Lighter - State of Play
Privacy does not exist in our time, with so many different types of technology it makes complete privacy difficult to achieve. Even though we seem to care about our privacy everyone seems to need some type of technology that can locate where they are on maps or publish their personalities for the world to see online. The media is another example of our need for information. Magazines and TV shows base all of their topics on what celebrities are doing. The movie, State of Play, is a prime example of invasion of privacy. Each person in this film is searching deeper and deeper for more information about these two sets of murders. An example of the invasion of privacy in this movie is when two of the reporters are in the hotel rooms interviewing someone and in the other room there is a video and audio equipment to capture everything the interview includes. Privacy is unattainable in today’s society and it is such a big role in our society that it seems impossible to change.

This blog is very thin Look at the way the frame you have chosen actually tells a story. The founding father is in the background in the Washington MOnument. What would he think of the way technology as stripped away individuals' privacy. You don't say much about how privacy is necessary for a democracy to flourish.
