Which third parties have access to your data? Explain any conflicts between privacy and disclosure that you or other users may feel in this scenario. Include details related to management and protection of your data or identity.

Signature Assignment: Personal Stance on Privacy Scenarios Paper

Because being able to use the advances of technology to better communicate requires relinquishing some amount of privacy, it requires compromise. For example, allowing social media platforms to track your other online activities increases the site’s ability to cater to your interests but also gives them the ability to track your digital moves.

Contemplate your own level of comfort regarding privacy. Review the Pew Research Center article, “Privacy and Information Sharing”, which argues that for many people, their decisions regarding privacy management depend upon the specific situation at hand.

Think about your own experience with privacy policies. Select 2 or 3 scenarios from the list below (or choose your own) and write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper analyzing privacy and tracking policies related to each:

Workplace security and tracking
Health information, convenience, and security

NOTE: Briefly summarize your experience. Include details that describe how and why your data is collected.

Ex: Which third parties have access to your data?
Explain any conflicts between privacy and disclosure that you or other users may feel in this scenario. Include details related to management and protection of your data or identity.

Ex: Do the policies have provisions for minors as well as adults? What control do you have related to editing, deleting, or controlling your identity? Can you “opt out” of any disclosure requests? What happens to your user profile and data once you stop using the service or site?

Describe how your awareness of the privacy and tracking policy affects your online or offline behavior.
Provide your personal stance on the privacy scenario. Assess whether the privacy policy is warranted. Provide rationale for your answer.

Identify how the protests examined in the studies by Brym et al. and Vraga et al. made use of new media technologies in their activist efforts.

Reed, T. V. (2014). Digitized lives: Culture, power, and social change in the internet era

According to Reed, “The political impact of new media technologies will depend on how the informational and communicational powers of the technologies are put to use. If information gathering is simply used to further already existing political beliefs, then our political lives will be no richer, and may in fact become more polarized and dangerous. If information gathering leads to expanded knowledge and more substantive exchanges of ideas, then greater political wisdom may emerge. But the technology is only the means; the ends, once again, will be decided by who uses the technology most imaginatively and most effectively” (p. 125).

In a paper of approximately 500 words (two double-spaced pages), apply one or two outside sources and draw on insights from Chapter 6 in Digitized Lives: Culture, Power, and Social Change in the Internet Era and articles from this week’s reading to examine the following:

Journal Entries: Values and Boundaries

Go to YourMorals.Org (Links to an external site.). Set up an account and then take the Schwartz Values Test and the Big Five Personality Test. Go to the Barrett Values Centre (Links to an external site.) and take the personal values test. After completing the above assessments online, you have a picture of the values that are important to you. As you think about those, choose one that scores as most important. Now, consider an ethical/boundary situation that you might confront in your internship agency related to either the clients or the co-workers.

Use the scenarios on pages 85-98 to consider the dilemma that most goes against the value you chose (ie: the therapist or worker went against that value).

Then write about steps you could take to stay clear about your values and to set appropriate boundaries at your internship agency and beyond. Be sure to include at least three approaches you could use to help you stay on track.

This reflection journal entry must be a minimum of 500 words.
