1. Do you agree with Judith Jarvis Thomson that every “privacy right” violation is a violation of
another right? Explain your position.
Solution
Thomson points out problems with defining
privacy as "the right to be let alone;' as Warren and Brandeis have done. In some
respects, this definition of privacy is too narrow. Suppose the police use an X-ray device
and supersensitive microphones to monitor the movements and conversations of Smith
in his home. The police have not touched Smith or even come close to him. He has no
knowledge they are monitoring him. The police have let Smith alone, yet people who
believe in a right to privacy would surely argue that they have violated Smith's privacy.
In other respects, the definition of privacy as "the right to be let alone" is too broad. If
I hit Jones on the head with a brick, I have not let him alone, but it is not his right of
privacy I have violated-it is his right to be secure in his own person.
Thomson argues that whenever the right to privacy is violated, another right is
violated as wel. even i agree with judith jarvis thomson .

1- Do you agree with Judith Jarvis Thomson that every privacy right vi.docx

  • 1. 1. Do you agree with Judith Jarvis Thomson that every “privacy right” violation is a violation of another right? Explain your position. Solution Thomson points out problems with defining privacy as "the right to be let alone;' as Warren and Brandeis have done. In some respects, this definition of privacy is too narrow. Suppose the police use an X-ray device and supersensitive microphones to monitor the movements and conversations of Smith in his home. The police have not touched Smith or even come close to him. He has no knowledge they are monitoring him. The police have let Smith alone, yet people who believe in a right to privacy would surely argue that they have violated Smith's privacy. In other respects, the definition of privacy as "the right to be let alone" is too broad. If I hit Jones on the head with a brick, I have not let him alone, but it is not his right of privacy I have violated-it is his right to be secure in his own person. Thomson argues that whenever the right to privacy is violated, another right is violated as wel. even i agree with judith jarvis thomson .
