Surveillance in Rhetoric and Media

 

Does surveillance take away from First Amendment rights, freedom of speech and opinion? I think it regulates this notion of human rights. It may not take away from speech and opinion but gives more to say and do when it comes to a community or network of people. What we practice and say are completely two different things. Most citizens require surveillance in their neighborhoods and businesses in order to regulate behavior. Not only in stores but in online communities as well.


Mass Media Coverage

Society gets their information from local newspaper and from news coverages throughout the day. We depend on these media outlets to know important information as well as how to live. We hold this information to be truth, that we can positively know what to do and how to act in certain situations. Alert systems maintain the highest security. With surveillance in and around someone's home to catch perpetrator and thieves. Police may record how the perpetrator acts to determine why or how.


Rhetoric and secrecy and surveillance

Many wartimes veterans had to keep quiet of their accolades and training regimes in order to surveillance the community the way they wanted to. Political secrecy used rhetoric to execute their desires to tame or take over the world. Either way it go, secrecy in politics and leadership is something of commonality. Rhetoric underlines the secrecy and persuasion of speeches, visual images, and written communication according to Rhetorical Approaches to Secrecy.



We are exposed to new things because of topics that are not talked about on news coverages or newspapers. Surveillance accompanies a world-wide account of civil liberty.

The way we live, work, and play in society all comes from public surveillance.


Ethos of surveillance

Many companies used surveillance to target behavior and thievery. Managers investigate these acts with proper surveillance. As the same with legality of surveillance, governments use surveillance to monitor health problems of their citizens to know how to treat symptoms.

Hi, my name is Arielle. I love to tell you all about me. Currently,
I am a first- year grad student. I love to write and tell stories to
all those who listens. I love to speak to individuals who yearns
for my experiences. I love to communicate. I work and support
my fifteen-year-old son, who is thrilled to be a college kid.
I also love to read, anything from science-fiction to tales of
womanhood and grace.

 

I find that the Digital world has helped
me become the person I am today. With podcasts and audible,
I can dream of new theories on many different subjects.
I will analyze readings and offer thorough insight on major
readings from this course. I look forward to reading you guy's
thoughts on the same issues that forces us to think digitally
for all audience types. As a student I value what has come
of the digital world. ​

As a writer, I have learned the history behind 

digital material and technology, for the use of written language and 

document design. As I get to know the digital lingo, I want to become 

a professional in the digital era. I strive to know what goes here and 

how do I make these two things work all for document design and 

written presentations. ​

I am on a remarkable journey, to establish myself and use efficient communication that will enlighten and help future leaders of America. As a scholar, in academia, I want to create innovative techniques for published works, whether it's for the arts or a simple guide for document designers. Currently as a technical writer student, I will learn the basics of design principles and rhetoric composition both online and on paper. I strive to establish myself for my career goals in Technical Communication. ​

I want to bring to the workplace my story and my journey so that I may be equipped for future company goals and engagement. I believe Digital Technology has evolved to where users can put any idea onto a digital space.
