1059 Words5 Pages

It could be done only on principles of private justice, moral fitness, and public convenience, which, when applied to a new subject, make common law without a precedent ; much more when received and approved by usage. (Willes, J., in Millar v. Taylor 1) People has been able to get the information more quickly and easily by the development of technology, thereby information on anyone’s privacy can now be obtained quickly and easily. In particular, privacy of public figures including celebrities is increasingly deeper day by day, in Korea, there is a weak legal action against that. Legal action for general citizens' privacy is much more vulnerable. Authorized public fihures’ privacy is rapidly spreading through the media and the general public’s …show more content…

Politicians’ role is leading the country on the behalf of for the people. That the public has an interest in their private life is thought as a natural thing compared to a celebrity. But because politicians are also people and citizens of a country, so they have human rights and dignity. One of the examples of the violations of politicians’ privacy is that the media reported ‘a extramarital intercourse’ of Mitterrand (Dr. Son 4), the late French President. In a society which sees ‘a extramarital intercourse’ as a negative gaze, that the president of a country acted such an action could be a problem. But at the point that it doesn’t become the problem when he led the country, it seems to be the infringement of privacy which went to far. Another example can be said about a scandal of the former US President, Clinton (Dr. Son 4). That Clinton did not do an action which the head of the country had to do is also right to be criticised, but if it was really just reported for the right which the public know, the former US President, Clinton experienced the infringement of his privacy. There are very different opinions on the infringement of the politicians’ privacy rather than celebrities. The title of public figure seems to make even more so. But one should not simply claim the rights of citizens to know, is it not that they also should protect their dignity and human

    Meanwhile, private figures “are not only more vulnerable to injury than public officials and public figures; they are also more deserving of recovery.” At first I thought that public figures were more vulnerable to scrutiny because of their positions, but after reading the text above, I stood corrected. Public figures, when attacked with false claims, can always go ahead and deny, and sway other people’s beliefs quite quickly; while private figures have it harder. This is because the fewer people who know them, the fewer people who will believe in them.

    The films The Nine Lives of Marion Barry and Anita, contribute to history in allowing us to go back in the past to see how we as a society chose how to handle scandals, which creates certain expectation and set boundaries during the era in which they occurred. With this information, we can then redefine the differences between events in the past and compare them today. For example, Barry was elected into office countless times after countless drug scandals surfaced about his coke addition, yet Anita Hill’s reputation was destroyed after she accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Many would consider this to be great injustice, resulting in confusion. As a result, the media plays such an important role in helping us understand and in showing how some scandals are very specific to time, place, and culture which is why people react differently to them.

    This same publicity is causing the party system that our government is based on to be considered futile to those who follow the president’s celebritism. The parties themselves allow for people to follow people with similar values to them and for the people to elect a candidate to run under that party. People no longer feel the need to use this when they can learn about the people themselves. This also destroys people’s belief in politics. They lose interest in the repetition of similar presidencies and people who want actual politics lose interest in the repetition of the celebritizing rather than the
