Blog Assingment Three : “Less Privacy is Good for Us (and You)” pp. 131-134

Throughout the article, Etzioni brings up many issues to the reader's intention. Everybody is concerned with their privacy. Etzioni mentions how employers can keep track of their workers by tracking them through their employee cell phones. Even though the employees right to privacy is being breeched,shouldnt the employer be able to know where his employees are, while on the job? Etzioni also brings up a fantastic argument where a mother refuses to get a HIV test because, it would violate her right to privacy, Where at the same keeping the mothers rights intact, risks the future of that child. The real question is, what rights does the child have? Is it right to risk the health of the child because the mother won't get her self tested? This is quite a problem in many states as Etzioni stated in his a article. In both of these examples, Etzioni clearly shows the complexity of the privacy issue.
