Abstract
This paper takes a look at the ethical and legal issues associated with both the creation and use of data in databases. Many databases contain private information about individuals, and the paper looks at the threat posed by the easy access to this information. The paper also mentions some measures that IT departments can take to help safeguard the information in their databases, but also notes the limitations to these measures.
From the Paper
"In the past, one could access the public records by traveling to the courthouse or to the government office. In recent years, however, a growing number of government agencies and court systems have made these records available on the Internet databases. It might be considered useful that the public can access government records easily via the Internet. But these open records can create havoc from the hands of miscreants, if they can access other related information from the databases. Many of the individuals, when gain the access from electronic public records, use these data for secondary purposes. The solution for IT is not to prohibit public records altogether from the Internet, but records should be selectively used so that public cannot gain access to the confidential information. IT department can, instead, use some bogus data records to check the break-in in the databases (DeGeorge, 1986)."

Abstract
This paper addresses recent concerns about Internet privacy, concentrating on legal and ethical concerns. In particular, a bill is being introduced in the Senate this spring which aims to codify in U.S. law the rights and responsibilities of information suppliers. In the past, the United States has taken a "hands-off" approach to regulating information, in the hopes that the industry will engage in self-regulation. Self-regulation is not advancing rapidly enough to satisfy either the Federal Trade Commission or the recent European Community Directive. The paper presents and supports the opinion that it is imperative that the United States pass legislation which will address Internet privacy issues and forestall any restrictions U.S. companies may have in dealing with Europe.

Legal Naturalism vs. Legal Positivism, 2002.
A comparison of laws understood to come about naturally or through some form of positive creation.

Abstract
This paper examines two of the general theories of law - legal naturalism and legal positivism, both of which have had an enormous influence on law throughout history. The first part of the paper looks at natural law which describes those diverse theories of law that do not accept human law as true law and hold that a particular "something other than the positive law is the true law". The second section examines legal positivism where one of several general theoretical traditions is based on the belief that the source of knowledge lies in experience, not in reason, nor in mind.
From the Paper
"A good example of the usefulness of classical legal naturalism can be seen in the rise of commercial law in the Middle Ages in Europe. As Glendon, Gordon, and Carozza point out, the rise of commercial law took place when Roman civil law provided no adequate coverage of new problems that arose as trade "emerged from the localism and relative economic stagnation of the Middle Ages" in the form of international banking, expanded maritime trade, and rising commercial centers."

Abstract
"The Right to Privacy by Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy claims made by American citizens and the fate of those claims in the courts. The book is intended for a general readership, rather than for legal scholars, and it is designed as if in answer to a list of points about privacy that almost any group of Americans would produce if they were asked to name the areas of privacy in which they were most interested. The authors respond to the prevailing idea in American society that there is some kind of legal protection for privacy rights.

From the Paper
"In today?s modern age, employers across the board have begun to resort to increasingly invasive methods to monitor the performance and behavior of their employees. Previously a realm of banks and retail establishments, employee monitoring has become the norm in most large and many small businesses -- aimed at everything from promoting employee professionalism, preventing theft and asset loss, reducing legal liability, improving productivity and customer service. However, like many things, utilizing the various (and increasing) methods of employee surveillance can also have significant and damaging effects upon the morale, and even performance of employees. Even worse, allowing legitimate surveillance to lapse into unfounded infringement upon employee privacy, legal or not, can cause nothing short of contempt within the workforce."

From the Paper
"Two general but major theoretical orientations provide the basic foundation for the present investigation. These guide the cultural and philosophical theories that are described in detail in the following chapter. The first relates to cultural theory in general; the second pertains to personal privacy. With regard to culture, it can be said in the most general terms that culture is the most basic determinant of the wants and behaviors of individuals. Culture is an important idea because it deals with the way people live and approach problem solving in a social and organizational context. Those growing up in a given society quickly learn a basic set of values, perceptions, preferences, and behaviors unique to that culture. These concepts are learned through a process of socialization which involves the family, social group, school, and other institutions. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that different cultural theories continually surface as researchers learn increasingly more about culture and society. New perspectives give rise to new theoretical bases for assessing culture. Many early anthropologists conceived of culture as a collection of traits. Characteristics and behaviors were spread from one society to another. However, critics of this approach pointed out that the theory failed to explain why certain traits spread and others do not."

