Sarah,I find myself inclined to your perspective on the
importance for the right to privacy affect how businesses and
their clients interact. “The rapid increase in the use of
technology more specifically, the internet compels business
ventures to take into consideration the privacy and rights of not
only employees of the organization but even more importantly
the customers” (Warren & Brandeis, 1990, ). I find it
preposterous to say the least when you allude to the law not
explicitly outlined ght to privacy is clearly defined and
embedded in the constitution.
It would be best to realize, this nation’s achievement and
recognition would have been just a dream and not a reality were
it not the right to privacy was defined explicitly in law and has
always been followed to latter as demanded by the spirit of the
constitution.
It is true, as you have stated in your discussion that
autonomy is at risk whenever there is absence of privacy. It
also accurate, that the right to privacy is a value which is
deeply rooted not only in American culture but mankind as a

whole. For the purpose of clarity, I would like to point out to
you, that this right protects the liberty of individuals to make
critical determinations not only regarding religious beliefs but
also marriage, politics, moral values and even businesses in
accordance with laws without undue coercion or intimidation.
If the law was not being upheld in matters of privacy and
particular on this right, law breakers would be have walked free
without any serious legal ramifications (Ronald, 1996).

Topic: The Right to Privacy
The right to privacy has become a very important point of
argument in recent years. This is due in part because “privacy is
such a deeply rooted value in human culture” (Gross, 2004, p.
31). Because it is not explicitly outlined in the Constitution, the
right to privacy, as well as its scope, is incredibly difficult to
define (Marmor, 2015). While there are some issues associated
with maintaining the right to privacy, it has important value in
setting standards for law and policy decisions and has been
gaining ground across the globe (Anderson, 2008; Baghai,
2002). The right to privacy is an important human right which
should be supported and defended because of its impact on the
individual.
Privacy Defined
The most general understanding of privacy is that it is
“grounded in people’s interest in having a reasonable measure
of control over the ways in which they can present themselves
(and what is theirs) to others” (Marmor, 2015, p. 3). This
indicates that individuals have the right to control the way
personal information is disseminated to others, meaning that the
right to privacy has more to do with how information is
obtained than its content (Marmor, 2015). Privacy becomes a
complicated matter due to its different levels. Three of these
levels are described by Gross (2004):
the level of secrecy (access of the public to information
concerning the individual), the level of segregation (access of
the public to the body and premises of the individual), and the
level of anonymity (physical—as opposed to mental—attention
of the public to the individual). (p. 31)
Although it is a complicated issue comprised of differing levels,

these levels have a singular aspect in common: they involve the
protection of the individual. This protection is the reason the
right to privacy is such an important concept.
Privacy and Autonomy
Privacy is an important component in the development of the
individual as Griffin (2007) wrote, “Without privacy, autonomy
is threatened” (p. 700). Privacy provides distance between the
individual and society by protecting from intrusions by society
into personal life (Diggelmann & Cleis, 2014). Privacy is
crucial to the development of the individual’s personality
because it allows him to understand his uniqueness and
separateness from the whole. It is also important for the
creation of relationship because it allows the individual to
determine the level of information each person is able to
receive. This is particularly significant because without a
certain degree of privacy, everyone would have the same
information and there would be no differentiation between types
of relationships (Gross, 2004).
The Importance of Privacy for Business Relations
Businesses often gather information regarding their customers
in order to better understand them. Data gathering and
processing has increasingly become an important aspect of big
business, and the protection of such data has become a means of
increasing revenue. This gathering helps to “ensure the
continued trust of customers, employees, and business partners”
(Kuner, Cate, Millard, & Svantesson, 2013, p. 65). The right to
privacy is incredibly important for business because it increases
trust between individuals and companies. Consumers are more
inclined to interact with and provide information to
organizations that portray themselves as trustworthy with such
information.
Organizations have begun to utilize privacy protection as a
means of increasing brand confidence. By upholding the
individual’s right to privacy, companies are able to benefit both
themselves and their customers. The right to privacy provides

individuals with previously mentioned benefits of anonymity
and the potential ability to control what the public is able to
access about them. These positive factors combine to illustrate
the importance of privacy.
integration
Privacy is incredibly important for Christian business
because every task in an organization contains a people
component. Fischer (n.d.) noted that one of the most important
aspects of business comes down to the organization treats
others. Businesses are more likely to fail when they refuse to
care for people well, including both customers and employees.
Through mutual accountability and providing the right to
privacy to those they interact with, companies engage in
treating people well. This is particularly important as Christians
because it demonstrates treating others with respect and loving
them the way Christ commanded.

