 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information

about themselves, and thereby express them selectively. The boundaries and content of what is

considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes. When

something is private to a person, it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive

to them. The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include

the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information. Privacy may also take the

form of bodily integrity. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy)

According to Julie A. Daymut, M.A., CCC-SLP, being respectful of someone’s

personal space is a social skill. Individuals who have difficulty showing appropriate social skills

may unknowingly invade your personal space. Conversely, individuals with social-skill

difficulties or sensory issues may be extremely opposed to you being in their personal space. As

well, it is important to keep in mind that different cultures have different ideas about personal

space.

In Caraga Regional Science High School, the bonds between the students are

undeniably strong and pleasing. However, because of this kind of closeness, respecting privacy

may somehow be neglected thinking someone should know his/her friend’s secret since they

have already established a connection between them. This study aims to determine the

CaraScians’ views and understanding about the importance of respecting one’s privacy (personal

space) to achieve emotional security.

 Significance of the Study

This study may benefit the following:

 Students of CRSHS – They will realize the importance of respecting someone’s

privacy. In line with this, their capability as a social being that understand and

respect others will improve.

Scope and Limitation

This study focused only in the essence of respecting one’s personal space or

privacy among the CaraScians to achieve emotional security. The respondents of the

study were the students of Caraga Regional Science High School.

 CHAPTER 2: METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The descriptive-analysis using the survey method and interview was employed in this

study. These methods were deeming appropriate because it presented the ideas and responds of

the CaraScians regarding the topic of the study.

Participants

The participants of the study were the students of CRSHS.

Instrument

In gathering the data that was needed in the study, a researcher-made, 15-item

questionnaire was used. The questionnaires were distributed to 30 students. Moreover, the

researchers also conducted an interview to 5 students in CRSHS. The interviewees were asked 5

questions regarding the topic of the study.

The following are the questions used for the interview:

1. Why is it important to respect someone’s personal space or privacy?

2. Do you agree that respecting privacy promotes emotional security? Why?

3. When should a person depend on the idea of privacy? Is there a limitation?

4. If your friend/classmate has a problem and yet he still wants to keep it to himself, in what

way can you show that you respect his privacy and at the same time having the intention

of helping him?

5. As a student, how can you encourage everyone to respect other’s privacy and not just

judge them because of their silence

 CHAPTER III: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This research was conducted to know whether the students of CRSHS really understand

the essence of respecting one’s personal space and if they have applied it to some situations in

their lives. As such, the researchers used questionnaires and interviewed some of CRSHS

students.

There were 5 recipients of the interview for which they answered the following questions:

1. Why is it important to respect someone’s personal space or privacy?

2. Do you agree that respecting privacy promotes emotional security? Why?

3. When should a person depend on the idea of privacy? Is there a limitation?

4. If your friend/classmate has a problem and yet he still wants to keep it to himself, in

what way can you show that you respect his privacy and at the same time having the

intention of helping him?

5. As a student, how can you encourage everyone to respect other’s privacy and not just

judge them because of their silence?

Their answers were: (note: Answers were edited. The complete and exact answers are located

in the Appendices, manuscripts section.)

Justine A. Escobal, 16 years old

1. I believe that it is very much important for one person to respect another person’s privacy

or personal space because some people might be very uncomfortable with people that

they don’t know well to invade their own privacy. After all, we are all entitled to have
 our own life and some people may choose keep out of it and it is important because

paying respect to one’s privacy is like paying respect also to the person.

2. Yes I believe so. Whenever you feel emotional, there are some people who tend to get in

the way or try to break through your walls but because there are different types of person,

like some people prefer to keep themselves out. Therefore, it provides emotional security.

3. A person should always depend on privacy because this is one of the many bullet

armours that you have to protect yourself against many people that may or may not

betray you and I believe that yes, there are limitations because after all, you should open

up to those people that you have to open up to especially your family, your parents, and

your close friends. So, there is a limitation but one should always respect one’s privacy

4. Being a true friend, I believe that talking to that friend to that person, to that family

member is very essential. You have to discover and if you really are a close friend to

him/her, you would know why she’s feeling that way and know also when to ask about it

and you just talk to them and if they tell you to not get to deep into what they are

experiencing then you back off, but if you really do want to help, tell him/her directly that

“I want to help” and you’re just there for them.

5. I believe that starting with myself or respecting my own privacy and respecting other

people’s privacy would spread to other people and they’d see how I act and they’d see

how I treat other people, then, eventually, each traits I have, these positive traits I have

will spread onto the world.

Amethyst Grace Valeroso, 16 years old

1. Well, their space or privacy is also their comfort zone and crossing that is keeping them

uncomfortable which is not really good.

 2. Yes, because privacy is your rights, you get to keep what you think that is appropriate to

keep for yourself and you can tell them whatever you want.

3. It depends on the situation he is trying to keep away from others. It may be

uncomfortable for him or her to share and you may need to understand their limits of
6
sharing that information.

4. I would not force this person to tell me whatever the situation is hurting him, but I would

gladly take good care of him or advise him to do the best he can to solve it on any way.

5. Well, respect, to give them some space, to understand what they’re going through and not

forcing them to do anything they would want to do.

