Video Surveillance: Effective Crime Protection Tool or Invasion of Privacy? Video cameras were seen as a great invention in technology when they were first created. They provide peace of mind for people in any area where crimes can be committed. They also provide hard evidence against people who commit certain crimes (Haering‚ Venetianer‚ and Lipton 279). In some cases‚ they serve as deterrents against people committing certain crimes. For example‚ if a shoplifter sees video cameras installed

and the Soviet Union? Background: The United States and Soviet Union pursued a policy of “détente” or thawing of tensions from the late 1960s until 1980. This policy was intended to reduce the risk of a military confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. One of the central aspects of détente was communication between the two governments. Détente was pursued during the Nixon‚ Ford and Carter administrations in the United States and rule of Leonid Brezhnev in the Soviet Union. This

In George Orwell’s novel 1984‚ the society was brainwashed and controlled by their government. They were stripped of their rights by "Big Brother". The government says they’re at war‚ but the citizens never hear of the enemy battles or see them on television. The government makes them watch certain programs‚ and always has them under surveillance. It is as if the people of this generation cannot do anything without the government having planned it already or them watching what the citizens are doing

A key factor to keep in mind when examining the Sino-Soviet dispute and its impact on foreign relations in South East Asia is that the region is characterised by shifting and fluid interactions and security arrangements (Yahuda‚ 1996: 9).

Stalin took the advantage of this in order to strengthen the Soviet Union and spread communism. In the Yalta conference (Feb 1945)‚ Stalin demanded parts of Poland to be given to USSR. Stalin made a communist government of Poland although there was already a Polish government in UK. This kind of behavior made the

“Britain followed a consistent policy towards Mussolini’s invasion of Abyssinia.” Explain whether you agree or disagree with this view. (24 marks) Britain was very inconsistent in the way that they dealt with Italy’s full scale invasion of Abyssinia‚ now known as Ethiopia‚ on the 3rd of October 1935‚ after having vowed to completely erase Abyssinia from the face of the map. As a result of this lack of consistency‚ I disagree with this view. It can be argued that one of the ways in which Britain

In my interpretation‚ the biggest cause of ww2‚ based on the Munich Conference of September 1938‚ and Hitlers invasion of Czechoslovakia March 1939‚ was the Munich Conference --- partly. This because it proved that weakness in the face of aggression only brought more aggression; giving Hitler Sudetenland (September 1938) was solid ground and power provided for Nazi Germany; which will eventually break its promise (in march 1939) and attack the rest of Czechoslovakia.
