Big brother and the national security agency are very much alike because both of their sole purposes are to catch someone committing treason or even some kind of felony. Both of their main goals are to catch the person before they commit the act, so that whatever they're doing won't affect the vast majority of the population, who look up to the government. It's so their own people of the country don't turn on the government, or so they can't see the true colors of the government.
the National Security Agency is a very powerful intelligence community whose sole purpose is to collect and report sensitive information around the nation and even the world. Just like Big Brother, the NSA is in just about every monitor people use, like cellphones, computers, and even televisions. It's pretty scary to think about, don't you think. Big Brother is flat out open to how many hours, minutes, even seconds a day they can listen and watch. You could say that we are essentially living in George Orwell's book. The NSA says, "their mission is to help protect national security by providing intelligence information to government", much like Big Brother; but Big Brother is somewhat more assertive with their power, like torturing someone weeks on end to extract the littlest of information.
Edward Snowden, the man who leaked 200,000 classified documents about the NSA mass surveillance. Many believe he did the right thing, where as others don't. Big Brother would have caught Snowden before he could even think to declassify sensitive information about the government. This totally relates to the NSA's job, but used to counter terrorism...if that's true. To think Big Brother is and could be the future of the NSA; just maybe sooner or later every fact about the NSA will be open to the public as a form of fearing the government, like in 1984.
just like Big Brothers phrase, "Big Brother is watching you", so is the US government. I wonder when the US government will have a phrase like big Brother's, because it's really no secret any more, right?
