Harvey Molotch argues that the increases in security following the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 have actually made it easier for criminals to commit crimes. He instead argues that we must appeal to what human characteristic to maintain our security effectively?

A. Our sense of decency
B. A sense of personal power
C. A strong moral fiber
D. Our physical strength

Answer :

Answer:

a.) Our sense of decency

Explanation:

Harvey Molotch, a sociologist, is the author of the book, "Against Security". In this book, Harvey Molotch argues that we are too over-anxious about public safety, and this, more often than not, yields a counterproductive result.

He explains that rather than engaging in security programs that deprive people of basic resources and dignity, and one that instills fear on the people, a change in our attitude, readiness to help one another and a decent lifestyle will enable us to live a safe and secure life.