Maverick D. Tiempo, 14 years old

1. For my opinion, giving space gives them time to think about the stuff that they’re dealing

with.

2. Giving people privacy allows them to think, so, while they are thinking, they’re being

focused and determined to being secured.

3. Yes, there is a limitation because sometimes people need space for they need time to

think about some problems and about some things they’re dealing with.

4. I could show that I respect his privacy by giving him space, knowing my limitations, and

keep away from him until he is ready can to share his problems to me. After that, I will

do my best to help him.

5. I could encourage everyone to respecting one’s space by telling them that they need time

to think, you should know your limitations and by giving them time to think, they’ll be

able to share their emotions, their feelings, and the problems they’re facing and by giving

them space we could help them afterwards. 7

Angelou Carnicer, 18 years old

1. Yes because respecting people’s privacy means implying to them the message that

although they may not be willing to tell you what their problem really is, you’re still

willing to support them even if it’s only in that way.

2. When you respect someone’s privacy it means that you respect them as a person. You

respect their views and their limitations. These limitations make them who they are.

3. Privacy is an important thing to an individual but it should not always be used. As a

human, it is an innate in us to be socially active. Like the saying goes, “no man is an

island” which means no person is supposed to feel alone all the time to keep all his

problems to himself.

4. There is a place to being a friend who advice and there is also a place in being the friend

who will be there for that person despite of not saying anything. Words might be

inadequate in some moments but silence; in most moments is the most important thing

that a person will need.

5. It would be nice to encourage everyone that respecting privacy does not mean that you’re

not being a good friend. Respecting their privacy means you’re respecting and also

trusting that they will be able to open up to you when they are ready.

Joseph Roy Garcia, 16 years old

1. It is important to respect everyone’s privacy for it is a virtue. It is one of the

responsibilities of a person. Respecting privacy of someone will help you gain his/her

trust.

8
 2. Of course, because you’re the only one who knows your secret. If your privacy is

respected, you would somehow feel safe.

3. One of the ways to make yourself feel better is to open up your problems to the people

you trust. That’s the limitation that I’m pointing out wherein you should not just depend

on the idea of privacy, you should learn to socialize with others and learn to trust others

to help lessen your burden.

4. I will talk to him without asking his problem because it’s his decision to keep it from me.

Who am I to force him to speak up about his problem? I will continue to comfort him

even if I don’t have any idea what he’s been going through.

5. I will encourage everyone to respect others privacy by talking to them and telling them

that they should not invade someone’s private life.

Based on the responses of the interviewees, they believed that respecting privacy is an

important virtue that would secure the emotional state of an individual. However, they also

thought that one must not just depend on the idea of privacy all the time and he must also learn to

socialize with others or learn how to open up sometimes because it is essential for him as a social

being.

keep secrets.)

 Statement 4 wherein 53% of the students answered ‘Always’ to the statement: (I

put password on my cell phone so that others won’t be able to open it.)

10
  Statement 7 wherein 73% of the students answered ‘Never’ to the statement: (I

give the password of my social media accounts to my friends.)

Moreover, majority of the students respect other’s privacy yet, they could not deny that

still, there are instances or few moments in which they tend to overlook the thought of respecting

one’s personal space. Based from the results:

 Statement 12 wherein 60% of the students answered ‘Never’ to the statement: (If my

friends try to play with me, I will spill their secrets as my way of revenge.)

 Statement 9 wherein 33% of the students answered ‘Seldom’ and 30% answered ‘Never’

to the statement: (I peek into someone’s personal message.

 Statement 13 wherein 60% of the students answered ‘Seldom’ to the statement: (I pry to

someone else’s personal problems.

 CHAPTER IV: SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

Summary

Nowadays, most people want to know everything about a certain situation or problem

that had caught their attention. The desire to answer their curiosity can sometimes make them

neglect or cross over the line of an individual’s own personal space. Some people tend to know

every detail without even thinking about how the person they’re forcing would eventually feel.

This makes some people an invader to someone’s privacy. That’s why some people won’t feel

emotionally secured which means that he/she won’t feel at ease. Emotional security is the

measure of stability of an individual’s emotional state, the emotional security of a person is to be

distinguished from the emotional safety provided by a non-threatening, supportive environment.

Conclusion

Privacy is about respecting individuals. If a person has a reasonable desire to keep

something private, it is disrespectful to ignore that person’s wishes without a compelling reason

to do so. Also, it enables people to manage their reputation. How we are judged by others affects

our opportunities, friendships, and overall well-being. Protecting reputation depends on

protecting against not only falsehoods but also certain truths. Knowing private details about

people’s lives doesn’t necessarily lead to more accurate judgment about people. Privacy helps

people protect themselves from these troublesome judgments. In fact, everyone wants their

privacy to be respected (specifically the CaraScians wherein majority of them sets some kind of

boundaries to assure security within them). Therefore, it could be concluded that respecting

one’s personal space promotes emotional security and improves the value and character of the

students in CRSHS based on the acquired results.

Q: Why is it important to respect someone’s personal space or privacy?

