Please answer the following question(s):
Related to Question #2b in the Case Study from Module 2 regarding the NSA case study (on p.93):
1. Who should decide where the balance is between transparency and the need for secrecy? 2. How should or can citizens be involved in deciding where this balance rests?
The above question was part of your 2b in the Case Study that you completed in Module 2. Please provide your thoughts on the two aspects listed above in blue and then read and respond to your peers to see and understand their thoughts.
This is intended to be a discussion that allows you to see other viewpoints.
Reminder: Initial discussion is due by Tuesday @ midnight and peer responses are due by Thursday @ midnight.Online discussions will be posted in CANVAS. You will a) post a response to the weekly discussion topic and b) respond to three (3) different peers and their discussion posts. Unless otherwise instructed, the parameters for a student’s postings and replies are 200-750 words. Please keep the word count for postings and replies succinct, and not repetitive, while fully answering and asking questions as appropriate. Post these responses in the designated portion of CANVAS (do not attach a Word Document). The purpose of these parameters is to promote writing that is both thorough and concise. As a rule of thumb, your responses to the questions should involve thoughtful reflections on the issues and topical examples rather than regurgitating facts and details in the reading.
When posting to the discussion boards please ensure you follow proper etiquette. Posts should be well thought out and courteous. It is important to use proper grammar and avoid text slang and shortcuts. Posts should be substantial, and replies should be constructive. It is ok to disagree but replies need to be courteous and hold evidence as to why one thinks that way. The process should be thought-provoking and supportive of different viewpoints. Understanding multiple viewpoints is indicative of true knowledge.
