The right to privacy should not even be a question everyone should have the right to privacy to a certain extent. The right to privacy is a recent creation of little consequence other than cultural custom. The right to privacy is a big part if not the biggest part of everyone’s freedom because if anyone can come into anyone’s house at any given time or listen to all their calls and read all their text people will feel unsafe and without any freedom; It will feel like a prions where everything is being monitor. Everyone likes their privacy even if they do not have anything to hide just knowing that whatever they do or where ever they go will be only known to them and those they chose to share it with making them feel in control of their life...

...care of individuals, families, groups, and communities. Individuals who become nurses are expected not only to adhere to the ideals and moral norms of the profession, but also to embrace the part of what defines a nurse. The Code of Ethics for Nurses developed by the American Nurses Association explicitly states the primary goals, values, and obligations of the profession. Part Three According to the American Nurses Association’s Guide to the Code of Ethics for Nurses Interpretation and Application, Provision Three states “The nurse promotes, advocates for, and strives to protect the health, safety, and rights of the patient (Fowler, 2010).” In the interpretation of provision three, the definitions of privacy and confidentiality are provided and explained separately. Privacy refers to “those aspects of a patient’s life and information that he or she can control” while confidentiality is described as...

...Privacy and Policy By Amanda Mullens Heales Computer Ethics 324 Professor Abedin May 2, 2012 Abstract Can we protect ourselves on the internet? Although the internet is a wonderful place to shop, explore and interact with other people we should always keep our guard up, to protect our privacy.

Terms of Service for You Tube/Google states that using services do not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in content you access. And you must obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. Many terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logo’s used in services.

...Medical Privacy and Your Information IFSM 304 Abstract With the increasing amount of personal data which is being compiled on the Internet and specifically medical information we must look at the ethical dilemma of who has access to our data. Not only general demographic data such as full name, home address, phone number and date of birth but also extremely sensitive medical information such as diagnosis, and medication prescribed. Even though the convenience of digital records accessible to care providers via the web can expedite service, security and privacy have to be considered and maintained. Ethical dilemma: Medical Privacy and Your Information | Stakeholders | Veracity | Confidentiality | Autonomy | 1: Individual | Individual must ensure truthfulness and accuracy in providing any information to medical personnel. | Individuals must the right for privacy of all medical information . | The individual patient must ensure their right to make any decisions in dealing with their treatment and how their personal information is handled. | 2: Medical Personnel | Have the responsibility to provide truthful information concerning a patient’s diagnosis and treatment. | Responsible to maintain the personal privacy of all patients’ information. | Have the responsibility to make appropriate decisions when dealing with patient data. | 3:Website/Cloud Administration | Must maintain the appropriate level of ethical and legal obligations and ensure all site users are...

...Bessie Napper IT 547 OL Data Privacy Trends April 28, 2016 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is a reflection on Data Privacy Trends of 2015. This paper will summarize my opinion on the talk about what matters most in data privacy. It will show how the panel has laid out a compelling discussion about the issues facing data privacy. Churchill Data Privacy Trends 2015 presented on what matters most in data privacy. They talked about the ever-growing demand for big data. How increasingly effective “bad actors,” leading to the worst year on record for data breaches. That privacy practices was designed only to deal with compliance or breach response. The conflicting global privacy laws and a growing concern among consumers about whose doing what with their data. Businesses are very aware of how consumers are increasingly aware of the risks and options as their personal data has effectively become a form of currency. As an example, telemarketers are always selling your information to other telemarketers in ways of contacting you in order to get you to buy things from them. As we live and breathe privacy all day we want to feel safe that we are not being violated whenever we go online and open a web page or email attachment. So by choosing the encrypted form of email is one way they talked about helping with privacy issues. With privacy and security one of the things they talked about is understanding where the risks are and how you can alter your behavior. This to me would mean...

...Policing Information Technology Bill Smith BIS/220 July 11, 2012 Alisha Johnson Abstract Policing Information Technology Over the past 30 years technology has advanced at an alarming rate. Since the inception of personal computers and the World Wide Web a need for individual protection occurred. Government reform was needed. In the 1980s two Acts of Congress were passed, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. Initially we will examine the advances in technology that caused each Act to be passed. Last we will determine what new ethical issues came about from this new technology. Although some may see these Acts as an invasion of one’s right to privacy, they are essential to protect stored information from being used in a negative way. “A survey by an ABA task force in 1984 estimated that businesses and government agencies lose as much as $730 million a year to computer crime” (Wolf, 1986). Two years after this survey was published the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. During this time computers are becoming widely used across the country. The major change is the type of information being stored. Financial institutions both in the private and government sectors are using computers to store valuable financial information. Computer hackers illegally could gain access to this information and sell it to individuals with the means to use it or vandalize the company’s...

