Psychologist believe to understand the act of privacy we need to realize that we have many parts of ourselves. When your going to be broadcast , you prepare a version of yourself that fits the occasion , "your public self."Naturally we want to be able to control our self preservation.
Privacy is the right to use and decide which version of your self will be known to others in a particular time and place. Privacy is a version of control. Does wikileaks violate the act of privacy of robbing diplomats the control of their self-presentation. Is there a difference between state secrecy and personal privacy. Is it ok for the state department to do any business if its limited to one version of itself. This type of state secrecy in our government has decided to withhold information from their own people. Could that be the government abusing its own power?
In this collage the world represents our public self. How we want to me viewed by the world and how we go out of our way to make sure our public self is suitable for the situation. How does the united States project itself. Does the government have the right to withhold information to keep its reputation so to speak especially for international affairs. Hows does the world view each other in general. The 2 men represent how we communicate to each other.
