Nowadays technology is increasingly being used to monitor what people are saying and doing ( for example, through cell phone tracking and security cameras). In many cases, the people being monitored are unaware that this is happening). Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

The

right

to

privacy

is a topic that has been discussed for a long time in every aspect of an individual's life. Through technology, some opine that

this

right

is being taken away by the governments by adhering to monitoring every activity that a person does, without them even realizing it. Through

this

essay, I would like to address the advantages and disadvantages of

such

a practice. Governments must monitor suspicious activity relating to the safety of the nation.

This

is done by cell phone tracking and placing

security

cameras

at places where

such

activities are prone to happen.

For instance

, if there are

people

that

disturb the harmony of a community by aggregating plans to do so, it is necessary to keep a check on

such

individuals and catch them red-handed.

In addition

, terrorist activities can only be stopped if the authorities know about the whereabouts of

such

people

, without them knowing that they are being monitored as it would be effective because if these

people

know that they are being tracked, they would start destroying the evidence that would

subsequently

help in a proper judicial trial.

Furthermore

, installing

security

cameras

at traffic signals is a good way to catch

people

that break the traffic laws, these

cameras

can send photographs of

such

individuals and make them pay the fine.

However

, if they knew they were being monitored, they would never break these laws in the first place.

On the contrary

, it is essential to adhere to monitoring

people

at appropriate places, and not where it is not an absolute necessity.

For instance

, installing

security

cameras

in trial rooms in a mall is worthy of condemnation as it completely goes against moral values and destroys the

right

to

privacy

.

Moreover

, tracking an innocent individual would make him paranoid, so it is necessary to have evidence before anyone tries to intrude on somebody else's

privacy

.

To sum up

, the advantages of tracking through cell phones and

security

cameras

is a healthy practice as long as

people

who are involved in doing so are noble and have moral ethics that adhere to the task at hand, and not merely

their own personal perverted needs. It is essential to keep a check on

people

at only appropriate places, as the

right

to

privacy

is everybody's fundamental

right
