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."

From the Paper
"Big Brother is definitely here. Just the other day the news reported that the average American is photographed nine to twelve times per day. Cameras are everywhere. People are photographed while they are driving to and from work, while they are parking their cars, entering their place of employment, and if the company is any size other than a mom and pop shop, they are watched at work. Whether one is making a deposit at the bank, buying groceries at the local grocery chain, gas at the 7-11 store, or browsing books at the library, they are being not only watched, but photographed. From the smallest market to the largest mall, every store and parking lot is equipped with security video cameras. Run a red light or speed down the highway, and one is apt to receive a ticket by mail via the electronic eye that photographed the car, license number and occupants. There is literally no place that is sacred from prying eyes, save the sanctuary of one?s own home, and even that is questionable. If one is a computer user, his or her Web surfing habits and emails may be randomly monitored. The truth is that what the local video cameras do not pick up, satellites orbiting the globe from space will."

Abstract
Technology is invading our lives not only through gadgets and new inventions, but also on a personal basis. This paper argues that people often have their privacy threatened. Whether trying to buy something online or just going to a public place, we are potentially being watched. Technology, whether for better or for worse, is something that will continue to advance at a fast pace, and yet at the rate our nation is going, no one knows what kind of future lies beyond.
From the Paper
"Another issue of technological importance is cyber harassment. That has been a problem ever since the invention internet back in the mid nineties. Internet chat rooms are one of the most common places this harassment starts. Once it has begun, it can continue outside of the Internet. The victim may begin to receive phone calls, and eventually get physically stalked by their harasser. In the case of Kacie Rene Woody, a thirteen-year-old girl from Arkansas, her harasser kidnapped her from her home, and brought her to a storage garage where she was potentially raped and then shot to death (Bocij 71). The best way to deal with cyber harassment is to try and make sure personal information is kept away from the Internet. Don't give out your name or any other personal information in instant messages or chat rooms (Bocij 183). Bocij also tells readers to watch what attachments they open and what emails they send out and chose to open. Following these simple rules will help the users to keep cyber harassment and crime away."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Wireless technology essentially refers to how one accesses the internet via any wireless methodology and is commonly known as WiFi or wireless fidelity. Security and privacy are important concerns in relation to the internet in any circumstance but these concerns are heightened when wireless technology is concerned because anyone with the appropriate technology can access networks across the internet via wireless access points even with appropriate security enhancements. The internet and all of the convenience, entertainment, and community it fosters often overshadows a darker underbelly that tends to get lost in all the popular press on the great things that are being done across this vast, global network which are concerns heightened with wireless access."

Abstract
This paper discusses privacy and today's growing information systems technology in all fields, specifically on healthcare. Computerization of health care information, while offering new, viable opportunities to improve and streamline the health care delivery system, the author finds, also presents new challenges to individual privacy interests in personal health care data. He feels that technical and organizational capabilities to secure and maintain confidentiality in data must work in tandem with legislation to preserve those privacy interests while making appropriate information available for approved uses.
From the Paper
"Concerns over the privacy and security of electronic health information fall into two general categories: concerns about inappropriate releases of information from individual organizations; and concerns about the systemic flows of information throughout the health care and related industries. Inappropriate releases from organizations could result either from authorized users who intentionally or unintentionally access or disseminate information in violation of organizational policy, or from outsiders who break into an organization's computer system. The second category--systemic concerns--refers to the open disclosure of patient-identifiable health information to parties that may act against the interests of the specific patient or may otherwise be perceived as invading a patient's privacy. These concerns arise from the many flows of data across the health care system, between and among providers, payers, and secondary users, with or without the knowledge of the patient. These two categories of concerns are conceptually quite different requiring different interventions or countermeasures (?For the Record,? 1997, 54)."

Privacy in the Information Age, 2004.
Discusses the concept of privacy in today's technological world.
834 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In today's information age, a combination of satellite and computer technology creates a large number of privacy problems, rather than providing the security they are promoted for. The paper shows that the biggest privacy problems are experienced in terms of public privacy and privacy in terms of the Internet. In the information age ,the right "to be alone" has to be respected in terms of computer technology, as well. The paper discusses, specifically, two problems arising from the information age: Internet privacy and electronic surveillance.
From the Paper
"Further surveillance occurs in the workplace, where e-mail could be intercepted, and Internet use could be monitored. As far as this is in the interest of the workplace paradigm, the employers are within their rights. Surveillance in the workplace could also be conducted by means of electronic cameras and telephone apparatus. Often this is done without employee awareness, and this is unacceptable. Employees should in all cases be made aware of any surveillance conducted in the workplace, and of all justifications for such surveillance."

Abstract
Patient privacy is considered such an important issue that legislation has been passed to make sure that doctors and other health care providers retain the confidentiality of their patients' records. This paper discusses the implementation of this legislation, known as HIPAA, and the difficulties faced by the health care sector due to the vulnerability of modern-day technology. While technology makes information, such as medical records, more accessible, it also allows systems to be abused by hackers. The paper examines how these problems are dealt with on an organizational and managerial level.
From the Paper
"The role that decision-making, management, and planning on a centralized level play in technology is continuing to increase (Leddy, & Fuller, 1996). This is particularly true in nations that are still developing much of their technological framework and comes from a lack of resources, instability on a financial level, and overpopulation (Leddy, & Fuller, 1996). Having information that is not sufficient or not accurate is also hurting the decision-making abilities and the planning abilities of many of these individuals (Leddy, & Fuller, 1996). It has been suggested that there are two very prominent factors that are limiting the success when it comes to organizational and managerial change within technology (Leddy, & Fuller, 1996). Some of this comes from not having enough adequate data but the rest comes from a shortage of individuals that are trained to make these decisions on this level (Leddy, & Fuller, 1996)."

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."

"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 explains that technology is often thought to increase employees' productivity, simplify work and make workplaces better; however, technology in the workplace also robs employees of privacy and employers of profits when it is misused by employees. The paper points out that experts believe that a certain amount of investigation about and surveillance of employees is necessary to manage a successful business operation. The paper then explores how much investigation and surveillance is too much and how can employees protect their privacy in the workplace. In addition, the paper offers a compromise position, which balances employer needs against employee rights, to the benefit of both groups.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many employees are uneasy about this monitoring. They may wish to keep their financial situation private, or may not want the employer "to know their savings patterns" or that they are going through a divorce. Many employees are especially sensitive about their health information; a concern recognized by P.I.P.E.D.A., which outlines the types of health information it covers. Sexual orientation is another area some employees consider sensitive and wish not to disclose to the employer."

From the Paper
"Visualize a world without cars, a world without telephones, and a world without television. Without these technologies we, as a society, would be almost paralyzed. We would have difficulty to move, difficulty to communicate, and difficulty to get information. It is thus apparent how fundamental technology is to the survival of our civilization. Technology is an integral part of our society. It is in the movies we watch. It is in the food we eat. It is all over the world that we live in. It encompasses everything that forms our lives. Technology is important because of the basic fact that it brings about tremendous benefits to mankind. Thus, with all these conveniences and advantages that technology brings to us it is difficult to imagine a world without it."
