blog 10:essay#3

 The movie Minority Report is mainly about how peoples privacy and life are being violated in the sense that everything they do or are going to do is predicted by 3 precogs ang that information is used against them.This doesnt only happen in movies but it also takes place in our life such as just talking on the phone which is one of the many ways in which our privacy is invaded and violated as well.Many people believe that its just done in order to  keep us safe but others believe we have the rights to our privacy.My position on this issue regarding unethical means, and violating individualss rights which goes against out human rights should not be allowed.
    There are so many reasons why i am opposed to this,one of them is that it just goes against our rights and morals.We have the right to have privacy in our own home and in other places.I dont believe its right for any individual to be treated like a criminal or anything of that matter by having to question them just because they are from a different race,religion or color of skin i honestly find it offensive to embarrass them in front of people whom make judgements or put that person in a category bcause they are beinfg accused of committing a crime because the description fits you just cannot go bya persons appearance or ethnicity its racist.One article that talks about this is the "Towards international principle on communications surveillance which was written by Gus Hosen on Nov 21,2012 he says"No one should be subjected to arbitrary interferencewith his/her privacy,family,home or correspondence,nor to attacks on his/her honor or reputation.Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks"in other words individuals privacy should be respected.
    The main significant threat to peoples privacy violation would have to be communication surveillance.It is known that there are different groups that defend our rightsto privacy such as the (PI) which stands for Privacy International their job is to protect the rights across the world,and also fight communication surveillance and other sorts of intrusion into individuals privatwe life by the governments and this also includes corporations as well.This group also have campaigns for individuals right to secure their communications by using cryptography this presents many methods for taking legible,readable information that changes it back into itsoriginal form so that it can be readable.Another group involved in this is the international Convenan on Civil Political Rights whom also made a statement article 17 which also gives egveryone the right to the protection of laws against surveillance.
    The next article that talks about this as well was written by Marie A. Wright  this article is the "Computer Fraud&Privacy" its about the 9/11 attack and also on Washington because of this government has been forced to make anti-terrorism law that has been passed,and their previous enacted.The laws on this are contraversial which calls for further search and also it increases communications surveillance by violating individuals rights.I believe that if the govrnment keeps on violating our right which  this will lead to other violations.Even though i also think that yes the government should protect us but in a different way besides getting involved in our private life. 
   These are some of the reasons why iam against privacy violation.Its our life and we have the right whether to live in a place in which our every move in known or to live in a society that respects individuals.
