In John Locke's 'Of 2nd Treatise on Civil Government,' he made the rational observation that every individual exists as his/her own island of commonwealth, before governments are instituted amon men. So why is privacy considered so valued - when really, it's just information that would be open had an entity(ies) started a trend of a negative association with that information.
And mind you - this is completely independent of the Constitution, or Supreme Court decisions and whatnot. It's not like the Constitution is the perfect document with perfect guidelines or anything. It was created by humans - imperfection #1.
So why?
Answer:
Well, the right to privacy is granted by the Constitution, therefore it really can not be argued separate from that context.
The basis for it's inclusion is probably the fact that humans, as with all animals have a desire to be able to retreat from interaction with others and do things which are for their own pleasure, rather than things which they are willing to subject to the microscope of the society around us.
Justice Brandeis wrote that the essential thrust of the Constitution is for us to be left alone. It is inherent in all th clauses that limit government power. If you want a Constitutional text to pont to, how about the 9th Amendment?
I see it this way,privacy is a right that we all have deserved just for being born into this crazy world.I really don't like bathroom stalls without doors,and I have had to experience that first hand for a few years because of a bad choice I made.Also if you have ever had to sleep next to someone who is only approximately 12 inch's from you and have to shower with 10 or more men at the same time privacy is a real luxury we all need.
n some cases they they take the privacy act to far, like myself i have been looking for my son for over a year, to let him know his sister has passed away, to date i have only gotten a run around over this, very sad but true, and their first thoughts was their was problems, when i told them no their was none, it was over work and split relations like he got married i moved from a sexual relation and abuse from his father and grandmother, but for the relationship of my children their was no bad, so to day i am stile looking for my son, goverment and the so called people finding had been no help in this area and to know he is in the same state, police say i would have to do a missing persons report or crime report for him, so not knowing about him or what he is doing i keep myself from doing that.
