Anticipation Guide Part II Society has as many criminals as respectful citizens, but still many believe that technology can help lower the crime rate. With technological advances in computers and cameras, many think that crime will decrease with an advanced camera system in place. The potential problems with the system are the reasons why this idea may never be worth the government’s time. The system would be quite costly, it may not be as successful as it was thought to be, and it would be hard to monitor cameras all over the country. The only way cameras would be installed is if the government was guaranteed revenue from catching the criminals caught on camera. The cost of the cameras, the workers keeping the cameras in working order, and the workers to monitor the cameras would lower the overall revenue. The cameras alone would cost millions to install. The workers monitoring and fixing the cameras would cost a fortune as well. Computers would need to be installed in a large network to store such a large amount of data. These computers would be a very costly due to the size of the network. The revenue would be made by the increase in court fees and fines created by the cameras catching criminals. The problem is that the system potentially cannot make enough money to outweigh the cost of the system. After spending all that money towards the cameras, it would be impossible to make enough money to have any profits. Even without the potential cost problem, the system would have problems with usage. The government would have to hire people to watch the footage given off by the cameras. This would be a problem because there would need to be thousands of people to monitor all the cameras. Also, even if the camera saw someone doing something illegal, it would be difficult to catch that person. The system would have to include a facial recognition system to identify the person or persons committing the crime. This type of a system would be very costly and would have to use drivers license pictures from the department of transportation. This would add to the difficulty of making a profit and would eventually cause the system to be unsuccessful. With cameras on every corner, there would be a large amount of cameras to monitor. With thousands of cities and towns, the U.S. would have to put in place millions of cameras. Not only would it be expensive and potentially unsuccessful, it would be very difficult to monitor. There would need to be many computers connected in an intricate system to store the massive amount of data created by the cameras. This would be a large problem because the data would eventually be too much to handle. Also, there would have to be an increase in policemen and women to help enforce the system. These reasons and more are why the government would never put a system like this in place. Cost, efficiency, and monitoring create three of the most crucial problems to the system. Cost would influence the system the most because it would cost more than it would return. Efficiency would come second in order of influence. It would be unsuccessful and inefficient to put in a system like this because not enough crime would be prevented. Monitoring the system would have the least influence on whether the system should be put in place because it would create jobs and would be a good thing for the country. Overall, the problems with the system will outweigh the reasons to put in a system of this type.

12/11/11 Speaker

The speaker in "I Want A Wife" is the author because she uses first person in the writting. Judy Brady is a feminist that believes in equal rights for women and published this article in the magazine Ms. This has an effect on the reader because it shows that she has a different meaning behind what she is saying other than that she wants a wife. It shows the reader that this is the point of view of a male and that women should not have to do everything she "wants".

12/11/11 Intended Audience

The intended audience in Orwell's 1984 is the governments and younger people of society. Winston tells of feeling controlled by the government. Orwell uses him to create a point that the only way a government will change is if the younger people of society stand up and make a change. Also, Britain could be a part of the intended audience. They live in a society where the government rules over the people. He tells them this story as an example of what to not let happen. He wants to maintain or even gain freedom that is a normal right of society.

12/11/11 Orwell's Message

Orwell's message is that in this type of a situation, the society as a whole has to stand up and fight for their rights. His message is that if everyone stays quiet then nothing will change If everyone speaks out, change has to occur eventually. He wants the groups to form and the complaints to be made. Freedom is not given to you, it is earned. In Winston's situation, he needs to get together people from his work that have similiar views as his own. He could then begin making an influence and start being an example for people to follow. Freedom is the overall goal and many obsticles will be in the way. Eventually, the goal will be reached if the group stays concentrated on the goal.

12/11/11 Purpose

Orwell uses examples from this created party to relate to real life examples. He tells of the society being afraid of their government. In Burma, he experienced this first-hand when the Burmese were afraid of their government. His purpose is to not let this type of thing happen to a society. He wants young people to stand up for their view rather than give in to avoid confrontation. The book tells of people vanishing for standing up against the government. The people were never seen again. This leaves the people that wanted to stand up scared. It makes them think twice about it just because they want to stay around. He makes the reader want to work against governments that controll their society and spread democracy throughout the world.
