Government surveilance

A very popular topic is that of government surveillance. People tend to think that the government has the ability and abuses the ability to keep surveillance on its citizens.  There is no doubt in my mind that our government has the ability to view the person lives of each and everyone in the world, there are hackers that are able to hack into peoples webcams and view peoples lives what is there to stop the government from doing it. Now many people begin to get upset knowing this possibility, but my view on it is that there should be no problem with it. If you sit and actually think about it you could see that it could be for the good. Why would people be afraid of the government being able to see personal information, unless people were hiding something potential illegal activity? But again the government should have a system set up just like they do on social media, on peoples phone calls, and text messages where there are red flags every time “hot words” are used that trigger off warnings depending on how serious the trigger is. My class is doing a project on government surveillance. Our main goal is to allow people the opportunity to become more aware of the situation so they can be more careful with what they share online regarding their personal information. We plan to hang posters in our student center, take surveys, and hopefully get a speaker who is knowledgeable on the topic to come in and speak.
