Security vs Privacy

Security vs Privacy.

Final Paper-Security vs Privacy For your final paper, you’ll tackle the cryptography question of our time: security vs. privacy. Should our government be given wide latitude to use electronic surveillance in the interests of national security, even if that means citizens’ privacy is not always respected? This is a question we’ve explored here and there throughout this course. Thanks to Edward Snowden’s 2013 revelations about the National Security Agency, it’s now part of our national dialogue. This paper is your opportunity to spend time thinking critically about the question and crafting a well-supported answer. Actually, the question above is just one way to frame the topic. You’re welcome to respond to that very question, but you’re also welcome to go in some other direction. You might propose something very concrete, perhaps a response to the Carpenter v. US case recently decided by the Supreme Court,, or a response to the more recent Paris/Belgium (2016) or New Zealand attacks, or you could take a more abstract approach and analyze the rhetoric used in this debate (“security”? “privacy”?). You could look broadly at securing the US from terror attacks, or you could shift the focus to a different context—say, surveillance in schools. Your task is to come up with an interesting thesis that addresses some aspect of the security, privacy, and surveillance discussion, then defend your thesis with arguments and evidence. You’re welcome to use our articles on the blackboard as a source of ideas, examples, and evidence. You’re also welcome to bookmark new sources and post to the group as you work on your paper. Although you’re not allowed to collaborate on writing your papers, sharing sources via blackboard is approved and encouraged. Your paper will be graded on the strength and clarity of your arguments, as well as the quality of your sources. See the rubric for details.
