Question

Define and describe the ethics of privacy and freedom as enacted by the main characters in Little Brother. In responding to this question, you will first have to define and describe (using examples from the book) the way the novel portrays “right” and “wrong” in terms of issues related to privacy and issues related to freedom. These are big ideas so don’t feel like you have to define the ethics of privacy and freedom for all time – your task is to use examples from the book to justify your argument for how Doctorow is defining these ethics. Then, once you have identified and supported these examples, your task is to discuss what that might mean. You could do that by comparing Doctorow’s ethics to your own or to your perception of what seems right or wrong in the US today. (600-800 words) Little Brother By Corey Doctorow

Explanation / Answer

In Little Brother book its clearly state about the privacy or security kind things which people are facing
now a days. So what are the privacy and freedom people wants and think about is all matters most.

So in this noval state's that it is a mature contemporary noval that looks at the problems of the security
now a days and near the future that doesnt seem too far from present days or today.

When san franciso is attacked by terrorists and the hacker marcus and this friends are playing outside and because of the proximity to the attack and their background as hackers, marcus and his friends got cotted and detained and questioned by the home line security police team.

But for some reasons marcus got free and he finds the new restrictions places in the internet and in the banner of
world security issues and problems whether it might be the secure thing or not secure.
Marcus solved out and restore his true freedom and take out the offence against him from the Homeland Security people.

In the noval "Little Brother" they dont feel shy about the big questions. While this novel is set in a non-defined near future, Doctorow is clearly saying and talking about the ways and things means used today to keep our country and world safe & secure from the next terror attack.

So at one point i realise the security, freedom and safety of people is very important in the city or in country so is that tradeoff worth it in the long run?
By so many reasons behind the security thing The Doctorow's story of Marcus and his fight against the larger Big Brother is fascinating and terrifying all at the same time. so by reading the story, I realize how much of our basic, assumed freedoms have been abridged all in the name of security and safety.

Doctorow also takes this opportunity to provide readers an education of security systems and computer programming in coming days or in future
So its easily could have been some of the driest portions of the novel, Doctorow is able to give the reader some insight and knowledge, which may leave you curious to pursue more information on the inventors and security methods.

So in my point of view and by taking the example decisions of marcus i realise that security is very important in big City called US.
By securing the data and security issues in airport or in some other places. we can restrict the chances of getting terror attacks.

And also i can state that too much of security also might be a problem now a days because people might think the gov or home line security people douting the people and by this reason there might be insecure feeling in people.

So we protect our valuables and our loved ones by investing in a security system. While a security system is a financial commitment, it’s also an investment. A home security system is the smartest way to protect our investments and family and to calm our anxieties about potential break-ins.

So by using the modern technology, we can also get some features that go beyond basic security control of our lights, appliances, and locks from your smartphone, receive an alert when our kids arrive home from school, or check on our pets via a live video surveillance feed.

By using technology in right way. we can secure the data and home line security data and even in all police organisations. Taking the needful security precautions and taking the followup activities of securtity. Poeple feel more like having freedom and safe in the country.
