Privacy no longer completely exists in the 21st century anymore unless person doesn’t use social media, cellphones, and Internet. Social media and Internet create an open environment that anyone can see into person’s life. Although social media and Internet are public to everybody, companies, schools and the government shouldn’t review that person’s content without his or her permission.

I have been asked to discuss privacy of information, whether information about past law cases should be available to the general public or medical and police records. Should companies be allowed to collect information, peoples address etc.There are a number of databases of information available to the public; an example of one is AustLII (http://www.austlii.edu.au/databases.html), which is a site that has all information about past cases and a search engine to make it even easier to find out what you want to know about someone.

The new ruling would have explicitly prohibited internet providers such as Comcast, Verizon and AT&T from sharing your web browsing history with other companies putting firm restrictions on how data could be used. This brings up quite the tizzy as no one’s quite sure what to expect with the new new bills and laws being passed for the ISP protection.

The Tendency To Lack Empathy
Webster's Dictionary defines empathy as “the ability to understand and share the feelings
of another”, which is one of the most inherent skills that humans possess. It promotes love and

interconnection opportunities from video blogging to instant messaging. This, however, does not
always result in a better understanding of our peers. There have been many points to support this
