My Views on Privacy and Government Control



Today’s privacy and government policies are just what we need in order to maintain a structured society. The ultimate reason is because it controls the actions of the individuals. I agree with today’s current system of surveillance which watches people in community places such as parking lots, malls, and other public places. Similar surveillance devices such as telescreens and hidden microphones are the same and are only meant for the protection of the citizens. Government control keeps fear circulating because if a person knows that they are being watched, they are less likely to commit the crime. Anyone with criminal feelings will have second thoughts and will not go through with the crime as easily.  It is a good thing that we are able to track what citizens do and are able to surveillance them. If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, so I believe that observation isn’t wrong at all and is in turn good for the benefit of everyone. What the people don’t realize is that constant scrutiny keeps them safe unless they are planning to conduct a crime which they shouldn’t do, which leads me with to my last reason. I agree with today’s privacy policies because without government control, the society’s people would be too incompetent to handle themselves and are incapable of making decisions of their own. People would run amuck doing as they please and in turn would work against our goal of creating a structured environment.
