I came accross this article on my yahoo homepage and, since I'm always curious about the Sasha and Malia Obama and their seemingly charmed lives, I clicked on the link and read the article. It was interesting to find that the author of the article seemed to have a very strong opinion that too much information was being divulged about the Obama girls and their privacy should be firmly protected. I thought that most of the information given about the girls wasn't embarassing or unflattering at all. The girls have separate rooms, play the piano, and love tennis. Nothing too controversial. But the author used harsh words (ex. "The first lady is also guilty of breaching the privacy wall she and her husband put up around the girls") Do you think Sasha and Malia should be protected from all media coverage and have complete privacy even though they are so much in the limelight?
This also got me thinking...are we breaching Mr. Bolos' privacy by continuing our extensive research on his life? I know one person in my group even went as far as contacting one of his family members. We are all guilty of facebook stalking, googling, and prying our way into Mr. Bolos' life. When is it time to stop looking for information? If you found something extremely interesting and important but also very embarassing or personal would you still use it in your paper about Mr. Bolos?
