Describe "reciprocal obligation" as an ethical source of the right to privacy.

What will be an ideal response?


The right to privacy is founded in the individual's fundamental, universal right to autonomy, in our right to make decisions about our personal existence without restriction. This right is restricted by a social contract in our culture that prevents us from infringing on someone else's right to her or his personal autonomy. Philosopher and academic Patricia Werhane describes this boundary as a "reciprocal obligation"; that is, for an individual to expect respect for her or his personal autonomy, that individual has a reciprocal obligation to respect the autonomy of others.
