I think that our world is safer because of video surveillance since we can prevent crimes or convict those guilty of the crimes but in the book 1984 video surveillance has gone too far and I think that our society plays a dangerous game with going to far with video surveillance.

I agree that the subservience can get out of hand if we aren't careful.

Yes, surveillance has made the world safer in many ways. It catches people trying intrude on a home, thieves from stealing, catching killers and overall just keeps us safe.

Hesston

I agree

Could that freedom of video taping be abused and taken out of proportion?

Jace

I don't think it's helped cause yes we might be catching people or catching moments that help us to figure stuff out or catch the bad guy but the advancement of the technology we use for surveillance has gone to far and I don't think it will ever get better or go the other way. I think we will someday be like the people in 1984

4/18/2023 10:37:45 am

Yes, I think it has. I believe crime rates are lower where there is surveillance. It also makes it easier to catch bad guys.

Factual

Jace

But is it going to far

very true

I agree with this in so many ways

Yes, I feel that video surveillance has helped made out world a better place. We can use it to catch criminals, provide information for investigations and stop the chance of possible future crimes to occur. Though this can be helpful, video surveillance has been abused as well and can be an invasion on a persons privacy.

I agree that it can invade someone’s privacy.

Kohlbin

I believe that it has made it a better place because now serial killers can’t get away without being seen by cameras and with cameras that can help find people

4/18/2023 10:41:25 am

Thats what I think too.

James

4/18/2023 10:43:10 am

I agree. All hail Big Brother.

I think it made the world safer but didn't allow people to truely live. They knew they were always being watched so they couldn't live a little and have fun. The fact of crime though has been shut down.

4/18/2023 10:42:06 am

Could you give us an example plz?

like when your mom comes to my house

Sedona Cannon

I agree with what you said.

Nicholas Henderson

Yes, I think that surveillance has made the world a better and safer place. It's also used as evidence in crimes of all kinds.

Sara

4/18/2023 10:44:19 am

I agree but I can also invade someone’s privacy.

Sara

4/18/2023 10:39:57 am

I would have to say yes and no. Surveillance has helped make the world a better place when they catch someone committing a crime like stealing. However, having to much surveillance can invade someone’s personal space and privacy.

Shayla

4/18/2023 10:40:44 am

I agree, it’s a little scary to think we are being watched most of the time

Sedona Cannon

That is extremely true.

Hesston Hoggan

I think is has made life better in certain situations. Such as home security and in stores or business. But in the book it is used to a sever extent. So yes the world is better but it also can make things much worse.

tayler carranza

Yes I think that the world became a better place with surveillance because it allows more evidence on a crime.

James

4/18/2023 10:42:43 am

I believe video surveillance has helped by keeping people in line and catching people in the act. I do believe that if video surveillance gets out of hand that it will be a problem because people do want to keep stuff to themselves and behind closed doors.

I feel it is both good and bad. It is good because it helps decrease crime. It is bad because it removes privacy and you can't live a life without being seen.

Sedona Cannon

I think video surveillance have made the world a better place. Video surveillance can help deter crime, increase public safety, and show evidence for criminal investigations. It can also be used for traffic control, workplace safety, and emergency response.
