Do some research on whistle blowing and Wikileaks. Do you feel that what Julian Assange was performing a service that was beneficial to our country? Keep in mind that information releases by folks like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden helped change the way the government does business. Were there other ways to facilitate positive changes without putting sensitive information out here for the world to see? Is there a way to use your compass to morally justify the actions of Manning and/or Snowden? Be sure to apply at least one ethical system in depth, including application of at least 4 specific aspects of that system.
