REQUIRED QUESTIONS (WHITEHEAD & SNYDER)

Question 3. WHITEHEAD (chapters 26 and 27 mostly, though do read through to the end of the book)

Reflect on what Whitehead has to say about the increasing role and merger of corporations and the government, particularly the role that Google has played, from its inception to today. Although many argue that the advent, development, and widespread reach of the Internet has been very beneficial in terms of the ability to access lots of different kinds of information at our human fingertips on a 24/7 basis, others, including Whitehead, have asserted that the flip side has presented us with a very foreboding, bleak picture: that of an invisible machine with far-reaching tentacles into our lives, including our very consciousness.

In Chapter 26, Whitehead tells his readers that, [a]s we shall see, no less powerful and potentially destructive to the human race are modern-day surveillance and robotic technologies, manufactured by corporations working in tandem with government agencies. These are the building blocks of the global electronic concentration camp encircling us all, and Google, in conjunction with the NSA, has set itself up as a formidable warden.

HERE’S THE QUESTION!: Where will all this technology take us? (which is what Whitehead asks his readers). Answer this question and use an example of the technology Whitehead discusses in Chapter 27 in your response.

Question 4. SNYDER (chapter 19)

Questioning the actions and motives of the government is something that is woven into the fabric of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. However, today, questioning official government narratives will earn one the conspiracy theorist label, which was placed intentionally into the American vernacular by the CIA to shut down any competing narratives to the Warren Commission Report following JFKs assassination. The same can be said about 9/11, for example. Questioning these official narratives is unpatriotic at best, bordering on treason at its worst.

In this chapter, entitled Be a Patriot, Snyder encourages his readers to [s]et a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it (p. 111). Snyder also claims that being a patriot is not the same as being a nationalist.

HERES THE QUESTION! What do you think about that claim? What do the words patriot and patriotism mean to you?

• In order to respond to these pressing social problems our communities are facing, in what ways will the American criminal justice system have to adapt in order
