Briefly describe what Alan Westin believes are the "functions of privacy."
(1) Personal autonomy: believes in the uniqueness of each individual, and in that individual's basic dignity and worth as a creature of God and as a human being. Therefore, the development and maintenance of this sense of individuality is linked to the human need for autonomy. (2) Emotional release: because life in today's society is hectic, it generates tensions for which we are not prepared, and we must learn to cope with them. (3) Self-evaluation: every person must integrate his or her experiences into a meaningful pattern. (4) Limited and protected communication: greatest threat to civilized social world is in a situation where each individual was totally candid.