Abstract
Scholars in the area of ethics have long sought the answer to the idea of privacy as one's right to be left alone. This paper asks questions such as: Is it a person's right to decide who gets his or her personal information? Does a company have the right to sell a person's private information to a third party without consent? This paper examines some aspects of privacy such as policies and the practice of said policies, fraudulent use of identification and the censorship of privacy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Maintaining privacy while online is considered to be one of the biggest worries of Internet users. So, in order to decrease the concerns of privacy invasion among consumers online, privacy policies were created. What exactly are privacy policies? Privacy policies are policies designed to protect the privacy of people online who are visiting a company or an organization?s web site. Privacy policies are usually posted for web sites in which users are purchasing products because personal information is collected. Privacy policies are not generally required for informational web sites. There is a big debate about company privacy policies. Do these policies really protect our privacy? Many say that there is no such thing as online privacy and that these policies do very little to insure secrecy."

Abstract
This paper explains that the key Internet issues of Internet security and privacy arise because of the anonymous nature of the Web. The author points out that cookies are nothing but small pieces of data that are stored on the hard disk of the user and are used primarily for storing the settings for the Web pages as per the user?s interest. The paper stresses that children are more prone to let out their personal information when they surf the Net and can accidentally come across offensive Web pages with vulgar, pornographic contents.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Man-In-Middle Attack is another form of information abuse in which a third party intercepts information flow between two computers and alters the data. Typically, this attack is carried out by mocking a well-known website. A practical example of this type of ?spoofing? was the 1999 incident when a website spoofed as Bloomberg News service, posted information that ?Pairgain?, a telecommunication company was being taken over by an Israeli firm. This falsified information posted on the counterfeit website sent the stock trading up by 30% and the trading volume grew by 7 times its usual. However when the hoax came to light the stock prices plummeted down resulting in huge losses to investors who bought the shares at inflated prices. This example highlights the serious consequences of internet crime."

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

Privacy Invasion, 2007.
This paper explores the complex issue of employer infringement of employee privacy rights.
1,425 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the nature of the workplace is progressing, with new and increasingly controversial ways in which employers can possibly impinge upon an employee's physical privacy. The paper illustrates how the legal and ethical ramifications of these tools remain complex and multi-faceted. The paper explores the major ways in which employers might possibly violate the privacy rights of any one of their employees through physical means; drug testing, genetic testing and electronic surveillance. The paper bemoans that legal precedents regarding these issues have made relatively little progress towards reaching a widespread consensus on how to handle such cases.
From the Paper
"Possibly the most interesting and contentious of the ways in which employers might infringe upon personal privacy is through genetic testing. The way in which the genetic information obtained might be used, however, often varies: "Genetic testing includes both genetic screening and genetic monitoring. In genetic screening workers are tested for genetic predispositions for example to chemically caused disease. In genetic monitoring, workers are tested for genetic damage caused e.g. by exposure to chemicals in the workplace," (Persson 2). The main concern of the business in relation to employee predisposition or incurred damage is not, primarily, the employee's health; instead, genetic testing reflects a concern for legal liability on the part of certain companies that expose employees to potentially hazardous environments."

Privacy Protection Policies in Health Care, 2008.
A case study analysis of the United States Privacy Act and its subsequent revisions and the Healthcare Information Privacy Protection Act (HIPPA).

Abstract
This paper presents a case study relating to privacy issues in the medical and healthcare field. It aims to design an executive level privacy protection policy and considers both the legal regulations applicable to a company's privacy issues and the company's particular privacy needs. The paper specifically examines the application of the United States Privacy Act and its subsequent revisions and the Healthcare Information Privacy Protection Act (HIPPA).
From the Paper
"Clearly, the Privacy Act, originally intended to apply only to government agencies, now applies to such non-governmental entities as the healthcare system and commercial businesses. What can be concluded from this expansion of the Act's jurisdiction is that, because of the Act, individuals now have an expectation of personal privacy. In order to ensure this expectation is met, all customer-related organizations must take steps, per the Privacy Act, to protect an individual's personal privacy. (Douglas-Steward: 2001)."

The Right to Privacy, 2007.
This paper explores the extent of Americans' constitutional right to privacy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the Bush Administration's terrorist surveillance program, the government's recording of Internet searches and other forms of data collection have all raised basic concerns about the rights possessed by United States citizens. The paper explains that privacy as a legal right and concept is notoriously difficult to define and demonstrates how varying definitions of privacy often arise from what one segment of society views as a moral imperative. The paper brings varied court rulings that show how definitions of privacy in the United States continue to be highly flexible.
From the Paper
"To understand the opposing sides, one must first understand the issue. Privacy as a legal right and precept is notoriously difficult to describe. Even to the lay person, it can mean many different things. Privacy, in the widest sense, might be best understood as the right of an individual to control access to personal information and activities; to prevent others from gaining access to these facts and activities unless there exists some pressing social need for this "personal data" to made public knowledge. As well, privacy could be said to include the freedom from such searches and seizures that might tend to expose this "personal data" - in particular, such searches and seizures as might be conducted without regard to due process of law, and which violate other basic principles and rights established under law."
