It is commonly accepted as a common belief that the right to privacy
is one of the comprehensive right to profit of the personality, however
as for one side,there is an opinion which points out about the contradiction
to it.(1) Moreover, it doesn't reach the conclusion that
the definition of the right to privacy and the scope of the assurance of
it.What is the primary element of the definition difficulty.
Only 100 years has passed since the right to privacy is recognized as
one of the legal right and also the history of it as a legal right is very
short when it is compared with the honor right.It is just a recent thing
to come to be recognized in general as a legal right.And then, coming into
contact with another person is indispensable to a human being except for
the desert or a poler region where no man doesn't approach.Problems such
as the protection of the privacy and infringement to it is always lies for
the human whole of a life.A standard for the protection of the privacy depends
on the subjectivity of the person.In other words,the cultural background
that the person belongs to,the position of him,the individual value,and
the sensitivity of individual is always changing so it can't be defined
in general.These are the reason of the difficulty to define the right to
privacy.
We are in an information oriented society and also in the drastic change
of the world.The right to privacy is also changing as a passive right.I
would like to observe it from its appearance as a legal right to the approval
as a tort law right.
