Most people in society think they have nothing to hide. Everyone has the right to privacy in technology, medicine, personal life and many other areas. This has all been a problem for as long as anyone can remember. Most people in society don't realize that this is a much bigger problem than it seems. As many of you may not know, the 14th Amendment has been involved in many privacy rights cases. The privacy of every individual is important. Without any privacy, the democratic system we know so well might not exist. It is fundamental to have the right to privacy. Defense and security need the right to privacy because of the way they are created. The right to privacy was not an issue when our country was founded. At that time, people knew that their neighbors knew what was happening in their community. It wasn't like now; drunk drivers, terrorists or any other threat. At that time, the only means of transportation used was horses. The government we currently have in place is what organized our society. (Right to privacy)The right to privacy aims to protect us all. Without invading personal life, the laws are in place. When people feel violated, they know that their right to privacy has also been violated. This man, Jonathan Franzen, spoke of his feeling of intimacy; “One of my neighbors in the building across the street spends a lot of time in front of her mirror examining her pores, and I see her doing it, just as she can probably see me sometimes. But our respective intimacies remain intact as long as neither of us feels seen. Privacy is not a concern if people feel safe in their environment. There are also people who feel that their right to privacy is violated for the most random questions. (Right to privacy)Someone was stopped in Europe and asked to see their driver's license when writing tickets. The driver does not want his privacy invaded, simply by being stopped. If things aren't kept private, things like credit card numbers could be stolen over the phone, simple as that. Our technology has changed over the years due to people invading privacy that does not belong to them. Our right to privacy has increased as people only use technology to communicate, rather than in person..
