Answer:

FOR Government Surveillance

AGAINST Government Surveillance

1. WE NEED TO BE KEPT SAFE

We should not be naïve: the world is not a safe place. Terrorist organisations such as the so-called Islamic State aim to cause massive loss of life, and they’re not restrained by ethical or moral considerations. Foreign governments have demonstrated their willingness to deploy deadly weapons, including radiological and nerve agents, in order to target dissidents and political opponents within our borders. Drug cartels have access to military-grade arsenals, and are willing to go to brutal lengths to enforce control.

If a state cannot guarantee national security then it has failed in its most important mission: keeping us safe. The government should have access to all the tools it needs in order to prevent terrorism, violent crime, and foreign interference. There should be due process, and sufficient political and judicial oversight, but after reasonable criteria have been met it makes absolutely no sense to deliberately tie the hand of government and diminish its ability to protect us. If we want security, we need to let our intelligence services do what they do best.

1. WE NEED TO BE KEPT FREE

Only a fool would trust the government with their information. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” We’ve seen the havoc that surveillance states wreaked upon their own citizens in the 20th century, and even today. It creates a society without privacy or freedom of thought. Do we really want to return to an East German model? Have we learned nothing from history?

The danger posed by terrorist groups and criminal gangs is nothing compared to the resources available to a modern state. As our politics grows more populist and rhetoric grows sharper, the danger only increases. Constitutional checks and balances are being eroded. How can judicial oversight be considered sufficient when the independence of the judiciary is being weakened? What happens if the members of oversight committees are fiercely loyal first to the government, and have a grudge against the opposition? Even in a democracy, it would not take much to sleepwalk into a situation where surveillance operations are abused (just look at the Watergate scandal!).

2. IT WORKS!

If you actually take a moment to look at the research, you’ll find that surveillance does work. Terrorist attacks are constantly foiled thanks to government surveillance. In 2017, the UK government announced that it has managed to prevent 13 terror attacks over the previous five years, in part thanks to surveillance. France has, likewise, reported similar successes. Countless lives have been saved thanks to these efforts.

2. IT DOESN’T WORK!

How can you stop a person driving a car into a crowd of civilians? Or taking a kitchen knife and stabbing random passersby? If they really want to, terrorists and criminals know how to bypass government surveillance. For example, ISIS has famously used apps to send encrypted messages to one another, outside of government reach. Where there’s a will, there’s always a way. The UN has shown that surveillance is mere gesture politics, rather than results-oriented. A much better approach is addressing the root causes of terrorism, and adopting effective counter-radicalisation strategies.

TASK #1 "Bliss" by Katherine Mansfield offers many instances where the third-person narrator is
allowed an introspective look into the mind of Bertha, revealing intimate details of her feelings. One
such example is the opening segment of the story (excerpted in lecture notes for class #6). Read the
story attentively and find ANOTHER passage that works in the same way. Ideally, this should be a fairly
compact passage of 1-3 paragraphs in length. Once you've selected the passage, conduct a close reading
analysis of it and show how specific details including relevant literary devices work to allow the reader
an intimate look into Bertha's feelings. Your paragraph must offer a strong topic sentence with a claim
and evidential support from the passage. You must cite the text of the story extensively. Paragraph must
be approximately 150-200 words.
INSERT YOUR PARAGRAPH BELOW. Write in a paragraph-form, not in point-form. Double-space
your writing. Use 12 point-size font.

Once the largest portion of the food pyramid grains are still an important part of a healthy diet. Grains come in two forms: whole and refined. Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel, which includes the outermost layer the inner layer, and the smallest part of the grain. These are the bran, germ and endosperm. Together they make a whole grain. Whole grains, which include whole-wheat flour, whole cornmeal, oatmeal, and brown rice are great nutritional choices. Refined grains such as white bread and white rice, are not as nutritionally powerful for they lack the vitamins and fiber that the two outer layers of grain provide. In order to get the most out of your daily grain consumption choose oatmeal, popcorn, or whole-grain crackers. A general recommended daily intake of grains amounts to about one cup of cereal at breakfast two slices of whole grain bread at lunch, and one cup of pasta or rice at dinner. If you want to "easily customize your grain intake " says nutritionist Eva Tomer," consult My Pyramid at www.mypyramid.gov.

“God’s World”
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!

Long have I known a glory in it all,
But never knew I this:
Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart,—Lord, I do fear
Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me,—let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.

“Spring”
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death
But what does that signify?
Not only underground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

Millay is a pessimist who dislikes beauty anywhere she sees it because it implies that all is right with the world.
Millay is a religious poet who sees the divine in nature and reflected in the rebirth of plants in the spring.

“Farewell Address:” What information does the following passage mainly convey?

“In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.”
Question 17 options:

a) The differences between districts are greater than the similarities.

b) The people who create disunity are mostly working to help others.

c) Some people will try to create divisions between districts out of self interest.

d) Party influence is important for rising to become head of a district.

Dear Editor,

I have never taken the time to write a letter to the editor, but something happened that lit a fire in me. Last week, as my best friend Areliss and I headed to class, a group of college protesters blocked our path. Their signs read “GO HOME” and “ILLEGALS LEAVE.” They shouted, “Send them home!” These protesters couldn’t have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss’s heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?

Areliss came to the United States illegally, but she didn’t do it intentionally. She was a baby. Her parents, seeking a better life, failed to follow the established immigration procedure, and they slipped into our country undetected. Once here, they raised Areliss, who would grow up never knowing any other home but America.

Under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Areliss has been granted the temporary opportunity to remain here while she completes her college education. DACA ensures, at least for a while, that she will not be deported to a country she has never visited in her entire life.

The term “DREAMers” refers to an act that would have protected these immigrant children if they attended college or served in the military. The DREAM Act did not pass, but its name has remained. DACA recipients have a dream: they dream that their lifelong contribution to the United States will one day be recognized, and they will be permitted to stay in the country they have always called home.

Now, DACA is ending. Those who oppose DACA say it encourages illegal activity, weakens our borders, and goes against the Constitution. I understand their concerns. In an era of heightened security, we must do our utmost to keep this great nation safe. That includes establishing a healthy monitoring system for immigration.

But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them.

To send DREAMers away is to deny that responsibility. Programs like DACA exist to keep the American dream alive.

Yes, Areliss is a DREAMer. But I, too, have a dream. My dream is that DACA will be reinstated. My dream is that Areliss will be invited to stay in the country she has known as home since she was a baby and live out her dreams in the country she loves.

Sincerely,

Brittany Taylor
