< | It is strongly recommended that you include your outline in the body of your essay by using the outline as section titles. The headings below are there to remind you how section and subsection titles are formatted. | | | Crisis of Privacy in the Time of the Pandemic | | | This is a common issue that countries all over the world face during the pandemic. This issue concerns various constitutional duties and fundamental rights, such as the country's duty to protect its people, the right to be healthy, the right to know, and the right to privacy. We must try to find a balance between them rather than just ignore and sacrifice individual privacy in the name of the greater good. We should keep our eyes open and never let the government turn into a "big brother." | |

It seems to me that the best route to improvement is to begin by editing hard to create space for more ideas. What is presently being said in 958 words can be said in 500. Every word not actually pulling weight should go. After the slack words are gone, each sentence should be rewritten to use fewer words and simpler grammar.
In the space you have made, you can then actually consider more than just South Korea. "Striking a balance" among objectives such as those you describe depends on many aspects (the society's material wealth, its size, population density, degree of federalism, and so on. Cultural attitudes towards surveillance and autocratic government are also relevant.
But no one actually suppressed Covid-19 by technological means. Even the original, less communicable, forms of the virus outran the utility to contact tracing in any form. By the time societies like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan that had believed in the utility of such measures met Delta and Omicron, they changed their minds. So it might be worth asking whether "balance" was actually the right goal after all. Perhaps just saying no and refusing to carry a smartassphone during the epidemic was actually the correct policy. Worked for me.
