Privacy Vs Secrecy

Dear Friends!!

Privacy and secrecy are two different things.

Let me give the general definitions:

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to keep their lives and personal affairs out of public view, or to control the flow of information about themselves. Privacy is sometimes related to anonymity although it is often most highly valued by people who are publicly known

Secrecy is the practice of hiding information from others. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret. Secrecy is often controversial

Do you give importance to privacy? or do you say its not a big issue!!

Do you have some private things which you don't share even with your family members and friends?

What's the limit to privacy?

Can children have privacy?Is'nt it harmful?Does'nt it lead to secrecy

Is there any specific age to allote privacy to children?

Please feel to share your thoughts,don't keep them secret.

Cheers,

Do you give importance to privacy? or do you say its not a big issue!!

It is a pretty B-I-G issue for me......at least! i know .. i sound too westernized in this manner [my mom tells me everytime] ... but please.. i want my space too... i mean there are some matters which i am comfortable discussing in public.. and some not! So i may be having a sign board saying "Do not interfere in my matters, please!" but people [ desi people.. yeah.. im gonna get a heavy blow from DMers😛] don't sit quiety unless and until they gossip about others matters regardless of what is happening in their own house.... but its a fact.. i remember some time ago we discussed this at DM😆..

Do you have some private things which you don't share even with your family members and friends?

I don't think so... but there are some matters which i don't discuss with my friends but my family knows.. and some in which my friends are involved but my family isn't.. but on the whole my parents know each and every important thing of my life... so i guess i might hide some things in my professional life as it will get bit stressful.. Does that come in secrecy??😕😕

What's the limit to privacy?

I think Any thing which you are uncomfortable discussing in public is its limit.😊

Can children have privacy?Is'nt it harmful?Does'nt it lead to secrecy

Children have to be quite open to parents...they should discuss their day-to-day matters with parents as they give necessary suggestions for improvment.. but with outsiders children MUST be CAREFUL not to reveal each and every detail of their family as it may have got disastrous effects later on

Is there any specific age to allote privacy to children?

when children become adults and be independent... i think its time for them to fly on their own wings... they will come to parents to discuss/ take suggestion on their private matters when they feel like doing it

Well, First of all i share each & everything wiv my brother!!! (V r total of 4 sibilings! 1st bro, 2nd sis, 3rd bro & 4th me!!!) I share everything wiv my bro(3rd) and also wiv some of my best mates!!! 😊 I dont mind sharing my private things wiv my parents! Well, they are just ours and not strangers so i guess its wise to tell them everything!😊

I dont think there is any limit to privacy!😆 Unless if ur havin a bf/gf!😆

Do you give importance to privacy? or do you say its not a big issue!!

Yes, it is a big issue for me.

Do you have some private things which you don't share even with your family members and friends?

Yes 😆, but I guess I'll share everything with my (honewali) soulmate. 😉

What's the limit to privacy?

There is no specific limit to privacy...it should be left on the person concerned to decide it.

Please feel to share your thoughts,don't keep them secret. 😆

Its a very very important issue to me.I respect others privacy and expect others also to do so and they have to.

My privacy is related to my ideals.I don't discuss about my ideals with my family members.

What's the limit to privacy?

Our privacy should'nt make our family member's suspicious😆
