Hi everybody... today I’m going to talk about an article that appeared in the journal The Guardian. The title of this piece of news is “Government anti-terrorism strategy spies on innocent” and it’s about the steps taken by the British government to face terrorism, especially Muslim extremist terrorism. You might think and say that all countries must be aware and take care of this problem, but, as the title says, the solution found by the British government affects innocent people that have nothing to do with terrorism. The steps taken involve the use of spy strategies to get data about aspects like economic, religion, health, sexual behaviour and some other kind of information that totally violate the human right of privacy.
From the Anthropology point of view, it’s necessary to understand that we are talking about a different culture that sometimes strongly differ from our own, and at the same time, it isn’t possible to make moral or valoric judgements because they live from a different point of view. Instead go judging it’s necessary to find the similarities and differences that may be useful to comprehend why we see these acts like pure violence and terrorism. We have to go beyond this glimpse and be able to accept all those differences that make our lifes richer; in fact, I think that is totally necessary to accept the cultural diversity instead of following just the trends that come from globalized countries, this will lead us to have a new perspectives and solutions for these kind of struggles.
