A totally protective government is a government which goes to extraordinary measures and controls a large amount of power so that it can successfully monitor and “protect” its citizens. While I believe that the government has a responsibility to protect its citizens to the best of its ability, I also believe that it is vital to a free society that a government not become overly powerful over the people. The people must be more powerful than the government and in a protective government, hyper surveillance is required for a totally protective government to be able to operate. Pre crime would have prevented the Las Vegas shooting because they could have seen the murders ahead of time and they could have prepared to stop the shooter.

Define Term: An endorsement of technology by society means that society is accepting and approving the use of technology that is being used. An endorsement is a form of public support or approval. In the movie Minority Report society in Washington DC endorsed all the different technology that was being used by the pre crime unit. Should this term be used as part of the society? I think that endorsement of technology by society should be used by society. I think this because technology is constantly growing and society needs to support it for the most part. The technology that we have today to help us with our everyday tasks would not be here if society had not supported it. I think when the technology will only end up causing negative effects on society we should not endorse it. Recent events in the news: I think that if this technology had been in place the parkland high school shooting would not have occurred. I think the the pre crime unit could have predicted that the gu...

The Profit vs Shark Tank Fiona Willman

Personally, I like The Profit better because Marcus Lemonis is there for you every step of the way. He is guaranteed to help your business grow and expand throughout the country. He takes a hands-on approach. Considering my product, I would rather work with Marcus Lemonis. Eventually, I would like to expand my company and put my product in major stores around the country instead of only online. I feel like he would help me more because he would be alongside of me the whole time. He is not only looking for money to make, he actually wants to help me with my business. One major difference between Marcus Lemonis and the investors on Shark Tank is the purpose of both of these shows. In my opinion, the purpose of Shark Tank is to highlight the negotiations. As in, what the product is. On The Profit, the purpose is to get the business to the next level and they show that all the way throughout the episode.

1)An infallible police state is when the police do not make any mistakes. The whole process of handling crime is perfect and no has no flaws. The police system in Minority Report is said to be infallible by the people who live in the area. The administrators and everyone who works at the police department think that their method is flawless because the murder and crime rate has decreased drastically since they began using this system. 2)I don’t think that this should be used in our society because it is not flawless. The creator of the system herself said that the whole thing is very flawed and that innocent people have had their lives taken away because of this. I think that there is a lot of room for error with this system. People do not always act upon what they are thinking and the whole future telling thing can’t always be so reliable. John Anderton, the chief of the whole department, was a victim of the whole method himself. John was set up by Lamar so that he would kill the m...
