There has been a growing concern about whether the government should be authorized to keep the information they wish. Attitudes toward this statement vary from person to person. Some people may agree it, while others are against it. As far as I am concerned, I think taking nationaal security into consideration, government should have the right to access their citizens’ library checkout and Internet Active history because although it is known that as a citizen, every one should obey laws and regulations, some people still want to realize their goals by threatening national interests. Under such conditions, it is necessary for government to be authorized to prevent these people from doing harm to nation security.
The main reason that can be presented to support my point is that government has the responsibility to protect national security. The government represents the general will of most citizens and in a democratic society, obeying laws and reguations help citizens pursue their real interests. But if some individuals disobey laws to do harm to other ones or even national security, governments should be responsible for protecting nations and their citizens from harm. A good example can be found in the case that international terrorists are more and more using the interent to communicate with other and broadcast some horrible information because the internet is open to every one. Under such circumstances, to trace terrorists, it is obvious that certain government department should have rights to get access the history record of some people.
Another reason why governments should be authorized to have the access to their citizens’ Internet Activity history is based on the built-in characteristics of human being. Such is human nature that they are short-sighted that they are more likely to sacrifices other’s interests for the priviledge of their own sake. Left to their own devices, they are willing to act according to their short-term motives and self-interest.
For instance, some people sell confidential information about countries to earn money. Without keeping their selling record, it is hard to prove that they are criminal and get relevant punishment.
Finally, those people who advocate unbridled free individual expression may point out that the right of free speech is intrinsic to a democratic society and necessary to its surival and checking the Interenet record may cause the infringement of free speech. Even so, the right is not absolute. The interests served by checking the Internaitona Active record are more crucial to the existence of a country. The societal interest in protecting its citizens from potiental harm take precedence over the rights of individuals to threaten national security.
In sum, it is in our best interest as a society for the government to censor the behavior and lanuage that may threaten our national security. Such behavior and lanuage tend to harm society and its citizens in ways that are worth preventing, even in light of the resulting infringement of our right of free speech. |
