I chose to focus my analysis on Edward Snowden and his disclosure of classified domestic surveillance documents. When the leak first came out‚ I was upset at the thought of my privacy being violated by the NSA. However‚ the feeling dissipated when I considered the protection making that sacrifice affords. The NSA‚ like many organizations‚ are sometimes faced with ethical dilemmas. Occasionally‚ there is no right answer. Thus‚ the decision made‚ while not ideal‚ is the lesser of evils. In his TED

Edward Snowden had taken asylum in Russia because of the information he had leaked to the public which proved that the NSA was spying on Americans. The U.S. government wanted every country that Snowden was in at the time‚ that they knew of‚ to extradite him to the United States. Not a single country would do so. He did not leak any secrets or put anyone’s lives in danger but of course those in the government claimed that he did. But the government would not produce any evidence that would prove that

Plymouth Plantation‚ and Jonathan Edwards’ sermon‚ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” show two very Puritan points of view‚ but how the points of view are shown is extremely different. Bradford’s journal shows how a group of Puritans traveled to America and their journey in survival‚ all by God’s good graces. The sermon by Edwards tries to show those who have not stayed with the Puritan religion that without God‚ they are a disgrace to Him. Bradford and Edwards both have a main goal of showing

In his “Meditation One‚” Taylor compares “God’s Matchless Love” to water‚ saying that it fills “Heaven to the Brim!” Then‚ in his “The Reflection‚” Taylor says “Earth” was once a “Paradise of Heaven.” In both instances‚ Edward Taylor calls one thing something to help emphasize the message he is trying to portray‚ but ultimately‚ his metaphor in “Meditation One” is more effective as it reflects a greater idea.
