Vanessa Newman-"To assure our country's freedom, the government should be able to spy on its citizens"
i disagree. i say this because i think that if everyone has freedom then they shouldn't be spied on. i feel that privacy is also apart of freedom because the citizens should be able to feel comfortable with living in their country without worrying that the government is watching their every move. in 1984, they have "BIG BROTHER" everywhere, according to Winston. Winston feels hatred because he thinks BIG BROTHER is watching him.

I disagree with this post. A government is made by the citizens for the citizens. If the government believes that spying on its citizens will ensure that the greater population is protected, they should be able to do so. The government is not taking away one's freedom by spying. By doing this, it allows the government to get a better perspective on what is best for the citizen and allows for change to occur. You mentioned that citizens would not feel secure if the government spied on them but if the citizen has nothing to hide and believes that their government is there to serve them, this should not be a problem.
