Question 2

Summarize how the definition of privacy gives rise to two streams of thought about rights?

Accepted Answer

Two general and connected understandings of privacy can be found in the legal and philosophical literature on this topic: privacy as a right to be "let alone" within a personal zone of solitude,and privacy as the right to control information about oneself.
It is valuable to consider the connection between these two senses of privacy.Certain decisions that we make about how we live our lives,as well as the control of personal information,play a crucial role in defining our own personal identity.Privacy is important because it serves to establish the boundary between individuals and thereby serves to define one's individuality.To the degree that we value the inherent dignity of each individual and the right of each person to be treated with respect,we must recognize that certain personal decisions and information is rightfully the exclusive domain of the individual.
Many people believe that a right to be let alone is much too broad to be recognized as a moral right.This has led some people to conclude that a better understanding focuses on privacy as involving the control of personal information.From this perspective,the clearest case of an invasion of privacy occurs when others come to know personal information about us,as when a stranger reads your e-mail or eavesdrops on a personal conversation.Yet,the claim that a right of privacy implies a right to control all personal information might also be too broad.There are many occasions when others,particularly within an employment context,can legitimately know or need to know even quite personal information about us.
