Ethical Writing Assignment: Privacy

When (if ever) is it right to intrude on another's privacy?  Is privacy a "right"?

 Yes, privacy is a right. No one can intrude someone’s privacy. Privacy can be interrupted by spying on another but no one wants to be followed by others on each step. Privacy is the information about yourself that you don’t want to share with others and it is absolutely a right.

But in different circumstances like in case of national security or in a state when somebody is doubted under to cause harm to others we can intrude his/her privacy. Parents can spy on their children but there should be a level of spying.

In your post, please contextualize your ideas in relation to Allen or Warren and Brandeis.

According to Allen, the purpose of spying decides that it is permissible or not. She mentioned all the purposes in her writing for spying. If a person is spying others or a corporation spying his customers for their self-benefits than spying is completely wrong. On the other hand, spying for protecting nation or spying for protection is fine depending on the conditions. Spying as a parenthood is permissible. I believe spying on kids is the job of the parents because kids found difficulties in choosing right or wrong paths. I am completely agreeing with Allen that the purpose of spying decides that it is wrong or right. 

Please discuss how you could apply your beliefs about privacy to a decision you might make about whether or not to apply techniques that you have learned in our course so far, such as Google hacking.

I believe in case of spying we can intrude someone’s privacy depending upon the conditions but publishing someone’s privacy weather it is online or offline should be punishable. Privacy is a right for everyone but when someone attempt crime or preparing himself/herself to attempt crime then privacy should be disable.
