There are legal issues around people’s activities and privacy in Fetlife. Some of sexual activities may be behind the boundaries that has been established by some of the participants, or some of the members can be not in adult age. There are no proof or no examine of anything in online community of BDSM members. This issue might call for some changes in the future, in membership access or legal changes. This article gave brief information about some of the issies and I learn about to to reflect some of the issues in my research.
The privacy of human being has drastically changed with the advent of internet. On a scale of 1 to 10, the privacy of an internet user is a -1 or may be less. Social Networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace etc are mainly responsible for this privacy leakage. This short paper is dedicated to review the change of privacy policy by Facebook on December 2009 and its impact on public privacy and security.
Feed by Matthew Tobin Anderson is a compelling and alluring novel about the boundaries of personal privacy. In a futuristic world, the United State’s technology and advertising have taken away every inch of privacy and freedom that the citizens once had because of the “feed.” The “feed” is an advanced internet system that connects you to a variety of everyday occurrences, such as types of music, entertainment programs, and even others’ memories. In this world, normalities include parents designing what their children would look like, schools being run by major corporations, and corporations holding more power than the president.
Today, we can find tabloids and magazines on shelves of supermarkets or kiosks with pictures of celebrities or occasionally normal people who do not realize that they were photographed while they were in their home or enjoying their vacations. The motivation for those photographers who take those photos are probably the same which motivated Darwin Bonaparte to film John in the novel “Brave New World”. They aspire to be famous and wealthy. They are truly selfish, irresponsible and materialistic. Indeed, they gravely violate the right of those people to have privacy. For example, an article published in the USA Today mentions and presents different opinions about it,
Michael J. Ackerman et al. (2013) describes his experience as well as topics discussed at the meeting of the American Medical Informatics Association that he attends each year. One session titled “Privacy, mHealth, and Social Media,” brought up an important question; can you ethically look up a troubling patient on social media in order to get information that did not add up during your patient interview? (Ackerman, 2013). Resulting from HIPAA only covering providers and not patients, medical information given away on social media by an individual has waved their right to privacy, giving all users access to the information posted (Ackerman, 2013). It is important for social media users to understand that the information they post, as well as store in the personal health record kept on their smart-phone, is accessible to other users and further and unwanted information may also be released or obtained in the case of one losing their phone. Ackerman also states that due to patients now having the ability to send data obtained from m-health devices to their physician and expect an immediate response and interpretation, there are now several guidelines for physicians to follow when using social media (2013).
In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, privacy is something that doesn’t exist. In the story set in a dystopian future everybody knows everything about everybody, nothing is left a secret. People discuss their personal affairs with others in public; for example, when Lenina talks to Bernard about their date in the locker room, Bernard feels very uncomfortable, but Lenina is fine with it because everyone knows about others and about whom they are going out with. Also, at the end of the novel, all the people and media gather at the “savage’s” house to interview him and see him whip himself. Similarly, in the society privacy of people is being compromised, courtesy of the USA PATRIOT Act.
“With liberty and justice for all.” Our founding fathers envisioned a country where liberty, meaning freedom, and justice, meaning morally right actions, would be for all citizens, but in our modern society, today, can we really say this is true? In a society, where we all have felt deceived by our own government through matters involving privacy, it is hard to say whether our government is looking after us or looking out for us. Keizer, the author of “Privacy,” presents the idea that humans are important so protecting our privacy is essential. Huxley, the author of “Brave New World,” critiques our modern society by describing a society built on the idea of consumerism: efficiency, productivity, and stability.
Ever feel like you are being watched? How about having the feeling like some one is following you home from school? Well that is what it will be like if users do not have the privacy on the Internet they deserve. EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center), a advocacy group that has been fighting the Clinton Administration for tougher online consumer protection laws, and other privacy protection agencies have formed to protect the rights and privileges of the Internet user. With the U.S. Government, EPIC has had to step in and help small companies and Internet users with their own privacy problems, hackers getting into their systems and ruining the networks, and crackers stealing and decrypting private
I love this app and I would definitely use it. When I go to Victoria’s Secret, I feel so embarrassed and uncomfortable when someone asks to help me measure my bra size. I think Third Love really helps customers solve this problem because they can use this app to measure their own size by following some simple steps at home. However, how can customers trust the company about their privacy? Even though all photos that are sent to Third Love are not saved anywhere, I still wondering the privacy problem. Today, the world is surrounded by technology, so no one knows what will happen in the future. I think this is a big problem for the company, and from the comments I can see many people asked the same question. Other than that, the concept of this
Mr. Woods’ essay “Has the Internet Killed Privacy?” speaks about peoples’ opinions on privacy in the internet age and how much they are willing to share. The overall belief appears to be a mixture of some form of privacy because privacy settings can be setup and peer pressure. Those few that feel they have to use social media simply because everyone else is doing it think they have privacy by choosing to have only friends and families see their posts and do not bother reading the terms and agreements of their chosen format. I do not believe anyone is to blame. The companies are just trying to cover their bases; however I think that they can make things more user friendly and transparent. The terms and agreements are generally several pages
Almost all human behavior has symbolic value to it, including sexual behavior. Biologically , we are driven to reproduce, but this does not dictate who, when, where, what and how by which we choose to do so;(Arany, 2013) social interaction is the driving force behind this. These characteristics are then determined by what we have learned through our culture. BDSM community might stem from mutual sexual fantasies but really its our first non-exclusionary group. When outside the bedroom most of these kinksers would blend in with the rest of society.
BDSM stands for bondage, discipline, submission, and masochism and is a type of sexual act that is considered “deviant” in our society since these acts violate social norms we have towards how sexual acts should be performed. BDSM is often performed by a dominatrix which is described as “a woman who takes the dominant or sadistic role in sado-masochistic sexual activities” while the man is subjected to the submissive role (Oxford English Press). This project seeks to understand the views on where BDSM stems from and the health benefits and drawbacks of BDSM. Two of the articles viewed BDSM as a healthy relationship while the other two articles argued that this act was unhealthy. In addition, two of the articles viewed BDSM as conforming to societal roles while the other two viewed it as being a social deviation.
The purpose of the article is to provide a holistic understanding of the sexting experiences between men and women by interviewing 40 young people aged 18-25 years. Further, the interview aims to explore the motivation and rationale behind individuals participates in sexualized culture, particularly sexting. The findings revealed “sexting as an everyday” socio-sexual operation countering with the common conception viewing sexting as “risky” and deviant. This research focuses on the daily negotiation and involvement of sexting rather than the overgeneralized interpretation of the sexting as dangerous and deviant.
It’s when two generation cannot understand differences of outlook or style between people of different generations.
Human sexuality is an enormous part of a human life and people are constantly faced with sexuality challenges. As the world evolves, ideas and inventions are voiced and created to make life better for everyone and the internet is one of these creations becoming an essential part of many lives all over the world. Cybersex is a growing form of sexual expression over a computer where people get arousal through typed text, video, images and spoken voice (Waskul : 2003). Because cybersex is so wholly person, yet so wholly impersonal creates many interesting qualities in the phenomenon (Waskul: 2003). With the internet rapidly becoming one of the most used tools in the world, it seems only an
People have an intimate relationship with their parents, friends, and partners. For this particular essay I am going to chose intimate relationships between married couples. Every person deserves privacy. Every couple has different opinions on what's private and what's not. For example, some couples believe in sharing emails with each other and others don't because it's private. Trust, privacy and secrets in intimate relationships are different from other situations and this can lead to negative outcomes.
