writing draft about CCTV

Nowadays, the technologies of CCTV, NDA databases, biometrics and other monitoring systems are used everywhere in people’ daily life. Just in British tens of thousands of cameras operate in public places and the government invests betweenm150 to 300 million pounds per year and there about 3000 DNA match a month, more than 3million samples held. A common viewpoint is that fight crime by using the tracking systems it help the police track the criminal and make people feel safer. Those technologies, however, are not only the benefits sometimes they also infringe liberty and personal privacy. An example of this is a research by UK home office display that 72 per cent agreed "these cameras could easily be abused and used by the wrong people". More than one respondent in ten believed that CCTV cameras should be banned []. The movie ‘the emery of state ‘ show us what will happen when the monitoring systems are abused. This essay will argue how the tracking systems influence us and provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of them. The first part of this essay will introduce what is monitoring systems, when did they come and how they work. The second part will explore why they can become an infringement on personal privacy. Finally, try to find how to carry forward the function and avoid the harm.

I watch the video about beijing Olympic which have a link on JIM's blog
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cwct2/

I am not pleased with the beginning in that it only talk about the negative in China and mislead the specator. I majority agree with the Chinese guy 's opintion who is in the program. Most people don't know China , of course China do have a lot problems such human rights ,demostracy however as the American guy said in the program the demostray cann't bulit in one night.In two days the Olympic will be held but in this program full of the voice of critism and no beatitude which made me uncomfortable.
