actor and what his
favorite team all that information you can get it by just one
click in your computer or device . In the last ten years ,
employers started to check the applicants profiles to decide
whether they are going to hire this person of not . In “
Employers Use Social Networks to Check Out Applicants “
showed that photos is the most biggest factor in hiring decision
followed by drinking and drug use . Other stuff that the
employers check is the online communication skills and that’s
hurt many people in hiring decisions . The most popular website
that employers check their applicants profiles are Facebook
followed by LinkedIn . Many companies started to follow this
method and it works well by the help of the internet and the
social media .
On the other hand , there are many people against privacy
and they think we should not sacrifice for it because it’s leading
us to bigger problems . In there point of view they think that the
government are doing illegal activities by getting all of our
personal information and our phone records . They also think
that’s people rights should be always decided by the people
themselves not the government and small corporations .
However , tracking people phone calls and recorders would
prevent us from many terror attacks in the past for example 9/11
, this is threat is bigger than our privacy because we are losing
human beings in this way . People should see the pros and cons
5. for every subject that impact our society and in this subject I
think that the pros of scarifying our privacy are more than cons
, and that’s what really we want we want to make people life
better and easier than ever .
At the end , People should not need to worry about their
personal privacy and information because it’s benefit us in more
in many ways and aspects . Providing our personal information
and privacy are used in good way to help us . Losing privacy
nowadays is different because it is for our own goods because it
protect us from terror attacks and decrease of the street crimes
and it help employers to find the best people to hire . We need
to sacrifice our privacy to participate in today’s world to have
safer and better life .
