Do surviellence cameras in public spaces invade privacy? Well a better question maybe, has the world come to a point that trust has been obliterated? Its interesting, as the world turns and years go by, people are less trustworthy of each other and cameras are placed in every shopping mall, elevator, university, even York university. What has this world come to? In the past people were able to sleep with heir front door wide opened, now we can’t even leave a window cracked. Cameras are a smart way to take control of violence and destruction because people gain a level of fear when they know that there is a camera watching them. The camera may or may not be working, they may or may not even see the camera, but they are still cautious with what they do. From the novel 1984, Big Brother plays the role of the public camera, we don’t know where it is, but we are afraid to do anything because it may be watching us. I remember times in the store I would be cautious with what I do, if had to put something in my pocket or purse, make sure that I am clearly not stealing anything. With the modern technology of the Internet, we don’t know exactly its capabilities, so we watch what we say and do online. I’ve heard stories of online pedophiles being caught online chatting with little children, and luring them to rap them. These rare occasions of online pedophiles are probably at a very small amount because of human fear of someone somewhere watching looking for them, which is truly a good thing. I think it is sad that the world has come to a stage were cameras are used, but humans have proved that it is needed. After such a great amount of killing and stealing that are so prevalent today is mortifying. Bullets flying through children’s bedrooms, trains being bombed, planes crashing into towers, these are all very good reasons to have cameras in public places. Cameras have given us a sense of protection and safety. People are more reluctant to cut through a red light when a police camera may be watching them. If cameras keep us even less then safer than without, let cameras stay, to help violence and destruction be put to a minimum.
