1.  What do all have in common?
All of these article were about the government. The people who were responsible for the two bombing as said in article one and two were upset or angry about the government for some reason. And the third was simply about the government and the shutdown that happen more often that we think.

       1. From the movie, what are the benefits of a centralized system?
The benefits of a centralized system would be being able to know when someone with is doing something that causes suspition. It could be used to catch terrioris and other people that could cause harm to anyone else.

 

 

2. How did the advanced technology control the lives of the people in the movie?

It made it possible for the controlled technology to get the people do do as it wants them to do. It can also cause things to happen that can kill you or other people. it controlls everything.

3. Do you want to have that kind of technology in our community, like our school or municipality? Defend your stand.

I wouldn't mind having this technology is it was only used for good. It can hepl inprove our school as well as our nation. But if that technology gets into the wrong has, it can be very distuctive to our nation.

4. In what way do you use technology wisely? Give an example.

I used technology wisely when I'm doing research for one of my classes here at school, also when I read the news.

5. What message does the movie want to convey? How should you use or treat technology in this digital age?

I think the message in this movie was to let us know that no matter what we do the goverenment is watching, maybe not the intesly but they see. I would use this technology as a defense for our nation, using it to track and locate possible terroris or anyone that may cause our nation harm

In a way I do think that video games could play a part in violent videos games .But then again, how much you play also plays an important roll in this therory.  If someone plays sixteen hours a day like Aaron Alexis did and then go on a shooting rampage, then of course people will think that violent video games. impact people to do violent things.

read the article and then write a five sentence response to what you feel about privacy versus security. 

Just as Robert Ford said in the articel, if the government really is protecting us as citizen and not telling us, I'm all for that. But if it's just to see what we do and say in social media, thats an invasion of privacy and is against the law. I understand that the government has the right to hack into our social media accounts, but why keep it from us? To be honest, it was probably stated in the Terms and Condition of social media webstes but no one ever reads thouse. Put in it GIANT red font on its own page that appears as you sign us for said social websites.

1. Does the US have a responsibility to be a world police force?
We should't be worrying about countries that are bombing their own county. We should only become a police force if someone does something to us.

2. What roll should the UN play in enforcement?
They should know when it's the right time to get involved in "war-like" curcumstances, they should't just go looking for a fight. Let someone do something to us first then we can come back on them hard and heavy.

Because they can distroy not only many lives but the evnvironmnet around those lives.

The fathers actions show that he has a little bit of an anger issue and that he really isnt a good dad.
