1. “Security, in a broader definition of the term, is considered as against unwanted foreign intrusion: defence of physical and psychological security, of economic interests of language and cultures” (Wallace, 2002).
2. Security also define as ‘a low probability of damage to acquired values’ broadens the minimal and problematic realist identification with survival by specifying the values meant to be protected when this latter is assured (Baldwin, 1997).
3. The security debate has for too long focused on military threats towards the state and the non traditional threat issues such as environment, trade, transnational crime, human security, etc. have not been seen as potential security threats (Deutsch et al., 1957). One important reason for

However, security is not necessarily linked to survival but rather to the possibility of freely pursuing independence or protecting basic internal interests. “Genuine security requires not only the absence of or protection against a military threat, but also the management of a multitude of risks concerning the political economic, and social well-being of states and their peoples” (Aftendorn, Keohane & Wallander, 1999).
5. Therefore, according to Baldwin, economic security, environmental security, identity security, social security and military security are different forms of security, not fundamentally different concepts” (Baldwin, 1997).
5. There were three dimenstions of national security have risen up recently. First one is the strategic dimension which usually the traitional security, for example military movement to defend country from external agreesion. The regime dimension is about the orevention from internal domestic conflict and fights. The last dimesion of national security covers the balance between a state‘s population and its resource management (food, water, living space) (Parnini, 2012).
6. Therefore, the exodus of Rohingyas generated these security dimensions in Bangladesh either by creating new security threats or by aggravating existing ones causing strained bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Myanmar (Jacobsen and Wilkenson,
The Patriot Act is one of today’s most controversial laws. The law’s official name is the USA PATRIOT Act, which stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. The law was passed in 2001 after the September Eleventh terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The act greatly increased the power of the government in preventing terrorism, but it also increased the amount of surveillance that the government performs on citizens.
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the Anthrax scare of 2001, Congress moved with tremendous force to make new powers for the federal government to prevent future terrorism. The most extensive effort was the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (nicknamed the USA Patriot Act) of 2001, signed into law on October 26, less than six weeks after the attacks on 9/11. The legislation granted additional wiretapping and surveillance authority to federal law enforcement, removed barriers between law enforcement and intelligence agencies, added financial disclosure and reporting requirements to stop terrorist funding, and gave greater authority to the
Presidents use rhetoric to persuade U.S. security and advance national interests. Former President Bush used increasingly strong language after the September 11, 2001 attacks to create a war-like aporia. And that Former President Bush’s rhetoric set the limits of discursive definition that created the parameters of thought regarding the issue of terrorism. Whereby, using venture constitutionalism to promote U.S. security and to advance national interests. Jeffrey Tulis (1996) makes claim that Former President Woodrow Wilson transformed the presidency and the government by advocating an executive that governed by persuasion and popular leadership.
After the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, the United States government reacted quickly and firmly with the USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism). The purpose of this act was to prevent another terror attack of the same magnitude as the 9/11 attack, but some people believe this act encroaches too heavily on civil rights. The USA PATRIOT Act (Patriot Act) threatens liberty more than it hinders terrorism, goes against the Constitution, and needs to be modified so it doesn’t breach the Constitution. The USA PATRIOT Act interferes with the liberties of companies and people in the United States while doing more to impact lawful Americans than terrorists.
The Patriot Act was created in response of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the US. The USA Patriot Act was passed by the United States Government and signed by former President George on October 26, 2001. The Act was passed around in many areas in House of Congress and was supported by the both Republican and Democratic parties. (Jenks) In the year of this law being processed there was huge discussions regarding the pros and cons of this bill.
Subsequent, to the September 11th,2001 terrorist attacks, the Department of Justice proposed The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act) to prevent future terroristic attacks. According to Preserving Life and Liberty article, the PATRIOT ACT has played an imperative part in “a number of successful operations to protect innocent Americans from plans of terrorist dedicated to destroying America and our way of life.” Further, Rosemary Jenks emphases in her article “A Summary of the Anti-Terrorism Law’s Immigration – Related Provision” that the PATRIOT Act focuses mainly on “reinforcing the arsenal of tools available to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and federal prosecutors for identifying and disabling terrorist networks operating both
Kaylin Konobeck The Federalist, also known as The Federalist Papers, are a series of eighty-five documents written by John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. These documents were written and displayed in various newspapers in an effort to get voters to formally accept the United States Constitution. The Federalist was eventually published in a book in 1788. The purpose of the ratification of the United States Constitution was to ultimately replace the failed Articles of Confederation. There was a large amount of controversy surrounding the documents and the principles that the constitution held.
