(The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Schoeman, 1992) Privacy is best understood as “covering interests in i) control over information about oneself, ii) control over access to oneself, both physical and mental, and iii) control over one's ability to make important decisions about family and lifestyle in order to be self expressive and to develop varied relationships”.

“A book is the only place in which you can examine a
fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive
idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of
the few hevens remaining where a man's mind can get
both provocation and privacy” (Edward P. Morgan).
(From Quotations about books and reading)
What is privacy? What is its gist? Where are the limits of it? So many
questions occur to every person trying to study the American English
language and to understand the true mentality of the nation.
As it is widely known, every American sets an extremely high value on
his or her privacy, both physical and moral. And this very privacy and the
protection of personal identifying information are of concern to everyone in
the USA. Citizens are addressed by the authors of innumerable articles and
conferences to stop the loss of privacy, either through the sale of consumer
databases or their own inattention. So, in this concern social opinions differ
and may vary from “WE HAVE NO PRIVACY AT ALL AND WE SHALL
GET OVER IT” to “CIVIL LIBERTIES KNOWN TO EVERYONE NO
MORE EXIST”.
In such powerful national stream people are specially taught to safely
maneuver on the Internet and minimize their exposure to bogus sites set up
to steal their identity. Users are warned about the dangers of phishing and
posting personal information on social network sites, special firewalls are
used to protect American databases. Moreover, no other computer, except
with American IP, can browse an American site.
But what exactly constitutes the danger? What are the data custodians
doing with the information in their possession?
People live under the constant pressure to be seen, heard, touched. Where
is the reason for it? Does it have any impact on other European civilizations?
What will all this lead to? Exploring these topics is the raison d'être of this
book, written by the university teaching staff. The book shows the specific
features of privacy in different spheres of live: business, internet, workplace,
medical institutions. The texts presented here are taken from reliable Internet
resources and are aimed to write a story straight to the addressee. The book
also provides different kinds of exercises which are supposed to improve
students language skills in writing, reading, comprehension and oral speech.
It is also supplied with additional material, namely I-net resources, privacy
lyrics which are aimed to give extra information and amuse the reader.
We will be really happy if you like the book and continue studying the
basic American values with us.
