This political cartoon shows how the first two guys, have been sentenced time in prison for exposing the NSA secrets. It's showing the bad side of them instead of the good. At times Whistle Blowers, do a good because they find out secrets of what the NSA does to citizens, or what they want to do to them, the NSA is being congratuated for spying on us, when that's not good at all.
In the Crucible, When John Proctor tried the expose Abigail and the girls for performing witchcraft they denied it and made a plan to make other people in the community feel bad for her, just like the NSA. When Edward Snow leaked on what the NSA was doing, they quickly denied it and even tried to pull some dirt on Edward Snowden to get him to be in trouble instead of them.
Whistleblowers are good for society because it can help prevent different issues like safety or in companies. Even with protection, whistleblowers are not protected from coworkers or others or even with harassment issues that are being reported. However, as whistleblowers become more widespread and accepted in our society, new people are training to understand whistleblowing policies and procedures. So by this, we can say that whistleblowers seem less dangerous and they can be protected.
I like how you say they could be good for society, but what if they were to release more dangerous information like military plans? Would the United States be more in danger then before?
ReplyDeleteIf they were to release more dangerous information the United States might be in danger because the information could be brought into the wrong hands. But it can also help the Citizens prepare themselves for any danger directed at the U.S

ReplyDeleteI agree with your idea that whistle blowers are good for society because society should know about everything that goes on in our country that affects us
ReplyDeleteYou need to clarify what you are saying. This does not make sense.

DeleteIf the NSA is violating our rights, whistle blowers should be allowed to expose them, because they are showing us the the truth behind our government.Spying on us like we're criminals and we don't deserve to be treated this way. Whistle blowers shouldn't be prosecuted for the governments stupidity. I sometimes get scared about what I talk about to friends on the phone, because I still get the feeling that they are listening to me. I want to feel safe in my country and I do not feel safe all.
ReplyDeleteThere are some errors in this post but this overall post is interesting. I like the idea that you have about the whistleblowers and how they don't deserve to be punished for exposing the NSA's unjust plans. They are just showing what is wrong with the NSA. Nice post
