Agree

Yes

Cosmopolitanism, with its emphasis on global citizenship and moral obligations extending beyond national borders, might support granting immunity to Edward Snowden. This perspective could argue that Snowden's actions, in exposing mass surveillance by the U.S. government, served a global public interest by highlighting issues around privacy, freedom, and government accountability on an international scale. However, the score is not maximally positive because cosmopolitanism also values the rule of law and might not fully endorse bypassing legal processes.

Agree

Yes

Cosmopolitanism generally supports the idea of global citizenship and the free flow of information. Edward Snowden's actions align with this by revealing information about global surveillance programs. However, the score is not a full 5 because cosmopolitanism also values the rule of law, and Snowden did break U.S. law.

Agree

No, but investigate the CIA and NSA directors as well

This answer aligns with cosmopolitanism's emphasis on transparency and accountability, as it suggests investigating the CIA and NSA directors.

Slightly agree

No, but investigate the CIA and NSA directors as well

This answer reflects a nuanced position that might resonate with cosmopolitan thinkers by acknowledging the need for accountability among high-level officials in intelligence agencies. However, the refusal to grant immunity to Snowden could be seen as inconsistent with a fully cosmopolitan approach, which would likely emphasize the value of his whistleblowing activities in promoting global public interest. The positive score indicates a partial alignment with cosmopolitan values, particularly in the call for investigation, but the refusal to grant immunity suggests a limitation in fully embracing cosmopolitan principles of justice and human rights protection.

Disagree

No, he should be returned to the U.S. to stand trial and face the consequences of his actions

While cosmopolitanism does not dismiss the importance of legal systems and the rule of law, this ideology would likely question the fairness and motives behind prosecuting Snowden. The cosmopolitan perspective might argue that forcing Snowden to stand trial in the U.S. overlooks the broader ethical context of his actions, including the potential benefits of his disclosures for promoting a more transparent and accountable global governance structure. Thus, this stance is somewhat at odds with cosmopolitan values.

Disagree

No

From a cosmopolitan viewpoint, which prioritizes global justice and the well-being of individuals across national boundaries, outright denial of immunity to Snowden could be seen as neglecting the broader ethical implications of his actions. While cosmopolitanism respects national laws, it also challenges the idea that loyalty to one's country should override universal principles of justice and human rights. The negative score reflects a tension between respecting legal processes and recognizing Snowden's contribution to global debates on privacy and surveillance.
