The British are without doubt the most thoroughly watched people in the world. Although there are video cameras on nearly every street corner, the public seem unaware of their existence. Video cameras record drives who do not stop for a red traffic light, collisions between vehicles, reckless driving and violations of the speed limit on motorways. One explanation as to why these cameras are not considered an invasion of privacy is that both men and women feel safer knowing cameras can provide a form of protection. Citizens know that help is always available because guards are constantly watching the cameras. Cameras have also contributed to the combating of hooliganism at football matches and sports events, as the fans know they are under surveillance and their behaviour is much better than it used to be. Video cameras and security systems can keep the rise in the crime rate under control.

Closed-circuit television
1. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point, point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links. Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores. Videotelephony is seldom called «CCTV» but the use of video in distance education, where it is an important tool, is often so called.
2. In industrial plants, CCTV equipment may be used to observe parts of a process from a central control room, for example when the environment is not suitable for humans. CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to monitor a particular event. A more advanced form of CCTV, utilizing digital video recorders (DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion-detection and email alerts).
3. More recently, decentralized IP-based CCTV cameras, some equipped with megapixel sensors, support recording directly to network-attached storage devices, or internal flash for completely stand-alone operation. Surveillance of the public using CCTV is particularly common in many areas around the world including the United Kingdom, where there are reportedly more cameras per person than in any other country in the world. There and elsewhere, its increasing use has triggered a debate about security versus privacy.

Many countries still have National Service, where all young men must join the army for some time. This practice has its origin in the Second World War, and was started to make sure that all citizens had enough knowledge of military matters in case such a war ever broke out again.
In the United States during the Vietnam War, many men broke the law by burning the letters ordering them to become soldiers, and some even left the country to avoid national service.
In some countries, such as Israel, women are also required to do national service. These women wear the same clothes, carry the same weapons and do the same jobs as the men. If our government keeps its promise, we will soon see women in our army. Many women who belong to feminist groups are trying to get the government to change direction on this law, because they believe that women should not be forced into a mail world.

In my last year at school, I was asked if I would like to take part in the speech day ceremony, and talk about one of the projects I had been involved in during the year. I could turn my headmistress down, but was nervous about it. First I had to decide what to talk about, and find out exactly what made a good speech. I went to see one of my teachers and asked his advice. He told me to speak clearly and not too fast, to keep my hands still and to avoid staring at just one person in the audience. The following day I spent most of my evening going through my class projects and thinking about everything the teacher had said. Hours later, I made a decision about what to speak about and started to write my speech. I rewrote it five or six times until I was happy with it and read it to my parents. They made a few suggestions on how to improve it, and we finished what I would say. I practiced reading it aloud for a week and finally the big day arrived. I was quite calm about it, and when my name was read out by the headmistress, I was ready. The speech went perfectly, and everyone clapped when I had finished.
