  1. Hi,
  2. I'm Brenda Martinez and this is my presentation
  3. on the pros and cons of authoritarianism.
  4. So we're starting off with the pros and the first one to put his safety
  5. because I think when people are on camera all the time and their face is
  6. right there for everyone to see,
  7. they're scared to break a crime because they were caught like really easily
  8. and with the social credit system when they get caught
  9. there's like
  10. media consequences and like a ton of things
  11. they can't travel and they can't go places, they can't stay at hotels, they can't
  12. enjoy their hobbies.
  13. So I think
  14. with this mix
  15. the country a much safer place,
  16. the next
  17. um
  18. pro is productivity
  19. because I think with the social credit system especially
  20. people are encouraged to be productive
  21. and
  22. I think that
  23. yeah,
  24. by enforcing
  25. and giving rewards
  26. when people like help people or
  27. spend their money on groceries and not
  28. unproductive things like alcohol and job gains,
  29. Elsie will be productive
  30. and
  31. it helps them get do more.
  32. And my third pro is behavior,
  33. this kind of goes along with safety, but I think that
  34. people will behave a lot better when they're being filmed and when
  35. if they don't behave
  36. they will have a bunch of privileges taken away from them
  37. with the social credit system.
  38. So I think with that in place
  39. this will help behavior
  40. and
  41. it will help decrease crime and increase productivity.
  42. So next we're going to go into the cons
  43. and
  44. most of these are the taking of liberties
  45. and the first one
  46. was
  47. privacy.
  48. Um you're on the on the camera all the time your faces
  49. out there for everyone to see.
  50. So you don't have much privacy
  51. like what you buy
  52. and what you do every single day.
  53. It's all tracked and they can see that and they use that
  54. influence sector rewards you get and the privileges you get in life.
  55. So I think
  56. you lose a lot of privacy when you
  57. implement the
  58. official recognition and
  59. it's a credit system.
  60. The next part I put his travel,
  61. I think
  62. that's like an important liberty. We should be able to go where you want
  63. and they took that from you if you have bad credit.
  64. And
  65. it's kind of fascinating to travel, but also hobbies,
  66. I think
  67. it's like they said that if you spend money on video games,
  68. your social credit system will go down
  69. and I feel like people should be able to have hobbies
  70. and the government shouldn't be able to judge people and
  71. take away privileges based on those hobbies.
  72. And it's up to the government to decide which
  73. hobbies are good and which hobbies are bad.
  74. So, I think that
  75. by taking away these liberties,
  76. it shows that
  77. social credit and
  78. um,
  79. official recognition systems,
  80. they have some cons to them also.
  81. And finally, moving to my conclusion,
  82. I think that
  83. in this system,
  84. the social credit and
  85. facial recognition system is most
  86. is like almost always implemented by authoritarian governments
  87. because
  88. in democratic governments it could be, but the people wouldn't want it,
  89. it'd be harder to get past.
  90. So in authoritarian governments,
  91. I think
  92. it can be good,
  93. but I think the laws have to be just
  94. and they have to be agreed upon by the people.
  95. And I think once the laws are implemented,
  96. a social credit system and vehicle, facial recognition system
  97. would benefit society,
  98. but
  99. it can't go too far,
  100. like
  101. taking
  102. away your privileges for the hobbies you choose
  103. as long as you're not destructive to like other people.
  104. Um, I feel like
  105. then it's fine.
  106. So yeah, I think that
  107. it's it could be good, but it has to be implemented correctly with the right laws.
