ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I have completed my English 105 research paper on the Public Surveillance Technology and its contributions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my course instructor, Abdus Selim, because I would not have been able to complete this work without his support, kindness, guidance and help. I would also like to express my gratefulness to all those students of North South University who were kind enough to fill up my questionnaires used for primary research, and my family and friends who have helped me complete this research.
ABSTRACT
In my research paper titled “Public Surveillance Technology: Way to make our city safer or just to invade our privacy”, I was trying to get the general feeling people had toward the issue of surveillance technology and whether it is being adequately used to protect the people from any unfair means or to hamper the privacy of normal people. I was trying to prove that public surveillance technology is not used for the safety of our society only; it can be used for atrocious reasons also. To test my hypothesis, I used both primary and secondary research methods. For my primary method, I made a questionnaire with 12 questions composed of 4 Multiple Choice Questions, 1 Open Ended Questions, 6 Close Ended Questions and 1 continuum question. I distributed these questionnaires to a sample size of 30 and after collecting and analyzing the data, presented my findings. For my secondary research, I only browsed the web for information, where it was relatively abundant. I found that both the primary and secondary research findings backed up my hypothesis thus proving it correct and valid.