The National Security Agency also known as the NSA, it's an intelligent organization of the United States government who monitors foreign countries and collects information of people. The NSA is economically beneficial towards the government of the United States some reasons consist of the prevention of dangerous terrorist attacks, funding's in the government, and the prevention of hackers taking over the system. Though at the same time the NSA should be stopped because they have invaded the privacy of many people without their consents. Currently, the United States has been facing terrorist attack, which has caused many deaths and tragedies not only to the United States but as well towards the world.
Although the Patriot Act presents virtually many positives, the overall aspect of its existence is detrimental to the citizens of the United States as a whole. Originally being passed in order to protect the country from acts of terrorism, the specificities of the Patriot Act were never underlined which has since led to a much more generalized definition of what legal actions can be pursued on the basis of the Act. Essentially, the Patriot Act should be abolished because it infringes on constitutional rights of citizens, it lacks effectiveness in its goal, and the manner in which it was passed makes you question whether or not it was fully thought through. The Founding Fathers created the Constitution in order to protect the rights of citizens
The moment that the Twin Towers fell in New York, America became destined for change. In the wake of these attacks, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 was quickly passed through congress, and signed by then-president, George W. Bush. The act itself gives the FBI and other government agencies the ability to do and use certain methods, many of which are already used by other law enforcement organizations, to help prevent future terrorist attacks. Since then, this piece of legislation has been the center of much debate and controversy. But, there is ample reason to believe that the Patriot Act is needed and effective.
Since the foundation of this country its people have identified more with their State and local government than the Federal Government. The Federal Government is look upon with suspicion and distrust. When the Constitution of the United States was written, the Founding Fathers were very careful to create a government that will not dominate and obliviate the local governments. The Revolutionary War was indeed a Civil War fought against a tyrannical centralized government. The founders of this country wanted to be sure that this tyranny was not present in the laws and functions of this new nation.
Military Presence From the United States There are many measures we must take and sacrifices we must make to ensure the safety and comfort within our nation, however, sometimes we must look at the precautions we are taking and wonder whether or not our methods are effective, reasonable, or even ethical. Although we need to protect our country, war and a strong military presence create more violence, communication barriers, and havoc than necessary or ideal. In the world today, the United States already has a strong military presence in foreign countries and within the borders of our own, but this often interferes with other political and public affairs and does more harm than good, such as delaying communications between nations and keeping
Safety and security has gone back to members we used to call the “watchman” who were some of the first figures we started to develop as law enforcement figures to keep the society safe (Schmalleger 6). This is so important in today 's world as it tries to sure up fairness for life, land, and the pursuit of happiness, as it states in the United States’ Declaration of independence. This is such an important concept to have in our society as the US became somewhat of a model for the rest of the world after our declaration. This need for safety and security also stretches into the reasons for why we have our military. For obvious reason as keeping our country safe to the reasons of us still interacting in other countries to allow them and their people work towards having a fair system of which they can feel safe and secure.
The security is overriding to improve the nation, now day security is increasing to control the terrorism. NSA Surveillance one of the agencies that provide intelligent records to the American government. Although leaking out personal information making the American uncomfortable and people started getting freak out. “I am not trying to bring down the NSA, I am working to improve the NSA. I am still working for the NSA right now.
National Security in the 21st Century will encompass threats ranging from fraud, corruption, illegal migration, transnational crime and environmental degradation. One could consider seven broad subject areas of focus, economic security, food security, health and environment security, personal security and community security. The new threats to national security will come from emerging issues like terrorism, oil and gas depletion, environmental concerns, including climatic alterations, HIV/AIDS and over-population.
