Today, I want to talk about how the writer of the letter “Common protection and control” persuades readers.

First, this issue of fingerprinting is about Japanese system, and the writer is Japanese. So, he talks from a viewpoint of Japanese people who are protected by this system.

Next, he shows some points as logic. First thing is that people don’t need to be afraid of fingerprinting if they have nothing to hide. Second, people should sacrifice freedoms and rights to be protected from modern dangers such as terrorism. This is a general form of security and not unusual thing.

Finally, he concluded that innocent people should not be killed. No one has the right to kill them. For that the have world has to think about how to protect them and fingerprinting is one of the ways. These sentences seem to have logical and emotional appeals. It is because he does not say that the fact innocent people are killed is sad, but this seems to work to human’s feeling.

The writer insist that protecting lives is much important than human rights. For the explanation, he insists from a viewpoint of Japanese people and foreigners should endure for the safety.
