Before Watching
-
Conduct a debate with students about whether it is ever
acceptable to read another person's mail or listen to a private
conversation. Do these arguments still apply when the parties in
question are governments or countries rather than individual
people? Why or why not?
After Watching
-
This program highlights several moments when secret messages,
intercepted or decoded by government officials, entered into
diplomatic decisions. Do these circumstances support or change
the views that the students expressed prior to watching the
film? What values, besides the right to privacy, are involved in
these situations? Ask the students to suggest general guidelines
for seeking and using information contained in other countries'
communications.
