Surveillance Technology - Hikari Shimizu

Society is protected by surveillance technology which is keeping us safe. I think these technologies are necessary to live our daily lives more comfortably. 

CCTV and facial recognition technology play an important role in solving a lot of crimes. These are also available as evidence, so people can find and identify criminals more easily and clearly. In addition, having some surveillance systems can make people realize that they are constantly being watched by someone, so it can help control crime and illegality. Police and companies are able to crack down more strictly on unpaid parking fees and traffic violations, such as speeding and ignoring traffic lights by using number plate recognition. 

However, if some technologies are used in the wrong way, that could be an invasion of privacy. If the system was hacked and personal information such as name, address, age and face were leaked to strangers, we end up putting ourselves at risk rather than protecting ourselves.

In conclusion, surveillance technology is useful and essential for us, but it also has drawbacks. Society have to use these technologies correctly.

    The feel that I watched by someone is uncomfortable but it's good for controlling crime. The benefits is more important than individual's feeling. So I agree that these technologies are necessary to live our daily lives more comfortably.

    I think the technology of surveillance is necessary for our life and I feel nervous when the CCTV cameras were erased. And then we should consider about the risks of that technologies.

    I completely agree with your opinion. I think surveillance technology is important to guarantee our safety, but it may make our life dangerous if it is used wrongly.

Surveillance Technology- Hiromi Yoshioka

   I think the surveillance technology will help keep us safe, because if we use surveillance technology, we can notice crimes easily. The surveillance technology will help us to prevent or solve crime. Also, the picture quality of security cameras is really good these days, so the police can identify criminals more easily and it will help move investigation forward smoothly. Also, not only for prevention or investigation of crime, but for children's safety, the surveillance technology is useful. It means that if a child gets lost, parents or other adults can search for him or her by using the surveillance technology. That technology must help improve safety for children.   However, the surveillance technology can sometimes invade our privacy if it is used wrongly. The abuse of the surveillance technology is dangerous for us, because the abuse of that technology measns that someone can know what we do or recognize our personal information without noticing us. So, we must understand

To Open Up To Tourism Or Not - Christian Maeda

I think we should not open up natural areas to tourism to protect the nature.  First of all, I want to share my opinion about tourism and nature conservation. The tourists who do not pay respect to the nature and who do not know how much money and time were used to protect these natures are one of the biggest reasons of despoiling and harming the area. We have to stop them to behave like that, or close up the area to protect the nature and stop tourist coming. Sustainable tourism is impossible with these unacceptable acts by tourists. There is a good example in Japan. Arashiyama in Kyoto is good place to see beautiful bamboo grove and it was famous for sightseeing. Therefore, a lot of foreign tourists were coming there and enjoy the view of Arashiyama bamboo grove. However, in 2018, manager of this bamboo grove found some scratches to the bamboo. To keep beautiful landscape, more than 100 bamboos were cut down, because these scratches would never recover. These unthinkable scratched

To Open Up To Tourism Or Not - Himari Kosugi

  I think that pristine natural areas basically shouldn't be opened up to tourism because tourism can destroy such precious nature easily. They have grown over tremendous years. However, espoiling them is much easier than growing up. It means that once pristine natural areas are despoiled, it can be said those are no longer recoverable. It's suck, isn't it? On the other hand, I believe that people can learn a lot of things from precious nature. They can learn how it's important to protect the nature. I think there's a perfect solution to improve both the nature and tourism. Only guided tours should be allowed into the areas. I believe it can make sustainable tourism happen.
