Privacy & Confidentiality

This is a very interesting topic and can be argued in many ways. I personally believe that many New Media platforms are destroying our privacy on the internet. If you think about traditional social relationships they are actually based on very defined rules. Lets take this class for instance. The class consists of a teacher and students. We speak to each other in a certain way. This is not the way we speak with our parents or friends, but our teacher. Such a relationship is very important and cannot be used within the bounds of another relationship. I could not talk like a teacher to my brother because he would find it odd. With new media, these defined roles can become illegitimate because someone you know will see you in a different role. Then their view of you will be undermined.
