Places and forms of power: CCTV cameras.

Places and forms of power:  CCTV cameras

Because of the terrorist’s threat surveillance has become a priority in our society. A way to monitor people is by using CCTV cameras. People are monitored to protect them. Those who control cameras exercess a king of power on other people. The exercise of power within a community requires that its members accept or even internalize a complex system of law,rules and regulations . Because of this power tensions can exist within the group.

Is the CCTV cameras system efficient and accepted by everyone ?

In a first time, we will see how people react to it, then what is to avoid and finally the new ways monitor even more than with cameras.

A) Spy Cameras see briton’s every more (Nick Allen)

In England Camerass are present everywhere.

Thera are about 4.2 millions spy cameras filming citizens 24/7. The person in the commanding room can even tell people off when they do something anti-social.

In Nick Allen is article he explains that it is really efficient, people obey to the orders. This mod of surveillance is about to develop and expended in more countries.

But there are already opposant to this system Indeed Tony Blair said citizens have to sacrifice some freedoms to fight terrorism, all type of violence and fraud. People are being spied on and some defense of the civil rights are against this. Effectively this is happening nowhere else in the free world defend lawyers. In fact some are afraid that this could go further.

B) BB George Owell

G.Owell sensed a long time ago this situation in this novel BB where people are spied on by cameras and controlled  by the government. For more cameras and controled  by the government. For more cameras  who are only in public ploaces and used to protect citizens but some of them think that the government could use it to spy privat and intimate life.

They think it could abuse of its power and not respect privacy anymore. People are watching out for those excesses so it will be complicated for it to happen but some other things are used to spy and you don’t even notice it.

C) Cartoon

Indeed Facebook use is influence and integration in people’s privacy to spy us. In a cartoonrepresenting two robots one bigger representing Facebook and one smaller representing Big Brothers; The first one is pushing the other saying amateur. We can understand that Facebook is more efficient and more powerful than Big Brothers because we accept it wheares it ius spying on us.

To conclude we can say that CCTV cameras are efficient but not accepted by everyone. People are afafraid that their privacy is threatened. Power reveals the tensions and conflicts within a group, and also entails against powers to limit the power and resist.
