Paragraph: What do your results reveal about your personal views regarding privacy? (6 marks)
Activity: Respond to a quote.
“Most Canadians see the role of protecting privacy as a government responsibility or perhaps a partnership of government and business. At the same time, many Canadians feel the individual has a strong role to play in solving privacy problems. Two out of three Canadians believe that it is ‘up to the individual’ to solve privacy problems. These are not inconsistent responses. Most Canadians are seeking a shared division of responsibility amongst the individual, government, and business.”
