Introduce yourself briefly. Based on your own personal ideas and viewpoint, provide a definition of privacy. This definition can be based on any aspect of privacy.
In your response posts, compare and contrast your thoughts with those of your peers. Did anything influence your perspective?
Note: Privacy can be a highly personal topic. In your posts, remember to maintain professionalism. Focus on the topic and not on the person.
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.
RESPONSE ONE
Hello everyone,
My name is Brittany Burrell and I am in my last 3 terms for my BS in Cybersecurity with a concentration in Data Analytics in which I have already finished the concentration requirements. I have lived in some part of the Midwest pretty much my entire life besides the two years I was in Texas. I was born and raised in Illinois, but I now call Wisconsin my home state with my two dogs, bearded dragon, and best friend. I am currently in a tech support role that is helping me to apply what I am learning in school to real life scenarios.
For this discussion I am basing my definition of privacy on apartment life within a building and how it pertains to the ability of residents within their own personal space. An example would be the controlled access that the facility maintains to their living spaces and personal activities, ensuring a sense of security and peace within their homes. Safeguarding boundaries from physical intrusions, such as unauthorized entry, or auditory or visual breaches like excessive noise or being observed through windows is important in order for tenants to feel safe and secure. Apartment privacy includes managing interactions with neighbors, landlords, and service providers, allowing individuals or families to maintain autonomy over their personal routines and relationships in a shared living environment. It is fundamentally about creating a personal sanctuary amidst communal living.
RESPONSE TWO
Hello, everyone! My name is Harry St. Brice. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity at Southern New Hampshire University. I’m also a field technician with experience troubleshooting network communication issues, and I recently transitioned to working remotely to support fiber damage response along the East Coast. In addition to cybersecurity, I enjoy gaming, cooking, and spending time with my family.
From my perspective, privacy is the ability to control and protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It involves maintaining boundaries over what information is shared, with whom, and for what purpose. Whether in digital spaces or personal interactions, privacy ensures that individuals retain autonomy over their data and can make informed decisions about its use.
I look forward to learning from and collaborating with everyone in this course!
