Do you consider privacy to be a privilege or right? In the case of children? Prisoners? Adults? Employees? Employers? As a people in whole? (From our government and etc) For the right: Zuel Camo Ninja Amaya has Fallen For the Privilege: For the circumstance: ~Michiko Mint~ NoranekoDea

I would say a right. But it seems that it is a right that we are losing more and more.

I feel that it is a right, but government interference seems to be increasing. Though stupid laws, like the seat belt one, irritate me more than the possibility of my phones being tapped.

Right!
Everyone deserves the right to be alone for a while, even if it's only to change. Sadly, people treat it like a privilege. Especially in prison. One of the reason prisoners don't have hardly any privacy is to demoralize them. Same reason a lot of prison shave prisoners heads once they get in there.

Depends on what you're talking about exactly...?
Age wise, it's a privilege until you reach puberty.. at least that's how I was raised, so I don't really know how others went through it, but I doubt anyone would leave a toddler alone because they wanted 'privacy'. I was forced to share a room with my younger brother until I got older and my parents cleared out one of their rooms to make it a second bedroom for him.
I don't see seat belts as a privacy issue but a safety one.. o0 where I live if you sit up from it's required, but if you aren't in the front and you're over 16 you aren't required by law to wear one, but they'd appreciate it if you did.
-shrugs- it all depends on the circumstances of the privacy? Like.. sure you shouldn't have to be monitored for this and that, but if you were seen as a threat to yourself or others, would you really want to give that person privacy if you were looking out for their well being?
To me it could go either way unless there's ore details for the reason of the question.. o0

I agree that it's not quite so straight forward as 'right or privilege' but more a combination of both. There are numerous things that a person can do to forfeit their 'right' to privacy, and in this case I suppose it would be more considered a privilege, however in many cases it would be considered a right. So long as a person 'deserves' it they have every right to their own privacy but this is kinda vague.
If a person violates another persons privacy without just cause they sacrifice their own right, but what's considered "just cause"? Stealing is definitely not proper. What about suspecting that another person stole from you? Does that give you the right to disregard their "right" to privacy?
I see it as a very fuzzy line, but it's certainly something that can be lost or earned, so I guess I believe it's more of a privilege. Especially in the case of children, they have to display that they are ready to handle it.
