For the second assignment I read, “So who can we kill?” by
Michael Crowley. This science feature was about the government’s use and misuse
of unmanned drone technology. There really wasn't very much science in this
feature at all other than a few comments about the drones themselves. Most of
the essay talked about the government itself and Obama’s actions regarding the
drones. The author used some story like techniques to describe the problems
with the unmanned drones and even more specifically, the irresponsibility of
the government in using them. This article also took a turn to an issue that
can be considered even larger and that is the seemingly unchecked secrecy that
the government is allowed to use with they’re power. In my opinion, this was a
great essay in explaining the controversial issue of the use of drones and the
secrecy that the government overuses with them. There wasn't very much science
or prickles in this essay at. This is ok however because this topic doesn't
necessarily need a lot of prickles to be effective. For that reason though, I
wouldn’t really think of this essay as much of a science feature paper but
rather a controversial essay about a government issue.
