'Increased use of science and technology to fight crime is an infringement on personal privacy.' To what extent do you agree or dis agree with this statement?


Technologies have been introduced into our lives and those have given us more power to fight against crime, for instance, Closed Circuit Television cameras (CCTV) can be seen everywhere in London, according to New Statesman, 20 percent of all the world's CCTV are equipped in the UK, and all people from not EU countries are obliged to be taken their fingerprints to enter the UK. Those up-to-date technologies and equipment enable us to live safely and help police to catch criminals easily. However, the surveillance society has dangerous potentials and some of them emerge in our lives. For example, the station attendants in china leaked one short private record on the You-tube illegally last year and then that became a sensational news in Asian countries. Even though they were not the governmental officials, that implies that the same thing might be occurred to the governmental organizations. The first part of this essay will focus on the pros and cons of surveillance society. Secondly, this essay will explain the perilous potentials the surveillance society contains and to what extent we should receive those technologies.

Needless to say, the technologies applied for surveillance society are useful to live securely, e.g., if someone is attacked and killed on a street set a CCTV camera by one burglar with no witness, the CCTV camera can record his face or his appearance features and it will be helpful for the police to arrest the criminal. However, it is often argued that too many CCTV cameras are set up public spaces and we are observed in every second and even in public toilets, we can find a CCTV camera . This circumstance has very dangerous potentials. If the person who controls the CCTV cameras in public places abuses his position and exposes some one's private life on the Internet by accident, the life of person who is exposed is ruined easily and never come right again.

Some of TV categories are seemed to be unwritten and as if these were happened in a real world such as reality TV, up-to-date American dramas, and comedies, which are becoming top three of the most popular programs among all generations and these programs has power enough to make people believe that television is a true mirror of society even it is not. It is frequently argued that the stories on TV are not real but imaginary.
