Home SurveillanceElizabeth MahanSOC 120 Introduction to Ethics and Social ResponsibilityInstructor: Cari Lynn Beecham-BautistaJune 29, 2015HOME SURVEILLANCEIntroductionThe Merriam-Webster dictionary defines domestic as "relating to or made in one's country " ”. The word surveillance is defined as “the act of closely watching someone or something, especially for the purpose of preventing or detecting a crime.” Therefore, the term domestic surveillance, in its simplest terms, can be defined as the government's ability to protect its interests by monitoring its residents. In this article we will look at the pros and cons of home surveillance, as well as classic ethical theories. While some may agree with home surveillance, others believe it is unconstitutional and that the government should not be allowed to use electronics to monitor its residents.Home SurveillanceThere have been classics. Providing examples of theories and perspectives allows a person to reflect and weigh the pros and cons of home surveillance or any situation rather than it being political or personal. Although examining ethical theories gives us a clear reason as to why such monitoring is done, this does not mean that there is a definitive solution. Therefore, there is the unfortunate fact that with any theory there will have to be a trade-off between some level of privacy and a strong sense of internal security. Bibliography Geenwald, G.
