Surveillance is a feature used by the modern government. Surveillance is supposedly used by the government for preventing /investigating crimes and gathering information, however it can also be used by criminal organisations for planning and committing crimes, which is ironic.

George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty Four” warn of the negative effects of surveillance and how the government can use it to control people. It is believed if…

Big Brother surveillance was developed to ensure safety through-out the world. Many companies have placed these surveillance cameras in places such as light poles, parking lots, street light, telephone pole, and even malls. They are placed to view the movement of the citizens.

This to many could be considered as a possible violation of their civil liberties, however, I do not considered that to be an issue. I feel safer because it doe protect from crime. In many instances, these cameras have been the voice of citizens whom have been victims of various crimes. For this, I know that many families are grateful. Knowing that anything I type, send electronically could be reconstructed and it could also be used to judge my lawfulness or my character, surely doe prompt me to be very careful of what I am sending. In today’s society, your “word” and character is basically all that one needs to form an opinion of you. You would surely want these things to be positive. “And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest” (Luke 8:15).

Based off class discussion and research, a society cannot truly be just living in a total surveillance society. The United States currently has some of the common themes associated with a total surveillance society, but there are some components still missing. Every individual reserves the right to have privacy and live daily without an overwhelming fear that they are being watched.
