A Review of What the Internet Is Hiding From You

Justice is many things to many people. To some individuals justice is viewed as a form of punishment and to other justice is equity. Broadly defined, justice can be viewed as a means to exact equality from an inequitable relationship between two individuals or entities. Justice, according to the Bible, in terms of punishment is "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". (Exodus 21:22) What the Bible speaks of in this instance is that transgressions shall be rewarded with appropriate punishment.

This dissertation is about employee privacy torts. The age of technology has brought various social dilemmas to the forefront and invasion of privacy of employees at workplace is a significant one to mention. Gaining access to private and sensitive information of an individual by the employer is typically referred to the invasion of privacy. However, rules, acts and guidelines have been developed by the legislation of the United States to protect the privacy rights of the employees, but this aspect has not been widely expressed. Employee privacy in the workplace has been observed as relatively new emerging areas of concern in the modern world that has been highlighted from various historical events and occurrences. The advocates unequivocally declare that they should be leveraged with the privacy rights in order to be protective and competent. However, potential conflicts have occurred with respect to the privacy, as the employers have initiated to monitor the activities of the employees. The innovative technology, the rapidly increasing use of social media and the changing trends of the society are the leading components that have augmented the issue to paramount heights. In response to alleviate the intensity of the issue, legislative bodies have developed various laws to protect the invasion of employee privacy that include Electronic Communication Privacy Act. Moreover, various Supreme Court decisions in favor to the privacy rights conclude that this grave concern has been recognized as fundamental to the current society, even though the legislations do not explicitly assure the right to employee privacy at workplace. Few recommendations are provided for the employers that would facilitate them in developing policies considering the employee privacy with gravity in order to ensure that they do not run afoul of the law. Future implications of employee privacy have also been precisely discussed.

U.S. Justice System vs. India's Justice System This paper compares the system of justice in India with the system of justice in the United States. Although they are both democracies – in fact India is the biggest democratic country in the world – the two countries are quite different in their approach to formal justice. Moreover, the system of justice in India has been the subject of a great deal of criticism in recent years due to the corruption that has been found in the system. Comparing the U.S. and Indian Justice Systems The legal system in India is backed by the Indian Constitution and is a mix of "adversarial and accusatorial," according to the Loyola University in Chicago (LU). There is an attempt to respect both Hindu and Muslim jurisprudence and to "preserve the timeworn tenets of both" (LU). In rural areas of India, an informal system of justice (including distributive justice) is in place. The criminal justice system is an offshoot of the British system (England colonized India until Indian obtained independence in 1947 and became a sovereign democratic republic in 1950). The criminal justice system has four subsystems: corrections (prisons, jails), the Legislature (Parliament), enforcement (police), and adjudication (the courts).
