The purpose of this activity is to get students to realize that there are no easy answers to many of these issues. Have students partner up for this activity. Each student should select one of the opposing viewpoints and engage in a brief debate within their pair groups. Online research is welcome, or students can pull from personal knowledge experience. Once students have completed this activity, ask them to share their answers with the larger group and conduct an instructor-led debrief. Students will find the debate is not black-and-white.

Overview: There is tension between companies and employees over privacy in the workplace. No laws prevent companies from monitoring and tracking employees. Companies believe not monitoring leaves them vulnerable to misconduct. Employees argue they have a right to privacy.
