Social Engineering Task 4

My task was request holding my books/bag for a moment to fellow.
I was talking with friend and I acted to take out my laptop in my bag. So, I asked to hold my book for a second to him.
If I put some illegal stuff in my bag then he holding for a minutes, he could be an accomplice. What I thought that similar case in air port will not be succeed. The reason why is people who in the airport, they don't want be involved any incident. So, they might not say yes to holding stranger's bag.

In my head, few situation can be morally wrong, but not all situation of this. Sometime, I read article that person was arrested by airport police because of smuggling. Few of people undertook a bag from stranger for a while and police are founded the drugs in the bag. So, I think it can be both morally right and wrong by people. If I really need hand for moving stuff, it could be right. However, if I intend to do some bad things, it could be wrong.

Privacy Ethics

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

In my opinion, when we saw someone trying to harm another people or themselves, we can intrude the privacy of them. Absolutely, privacy is a right. Usually, we can't intrude another's privacy, but we might have possibility that situations could be harmful to innocent people by someone. In this situation, intruding privacy is material to protect others.  

In your post, please contextualize your ideas in relation to Allen or Warren and Brandeis (the two articles you read in advance of 2/21). 

In Allen's case, she spying her child, but there are specific reason behind spying. it included ethical reasons to spy on child. So, I think that intrude someone is should not occurred, but if there are no options to choose such like someone trying to delivery weapons with a big bag for killing people, we should do something even though it intrudes their privacy. For this reason, only specific reason can be excuse for it.

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 dorking.

 I would not want to violate privacy of others with my judgement, but if someone was harming people, I would get into the case to stop them without breaking laws. In Google dorking, anybody can show information of websites, but they do not make or get benefits from this information. Like so, I will not break law, but I’ll do what I can do for preventing serious incident.

Ethical Writing Assignment : Privacy I

A lot of arguments arises whether if it is right to intrude on another's privacy. I don't believe that it is right to intrude on anyone's privacy. Unless many people will talk about mother spying on her child. I don't think she's intruding into her child's privacy unless he/she will become grown up personality. As a kid, it is their parents responsibility to observe their children. A small kid don't know what is right or wrong. Besides, if you are doing it on a grownup child then it is wrong. Correspondingly, as one of example given in 'The virtuous spy' where McCloskey defend his belief that spying on minors is acceptable reflects the moral preoccupation of another, patriarchal era: the sexual seduction of young daughters by older men. But it is not clear that his concern was that the seducer is liable for tortuos "alienation of affection" or for criminal statutory rape, If we talk globally, I don't think it is right to interfere in someone's privacy.

The right to privacy often must be balanced against the state's compelling interests, including the promotion of public safety and improving the quality of life. A person has the right to determine what sort of information about them is collected and how that information is used. Internet users can protect their privacy by taking actions that prevent the collection of information. Most people who use the Internet are familiar with tracking cookies. These small stores of data keep a log of your online activities and reports back to the tracker host. The information is usually for marketing purposes

Constitutional rights on privacy:

·      The First Amendment protects the privacy of beliefs

·      The Third Amendment protects the privacy of the home against the use of it for housing soldiers

·      The Fourth Amendment protects privacy against unreasonable searches

·      The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination, which in turn protects the privacy of personal information

·      The Ninth Amendment says that the "enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people." This has been interpreted as justification for broadly reading the Bill of Rights to protect privacy in ways not specifically provided in the first eight amendments.

The origins of the right to privacy can be traced to the nineteenth century. In the reading, Warren and Brandies, they articulated a general constitutional right "to be let alone," which is described as the most comprehensive and valued right of civilized people. That was in late nineteenth or early twentieth century. For the next half century, the right to privacy gradually evolved. Today, every jurisdiction in the country recognizes some form of constitutional, common-law, or statutory right to privacy.

Privacy Ethics

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

To intrude on another person’s privacy or spying on another individual, I believe it depends on the context and of course the situation. If it is your job to spy on individuals who may be a threat or who are colluding with foreign entities whose interests run counter to those of whom you work for then of course it is right, now if we go into intruding on a private level such as the privacy expected between two people or a reasonable amount of privacy for children living under a parent’s roof then these are of course different matters that should be dealt with delicately and of course be judged on a case by case basis.

In your post, please contextualize your ideas in relation to Allen or Warren and Brandeis (the two articles you read in advance of 2/21).  

In Anita Allen's article she says that spying has an ethic's cloud above it. But I think differently I believe that Ethics much like a person’s feelings and emotions is subjective. My beliefs of what I consider ethical may not be what someone who is different than me may find ethical. My ethics “cloud” may be smaller, lighter and not as dark as someone else mostly because I have seen the benefits of spying and doing things that some may consider illegal or immoral in order to achieve the greater good. As far as spying on children I believe its very simple; as long as they live under your roof there is no privacy. Of course they can expect reasonable privacy such as they can lock their doors and talk to whoever they want on their phone but as a parent random room and phone checks are strictly enforced whether the child is present or not.  

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 dorking.

My beliefs haven’t much changed over time but I do have to work within the law now and I could be subject to civil and criminal penalties should I ever attempt to spy on someone using a method that is illegal. This goes for google dorking as well. Using methods that are illegal in the act of spying is punishable by the law.
