Privacy Rights The privacy of the individual is the most important right. Without privacy, the democratic system that we know would not exist. Privacy is one of the fundamental values on which our country was founded. There are exceptions to privacy rights that are created by the need for defense and security. When our country was founded, privacy was not an issue. The villages then were small and close. Most people knew their neighbors and what was going on in the community. They did not have drunk

A person’s right to privacy is being challenged with the high use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. What used to be considered part of your personal life is not so personal anymore. When one chooses to share details about ones-self to their friends via a social media, they are not always thinking about the “other” people. The other people could be ones current boss or future employer. Other people could be a school official, your baseball coach, your friends’ mother; you name it the list

importance of having a right to privacy by dissecting and analyzing the arguments enclosed in Michael P. Lynch’s “Privacy Brief”; it will closely examine the injustice associated with the violation of “constitutionally-protected interests” (Lynch, 1). In addition to contextualizing Lynch’s supporting ideologies regarding the importance of having a right to privacy, I will highlight the detriments of invading privacy and supplement my argument with reasoning for why the protection of privacy is pivotal and
The Demolition of Privacy Rights Civil liberties is a term coined by the United States that guarantees certain rights to the people by the Bill of Rights. Although the Right to Privacy is not officially enumerated into the Constitution, the Supreme Court ruled that citizens do in fact, have the right to their own privacy in their own home and their own beliefs. Privacy rights are an essential part of everyday American lives, in that everyone should be given the right to do whatever they want to do
Right to Privacy: Many people throughout the world do not realize how their right to privacy is at risk and the need to understand that it is very important, more than they think. Most people in society do not realize that it is a bigger issue than what it sounds to be.

secrets of their m ost intimate moments, or just "hang out their dirty laundry" on the numerous television talk shows. The more exposure, the better.

Somebody, somewhere, may know something about you that you'd prefer to keep private: how much you earn a year, what
murder trial has brought to light the ever-present tensions between an individual’s right to privacy, especially when they are a public figure and the media’s right to freedom of expression especially when the information is in the public interest. South Africa as a country with a history of discrimination always strives to uphold all the rights of its citizens so in a case such as Pistorius’ where there are two rights in contrast, it is never clear which one should be wavered in favour of the other
