Answer 1

Consider making the listener picture having cameras in school. "Imagine dozens of surveillance cameras staring over schools, intimidating students, and create a fear that one is always being watched."

Answer 2

Privacy. It's something we treasure in the abstract but give it away piece by piece in our everyday lives. One day we will wake up and it's gone forever. Every moment of our lives will become under surveillance. Like living in a fish bowl. Even though every time we give up a little more privacy for something that seemed like a valuable trade at the moment, the cumulative effect over time is a total loss of privacy which none of us would have said is a good thing before we started.

How do we combat this? How do we make sure that the privacy we give up is absolutely essential, is for a purpose that is highly valuable to us, is only as much as we must give up to enjoy that value, and is given back to us when that high value purpose no longer exists?

Answer 3

Can you say in one sentence why you thik we shouldn't? OK, then that's your thesis--but it's not your first sentence. For that, you need to catch the reader's attention. Do you know of any flagrant mistake that was made or injustice that was committed because of a surveillance camera in a school? If so, could you begin with one sentence that states what someone was supposedly caught doing, then add a sentence explaining what went wrong? At that point you should have enough to segue into the thesis you already wrote, or maybe you'll need another sentence to connect the first two to the thesis. In any case, there's your introductory paragraph.

Answer 4

We have the technology to watch every movement of every human being. But where do we draw the line between safety and privacy? Who decides the line? Do we really WANT to be watched all the time? I would like to guide you through why I feel we do not need surveillance cameras in school and what harm they could do.

Answer 5

Several years ago, when the 40ish citizens of now were our age and a bit younger, there was a big to do about "Big Brother" watching us. Everyone was upset and lived in terror that such things violated American citizens and our freedom. With surveillance cameras being installed in our schools, on our stop lights, in our gas stations, and who knows where else, it is only common sense to believe that this fear has become reality.

Answer 6

Your topic is a hard one. Nowadays, most of the people is afraid because of national security. Hence, fear is blinding them to accept all kind of "security devices" and doesn't ask questions about it. What you can do is focus on how privacy will be affected and all at school will become "zombies" who lack freedom. Nobody will be able to be him or herself anymore. There will be just like the big brother book in which freedom is nothing, but an abstract feeling. Good Luck with your essay. It is easier to convince one than convince ten.

Answer 7

umm something maybe along the lines of "Why we shouldnt have surveillance cameras in school is well because it invades our privacy somewhat, and no one looses there constitutional rights at the school gates when they enter the campus" you can change somestuff if you like. hope this helps.

Answer 8

How many strangers are watching YOUR children?

You could site the privacy issue and how hackers could tap into the cameras and maybe pedophiles and such.

Answer 9

try a rough draft.give your speech to yourself and fix it up a little bit as you say it.
