What are the advantages and disadvantages of spying? – Harry Cooper

Former Senior Executive - Retired at Central Intelligence Agency (1988–2017)

If, when you say “spying”, you mean intelligence collection, there are clear advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it gives our country advance warning of any military or political action by another country that could endanger our sovereignty. For international agreements and coalitions it gives us a strategic advantage to know what the other country’s bottom line or strategy is in advance. Militarily the advantages of having intelligence on adversaries is clear.

The disadvantage is that our own citizens often believe we are collecting intelligence on them despite laws to the contrary and when we get caught collecting information there are political repercussions and a loss of any advantage we might have had.

[TOP TWO KINDNESS IDEAS RECEIVED FROM PARTICIPANTS]

First Idea by MA

Considering the temperature in Ukraine, February is one of the coldest months. In times of extreme weather conditions, access to basic necessities like heating can be limited or unavailable, especially for vulnerable populations. Sending "Hokkairo" to areas suffering from severe cold can be a useful voluntary activity that can make a positive impact on people in need.

Aside from donating "Hokkairo" and other disposable products, clothes, toys, or food to a shelter, you can raise your voice to urge organizations and institutions to churn out new products and technologies to save vulnerable populations, such as "pop up shelter" used in natural disaster, Heat-tech clothing in cold area and instant food for people in crisis situations.

It is often said that war fields are typically where militaries test and evaluate new weapons and technologies to assess their effectiveness and capabilities. But very few organizations will test their new products and technologies to assess their effectiveness in war zone for supporting civilian life during and after the war.

Second Idea by HM

In my childhood, we were taught that one of the most important virtues was to do one good thing a day. In western society, they celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week from February 14 to February 20 annually. It's a celebration of all the ways they can become a positive influence in each other's lives. Even one small act of kindness might mean a great deal to somebody. The world could be selfish and cruel sometimes and not everyone receives the same kind of support they need. Therefore, it is important for them to constantly be reminded to be kind to one another and to give others hope whenever we can.

I have seen and heard of some of my acquaintances who selflessly extend their kindness to those around them on a daily basis. For example, one of my supervisors said, almost every day, "I did one good thing today." In fact, despite being a busy corporate director, he was a weekend umpire for youth softball.

Until a few years ago, I worked as a member of the promotion group for Global Warming Prevention Activities. However, partly because I am already enough old, I have not been involved in any outward environmental activities that would be useful to others. Therefore, I only continue the 5Rs around me: Refuse, Reuse, Repair, Reduce, and Recycle. Among the 17 goals in the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), the following goals form the basis of my small activities:

13th "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts"

7th "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all"

One of the proverbs I learned as a child is "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

A small and random gesture of kindness can go a long way. The amount of greenhouse gases and energy I can save in a day might seem to be almost negligible. However, as it is difficult to achieve the cumulative greenhouse gas reduction target proposed by the UN, my family's 5R activities contribute to reduce our household emissions, coupled with control of energy consumption via "HEMS (Home Energy Management System)", even if the amount is like "a drop in the ocean". "