A: I believe that it is very much important for one person to respect another person’s
privacy or personal space because some people might be very uncomfortable with people
that they don’t know well to invade their own privacy. After all, we are all entitled to
have our own life and some people may choose to keep…some people out of it…and it is
important because paying respect to one’s privacy is like paying respect also to the
person.

Q: Do you agree that respecting privacy promotes emotional security? Why?

A: Yes I believe so. Whenever you feel emotional, there are some people who tend to get
in the way or try to break through your walls but…because there are different types of
person kase, like some people prefer to keep them out lage, as I said earlier, but yeah, it
provides emotional security.

Q: When should a person depend on the idea of privacy? Is there a limitation?

A: A person should always depend on privacy because this is one of the many weapons
or this is one of the many bullet armours that you have to protect yourself against many
people that may or may not betray you and I believe that yes, there are limitations
because after all, you should open up to those people that you have to open up to
especially your family, your parents, and your close friends, so, there is a limitation but
one should always respect one’s privacy.

Q: If your friend/classmate has a problem and yet he still wants to keep it to himself, in what way
can you show that you respect his privacy and at the same time having the intention of helping
him?
A: Uhmm…being a true friend, I believe that talking to that friend to that person, to that
family member is very essential. You have to discover and if you really are a close friend
to him/her, you would know why she’s feeling that way and you would know also when
to…when to ask about it and you just talk to them and if they tell you to not get to deep

16
 into what they are experiencing then you back off but if you really do want to help, tell
him/her directly that I want to help and you’re just there for them.

Q: As a student, how can you encourage everyone to respect other’s privacy and not just judge
them because of their silence?

A: I believe that starting with myself or respecting my own space and my own privacy
and respecting other people’s privacy…uhhmm… mag start kaw sa imo self, of course,
that would spread to other people and they’d see how you act and they’d see how you
treat other people, then, eventually, each traits you have, these positive traits you have
will spread onto the world then little by little we will have a… jaon gana na world. Yey!

Q: Why is it important to respect someone’s personal space or privacy?

A: So, respect goes in a lot of forms, a lot of ways, one of the most important things is the
fact of giving someone their own privacy. As an individual, we are all… we have our
own unique personalities, even problems. So we deal these problems differently and
although other people, most people, would be…not be afraid to show, to open up about
their problems, the other perhaps are more hesitant because of course they still have
doubts on whether their feelings are true. They’re still doubting their selves to feel this
way. They doubt other people if those people will understand what they feel. So
respecting these people’s privacy means implying to them the message that although they
may not be willing to tell you what their problem really is, you’re still willing to support
them even if it’s only in that way”
Q: Do you agree that respecting privacy promotes emotional security? Why?

A: yes uhm.. when you respect someone’s privacy it means that you respect them as a
person. You respect their views and their limitations. These limitations make them who
they are. And if you respect their desire to have their own privacy then that means that
you are able to support them even though you were not aware of these problems may be.
Q: When should a person depend on the idea of privacy? Is there a limitation?

A: uhm privacy is an important thing as an individual. But it should not always be used.
As a human, we are capable… we are… it is an innate in us to be socially active. It is an
important thing. Like the saying goes, “no man is an island” because no person is
supposed to feel alone all the time to keep all his problems to himself. As a person we are
capable of speaking and through speaking, we are able to communicate properly.
Especially in times when we need it the most.
Q: If your friend/classmate has a problem and yet he still wants to keep it to himself, in what way
can you show that you respect his privacy and at the same time having the intention of helping
him?
A: there is a place to being a friend who advice and there is also a place in being the
friend who will be there for that person despite of not saying anything because sometimes
what a person truly needs is not an advice or inspirational message but someone to be

20
 there for him or her when he needs it the most even if it means just standing beside him
or sitting beside him silently. Words…words...might be inadequate in some moments but
silence, in most moments are the most important thing that a person can need.
Q: As a student, how can you encourage everyone to respect other’s privacy and not just judge
them because of their silence?
A: As humans we are all unique in our own ways. Unique in our personalities, and our
ways of handling our problems and it is vital to remind everyone
that…that…through…that being a friend doesn’t mean giving them advice or telling
them what to do but being there for them is most important and this can also be done by
being there for them and just by holding their hand and it would and it would be nice to
encourage everyone that respecting privacy does not mean that you’re not being a good
friend. That means that respecting their privacy means you’re respecting and also trusting
that they will be able to open up to you when they are ready. And yeah amo rakan jaon.

A: uhmm. I will talk to him without asking his problem kay, dapat nako I repect ija
kagustuhan kay ija man jaon life na… I’m only a friend. Tapos, who am I to force him to
speak up about his problems. I will continue to comfort him even if I don’t have any idea
what he’s been going through. I should still respect him.
Q: As a student, how can you encourage everyone to respect other’s privacy and not just judge
them because of their silence?
A:I will encourage everyone to respect others privacy by talking to them na dapat di
pakialamera o pakialemero kay waya kita kahibayo sa ila tag-agihan makasakit sa ila part
kung ato pa utingkayon tapos I spread pa sa iban. What if you were that person, tapos
they keep on invading your privacy, won’t you feel mad or disrespected?