Communication
Top down and bottom up focus
Time
Durability
And identity

an important role in the development of an organization.
Time: time plays an important role in the process of integration.
While it might take some time for the merger to be successful, it
is worth it.
Duality: both the organization’s should make sure that they
understand each other’s culture
And identity: changing the identity of the organization to suit
the new organizational requirements

Topic: Can a Christian CEO of a secular corporation set an
ethical tone for the company without compromising scriptural
principles and at the same time avoid offending the diverse
religious beliefs of potentially thousands of employees
In a business world which has been shaped by political
correctness and being careful what a leader does or what they
represent can be challenging for a CEO or business. For them
to set an organizational precedence might contrast in
comparison to that of their employees’. This is especially the
case of establishing a certain religious tone to a business that
has a makeup of variant demographics with some employees not
holding that particular devotion. It is agreeable that a Christian
CEO can set an ethical tone for an organization without having

to compromise scriptural principals as well as not offending the
diverse religious beliefs of other employees.
Rules of Engagement
CEOs need not be timid about what they believe nor tip toe
around by not trying to offend anyone in their organization. It
is inevitable, but the face of the workforce is steadily
changing. “Today, the U. S. workforce is as diverse as it has
ever been, and it is becoming even more so” (Lawrence &
Weber, 2014, p. 379). With this constant momentum in
diversity, it is important for CEOs to be sensitive to the needs
of their organization despite their religious posture. Under the
Equal Employment Act Opportunity Act enacted in 1972,
discrimination based on religion as well as other criteria is
prohibited in all employment practices (p. 388).
A Christian CEO has to use wisdom and care in order to
implement ethical tones incased in scriptural principles. A start
to set this precedence is building trust in the organization by
living and enacting the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is found
in Matthew 7:12 (ESV), “And as you wish that others would do
to you, do so to them.” Not only is the Golden Rule revered in
Christian literature but it is also found permeated through other
religious collections as well.
The Golden Rule, or the ethic reciprocity, is a universal moral
tenet found in every code of ethical principles and in the
scriptures of nearly every world religion. Not surprisingly,
then, the notion of behavioral exchange is a fundamental aspect
of organizations, and has provided a theoretical foundation for
understanding organizational life from a variety of
perspectives. (Deckop, Cirka, & Andersson, 2003, p. 102)
From observation, Fischer looks at business through a “fish-
eye” lens. Not the fish-eye lens on a camera per se, but
business as a “fishers of men” view and a platform for doing the
work of Christ. Fischer contends that businesses fall prey to
failure when they do not care for their people and not listening
or caring what they have to say. He also mentions to serve
others as Christ served us (Fischer, 2011). This all intertwines

with the Golden Rule and is a basis for a Christian CEO to
implement scriptural principles.
CEO Dan Cathy
Sometimes making a stand for what is right especially for
Godly principles is not always easy. So is the case for the
Christian CEO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy. Chick-fil-A’s
founder, S. Truett Cathy raised a franchise on Christian
principles and stood firm in what he believed. Its corporate
purpose was “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all
that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who
come in contact with Chick-fil-A” (Bottomlee, 2013). His faith
practice even infiltrated into his business so much, that he even
closed every franchise establishment on Sunday in order to
honor the Lord. A few years back, Cathy went public and made
a bold stand on the sanctity of marriage going against the
sanctioning of gay marriage. This created an uproar in the
nation with many going against him and even some severing
business relationships with the corporation. But through intense
berating, Cathy did not compromise his values or beliefs and
still flourishes today in his business (Bhasin, 2012).
Conclusion
Dan Cathy is one among many Christian CEOs that
believe in setting the tone of scriptural principles in their
organization without compromise. Others such as Donnie
Smith, CEO of Tyson Foods; Daniel Amos, CEO of Aflac
Incorporated; and Brian K. Bedford, CEO of the Indianapolis-
based Republic Airways all live a Christian faith based life that
permeates throughout their organization they serve.
