Part I: James Stacey Taylor's article, "In Praise of Big Brother: Why We Should Learn to Stop Worrying and Love Government Surveillance" begins examining the concept of "Big Brother" as it was originally presented in George Orwell's 1984. Big Brother began as a fictional character in 1984: a dictator of Oceania within a totalitarian state. In a society where everyone is under complete surveillance by the authorities, especially through television screens, people are constantly reminded of this by the phrase “Big Brother is watching you” (Wikipedia). Taylor goes on to explain some examples of recent surveillance technology and how it is applied in today's life. An interesting note and a comparison between today's technology and that of television screens in 1984, is that people could be sure of not being watched by Big Brother television screens by leaving the cities to go to the countryside, where they just had to be careful that their conversations they were not monitored by hidden microphones (Taylor 227). He contrasts the two, highlighting the fact that “such an escape is not impossible, since spy satellites can be used to monitor people wherever they go” (277). From there, Taylor perpetuates the structure of his position on the concept of Big Brother. Taylor argues that, “rather than oppose such expansion of surveillance technology, its use should be encouraged – and not just in the public sphere” (227). Taylor's argument presented in a more formal construction is as follows:i. If it is ever morally permissible for the State to protect information about past events, then it is morally permissible for it to do so through the use of surveillance devices.ii. Is it morally permissible for the state to secure information on…half the paper…d rights-based and consequentialist views might only help his argument be fuller and more complete.Part IV: Overall, I agree with Taylor. Initially I didn't want to agree or praise the idea of ​​Big Brother. The idea of ​​constant surveillance worried me, but whatever concerns I had, he had already thought through and explained in depth how privacy would be covered in different scenarios. Clearly, his logic is foolproof, sound, and all major concerns have been covered and explained in his article. Works Cited "Big Brother (1984)". Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