...Is Google GPS Maps tracking you? January 18, 2015 Abstract It seems the possibilities are endless using Google Maps with GPS-enable devices and services. While most people still feel lost sometimes without it, even though they’ve probably travel the same route hundred times. It’s the added information that brings us to use it frequently. This paper bares the question do we use it without regard, making our gadgets seem so magical for the places and things of interest that it shows; nearby restaurants or stores we didn’t even know existed before or are we afraid to let anyone know where we are for privacy sake. Keywords: Google Maps; GPS, privacy. Is Google GPS Maps tracking you? Google Maps is the one of the two most used GPS services. Google is probably tracking your location right now, especially if you use Google as your browser or using Google Maps, it’s all in Google’s own location history map, When you set up a new Android device, or install any Google app on your iOS device, you're prompted to share location data which lets you see the path you’ve traced for any given day., now if you didn’t opt out when you first signed in then its been tracking you all along. It tracks any exact place you’ve visited and how long you’ve spent at that place. Don't be alarmed— even our teacher was surprised that it was very possible. It’s the trade-offs you make for the features you get. Go ahead check it out. 1. What kind of data does it have on you and is it private information...

...Abstract Regardless of your occupation, employees have the right to privacy. Case 9.1: Unprofessional Conduct shows how Pettit privacy was violated. Pettit was a teacher of many years and never had a bad evaluation of her work. What she did outside of work was labeled unprofessional by the Board of Education and they chose to fire her because they believed she was unfit to teach. I disagree with them completely and they did violate her privacy. Business Ethics is defined as “the study of what constitutes right and wrong (or good and bad) human conduct in a business context” (Shaw, 2014, p. 4). Based off this definition, I believed that Pettit should not have been fired. I also believe that the Board of Education definitely violated her right to privacy and they were not justified in firing her. Pettit was a dedicated teacher for many years and she did not involve her personal life in the workplace. Because of her sexual preferences, she was judged and fired from her job. The Board of Education should not have fired Pettit is due to the fact that they had no evidence to prove that she was not doing her job correctly and her privacy was violated. Pettit was an elementary school teacher who taught children with disabilities. The case study said that “Mrs. Pettit was one of those dedicated teachers”……and “she had been working with mentally challenged children for over thirteen years” (Shaw, 2014, p. 342). Pettit did not promote her sexual lifestyles in the...

...Summary “Privacy is something cherished by almost all Americans. It is the right to live life without the government prying into what we done right to be let alone. Privacy allows us to develop into individuals with our own thoughts, beliefs, hopes, and dreams. It permits us to decide how to live our lives in our own homes. Privacy allows adults to decide who to marry, whether to have children, and how to raise a family. The right to privacy restricts how the government can investigate our lives.” – Ellen Alderman Today, when voyeurs, marketers, and the curious are invading so many aspects of what has traditionally been considered the individual's inviolate personal domain, this book is a God- send in helping us understand what it is we have with the right to privacy, and also in helping us to focus on what is so much at risk. While the word "privacy" appears nowhere in our Constitution, a majority of Americans fervently believe that their right to privacy is a key element which is central to the way they live their public and personal lives, and that it is also key to the viability of the democratic system. Given the fact that it is a somewhat abstract, ambiguous, and difficult idea to define, privacy is indeed seen as being a critical and irreplaceable basic right of individuals. For example, the freedoms of expression and religion in the First Amendment protect the right to have private thoughts and ideas. The Fourth Amendment says the government...

...2010 Dr. C. Phil Campos Abstract It has just been discovered that Herman Hays, the owner of a car dealership, has been eavesdropping on his employees from his office. Tony Sulka, a salesman, was attempting to sale Ms. Drummand a car one afternoon. His sales skills were a little unorthodox which led Ms. Drummand to be confused about her soon to be purchase. Tony oversold the value of the car by potentially misleading Ms. Drummand to purchase a vehicle that literally did not exist. Tony was however just pulling Ms. Drummand’s leg and eventually came clean about the vehicle but not before Mr. Hays came out his office to reprimand him for his behavior. Tony’s fellow co-worker, Shelly Rice was curious to know how Herman overheard Tony’s conversation. She followed Herman into his office and saw that he was wearing a headset. To Herman’s surprise Shelly interrupted and caught him red handed eavesdropping on conversations taking place on the sales floor. Shelly voiced her opinion about Herman’s antics and told him that she could not work in a place where her privacy was invaded. She then left Herman to ponder whether eavesdropping on his employees was wrong or right. Employee Surveillance will be discussed in the pages that follow to determine and discuss both sides from the perspective of the employer and employee. 1. Explain where an employee can reasonably expect to have privacy in the workplace. Employees cannot reasonably expect to have privacy in the workplace, not exclusively...
