Writing Feedback / Rebecca MacKinnon: We can fight terror without sacrificing our rights [2]

there are still some similarities between your work and the source vocabulary that mean you still need to show efforts in how you make summary by relying and enhancing your lexical resource.

Rebecca MacKinnon became several workers in journalist, researchers etc

wrong and confusing statement. by your writing, reader may grasp that what you mean is that Rebecca had worked on several profession before. in fact, what she mean on her speech is that she has worked with many people with different occupation background

our democracy do not double down on securing and defending human rights.

completely same words with the source. what you did can not classified as summarizing. you only copy paste several important facts without even change the words. this will not build your writing and reading comprehension

the same case happened at the rest of your writing. Thus, there is no importance for me to give feedback on yours since i can conclude that this writing is not yours.

by reading, paraphrasing, and summarizing, you will have a chance to enhance your reading and writing skill at the same time. unfortunately, you just miss the opportunity. good luck

however, there is no such a perfect job, so do this writing. there are many spaces for improvement, particularly on your lexical resource. try to use a wide range of vocabularies, paraphrasing and using similar words more often as it will a chance for improving your lexical resource.

another important thing to mention is, it is good that you use quotation here. but, think about its balance. in this summary, it seems that the quotation is a half length of the whole paragraph.
