The advantages of a 'surveillance society' far outweigh the drawbacks.

Recent research has suggested that the public have great concern in the scale of surveillance on them, however surveillance has been developing for many years and have been assisted by technologies, therefore society should consider all prospective. According to David Lyon, the surveillance reflects this ethos. There is no doubt that our lives are now subject to ever-greater means of surveillance that takes a variety of forms. (Lyon, 2006). Others would argue that, when surveillance increase may cause a reduction in crime. This is clearly exemplified by 'surveillance society' in places such as the London, where the public services prefer to use surveillance system, because surveillance methods include systematic tracking and recording of public places.
This essay will try to explain the main reasons for why the surveillance system will stop crime before it starts, and how it might keep us safe.

Paragraph1:
Some people argued that CCTV cameras may affect society in a negative ways by invading their privacy.

Paragraph 2:
It is often argued that CCTV helps surveillance of areas that require security, robbery and other crimes. CCTV systems are connections link between cameras and monitors. CCTV systems are used mainly in large public areas. An example of this is many Central Business places in England are now covered by surveillance camera systems. However, others would argue that people own privacy to live without being recorder so they might feel that big brother is watching them.

Paragraph 3:
If CCTV notices a strange behave, they can catch criminal before he commits the crime, which helps authority to reduce the number of crime committed.

Paragraph 4:
Some people consider that an identity theft going to revolve about crimes and helps to forbid many crimes.

Only one out of twenty-four of the students interviewed said that, they liked drinking with
their friends. This seems to show that, social programme at the university should give parties and alcohol should be served.

NATIONAL GALLERY (PROJECT)

NATIONAL GALLERY:


I was interested in visiting the National Gallery so I went to see it myself. You can

find over one thousand portraits featuring people who have formed and shaped British

history from the past to the present day. The national gallery is the best collection of

European painting in the world.

The ground floor and the first floor contain Victorian art and the 20th century and

the collection is organized chronologically starting from the second floor. The national

gallery is located on the north side of Trafalgar Square on Orange Street

and has been refurbished many times. The building has a beautiful design and the

architecture is very modern, which is why I prefer inside the gallery. The rooms are

large and each room contains many pictures on each floor, the large hall which is

connected to smaller rooms without any doors. 38 rooms contain portraits dedicated to

science, technology and business and 41 rooms are dedicated to the arts. The

ground floor is dedicated to the national gallery’s own general collection and portrays

aspects of modern portrait practice . There are also many pictures of British politicians and

the Royal family. Many of the pictures have protective glass coverings.



The national gallery technical, published annually, is an exclusive record of

research carried out by the national gallery. Last Friday I went there. It has a guided tour

daily at 11:30 A.M. and 2:30 P.M. and it is free for public. Its collection can be enjoyed by

the largest public possible. It was my first visit to the national gallery it is a large wonderful

and building. All of the people in the pictures were famous from people all years of British

history, some faces are well-known while others are less so. All of the paintings have a

short biography and information about when it was created.

The most interesting part is, you visit the exhibition and you can choose your favourite

portrait. You can then fill in a form to register your vote and this made me feel more part

of the experience. Every day it is also possible to listen to various talks and lectures, giving

you extra information on parts of the exhibition. There are also many special exhibition that

are held throughout the year. After

After I saw the gallery , I was interested in finding out how paintings are collected.



Matthew Power of The National Gallery gave me information about how the gallery operates,

and the process. The Gallery purchases new works for the collection however it borrows

paintings from other collections from time to time.

Funding of the acquisitions comes both from the Government and through private funds. For

example, In April 1824 the House of Commons listed £57,000 for the purchase of the thirty-

eight pictures of the banker John Angerstein (1735 - 1823). The gallery forms the basis of

the national collection. Also the gallery is given grant aid from the Government and also is given

money through sponsorships and the National Gallery Company. From the very beginning, the

National Gallery's collection had included works by British artists.

Afterwards, he told me more about the process. At first, The Gallery has loaned old paintings to

other museums for their exhibitions. Then works for the collection is purchased by The Gallery,

it will also be gifted paintings through bequests or through the in lieu of inheritance tax scheme.

entetainment

Introduction about entertainment ;
At the present of time competitive global market innovative products are not enough for people so the companies must think the way new product introductions are controlled in order to market .
According to People magazine, music , TV , computer ... have been a good things for free time .
History about TV ;
TV came in to start the inventions and discoveries of many people or scientists working together.
The first TV when came in home were not totally electronic TV was consist of a small motor with a circling disc and e neon lamp when these things worked together to give a picture.
in 1935 is called the TV ‘ mechanical TV ‘ but this TV is not different it now TV system the TV set combine multiple internal electronic circuits and signals
on Jan 23 1926 John logie Baird gave a TV .he is remembered as begin a creator of mechanical TV .
This tv an earlier edition of TV and was extended in1920 in England .
That scientists and engineers consist of : Paiva –Figuier and Senlecq were signifying for TV .
Positive and negative effects for audience ;
It has been argued that , now a days TV is very important in our life so it is considered as a useful resource and TV is part of technology that cause to increases information about their surrounding world ,they can choose the best way , but this question is propounded is TV a useful for children ?
As far as , I know TV has few benefits for children .
there are some good educational programs but these days some children
do not use properly of TV for instance they just use TV useless programs so for these children is not useful.
I’m convinced that TV has a positive influence on learning by that I mean TV leads to abetter grasp of the subject but I agree that many children at the present time spend too much their time with TV even in their leisure time so it isn’t good because children should use other facilities expect TV they must use another things for example newspaper ,internet , and library .
also a lot of advertising is targeted at children and this makes TV viewing very unattractive .
to sum up , TV for learning new things seems to be dependent on how use people ,however many of discussion about TV‘s influence on society has been negative because it reduces social activities .
TV trend track about the number of audience;
This chart shows the TV viewing habits fluctuation in different years
According to the chart the number of people watched TV increased gradually
since 1950 .
In 1955 the number of people watched TV has increased considerably from 64% in 1950 .
In 1970 the number of people watched TV has risen sharply from 95.3 % .
As it turns out the number of people watched TV has increased sharply from 98.2 % in 2008 .
According to the chart for 1950 to 2008 this number has been increased from 9 % to 98.2 % .
There is a sharp increase between 1950 to 208 ,this chart has a peak in 2008 .
By studding this chart in 2008 reaches a peak .
TV now a days ;

who do you believe only to wish you could be with such a people for life?
from my point of view The "television" that pick to stay with for life. I think the "the television" not so much the people do to big age difference.
The technology of television has changed in most of the countries since its early days that mechanical system invented in 1884.
AT the present time most of countries are using digital TV but in some counties are using analog TV like in my country .

Analog television, like all other motion picture systems, and it is used for motion pictures to create a smooth moving image.
digital television Sound and pictures are converted into a digital format and compressed,
in 2008-2012 television services in the UK will be completely digital
In most cases digital TV can improve the quality of TV pictures and sound.
