Final Post Problem Statement PART 2

Explain the ethical and/or political goal(s) of your social action project. Explain its ethical and/or political significance as your collaborative considers what it hopes to achieve. (250 words)

• The first political goal our social action group hopes to achieve is the goal of getting 25,000 electronic signatures on a petition that our group creates to limit and restrict NSA spying.
•  If this is achieved then the petition we create will be sent to the government.
• The point of passing a petition like this is to inform the government of how the public feels about their initial constitutional rights violated by NSA spying. Overall if the government were to reject the petition the point would be to send a message
• Looking at the bigger picture, if our petition is passed, ultimately we will have achieved a much larger goal, that of actual initiating the start of a petition that puts restrictions on NSA spying.
• If our petition where to not reach 25,000 signatures the smaller goal to our Social Action project would simply be to raise awareness about NSA spying through both the effort our petition, and social media.
• We want to inform the public of how we feel about the government spying and persuade others to feel the same as us.
• The overall ethical goal of this project is to protect the individual’s privacy.The ethical significance to proceeding with this project is to protect our privacy rights that the constitution granted us that have been violated after George W Bush implemented the president surveillance program. It is against our rights for the government to target millions of innocent American’s privacy without a warrant. The whole point of living in America is to have your “Freedom”, which the government is specifically violating. This is why we want to limit NSA spying, we want to bring America back to it’s roots, to the great country it used to be.
