Abstract
After an outline and introductory paragraph, the author starts the piece by describing the traditional Christian view of sexuality. Then, the author describes the sexual revolution of the 1960s and how both views paradoxically exist in modern society. Using this scizophrenic view of sexuality as a backdrop, the author then discusses America's obsession with celebrities and how that obsession makes it dangerous for gay celebrities to reveal their sexuality. The author then argues that all celebrities are entitled to their privacy and while gay celebrities should be commended for asserting their sexuality, no one has the right to demand that they disclose such private matters.

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the parapazzi (journalistic photographers) and celebrities, which has been bought into the spotlight by the death of Princess Diana in a car crash trying to escape from them. It evaluates the lack of clear cut boundaries when it comes to the paparazzi and their rights and proposes a new law to be enacted that will restrict the photographing of the famous to public events or events that the paparazzi is invited to by the star in question. Anything outside of those boundaries should be considered a crime. It reviews several famous court cases on the topic of invasion of privacy of celebrities and argues that celebrities should not have to give up their right to basic privacy simply by becoming famous.
From the Paper
"For many years the press and the famous were friends. The press attended openings of films, causes that were important to the stars, and other events in which the public had an interest, and the celebrity benefited from their presence. It began to change several decades ago when the press began to invade the private lives of the celebrities that they covered. Over the years there have been several famous court cases in which the celebrity has asked for relief from such stalking and harassment from the press."

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
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 Protection Policies in Health Care, 2008.

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)."

From the Paper
"Privacy is something that all human beings want and need. Humans seek privacy to prevent others from seeing and knowing everything that they do and feel. Whether at home or work, people require some sort of shield of privacy to freely to pursue his or her projects or cultivate intimate social relationships. If this privacy is not provided, the effects are negative and people may become reclusive or unproductive."

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.

Abstract
This paper provides a critical assessment of North American assumptions of "privacy" and the "right to privacy" which is, in fact, not regarded as a constitutional or legal right, but is embedded as an assumption that is inextricable from assumptions of privilege and wealth. This essay is a critique of the concept of "privacy" and a positive analysis of Heiser's article on issues of privacy in a global context.

Workplace Privacy, 2006.
A look at workplace privacy and whether employees really have a right to privacy in the workplace.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the fact that employees have expectations that they can communicate by phone or email without being monitored and that private offices and lockers will remain that way. The paper also discusses that, in spite of these expectations, most laws do not protect the employees' rights'; rather, they protect the right of employers to protect themselves from employee abuse.
From the Paper
"Most people believe that they have a right to privacy under the law, whether at home or on the job. For that reason, it is common for people to feel comfortable with the idea of sending personal emails or making personal phone calls while on company time. Despite these expectations, however, most employees are not entitled to complete privacy in the workplace. Rules do differ between public sector and private sector jobs, however, and workers do have some responsibilities in keeping the rights that they do have intact. Regardless of these expectations, or perhaps due to them, employees may be surprised to learn how little privacy they can expect in the workplace. Employee Expectations Employees seem to feel that they have certain rights to privacy in the workplace. They expect that they can communicate with other people freely, by phone or by email, without monitoring."

"According to World Internet Link (2001) ?Internet Portals are among the hottest Internet trends of the day.? Client Help Desk (2002) describes an Internet portal as ?a Web site which offers a great amount of content and services, either on many subjects or on a specific subject.? Major Internet portals, a further development of search-engines, include AltaVista, Excite, Lycos and Yahoo. Problems arise because of privacy concerns as some users don?t want to provide personal information and credit card details to an Internet portal and/or e-commerce company. The personalisation of Internet portals is possible via a cookie. Originally designed for consumer convenience, the cookie is an important tool to personalise and customise an Internet portal. Initially, portals offered only search tools but are now more personalised, enabling users to customise them by initiating their own start-up page containing their individual content, layout and colour. Furthermore portals started selling products too."

Abstract
This paper examines Alderman's and Kennedy's book which is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy claims made by American citizens and the fate of those claims in the courts. It explains how the book is intended for a general readership rather than for legal scholars. 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.
From the Paper
"In the very brief introduction the authors state that they began the book with the assumption that traditional forms of privacy are being curtailed--"whether it be the disclosure of intimate details about a person's life or interference with private decisions" (xiv). Most people feel that this is happening but have little information on how this could transpire since they often believe that some legal protection is available. After they began reviewing cases and interviewing individuals the authors discovered that the situation was even worse than they had originally thought. The purpose of their book, therefore, is to "take apart privacy and analyze the competing legal principles and societal interests" that complicate the issues (xv)."

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.

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."

Celebrities and Eating Disorders, 2006.
This paper examines the correlation between eating disorders and celebrities.

Abstract
This paper explores the various reasons many celebrities and athletes develop eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. The writer of this paper contends that although the causes for anorexia and bulimia are the same for celebrities as everyone else, celebrities are more prone to eating disorders due to intense pressure from the media to aspire to "perfection." The public's attitude towards female celebrities is defined by the media, which puts enormous pressure on celebrities to achieve and maintain an unattainable look. This paper examines the eating disorders of several celebrities including Paula Abdul, Karen Carpenter and Calista Flockhart. This paper also contains a brief yet concise overview of anorexia and bulimia, which includes the symptoms, causes and treatments for these disorders.
From the Paper
"Denial is a large part of any neurosis. By emphasizing Ally McBeal's attitude towards an obvious weight problem, the network belittles the problem, and in effect says it is cool to extremely skinny all this talk of Anorexia and Bulimia is silly. One of the problems for Paula Abdul was peer pressure and poor role models. Abdul fit the mold for eating disorders. She was a portly young girl who loved ballet and wished to look like her peers. The exact cause of anorexia varies in different patients. There are many factors to take into consideration. "A number of factors, including cultural and family pressures, chemical imbalances, and emotional and personality disorders collaborate to produce both anorexia and bulimia, although each disorder is determined by different combinations of these influences.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that in the 'Age of Information', the issue of invasion of privacy continues to dominate the headlines. The paper comments that more and more people are becoming victims of identity theft, one of the major forms of privacy invasion and personal information on just about everyone in the world is available at the click of a mouse. The paper questions how anyone, especially high school students, can reasonably expect to have any degree of privacy. The paper states that high school students are not protected by many of the same constitutional guarantees as adults, but their needs for privacy may be as great, or greater, than their adult counterparts. To determine what measure of privacy, if any, high schools students can expect at home and school today, the paper provides an overview of the issue of privacy, followed by an analysis of its various dimensions as they apply to this segment of the population. A discussion of current and future trends is followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the West, privacy assumes a more important role for many people, perhaps, than their counterparts in the East simply by virtue of the social emphasis on individuality in the former and the emphasis on the needs of the group first in the latter; nevertheless, people everywhere seem to agree to privacy is an important component of the human existence. This assumption was borne out by research conducted by Naz Kaya and Margaret J. Weber (2003), who found further differences even in the nations of the West as their concerned the reasonable expectation for privacy. "Although the desire for privacy varies from one situation to another," they say, "it appears that some cultures have a stronger preference for privacy and more privacy needs and gradients than others" (Kaya & Weber, 2003, p. 79). Other researchers have characterized different cultures as being "contact" and "non-contact" in their privacy expectations, with a clear reference to the Western concept of the "need for space" being involved in such assessments."
