Argumentative Essay On Drones

In recent years, drones have begun to do jobs that we didn’t think was possible. Soon, you may find a drone in front of your home, carrying the pepperoni pizza you ordered 20 minutes ago, or see drones putting out a fire in your neighborhood. Now, drones are being used as soldiers in our war against terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, these drones have caused many problems for the U.S. over the years. The use of drones fighting for us causes more problems than actually fixing them (Source A)

Drones are an effective counter insurgency tool deployed extensively throughout the world, especially by clandestine intelligence organizations often with the help of the country’s respective Air Force. Not only do they serve as an effective weapon, they minimize human

Drones are the biggest problems in the United States due to all the issues that it causes. A drone is a small manless aircraft driven by someone on the ground, it usually comes with a camera attached which can record live video or take pictures. Some citizens think that drones are beneficial to both the community and farmers while others think that it is the biggest problem to one’s safety and privacy. Drones should be banned in the United States due to them causing privacy issues, pose danger to pilots near airports, and causing issues with firefighters battling wildfires.

Drones are the future for U.S. warfare whether you like it or not. As terrifying as this sounds, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The topic of drones being used in war has been fueled for quite some time now and is only raising more arguments with advancing technology. It is understandable why people are frightened by visualization of an army of drones flying overhead to go to war, but this should not be the case. Drones are the way for future military use and there should not be an argument against drones specifically.

            First, we have heard that the new of the united states presence talking about the Middle East, you will hear a topic very frequently worry with drone recognition. The government will be involved in the process of trying to use drone technology in warfare. We have read information about the usages of drone missiles attacks on bad people with was done by drones.  In warfare, the usage of drone technology will be increasing. “Now drones are not gathering information, but are used to operate in combat “(“The uav”, 2012, P1).  With the use of advances in technology quickly being developed, companies are now starting to develop an opportunity to size them. They are starting to build their own things to use for was but also for people in today’s world (Wolfgang, 2012, P1). Next, drones which are known as UAVs (Un-manned Aerial Vehicles), are vehicles that do not need a person physically being there to use drones.

As humans increase technology, they are putting everyone to danger and risk. Creating drones has been a huge, helpful and a dangerous step towards society and technology. The drones that humans create to use for war, also create terrorists and more threats towards the United States.

All the reasons why not to put the use of drones in place all relate in some way to the well-being of civilians, as would the justifications of why they should be equipped. What the civilians know from the government’s public announcements and private decisions, how the killings done by drones affect the people, to the quintessence of their security are all important and connected to each other. That said, “More than 87 countries own some type of surveillance or attack drone, changing the way nations conduct war and threatening to begin a new arms race as governments scramble to counterbalance their adversaries” (Drones). More than ever, there is a race worldwide to come with the better machine—the mechanical soldier to fight for its country. Safety of civilians come with this, as if one country were to attack with drones, one of the only ways to counter that for the people’s sake is with the invaded country’s own drones. Iran, in 2010, revealed its own drone, the initial armed one at that, and China itself exhibited “twenty-five drone models,” with six-hundred and eighty drone programs of development in play by governments, research institutes, and companies globally in 2011 in comparison to the mere one-hundred and ninety-five in 2005 (Drones). “The Teal Group, a defense-consulting firm, estimated in June 2013 that the global market for the research, development, and procurement of armed drones would nearly double over the next decade from $5.2 billion annually to $11.6 billion”(Drones). Of course, another note is that “In a process that the experts call ‘monopoly erosion’, drone use is spreading fast, confirming that they are becoming the new

A typical use that is arising from the surge of drones is photographing and video recording. Although people may not enjoy drones flying around in the skies above them, the First Amendment protects the rights of the controllers since people reserve the right to gather information how they please under the clause of freedom of press (The Bill of Rights: A Transcription). Likewise, the Fourth Amendment serves to protect the rights of law enforcement to use drones since, “the use of low-powered cameras or other unsophisticated technology to view people and objects in plain view while in their home might not trigger Fourth Amendment protections,” (Thompson, Richard M., II). Drones should be allowed to operate in domestic airspace for security reasons as well, not just for private ownership. It is also only a matter of time before the national government’s drones beginning appearing in United States skies, since Obama already has over 19,000 drones under his control, and has carried out hundreds of covert and overt operations (Singer, Peter W). In order to maintain a balance between national power and its citizens, airspace must be open to everyone who would like to operate drones. By opening up domestic skies, power will remain with the people as the Constitution designates it to

This philosophy finds it root in the statement made in Puranas ( Hindu religious texts) . “Jaisa ann waisa mann” which literally means What you eat so you become in your nature . The type of food and water you take your body and soul will become of that type. Even the type of water you drink influences your voice and general well being . Life energy is derived from food.

To begin with, drones have now gained the ability to spy on us without our consent. Using a vast database full of many peoples’ faces, they can detect who you are (Stepanovich). Also, they can find out where you go at what time and exactly whom you interact with

Even though they are used to talk about the same things Drone and UAV have to very different interpretations in the media. For the most part Drones are now seen as mainly consumer products and the news stories reflect that. Currently the main stories are about how drones have been weaponized specifically by ISIS. UAV on the other hand relates more to professional uses. There is still news about weaponized UAV’s but it is from different sources. Drone is mainly used by the main stream media wail UAV is being used by websites which cater to people with more knowledge on the subject such as Aviation

Drones are very helpful when it comes to reporting the news because they can go places where reporters can’t. This is why drones are now the go-to source for capturing images of conflicts, accidents and natural

Throughout the world drone usage is growing rapidly. Some may see drones as a dangerous military weapon such as a predator while others see them as this toy that people are playing within their backyard. While these are some uses most fail to see how many possible applications drones can be used for, because of the vast amount of uses drones are bound to be abused. This abuse of drones brings up many privacy issues throughout the world. People feel as though they’re being spied on when they see a drone. Many restrictions have been issued trying to stop this abuse of drones such as having “a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating, or be directly supervised by someone with such a certificate”(FAA) in order to operate a drone thus keeping them out of the hands of inexperienced or reckless flyers.

Drone technology is advancing rapidly and it is changing the way in which things are being done. Drones are widely used by many people as a hobby or for career purposes, as well as for military purposes by the United States. Drones provide the U.S military with many benefits, which helps the military to operate efficiently and in a safe manner. Businesses are utilizing this technology as well in order to make their companies run more efficiently, as well as to improve their customer service. Drone technology will positively impact our society; drastically change our culture and political system and definitely advance our economy as well as help enhance our environment.

Boyle (2013) states that drones operate with a reduce view of effectiveness. They kill innocent people including women and children, and drones do not see anybody down there and it kills everybody. But in reality, drone strikes are efficient because they cause fewer civilian casualties than air strikes or ground operations. According to Hastings (2012) he found out that drones was a good source to use against terrorists, it has supported and benefited the US military. Once a drone reaches its destination it hovers silently in an extensive radius for hours, with an altitude of up to 50,000 feet, providing a survey and a flow of detailed reconnaissance photos. With the use of its Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, McNeil (2014) who has developed a mapping geocode software to pinpoint the location based on information and analysis. This software system is installed in a drone and the GIS is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all geographical data. This technology is less expensive than the current procedures
