Test questions will draw from the assigned readings and material discussed in class: privacy. A guard tower placed in the middle of a prison, with all the cells facing it. They can"t see if anyone"s actually in the tower, so they operate as if they are always being watched. The ability to control what info someone wants to divulge or withhold about themselves. Names of major court cases related to the right to privacy. Bowers v. hardwick and lawrence v. texas (sexual acts committed in one"s home) Be able to describe the two positions on privacy as a distinct, coherent moral right.
