Who Is Brutally Honest: Is It Ok To Spy On Your Kids?
Brutally Honest: is it OK to spy on your kids? Sure, as a parent you would like to know what your child is doing but is spying the answer? I believe it is not ok to “spy” in general. I do however believe it is ok for you to know what your child is up to.
To begin with a lot depends on your definition of “spy”. Weather you think spying on your kids is acceptable in today’s digital age or a breach of trust really depends on how you define “spying” in the first place (line 3, 4). Take a moment and define spy in your own words. In my opinion spying is a form of disrespect! Being because you lack the trust of someone.
Now when if ever is it ok for you to spy on your boy or girl? Were I to become suspicious about his actions or fearful of his safety,

    Rhetorical Analysis: A Third Party Invasion

    If someone told you “You are being watched every time you use digital communications, “how would you feel? The majority of people would probably feel discomfort. Sadly, you are being watched by the National Security Agency or NSA. While they allegedly keep us safe, the NSA shouldn't continue to monitor everyone’s digital communications. It gets every tax paying citizens money involved. They violate an amendment of the constitution. Likewise, there is a major loss of privacy. They simply have access to too much information.

    C1-Analyse the Issues Which Are Essential to Confidentiality and Objective Observation

    Lastly, another issue surrounding confidentiality is that parents should have rights of access. This means that parents need to give permission for the observation to take place and keep relevant information and documents. Furthermore, parents should be able to ask to see observations at any time. However, they cannot have access if the observer feels the child is in danger and therefore they have the right to withdraw the parent’s access to these files.…

    When assessing a child/young person we must be careful to take in to account confidentiality before carrying out any observations. Within my setting, we have an Welcome pack (aka Induction Pack) with lots of forms for the parents to sign which gives us permission to observe them and the child/children with in the assessment centre. All of the confidential material surrounding the parents and children are locked away in a secure cabinet in the office so no unauthorised access…

    Next, I would make the effort in trying to clean up his mistakes to cover both of us. First, I would try and locate the parents to have the interrogation done, so they could be present with their children while I question them. I wouldn’t allow myself to make the decision of video tapping the interrogation knowing that they are under age, and also with the parents not being present. If this option wasn’t able to be taken place at that time, I would probably seek higher authority for solutions on how to handle the matter. By doing this I probably would influence the risk…

    Indivdual Assignment

    Big Brother surveillance was developed to ensure safety through-out the world. Many companies have placed these surveillance cameras in places such as light poles, parking lots, street light, telephone pole, and even malls. They are placed to view the movement of the citizens. The Big Brother theory of surveillance is pervasive snooping and monitoring shouldn’t frighten innocent people, it should only make lawbreakers nervous because they are the only ones with something to hide. This to many could be considered as a possible violation of their civil liberties, however, I do not considered that to be an issue. I feel safer because it doe protect from crime. In many instances, these cameras have been the voice of citizens whom have been victims of various crimes. For this, I know that many families are grateful. Knowing that anything I type, send electronically could be reconstructed and it could also be used to judge my lawfulness or my character, surely doe prompt me to be very careful of what I am sending. In today’s society, your “word” and character is basically all that one needs to form an opinion of you. You would surely want these things to be positive. “And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest” (Luke 8:15). With anything…

    The Undercover Parent Analysis

    For example, according to Ellen Goodman, author of Big Brother meets Big Mother and is also so happens to be against the use of spyware, claims, “A company inauspiciously named Bladerunner has begun selling a jacket with a GPS device sewn into the lining.” This invasion of privacy exposes the location of the user of the jacket. Your location is part of your privacy and it should not matter to anyone else unless you want to disclose it to them. A built in GPS into clothing will fully disclose your location without your permission. Another reason why spyware is an invasion of privacy is because even a simple question like “who are you talking to?” or “who are you texting?” or even “who was that?” is a very touchy subject to teens and kids. If these small questions make kids and teens uncomfortable, just imagine how uncomfortable it would be to be tracking, spying and watching them 24/7. In total, the use of spyware is a huge invasion of privacy, even though it is an essential right that is guaranteed to…

    Right to Spy on Citizens: Is It Justified?

    The government most definitely should not have the right to spy on its citizens. Even if it was to supposedly secure our country's freedom, it is doing nothing but taking away freedoms from its own people. It would be conflicting for our country to say that they are trying to secure our freedoms by spying on the citizens. Recent classified documents leaked by Edward Snowden (Former CIA and NSA employee) proved that the government has indeed been spying on its citizens. If the country is free, it does not need to be spied on and watched on all the time. That is what makes us unique from different nations. The prospect of protecting and defending your average citizen's rights should be its number one goal. If the government should choose to spy on its citizens, the trust between the two is broken. I believe that for a society to function properly, there should be a level of trust between the government and its people, and without it either end could abuse its power and lead to chaos. If the government censors or spies on the people, it would seem as though those freedoms are being violated and taken away. If the people in the country are not free, how can the government assure the country’s freedom through spying? In the Constitution, people are given freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom to bear arms, and just freedom to live their lives. Why would the government go against that, and spy on their own people? People are granted human rights and citizenship, so to spy on people will be injustice. In a sense, the government is spying on their selves, as they are humans too. They are contradicting themselves as lawmakers, and if they are to bring peace and freedom in this world, spying on their fellow citizens, won’t help. It doesn’t make any sense, as the United States of America is proclaimed to be “The Land of the Free.” If we are simply living in “The Land of the…
