TITLE:                 Dissatisfaction of people with excessive surveillance

 

 

 

 

Definition:

 

 

Definition: The number of security cameras being placed practically everywhere (shopping centres, schools, airports etc.) has substantially increased especially since September the 11^th 2001. That means that we are all becoming “victims” of  everyday surveillance, and the question is, if we will allow that almost everybody can watch and follow us on every step or will we resist an attack to our privacy and secure (demand) our personal space. One of the largest media-known invasion of privacy was setting up the security cameras in dressing rooms two years ago, in one of the biggest shop in Ljubljana – the Emporium.

Item 1:

We searched the Internet and discussed possible topics. Blaž suggested that our topic could be surveillance. We all agreed with the idea but  Tina said we need a more specific topic. Then Blaž suggested that we could talk about CCTV: private vs. public. We thought that the use of CCTV in public places is increasing very fast. And it has caused a lot of debates over public surveillance versus privacy. Because of that reason we all agreed on the definition of topic and that is a very interesting problem.

 

 

Item 2:

Blaž wrote a definition of the problem and we all agreed with him. The definition is published in this wiki page.

 

 

Item 3:

Blaž also formed the questions. Other members looked at them and completed his list. We defined 9 research questions which will help us through our investigation.

 

Working questions:

 

 

 

• What is the point of using cctv?
• Why was cctv invented?
• Where is used cctv?
• Have we got some privacy or are we allwys wetched?
• Where is the line betwwen public vs. private?
• Which are positive things of using cctv?
• Which are negative things of using cctv?
• What about people: do they know that they are watched almost everywhere?
• Do we even realize that we are always being watched?

 

 

 

Item 4:
