Your home is your castle and you are the supreme ruler within its walls. According to what the article ?How Private is Your Private Life??, you cannot rule your life have a completely private life. Why should it bother someone unless they are doing something illegal? If someone isn?t allowing you have a private life, then it should feel like a compliment that someone wants to watch you 24/7. As long as people have the basics to live and learn, then there is no reason that we can?t be who we want to be. The only parts that someone cannot change are when and where they were born. But once we get to a certain age, we begin to focus more and see how our actions affect others and ourselves. This is when we have to learn to overcome obstacles or else we degrade ourselves even further.
