Good Morning, dear teachers and fellows. Thank you for joining us at our today`s debate session. My
name is ________________, I am A1 and my colleagues are _______________________________.
Our today`s topic is: Security cameras are an invasion of privacy.
The key words are: Security, Cameras, Invasion, Privacy
The Cambridge dictionary gives us the following definitions:
Security- protection of a person, building, organization, or country against threats such as crime or
attacks.
Cameras- a device for taking photographs or making videos.
Invasion - an action or process that affects someone's life in an unpleasant and unwanted way.
Privacy- someone's right to keep their personal matters and relationships secret.

We agree with the topic and our arguments are the following:
1. Security cameras cause irritation and discomfort since we know that
somebody is watching us. As a result, cameras disturb private life
and it is impossible to concentrate on a specific work fully, because
we know that someone is looking at us.
2. Security cameras are useless. To support my argument, I want to say that security
cameras do not prevent crime and is just a waste of money. We pay a lot of money for
these devices, and as a result they just stay in a corner without using them.
3. People shouldn't be filmed on camera without being asked before hand. It isn't fair that
there are cameras on you in nearly every store. Sometimes they are used in dressing
rooms and bathrooms. So, people would feel uncomfortable.

To conclude, I want to say that we strongly believe that Security cameras an invasion of
privacy; they disturb our private life. If you really don't like your privacy ,its your problem; but
we want to be free and live a happy live without being supervised.

Now, I want to present you our arguments:

1. Security cameras cause irritation and discomfort since we know that
somebody is watching us. We frequently hear people talking about
difficulty keeping themselves organized. Due to the statistics, 25% cannot
concentrate, because of being tired and fatigued. For 35% Stress is one of
the factors. For 15% Boredom and Physical Factors. And the remanded 25%-

supervising by a person or a special device( one of the devices is a security

camera).
2. Security cameras are useless. Mr Porter, the surveillance camera
commissioner for England and Wales, told the BBC News website that he
regarded cameras as "useless", because they were redundant, moreover,
sometimes they are situated in the wrong place, damaged or the old
analogue versions with inadequate visibility. In 2013, he it reduced the
number of ineffective cameras in England and saved 250,000.

3. People shouldn't be filmed on camera without being asked before hand.

Khaliah Fitchette, a lawyer from New Jersey says that using a device without asking people is illegal was
illegal. Before installing it, people must say that they are agree with this.

To conclude, I want to say: We are free and we mustnt by influenced by the

opinions of other persons. We don`t want to be supervised and we don`t want to
be recorded all the time on a camera.

Our arguments are:

1. Security cameras cause irritation and discomfort since we know
that somebody is watching us. Saying this, I may that is impossible
to concentrate on a specific work when you know that there is a
camera near you.
2. Security cameras are useless. To support my argument, I want to say that Security
cameras don't work. They don't stop crime. They are watching our every move and
experimenting with us like some kind of science experiment. It cannot be used for
crime prevention. People use it after the crime already happened and when the
damage has already been done.
3. People shouldn't be filmed on camera without being asked before hand. It isn't fair
that there are cameras on you in nearly every store. Sometimes they are used in
dressing rooms and bathrooms. Freedom and Happiness must be placed on the first
place.
To conclude, I want to say that you didn`t convince us, your arguments
didn`t show us anything good from using security cameras. Sometimes you
were not convinced at the cross- questioning . Your answers were
not sure and you contradicted yourselves. To conclude, the feeling that
someone is watching you is not really a good one. Security cameras are
placed even in bathrooms and dressing rooms. You know that with security
cameras someone is still watching you, making you feel and not able to
show your true self often. This can change your everyday life and
sometimes it can make you feel nervous

Our arguments are:
1. Security cameras aren`t an invasion of privacy because they are placed for the security for each
individual. To support my argument, I want to say that they help to prevent a bad situation.
When someone sees a security camera, he understands that he is supervised.
2. They help us to catch a lot of important events. If something happens, a camera can help to
solve the situation every aspects in mall, in ATM, administrative places, the area which is more
vulnerable, traffics etc. It gathers vital information.
3. Cameras plays a vital role in crime investigations like robbery and kidnapping cases , because
it equals more security. Criminals are less likely to break into cars or steal from a store where
they perceive the threat of getting caught is higher.
To conclude, I want to say that we are sure that Security cameras aren`t an invasion of privacy. They
help us to solve difficult situations and feel safe in every situation.

the arguments of the opponent group.

Our arguments are:
1. Security cameras aren`t an invasion of privacy because they are placed for the security for each
individual. Security cameras deters crime from happening.When a vandal sees a camera watching
him, he would most likely wont vandalize. Or when someone wants to steal a car or rob a house, he
will probably think twice before doing so when he sees the surveillance installed.
2. They help us to catch a lot of important events. When a couple was brutally attacked in the heart
of Center City Philadelphia last month, police used a 21st-century tool to catch the alleged
attackers.Investigators released video surveillance of a group of young adults leaving a nearby
restaurant just moments before the violent attack. After the video went viral using social media,
police received crucial information that allowed them to identify the three suspects and make
the arrests.
3. Cameras plays a vital role in crime investigations like robbery and kidnapping cases. Technology
certainly played a crucial role in the hunt for the two Boston Marathon bombers. But the best piece
of evidence may have come from a Lord and Taylor department store security camera, which
provided video of one of the suspects dropping his backpack at the spot of the bombing; the fact is
that surveillance cameras helped the FBI solve this complicated crime and allowed the city of
Boston to live in peace.
To conclude, there is a real benefit from using security cameras; we live in a modernized world,
so we must succeed to all of this and use different tools that will make our life easier.

Our arguments are:

1. Security cameras aren`t an invasion of privacy because they are placed for the security
for each individual. To support my argument, I want to say that they help to prevent a
bad situation. They are placed in "public" areas to protect the "public".
2. They help us to catch a lot of important events. Anyhow life is more important than
anything else in the world.Even though we use cameras in hospitals
,multiplexes,commercial complexes,jewelry shops etc then also the rate of crime is
increasing day by day.
3. Cameras plays a vital role in crime investigations like robbery and kidnapping cases ,
because it equals more security. To support my argument I want to say that security
cameras help police catch criminals and help people find out what really happened

To conclude, I want to say that you didn`t convince us, your arguments didn`t show us that
mobile phones in public places should really be banned. Sometimes you were not convinced
at the cross- questioning . You answers were not sure and you contradicted
yourselves. So, Security cameras do not invade privacy. They are used for so many purposes,
for example, protection of anybody and everybody. To sum it all up, security cameras do not
invade privacy in any way, shape, or form.
