Position 1: Privacy
The private, non-public and intimate is the part of social life concealed from observation and in most western countries protected against official survey and media report. According to this, secrecy is a customary part of the common ground. This detail appears erratic at the first glimpse, because a system bearing undefined matter can’t operate as a system at all; it represents rather disorder or chaos. Society helps itself in a way of separation, creating a parallel system of privacy accomplishing the system of public order. Since both categories belong to the same subjects, whose action patterns follow the same causes and principles and whose interests are also identical, the separation seems incredible all the way through. The contrast between particular (private) and superior (general) interest created nothing less but the classical drama.
Position 2: Secrecy
Secret actions ignore the dominant convention. Once discovered they cause conflict between individual and society. The common term for this reads „scandal“. Such is present, if the separation from public and private interest is violated significantly against majority’s declared will or against established behaviour.
Position 3: Changing Process
Each secret loses attractiveness by more and more details getting to be known; each scandal wears itself out, if continuously published. If fundamental common necessities are not going to
be affected, the scandal indicates a lacking social balance. It does not only reveal secrets to public, it operates as a society-changing avant-garde, too.
