Six Word Privacy Manifesto
Note: This activity is a warm-up activity to stimulate thinking about values, beliefs and personal philsophy regarding privacy rights. This would be a preliminary activity on the path to creating a more fully developed personal Privacy Manifesto.
Part 1:
Turn to your neighbor, introduce yourself. (Name, Department, Years at RIC) Talk about these questions together. Then move on to Part 2.
· What about privacy rights interest you/concern you?
Which personal, national, international privacy rights issues make you want to know more?
· What surprises you about privacy rights in our national life and in the global society? Who has privacy rights... and who does not?
· Are there issues that confuse, frustrate, or anger you? Where do you fit into the privacy rights conversation?
Part 2:
A complete Privacy Rights Manifesto would likely be at least a complex paragraph if not longer. Today, given our time constraints, you will attempt a six word "micro" manifesto, based on a Six Word Short Story written by
Ernest Hemingway.
For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
Your Turn – Using the materials provided, write a six word privacy rights manifesto.
Sharing with neighbors is encouraged. Sharing with the group will be invited.
